Best Rapier Builds in New World
For players looking to use their DPS rapier to the best of their ability in New World, there are a couple of builds they should consider. As an extremely versatile weapon choice, there are several ways to play with the rapier. However, there are a few exceptional combinations.
The Rapier & Ice Gauntlet Build
The rapier and ice gauntlet combination makes for a nearly unstoppable DPS player. While the rapier is more Dexterity-based than Intelligence, the fact that it is boosted by both makes using these two weapons together well worth the effort.
