New World Ultimate VG Leeching PvP Build Guide
Build Overview
This build focuses on leveraging the Void Gauntlet along with the Pestilence to control the battlefield, apply anti-heals to your enemies, and maintain your durability in fights. We’ll ensure you’re sticking to foes like glue while dishing out high damage – all thanks to the perfect combination of weapons, armor, and attributes.
Weapons
Primary Weapon: Void Gauntlet
For this build, your primary focus will be on the VG/Pestilence combo. If you haven't yet acquired the Pestilence, you can substitute it with the Inferno in the meantime.
Key abilities to look for include Putrefying Scream to control enemy movement and apply disease.
Recommended Void Gauntlet Options:
· Commandant’s Void Blade: Drops from OPR caches.
· Draught of Death: Farm this from the Ancient Mob in Elysian Wilds, but you’ll need a Boon of Artemis potion for it to drop.
· Hade’s Fury: Obtained from Warpig Firethorn, which spawns at different locations depending on the in-game time.
Secondary Weapon: Pestilence
The Pestilence, while not a high-damage weapon, is essential for applying anti-heal effects. If you’re only using it for this build, consider upgrading with an Exhaustive Net Shot gem.
Armor
Opt for medium armor to balance mobility and damage resistance. Here’s the ideal setup:
· Chestpiece: Medium
· Head, Gloves, and Boots: 2x Heavy, 1x Medium
Targeted Perks:
· Voracious Blade
· Diminishing Orb or Slowing Tether
These perks will help you maintain tankiness while staying aggressive and sticky in battles.
Jewelry
Choose your jewelry wisely to maximize your combat effectiveness.
· Amulet: Look for health, a protection perk, and something like Stamina Recovery.
· Ring: Go for Keen Awareness or void damage, along with Leeching and Hearty.
· Earring: Ideal perks include Fortifying Toast or Empowering Toast, Nimble or Regenerating, and Refreshing Toast.
If you’re struggling to find great gear, don’t hesitate to start with Faction Gear, which scales well in Outpost Rush and Arenas.
Best in Slot (BIS) Setup
Primary Weapons
For the BIS selection of your Void Gauntlet, consider these options:
1. Sentinal’s Claw: Comes with an amazing combination of Vicious and Alacritous Punishment.
2. Worm VG Duneborn Hajdi: Upgrade with either Vicious or Alacritous Punishment.
3. Shimemrmist VG: Craft from the well in Cutlass Keys and upgrade it with a Putrefying Scream.
4. Crafted Gorgonite: Ideal with attunement, alacritous punishment, and either Plagued Crits or Putrefying Scream.
Armor
For your armor setup, you should consider:
· Worm Medium Chestpiece: Dune Tagma (with Keen).
· Worm Heavy Boots: Sandlion Tarsus (with Keen Speed).
· 1x Frigid Dawn item: Illegal perk combo with Enchanted Ward and Elemental Aversion.
· 1x Medium Hoplite item: With Enchanted Ward and health.
Your perks should focus on Putrefying Scream (if not on your weapon), Voracious Blade, and either Slowing Tether or Diminishing Orb based on your skill tree choices. For jewelry upgrades, the only significant improvement to consider is the ring: go for the Elemental Band with Leeching. This provides an edge when you are weakened. To maximize your effectiveness, you might want to buy New World Gold coins from a reliable source like MMOEXP, which can help you acquire those essential upgrades.
