Hatchet is the best weapon for soloing in the game. I recommend using it to grind to high level on a STR/CON build and then respec-ing into a mage. It's just so much faster. I did that before I became a healer.

for great axe and hatchet wouldnt you want Med or light for high DPS ? since the buffs are working now for armor ?

The buffs still aren’t currently properly converting light is 7-13% buff instead of 20 and med is 4-5% instead of 10. On top of that even when those are properly working it won’t be worth generally as cc is so prevalent w the hammer Mets that u will insta did in light or med armor so having 1.8k of both resists in heavy is generally better for the survivability

sorry did not get the reason not having strength over 200 for GA+Hatchet build? can you please elaborate?

There are diminishing returns so each stat is worth less. Also, 250 STR makes your attacks slower and effectively lowers your dps.

Well basically after 249 strength your damage goes from 1 damage per point to 0.6 per point so 250 strength will give you 250x0.6 and 249 will give you 249x1

Thanks and to answer your questions this video is not meant only for pve but pvp as well, and these builds with these setups are the most optimal way for both pvp and pve.

I see a lot of top 3 or 5 videos but nobody uses musket and hatchet. I run musket with empower shot, powder burn, and traps, and I run the hatchet with all points into the berserker tree. With all points into dex and gear that gives me dex (I’m level 38) but I have 200 dex. With people wearing light armor I can two tap with empower and powder burn. And I use the traps for the head strong melee guys and root them just so I can hit them with my musket then go in with my hatchet to finish them. The build is really slept on. I get into fights with level 50s and 60s and beat them. It just takes a skilled player to use it because you’re a glass cannon.

[@KaidGames2]

This build might me decent at low levels but when you get to 60 and fight against life staffs, full heavy tanks and ect this build just doesn't do enough

You earned a sub from me. Amazing video straight to the point.

[@Kardall]

1. When Casting Ice Storm (AoE) switching to Fire Staff cancels the damage/effects. 2. Pillar of Fire is broken and can hit twice 3. Pillar of Fire is broken and can self-cast on yourself if you press the hot key while sheathed. 4. Pillar of Fire is broken and can self-cast even if you use the targeting reticle and something/someone moves in between you or an object goes between you and the target area. 5. Getting hit during Ice Storm can cause it to not go off and go on cooldown 6. Getting hit during Pillar of Fire will cause it to not go off and go on cooldown 7. Light Armor has better mobility, but the 20% healing/damage does not work right now. If it worked, we would be doing 4,200 Crit Damage x2 to a target in a single second. Taking your beefy 17k hp tank to 8,600 HP in about 1 second if they are not blocking. Just my observations. I see people doing 3500 crits with Pillar of Fire with a single tick. When it hits twice (irregular and not reliable), it is just flat out broken. Good broken for the mages but bad broken for the receiving end.

[@Unocole]

this guy gets it

[@wideout7838]

All of these things are true! Light armor is missing 7-13% damage bonus which is gonna be insane once that starts working. On top of that one thing you didn’t note is light armor crits are broken because the regular damage is broken and are currently doing 30% bonus damage instead of the 60% light armor is meant to give with these 2 things fixed eventually they will be doing even more than that 4.5k u mentioned and could reach even 5.3~k meaning u could completely oneshot someone off a crit with 10k or less hp

[@wideout7838]

On top of that this guys build w only 200 int n 200 con and med armor isn’t v good tbh the light armor when fixed is gonna be far superior and 300+ int with 100 con baseline max is gonna be what ur looking for

[@3ugeneCrabs]

Light armor is working as intended. The point is that the 20% are doing literally no bonus dmg at all because medium armor has already double the defense of a light armor. Heavy armor has even more defense. So your bonus dmg on light armor is way to weak to be effective. To fix light armor being worth using, they need to buff the dmg bonus to minimum 40-50%. It sounds like to much but in reality isnt. Otherwise you are doing almost the same dmg as in medium armor but get hit by much harder because your defense is shit.

[@wideout7838]

@@3ugeneCrabs no it isn’t… it’s been okay tested 100s of time and the proper damage conversion is not coming thru, crits are also not properly converting in light. And your assumption is incorrect the damage boost of 20% is right around the difference in damage reduction between light and heavy armor meaning it’s balanced between wanting to be tankier or more glass cannon. When light armor confers it’s proper bonus mages are going to be able to crit for 10k on a heavy attack w IG on a target w frostbite on it

You aren't bound to just using 2 weapons. If you want a build for Rapier I suggest taking up bow and Spear or Musket as well. My Company Leader/Friend actually uses all 4. Just keep in mind Rapier is mainly a backup weapon. Most of the time I see it used as an escape weapon for when you get jumped as a ranged character, although spear fills the same role and spear has a fantastic CC combo.

[@freakz_lol]

Yeah i'm using Rapier / Ice Gauntlet with Int ofc. The IG is my main dps source, and the Rapier is mostly used to hold and close gaps, depending on how the fight is going. Sometimes I dash in to finish a target, but thats rather dangerous cuz of the heavy cc chains in the game. Works quite well, I rarely lose 1v1s and can always trade kills in 1v2 or more, and get out cuz of the mobility. Only light armor sucks, so i'm trying heavy atm, but you kinda need the dodgeroll so I'll most likely go back to light.

