Axe + Great Axe
Why is this combo played? The Axe and Great Axe both scale with the Strength attribute, making them a useful combo. Additionally, you can pull enemies with the axe and then deal massive damage to them with the axe.
The Axe has the unique feature that through the attribute “Defy Death”, you become invulnerable for 3 seconds when you would normally die. This allows you to defeat your enemy just in time, sprint to safety, or get healed by allies.
How do I distribute the attributes? You invest most points in Strength. Remaining attribute points go into Constitution to increase your hit points in PvP.
Which skills do I use with the Axe? With the Axe, you primarily focus on the Berserker tree and use all 3 active skills from it:
- Berserker
- Feral Rush
- Raging Torrent
The Berserker mode increases your dealt damage, your movement speed, you cannot be interrupted, and you also regenerate hit points. This makes the weapon very strong in both PvP and PvE.
You use Feral Rush to leap towards enemies that are not directly next to you. Raging Torrent, in turn, deals significant damage and subsequently increases your movement speed.
Which skills do I use with the Great Axe? With the Great Axe, you utilize both skill trees:
- Gravity Well
- Charge
- Maelstrom
With Charge, you sprint towards opponents. With Gravity Well, you pull in opponents that stand in front of you, and with Maelstrom, you pull opponents around you closer to you. This provides a lot of useful crowd control to take out healers.
What does the gear look like? Since you are engaged in close combat and also want Strength on your PvP armor, we recommend the heavy 490 or 520 armor from your faction. In general, you should pay attention to the attributes Strength and Constitution when acquiring armor.
Light armor is not recommended as you will die too quickly in the midst of combat.
What does the rotation of skills look like? You start the fight with the Great Axe, use “Charge” on the opponent, and try to land 3 light attacks to charge the stacks of the passive effect “Greed”. If the opponent dodges these attacks, you use “Maelstrom” to pull him towards you.
Stay close to your opponent and continue using light attacks until you see the perfect moment and the opponent has no stamina left. Then pull him to you with “Gravity Well” and switch to the Axe.
There, use Feral Rush to immobilize the enemy and then Berserker and Raging Torrent to deal maximum damage. Here, too, it is useful to land 3 light attacks to further increase your damage.
Fire Staff + Ice Gauntlet
Why is this combo played? The two magical weapons Fire Staff and Ice Gauntlet scale with the Intelligence attribute and deal a lot of damage. However, with this specific build, we focus not on AoE damage, but on targeted 1v1 fights or the attempt to snipe a specific enemy with high damage.
The Ice Gauntlet is especially important for defense in close combat and for freezing enemies.
How do I distribute the attributes? In the attributes, you focus on Intelligence to strengthen both weapons. Additionally, we recommend 150 points in Constitution to reduce incoming critical damage by 10%.
Which skills do I use with the Fire Staff? With the Fire Staff, you access both skill trees:
- Fireball
- Flame Burst
- Burning
The Fireball is your main damage dealer in 1v1, and the Flame Burst is ideal to start a fight as it deals additional damage to targets at full health. Burning, on the other hand, is a more defensive ability that can deal good damage due to the burning effect.
Which skills do I use with the Ice Gauntlet?
- Ice Storm
- Ice Shower
- Ice Prison
Ice Storm and Ice Shower are ideal for dealing AoE damage and simultaneously slowing down opponents. With Ice Prison, you have an ability that makes you invulnerable when your hit points get low.
What does the gear look like? Ideal for PvP is the light 490 or 520 armor from your faction vendor. This provides you with the attributes Intelligence and Constitution, making it easy to achieve the right attributes.
Light armor also gives a 10% damage buff, which you should definitely take advantage of when playing this build.
What does the rotation of skills look like? In a ranged duel, you primarily use the Fire Staff and cast Fireball on cooldown to deal as much damage as possible. In between, you use Flame Burst on your opponent. With heavy attacks, you regain your mana during the wait period.
In large battles for conquest points, you use Fireball and Ice Storm and Ice Shower from the Ice Gauntlet.
If it comes to a melee duel, you use Ice Shower and a heavy attack to freeze your enemy with the passive effect “Heavy Freeze”. Additionally, the Ice Storm around you helps apply pressure to your opponent in melee. With Burning, you also have a useful ability to roll through the enemy and deal additional damage.
Thanks to the light armor, you generally have better dodging options than any melee fighter.
