MAGE BUILD (Fire Staff)

New World Mage Build and Guide for PvE

Weapon Choices

Whilst there are a wide variety of Mage builds being run in New World, in this guide we're going to keep it concise and focus on the following weapons: Fire Staff, Ice Gauntlet, and Void Gauntlet.

Using a combination of any two of these weapons alongside having a majority of your stats put into intelligence will effectively make you a "mage" in New World.

If you're struggling on which two weapons to go with, here's a simple breakdown of what each weapons provides to your group:

• Fire Staff is a pure damage weapon, especially good against the Angry Earth.
• Ice Gauntlet is good for high damage with some Slows, Roots and Rend.
• Void Gauntlet offers high damage along with Root, Rend, Empower and Weaken capabilities. It is highly recommended to have a Void Gauntlet user on any team for mutations etc.

Attributes

You will want 310 Intelligence + 200 Constitution. This will be the attribute ratio we use for any combination of Mage weapons in this guide. You may wish to take points out of Constitution and put them into Intelligence to do more damage, but do so at your own risk!

In order to reach the 300/200 stat threshold, you will need to use Attribute Food. The best (and cheapest) Tier V attribute food you can get is Glazed Bear with Sauteed Vegetables for an extra +24 Intelligence and +16 Constitution. Pork Belly Rice may also be available for cheap on your server.

Weapon Skills
