Build Playstyle

This build will have you use the Void Gauntlet as your DPS weapon, while the Rapier will be used as mobility and defensive weapon to fend off enemies that try to rush you.

We will be mainly trying to land Orb of Decay to your opponents and detonating it afterward to get two stacks of Void Essence for your Glimpse of the Void. To make this easier for us, we will be using Petrifying Scream near the opponent to root them. Try to land Baleful Tether to weaken them and maximize the burst damage you deal with an opponent. Another way of making it easier to land your Void Gauntlet skills is by getting a parry against your opponent's attack with Riposte, stunning and allowing you to do your combo easily.

If you're in a rough situation, use Fleche to get out of your enemy's range or use it as a way to charge towards your enemy, making it easier for you to land Petrifying Scream. Try to land Tondo to inflict the Bleed status effect during fights.

Build Playstyle

This build balances dealing damage through Void Gauntlet's Spells and supporting your team by healing and granting buffs.

Life Staff Passive Heals

Life staff will be your healing tool during fights. Place down your Sacred Ground whenever possible and apply Beacon to have a passive heal going. Use Light's Embrace only as an emergency tool if you have trouble healing.

Void Gauntlet as the DPS

Not only does Void Gauntlet's spells damage opponents, but it heals allies as well! Void Blade will be the spell you'll be using a lot as your DPS tool, as it also inflicts DoT to your enemies.

Angle your Orb of Decay, especially during tank pulls when you use it to maximize the number of enemies getting damaged and to heal your tank or party members when it comes back. Essence Rupture will also help with healing whenever someone attacks the target under its effect.

Build Playstyle

This build uses the ice and void gauntlets to inflict crowd control effects and deal heavy damage to opponents. Void Gauntlet will be your primary weapon against your opponents. Orb of Decay is a powerful tool against enemies as it is an AoE attack that can also explode using the Detonating Orb perk.

If you hit an opponent and detonated it correctly afterward, it can acquire two stacks of Void Essence, which can potentially reset all your skills. Successfully landing a Petrifying Scream at your opponent will disable their movement and make it easier to land your combo. Applying Baleful Tether prior will also help maximize the DPS to delete a chunk of their health or kill them outright.

Then we use the Ice Gauntlet mainly as a support weapon as It can fill your mana back, place down AoE to slow opponents, and inflict DoT and crowd control effects to your opponents. This makes it easier for you to land your Void Gauntlet skills, making it an ideal support weapon to pair it up with.
