Void / Ice Gauntlet PvP Build

This critical damage build is a super powerful counter to any melee fighter. The void gauntlet has powerful damage skills and can pump out a lot of self-healing just by being aggressive. This build takes advantage of both the ranged and melee potential of the void gauntlet, while using the powerful CC abilities from the ice gauntlet to control the battlefield. You can play this setup in any armor weight of your choice, as its control-oriented gameplay doesn’t require you to wear light armor.

I highly recommend putting at least 50 points in Constitution, so that your healing consumables are stronger. 100 points is even better if you’re in heavier armor weights. Make sure you stack 150 points in Focus for the bonus healing power!

Constitution

• 50: All health consumables 20% stronger. +10% logging speed.

• 100: Increase max health by 10% of your physical armor. -10% reduction on durability loss for tools.

Intelligence

• 50: +10% damage to light and heavy magic attacks. +10% harvest speed.

• 100: +10% critical hit chance. 5% chance for 1 Azoth when harvesting.

• 150: +15% to elemental damage. -10% decrease in weight of harvested items.

• 200: +10 mana after a dodge. +10% harvest speed.

Focus

• 50: +10% mana regen rate. +10% fishing line tension.

• 100: +20 to mana pool. +10% yield increase when salvaging.

• 150: +20% healing output. -10% decrease carry weight of fish.

You will want to get Focus, Constitution, and Intelligence for attributes on your gear.

This build also functions a lot better if you can get Keen for additional critical chance on both your Void and Ice Gauntlets. For the Void Gauntlet, Keenly Jagged is also a great option, as is Vicious or Enchanted. For the Ice Gauntlet, Keenly Empowered is a great second perk alongside Keen.

Both weapons have been fitted with Gambit Gems to increase damage while not at full stamina. The Cruel Gem is also a great choice, as this build has a ton of crowd control.

Resilient and Refreshing are always amazing armor perks for PvP. The Healing Entombed, Deadly Frost, and Unending Thaw Ice Gauntlet perks are also great choices! We haven’t seen what armor perks the Void Gauntlet skills will get yet, but they may be a good option for this build in the future.

Jewelry perks that focus on increasing healing power and max health are amazing. The hearty perk for additional max stamina is fantastic because it allows you to roll twice in light armor, without running out of stamina. I couldn’t get my hands on any Keen Awareness Rings (increases critical chance), but it’s definitely the best perk to have for this build. Regenerating and potion cool-down reduction are the best options for the earring.

I like to play this build in light armor, but because it’s a control-focused build, but it would work great in any armor weight!

The best armor gems to use would be Wilderness Ward physical and elemental damage reduction, as they provide the most well-rounded defense.

As always, you want to try to use the best food and potions that you have available! Make sure you use regeneration potions and try to get your hands on some attribute-increasing food!
