The Ice Gauntlet is one of the most powerful weapons players can wield in New World, but even so, there are always ways to enhance a weapon or playstyle. Specifically, pairing the ice gauntlet with particular weapons that play well with it is a great way to start. Then it’s all down to what attributes and skill lines are invested in.

Ice Gauntlet & Rapier Build

For a quick and focused DPS build, the rapier is a good friend to the ice gauntlet. Remember that with this build it is all dependent on whether the rapier or the ice gauntlet will be the main weapon. For a more rapier-focused build, dump more points into Dexterity. Alternatively, for a more ice gauntlet-based build, focus more on Intelligence.

Ice Gauntlet & Fire Staff Build
