Top 3 New World Best Fire Staff Builds For PVP & PVE

1. New World Fire Staff and Rapier Build 

- Main Weapon: Fire Staff

- Secondary Weapon: Rapier

- Attributes: Strength (5), Dexterity (5), Intelligence (250), Constitution (150)

Gear recommended:

Go with the medium category and the best gear setup is to have heavy helmet, heavy chest piece, light pants, medium boots and medium gloves. And this will give you 22.9 kilogram weight which is exactly just below the heavyweight category.

The Fire Staff abilities we recommend are:

- Pillar of Fire: In your targeted area, it shoots the burst of flames dealing damage to all enemies standing in the circle. But as this ability takes about a second to cast, I recommend right after channeling the spell do one medium jump and this will speed up the casting process by a lot.

- Fireball: It is very powerful damage spell and as it is an aoe spell, you don't have to hit directly an enemy, you can just aim it at the ground where the target is standing on and it will damage him as well.

- Burnout: A big dash spell that you can use for mobility or if you hit enemies while dashing they will take extra burn damage.

The Rapier abilities we recommend are:

- Evade: By activating makes you invulnerable for a split second and it can't be good in dodging enemy attacks but you have to know how to use it.

- Repost: It means that when you activate it and if an enemy hits you, you will reflect the incoming damage from you to him. So if he doesn't have ability on you instead of you getting hit, he will hit himself.

- Fleece: It will deal damage and provide the small but nice mobility spell.

The best way to play this New World best fire staff build:

The best way to attack a player is always try to keep your distance, so always be away from the enemy at least 45 meters. So what you want to do is from the range, use your auto attacks and activate the fireball and then keep on using the medium dodge rolls for 15% increased damage, and then when the enemy gets close to you, you dash into him with the burnout ability and then switch to the rapier. First of all, use your repost ability and reflect the incoming damage. Then when that is done, use your fleece ability and create more distance from him. So while he tries to catch up to you switch to the fire staff and try to finish him off or if that is not enough, go back to the rapier and use the evade and auto attacks and that should do the job. For this specific build, there are many playstyles, so for example, you could never dash into the enemy but instead use the burnout ability and dash away and then you do the same thing with the rapier fleet ability and this would create a lot of distance to shoot the enemy from far away. This fire staff and rapier build gives you a lot of playstyles to try out and play, you can go all in with the rapier or try to keep your distance with the fire stuff and much more.

Conclusions for this build: This fire staff and rapier weapon combination is super strong and has very high damage capability. And with the spells we have selected, we make this build work very well in pve open world pvp and even in one we wants.

Gems recommended for this New World Fire Staff and Rapier build:

- Fire staff: Opal gem

- Rapier: Aquamarine gem 

- All gear: Onyx gem                                                                                

If you're looking for a very fun and high damage New World build for solo or group pvp and pve, then this is the one for you.

2. New World Fire Staff and Ice Gauntlet Build

- Main Weapon: Fire Staff

- Secondary Weapon: Ice Gauntlet

- Attributes: Strength (5), Dexterity (5), Intelligence (250), Focus (5), Constitution (150)

Gear recommended:

Go with the medium category and the best gear setup is to have heavy helmet, heavy chest piece, light pants, medium boots and medium gloves.

The Fire Staff abilities we recommend are:

- Player of Fire: Use it only on grouped up players and never in a 1v1 because it will deal decent damage, but you have to stand still for a second while casting the spell and by doing that you become an easy target to the enemy shots. So basically only use the spell in group pvp or pve.

- Fireball: A very powerful damage spell and you can just aim it at the ground where the target is standing on and it will damage him as well.

- Burnout: A big dash spell that you can use for mobility.

The Ice Gauntlet abilities we recommend are:

- Ice Storm: All enemies standing in it will get damaged and slowed and the more enemies you hit, the higher damage you will get.

- Ice Shower: When using will create an ice wall and if players go through it, it will stun them and this ability is very useful in chopping your targets.

