The Best Fire Staff Build in New World

The best Fire Staff builds in New World make use of its incredible AoE damage capabilities. The Fire Staff is a mana-using weapon that focuses on area-of-effect damage and dealing damage over time. The Fire Staff excels in dealing with large groups of enemies in PvP situations, particularly in Wars where frontline enemies can be grouped together. Additionally, the Fire Staff is one of the best weapons in New World for anyone looking to create a DPS build.

The Fire Staff has two Mastery Trees to choose from in New World. The Fire Mage Tree primarily focuses on the ranged area-of-effect attacks, keeping some distance between the user and opponents. The Pyromancer Tree offers more direct control over the fiery attacks, as most of the abilities give players control over which areas and targets are going to be burned.

The Fire Staff is an easy weapon to acquire through crafting, but it can also be obtained through Twitch drops. Players can claim New World Twitch drops until Oct. 11 from any stream that has the drop claim active. As with other weapons in New World, the more a player uses the Fire Staff, the more active and passive abilities they can unlock for it.

New World: The Best Fire Staff Build

These are the abilities of the Fire Staff in New World:

• Pillar fo Fire (Fire Mage): A pillar of fire forms at the target, dealing huge damage to the focus target.
• Meteor Shower (Fire Mage): Meteors (32) descend on the target. Each meteor deals 20% of the staff’s damage.
• Fireball (Fire Mage): A fireball flies to the target, dealing massive damage, and leaves behind scorched earth that deals bonus damage to those standing within its flames.
• Incinerate (Pyromancer): Knocks back enemies and sets enemies on fire for six seconds.
• Flamethrower (Pyromancer): A jetstream of fire unleashes at the end of the Fire Staff, adding stacks of Burn to the target, capping at 10 stacks.
• Burnout (Pyromancer): Dash forward and leave a trail of fire behind.

The best Fire Staff build in New World makes use of both the Fire Mage and Pyromancer Trees, utilizing Pillar of Fire, Fireball, and Burnout. This combination of abilities in particular is one of the best PvP builds in New World as well.

Pillar of Fire and Fireball both deal massive damage to a single target while impacting others around the target. This is particularly beneficial for dealing with crowds of enemies, as it allows the Fire Staff wielder to focus on a single target while prepping the others for massive damage. Burnout allows players to pass through enemies and apply the Burn effect, giving Fire Staff users some extra mobility. When paired with the Ice Gauntlet’s Wind Chill, Ice Pylon, and Entombed abilities, players can both slow and burn enemies at the same time – creating an efficient crowd control and DPS build in New World.

New World is available on PC.
