It can also be played in PvP, but it is not optimal.

1.

Void Blade DPS Overview

With that beingsaid, you can certainly use Void Gauntlet Void Blade PvE Build (2) Void Blade for some interesting PvE DPS builds, or as a secondary when healing in order to help make a run go faster.When choosing to be a pure DPS it is important to continually reset and use cooldowns to maintain damage increases through your passives.

For more information on PvE healing please refer to Life Staff.

Void Blade Build

Void Gauntlet Void Blade PvE Build (4)

This build can flex into any weapon, even a Life Staff.It has average damage output. It will be a consistent damage option that has a lot of great grouputility through Void Gauntlet Void Blade PvE Build (5) Oblivion and the ability to keep a constant rend on targets.

  • Void Gauntlet Void Blade PvE Build (6) Petrifying Scream — Unleash a Void-infused scream, dealing 100% weapon damage, staggering and inflicting Root onnearby enemies. This also provides a high level of defensiveness through the fortify on Void Gauntlet Void Blade PvE Build (7) Fortifying Echoes. As a Void Gauntlet playerthis skill is crucial to use properly. Focus on setting up large "clumps" of enemies or rotate it into your rotation to take advantage of Void Gauntlet Void Blade PvE Build (8) Empowering Proximity.form of crowd control (CC). This is also great for locking down players who have exhausted themselves after avoiding other abilities.
  • Void Gauntlet Void Blade PvE Build (9) Void Blade — This is the main source of damage output. When used correctly a player can cast this ability and right asit hits a taget they can detonate it so that it double hits the target, also applying 2 stacks of rend and a damage over time effect. When usedon large clumps it results in a large amount of cooldown reduction in addition to damage due to the passives in the Void Gauntlet skill tree.
  • Void Gauntlet Void Blade PvE Build (10) Oblivion — The most common use for this ability comes through its perk Void Gauntlet Void Blade PvE Build (11) Nullifying Oblivion to remove buffs fromenemies. Otherwise, it deals a deceiving amount of AoE damage that is commonly under-rated. But its other purpose is to regenerate Stamina andprovide all those within the zone an empowerment buff to do more damage. This ability is great to use before going through a Void Gauntlet rotationto maximize damage.

Secondaries

In almost all cases a Life Staff will be paired with a Void Gauntlet simply because there is no need for a second weapon and this can provide some off healingor other buffs that the dedicated healer may not be using. Alternatively, a weapon scaling with Intelligence could be used, but it is not needed.

If you are looking for a pure damage alternative you can use something like the Ice Gauntlet.

3.1.

Healing Over Time Life Staff

Void Gauntlet Void Blade PvE Build (12)

Use a HoT Life Staff build to provide some additional support when needed through abilities like Void Gauntlet Void Blade PvE Build (13) Beacon since a healer will commonly not use it in PvE. This secondary buildallows you to simply use all of your abilities and then play with your Void Gauntlet until they are back up. You can choose to use them on cooldown, or save them if needed. In most casesit will be best to pre-buff all allies and once combat starts just use your Void Gauntlet unless heals are needed.

3.2.

Targeted Healing Build

Void Gauntlet Void Blade PvE Build (14)

You can also use this targeted healing build for more of an individual approach or to fill in if a healer dies unexpectedly. It is often better to use a build like this to be able to savea run if needed.

To learn more about either build please refer to the Life Staff guides.

Attributes

In PvE you want to play with the least amount of Constitution possible in order to focus on damage output. Using Void Gauntlet Void Blade PvE Build (15) Void Blade is fantastic since it does provide so much survivability. Assuch you can easily play at a baseline 100 Constitution and go as low as 50.

Builds that rely on Void Gauntlet damage are interesting since they also allow for you to scale your damage with Focus. This is also valuable because it will directly translate into healing outputfrom abilities like Void Gauntlet Void Blade PvE Build (16) Voidcaller. Additionally, you should have enough Focus to take over healing responsibilities if needed in a pinch.

Void Gauntlet Void Blade PvE Build (17)

When playing with Ward gear, self-healing, and all the additional fortify/damage reduction, you should be perfectly fine playing at 100 Constitution as long as you are able to dodge when needed.You will notice that by scaling 150 Focus you gain access to the passive for increased healing, but it also provides you with more sheet damage to your Void Gauntlet than if you were to scale 300 Intelligenceand 100 Focus. Your additional points as you gain gear score can go into more Intelligence for damage scaling, or Constitution for a small amount of survivability.

*: Void Gauntlet Void Blade PvE Build (40) Glowing Lifecrystal Staff is a best in slot drop from any version of Mutated Dynasty Shipyard or it can be crafted with Materia.

**: You will need respective Ward gear depending on the enemy type you are facing throughout the expedition. For example, if you are running Genesis you will want Void Gauntlet Void Blade PvE Build (41) Angry Earth Ward, butif you are in Lazarus Instrumentality you will want Void Gauntlet Void Blade PvE Build (42) Ancient Ward. The same trend follows with Protection on Amulets. Depending on the mutator there may be a certain elemental damage type thatyou need extra avoidance for. Instead of swapping all of your gems to that type, you can maintain Void Gauntlet Void Blade PvE Build (43) Cut Pristine Opal for a mix of magical defenses, but then simply change your amulet from week to week.

***: Similarly to Ward and Protection, you will need your Void Gauntlet to have a specific "Bane" perk to do more damage to each respective expedition's enemy types. This can result in incredible PvE damageoutput. If you do not wish to have multiple weapons, you can simply just replace this with an effective damage perk.

****: Unlike PvP, the Void Gauntlet perks are not generally necessary and can be avoided. But, if you do take Void Gauntlet Void Blade PvE Build (44) Nullifying Oblivion, you will not only remove buffs, but have a faster recharge. This isnot necessary since you will have so much cooldown reduction anyway. Additionally you could take Void Gauntlet Void Blade PvE Build (45) Voracious Blade for increased survivability. If not, just fill in something like Void Gauntlet Void Blade PvE Build (46) Elemental Aversion orVoid Gauntlet Void Blade PvE Build (47) Refreshing.

Overall with gearing, this is the ideal loadout of perks for a best in slot build. With that being said, be sure to refer tothe Void Gauntlet/Ice Gauntlet perks guide to have a better understanding of other flexible perk options to fit into your build. You can decide what you aremost comfortable with.
