The Rapier & Void Gauntlet

The Rapier stands out as the primary source of damage in PvE, showcasing formidable damage output through its potent bleeds. Equipping a diamond gem in the weapon enhances its bleed effectiveness. Due to its reliance on bleeds and limited utility, it's generally advisable to include only one Rapier wielder in a group. Nimble Leather Coat is preferred over Attuned Leather Pants for extra cooldown reduction and better perks. Prioritizing Enchanted Ward & Health enhances survivability.

The recommended skill rotation involves Tondo > Flurry > Tondo > Fnf, , repeating the sequence.

Flurry, a high-paced ability with grit, delivers a rapid barrage of attacks, sustaining against staggering effects and providing substantial life steal. FnF, the heart of damage, consumes bleeds at a 150% damage multiplier, delivering significant damage in a single hit. Keen Tondo is advisable only if stacking three bleeds is challenging.

Offhand options include Tether for additional empowerment and weaken utility, Orb of Decay for rends, slows, and AoE damage, Rupture for substantial team life steal, and Scream for valuable crowd control, self-fortify, and disease application when needed.

Highest Dps Option - blood rapier

Comparable Dps to Blood Rapier but can only run 1 blood rapier per team or its a dps loss so if you want a second rapier run this skill tree , evade + flurry spam

Used for pug healers who dont use oblivion.

Best skill tree

Incorporating the Ice Gauntlet complements the Rapier:

Ice Storm provides excellent AoE damage and slows enemies.

Ice Spike serves as a burst damage option, useful for maneuvering out of silence zones or recovering health.

Ice Pilon allows animation manipulation and serves as a decent damage skill, offering utility in holding platforms or diverting boss attacks. Caution is needed to avoid unintentionally pulling additional enemy groups.
