Turns out locking people down with Ice Gauntlet then smacking the **** out of them with a Greatsword works pretty well..

Ideally this build would be 350 STR, 200 DEX and 150 CON. I only have 100 INT because of some gear limitations! You can always take some points out of DEX if you want to run more CON as well.

Crescent’s wave has a gem slot added to it with an empowering sapphire as the gem. This is great for all around damage with the weapon, if you want to focus on wave damage go for an opal instead!

The Ice Gauntlet only really needs to have Healing Tomb on it, ideally you would also have CON as the attribute not INT like I do.

My gear is simple, Refreshing + Shirking Heals. For the third perk I have Vital Synergy, Hasted Vigor, and Shirking energy. The Old Crown allows you to hit the max stats I have here, attuned leather pants are a great replacement if you don’t have the crown! The Cowl Of Power would be a great option too..

I got that expensive Empowered Runeglass on, it costs a lot but is well worth it for the Greatsword! You can always do a different elemental split here if you don’t want to spend all the money (like Ice or Nature).

The jewelry is perfect, with the secret healing tech from Endless Thirst being fantastic for keeping this build topped up on health as long as your switching between two different healing potions.

Use the best food you can find, Desert Sunrise, and Honing Stones. The two potions of choice for this build are the Regeneration and Burst Regeneration potions since they give the most healing value.
