New World's Public Test Realm (PTR) has introduced an exciting addition to the game – the Void Gauntlet. This brand-new weapon has been in the works for some time, and its arrival promises to revolutionize the MMO experience. With its unique skill set and scaling attributes, the Void Gauntlet is set to reshape the gameplay in many ways.
What Makes the Void Gauntlet So Captivating?
The Void Gauntlet stands out as the first weapon in New World, apart from the Life Staff, that scales damage and healing with the Focus attribute. Additionally, being a magical weapon, it primarily scales off Intelligence. This versatility makes it an excellent choice for any build in New World. Even Dexterity-based weapons like the Rapier and Musket can benefit from Intelligence scaling. Moreover, non-Intelligence weapons can now scale off Focus when paired with an Amber gem. Since the game's launch, Amber gems have gained popularity for enabling hybrid builds that combine any weapon with the highly regarded Life Staff, known for its exceptional healing capabilities in solo and group play.
With the Void Gauntlet's healing perks scaling exclusively with Focus, it is advisable to allocate a substantial number of attribute points to Focus for optimal efficiency. A total of 150 points in Focus, and potentially up to 300, can unlock the full potential of this weapon. By emphasizing Focus in Void Gauntlet builds, players gain an incredible self-healing option that goes beyond the Life Staff's primary focus on healing others. Notably, the Void Gauntlet offers both damage-oriented and support-oriented skill trees, allowing players to enjoy the best of both worlds when wielding this exceptional weapon.
Another intriguing feature of the Void Gauntlet is its innate action, which allows New World players to sacrifice their own health in exchange for mana. This ability proves particularly advantageous for those who wish to dual-wield the Void Gauntlet with another magical weapon that relies on mana as a resource. Given the various healing methods the Void Gauntlet provides, the manageable amount of damage taken becomes a worthwhile trade-off.
Moreover, the Void Gauntlet presents an excellent choice for Life Staff users due to the synergy between continuous healing and dealt damage. It can also help alleviate mana-related issues that healers often encounter. With the introduction of this new weapon, the New World meta is bound to experience a significant shift. The Void Gauntlet's diverse kit encompasses damage skills, crowd control abilities, and healing capabilities, all combined into a single weapon. This comprehensive range of options sets it apart from many other weapons in the game, making it a truly game-changing addition.
New World's Void Gauntlet is poised to revolutionize the gameplay experience. With its unique scaling mechanics, versatile attributes, and a diverse skill set, this magical weapon offers players an unprecedented level of flexibility. Whether used in conjunction with Focus or as a complement to the Life Staff, the Void Gauntlet brings a fresh dynamic to character builds, challenging the existing meta and expanding the possibilities within the world of New World.
