Abyss / Musket PvP Build

Hope you enjoy this janky combo that I didn't even think would work. Musket great axe is fast, has big damage, area control, mobility and and some of the best lifesteal you can get.

I really enjoyed this one!

My stats are weird because my gear sucks! Ideally I would have nothing in STR. 100 DEX is also a great option that will keep your current great axe damage but boost Musket damage further, this requires dropping points from FOC or CON however. Always run at least 350 INT on this build or damage will notably suffer.

Crippling Reap or Mending Execute are amazing options for The Abyss.

That Musket is perfect (maybe change to Void Attunement). Accelerating Traps is my preference due to that huge speed boost.

Shirking heals is not needed for this build thanks to all the lifesteal, but I always recommend more healing power in PvP. Aversion / Vigor / Refreshing / Shirking Heals are my armor perks of choice. Crippling Reap and Criplling Powder Burn would be great here too!

Tumblers are a huge source of healing, so I recommend this for light armor.

The amulet would ideally have Thrust Protection with the two shirking perks. The ring is great, could swap Keen for Void Damage. The earing would be great with Regenerating instead of Refreshing!

As always use the best food you can find, honing stones, and health / mana / regeneration. Of course remember to use the desert sunrise drink to give you more DOT resistance!
