Infiltrator - Longbow + Dagger PvE Build for Throne and Liberty - Metabattle (2024)

Overview

This Longbow and Dagger PvE build is perfect for players looking to deal high damage with short cooldowns. It performs exceptionally well in PvE events, Field Bosses, Dungeons and general Open World PvE. The build is very straightforward and easy to pickup by both beginners and veteran players due to its easy to memorize rotations.

Attributes

In order to maximizing your damage potential, invest most points into Dexterity and Perception, aiming to push them first as they offer much needed hit rate and critical hit rate. You should also improve your Strength in order to improve your survivability, 30 is a good breakpoint to reach if it doesn't take too much. Meanwhile, Wisdom can be left as the lowest priority.

Skills

Your main burst ranged damage is provided by Strafing, Zephyr's Nock and Decisive Sniping, these are the first skills you should level alongside Brutal Arrow. Nature's Blessing is your main utility skill that regenerates your mana and health but can also be used with Inner Peace by staff players in your party to quickly regain all mana.

Your melee skills shouldn't be forgotten though as Cleaving Moonlight and Brutal Incision have high damage, especially when attacking targets debuffed by your Inject Venom. Shadow Strike is your main mobility skill and is perfect for setting up your melee rotation while also allowing you to return to the initial spot.

Wrathful Edge, Assassin's Instincts and Destructive Fang are your main damage increasing passives as they increase crit rate and crit damage. Remember to remain standing to make use of Rapidfire Stance while Shadow Walker triggers whenever you use Block Blade or Shadow Strike.

Longbow:Allocate 9 points into Sniping to significantly increase your damage and critical damage. Then, invest 6 points into Check for more cooldown speed and to enhance the Bind Chance of your Ensnaring Arrow skill. Useful for smaller mobs but also debuffing bosses by applying the Oppressed debuff.

Dagger:Invest 9 points in Assassination for extra crit damage, off-hand weapon activation rate and attack speed. The remaining 6 points can be added into Poison for more base damage and off-hand & silence chance.

Rotations

• This is your main Ranged DPS rotation and can be paired with the melee rotation below. Being by buffing yourself with the Inject Venom then using Ensnaring Arrow to apply the oppressed debuff and make use of Steady Aim before using Decisive Sniping to deal high damage while also increasing your critical hit rate.

• Continue by putting down Brutal Arrow on top of the boss/enemy you are fighting to start applying the Gale debuff. Follow up by applying Deadly Marker which will increase critical rate for your entire party but also double the stacks of Target you apply with Strafing. Finish up the rotation with a damage boosted Zephyr's Nock and transition into the melee rotation.

• While this rotation isn't as powerful as the Ranged Rotation, you want to follow up with this rotation after you've done the ranged one and you need extra damage on the target. You can still use this rotation on its own as its still very potent at dealing with low HP mobs.

• Make sure that you have Inject Venom active first. Start by using Shadow Strike to get in melee range before following up with Cleaving Moonlight two times and using Brutal Incision to deal high damage. Use Shadow Strike again to teleport back to the original location from where you can transition back into your Ranged Rotation.

Useful Information

• Choose Lady Knight Kamarshea as your guardian; it provides vital protection with its shield, capable of absorbing damage equal to 50% of your mana. This not only helps reduce incoming damage but also speeds up your cooldowns, enabling you to use your abilities more frequently.