[@sakoox]

@@KaidGames2 oh then ok thanks

[@Cowlyyy]

I personally wouldn't recommend swapping out light armor for medium armor as a mage... You'd want to stay in the back anyway, so you won't get hit much, and when you do, the light roll is much better for getting away to get enough time to put down an ice shower. The extra damage you get from using light armor is also huge. With the fire staff having free heavy attacks, and getting mana back upon successful hits you'll rarely be out of mana. Especially if you use your entomb (which you probably should refrain from using, because you'll need it if you get jumped) but even if you run out of mana, mana potions are something you should have on you anyway... Mana is not a problem in this game.

The SnS build though. I find it weird. I'd rather get the reverse stab which if i hit at least 2-3 enemies i'll get my skill on almost CD if not full CD. Also the shield bash creates taunts with the carnelian. so you can rotate them with defiant so you can hard tank. I have nothing against the life staff as secondary i think it's nice that you can self sustain. But, i'd rather have hammer get armor breaker it has rend debuff makes life easier for your DPS, wrecking ball which has flatten for CC and shockwave AOE stun with carnelian can also taunt. So, you can have a rotation of shield bash, defiant stance, and shockwave. the boss has no way in hell can get away from you. I'm not really sure about the PVP aspect though, haven't tried it. but, I guess if they ignore you, you got 2 stuns(shield bash and shockwave), 1 knockdown(wrecking ball), 1 rend(armor breaker) which is also nice.

First. Good Video

[@KaidGames2]

Thanks

[@goblez5900]

I don't really like those skills for the life staff. I'm currently one of the best healers on my server and my current build is: From the Protection tree: Orb of protection + all its skills, Beacon + All except the last one in the chain. From the Healing Tree: Sacred Ground + all it's skills, everything from the absolved mini tree, and every other skill not a part of a tree as well as Divine Blessing.

[@goblez5900]

My build is more geared towards pvp, Generally you'll be sitting in your backline but not too far from the action while shooting your abilities into the group. If you get jumped you can then pull out your sword and shield and block to defend yourself until your teammates can rotate back to help you.

[@rivahs]

you think that ice gauntlet and fire staff build is good for solo pve stuff?

[@goblez5900]

It's alright, you'll need to have plenty of food though. Early game will be a little rough.

[@gu1lty99]

I solo'd everything from lvl 1-60 (except expeditions and elite zones of course) with this build.

[@mn_fireshotz63]

How are you supposed to have a 3:1 for the firestaff/ice gauntlet when you only earn 190 attribute points through leveling

[@cristhiangutierrez8291]

you start to get more attribute points when you reach lv 40

[@ivanbssouza]

Carnelian Gem for a DPS build ? Why ? I guess if the skill dosent have a TAUNT will be less threat right ? But do you really need threat reduction to play as a DPS ?

[@KaidGames2]

You got it all side ways, you want to use the carnelian gem on your weapons so in pve your healers and other dps players wouldn't get mobs on them but you would get them on you as you were a heavy armor and can play as tank

[@crilokk953]

and what kind of armor to wear for the top 3

Why do you have arcane and nature on your axes

[@morganmorgan5664]

Arcane is the wisest choice because nothing in the game when it comes to PvE is resistant to it and you would have to gem for it in PvP to negate it. As for nature, it does not scale well at all and is a poor choice of gem for everything. Anything is better on weapons when it comes to Ambers

[@KingOppTre]

In open world PVP, or dueling YES that is best build and will be severely OP when light isn’t bugged. It can be beat kind of easy rn if you’re a good player with great axe but also depends on how the engagement started.

[@RealTeeroh]

@@KingOppTre i love when kids with great axe push me with bow spear, its easy. You literally just have to keep your distance and know when to go in with spear and every 1v1 you will have the upper hand.

Why medium armour for the fire staff build and not light armour for the 20% damage increase

[@matthewkania4198]

You die very quickly with light armor, it's not worth it to get the bonus 20% damage when medium gives bonus 10% and you don't die in one hit.

[@Showerofjyzz]

question: why does ur damage take a dip if youre over 250 on axe build?

[@ronnysandstrom7210]

I heard its a bugg in the game atm that makes it, and since its such a strong build its based around they wont stress the fix. but im not sure if thats the correct reason

[@hamzabouzidi2944]

so what about the bow and spear ?

[@stianfr7189]

dex builds are weak atm

[@KaidGames2]

They are not that popular but the build is good as I put bow and spear builds in my last 3 to 4 videos almost every single time

[@midono77]

its good but only useful in 1vs1. not that good in wars and groups. plus needs abit of skill than other builds as well. but keep playing what you like thats all that matters if you dont do hardcore pvp, maybe bow and spear will get a buff later who knows

So you dont want to go light for the roll on gauntlet/staff build anymore?🙂

There is even a dmg/healing bonus of 20% for light builds but these morons would rather have a wet noodle fight.

[@Vicieus1]

@@StyxByrd Actually there was testing done and i forgot which streamer posted it but the 20% isn't working correctly you only see about 8% bonus damage so it's not worth it as far as min/maxing goes, thats why most top tier are going med or heavy. Though I love the game play with the roll so I still choose light....

You still get mana back for dodging in medium and heavy

[@jonahpetrasch2887]

Is this meant to use for pvp ?

[@TheStereoField]

How are we supposed to get 300 pts in a stat by 60? You can only allocate 200 total. So for example if you split int and con, then you’ll need to have 150 pts just from your gear by 60? Seems unlikely

[@NinJaFLiPP2k]

Was thinking the same thing. how ?

as you level, you get more additional stats. also your gearscore rises therefore giving u more additional stats on each piece as well. im level 60 with 325 strength 100 constitution. 425 total points