- Ice Block: By using, you put yourself in a block where you cannot take any damage and you can go out of that ice block by pressing the same f key or instead press the right mouse button and make it explode while going off that ice block dealing even more damage to the enemies.

The best way to play this New World best fire staff build:

As far as your ability combinations go for the ice gauntlet, when farming mobs or even players, the best spell combination to do is place the ice storm aka the q ability and then go ice block by pressing the f ability and players or mobs standing in the storm will be taking a lot of damage every second. And you will be fully protected in the eyes block, then place the ice shovel aka the r ability whenever you want to stun an enemy or run away from him and this will create a wall which the enemy cannot go through. As far as your fire staff abilities go, use your fireball and pillar of fire on grouped up enemies and to run away from players or run towards them, use the burnout ability and especially in wars this spell is really good, because when you use it and it dashes, it will do damage to all players that you just dashed through. So you can easily one shot your enemies if they are just 30% health. 

Conclusions for this fire staff build: This fire staff and ice gauntlet weapon combination was nerfed in the previous patch and it doesn't do that much high damage as it used to. But it is still a very good build for mage class. Because of the perks we have selected, you don't have to run out of mana ever and you don't have to waste any money on mana potions. You can just easily do only heavy attacks which you do the same way like normal attacks by just holding the attack button for a second longer.

Gems recommended for this Fire Staff and Ice Gauntlet build:

- Ice Gauntlet: Malachite gem

- Fire Staff: Opal gem 

- Gear, Amulet, Rings: Onyx gem

So if you're looking for one of the best and most dps builds for mages, then this is the best weapon combination.

3. New world fire staff and void gauntlet

- Main Weapon: Fire Staff

- Secondary Weapon: Void Gauntlet

- Attributes: Strength (5), Dexterity (5), Intelligence (250), Focus (5), Constitution (150)

Gear recommended:

Go again with the medium category and the best gear setup is to have heavy helmet, heavy chest piece, light pants, medium gloves and medium boots. This will give you 22.9 kilogram weight which is exactly just below the heavyweight category and technically you could get about 3-5% extra damage and two dodge rolls if you choose to go with the light category. But as a mage player your abilities really don't have that much of a range. So for PVP and PVE, you really have to use the medium armor. 

The Fire Staff abilities recommended are:

- Fireball: It is very powerful damage spell and as it is an aoe spell, you don't have to hit directly an enemy, you can just aim it at the ground where the target is standing on and it will damage him as well.

- Incinerate: When you use it, it creates a fiery explosion around you, which will deal decent damage inflict burn effect and cause enemies to get pushed back for 3 meters.

- Burnout:  A big dash spell that you can use for mobility or if you hit enemies while dashing they will take extra burn damage.

The Void Gauntlet abilities recommended are:

- Void Blade: After activating, you basically get avoid dagger which you can use like any other melee weapon and by using normal attacks, not only you will do a lot of damage, but as well reduce your enemies damage observation.

- Oblivion: It creates a circle around you and you and your teammates inside the circle will get 20 damage increase. But on the other hand, your enemy standing in the circle will be taking damage over time

- Petrifying Scream: When using, it will deal decent damage stagger and root enemies in front of you for few seconds, and if you hold the left mouse button, you can get your mana back, but it will remove your health.

The best way to play this best fire staff build in New World:

The way you want to use this build in combat is first of all use your void gauntlet and place the oblivion spell. And then right after switch the fire staff and shoot the light or heavy attacks and keep on spamming them till you're close enough to the enemy that you can shoot him with the fireball. Then when you get attacked or find yourself surrounded by one or two enemies, use the incinerate ability and save the burnout ability for escaping. But as it is a dash spell, that behind its dash deals burn damage, so you can use it to run away or run towards an enemy. When your fire staff abilities are on cooldown or you are farming mobs in PVE, then switch again to the void gauntlet and use the void blade and petrifying scream to stun your enemies and do bunch of damage.

Conclusions for this build: This fire staff and void gauntlet weapon combination right now is very strong and is a very high damage build for mage classes and you can use it for PVP and PVE as well.
