Everything About Best Staff and Wand Build in Throne and Liberty

The Staff is a Magic damage ranged weapon in Throne and Liberty. The staff offers crowd control skills in PVE that are best for stunning enemies and removing a threat. Staff in Throne and Liberty depend on Mana and heavy attacks. This weapon can cause massive damage by effective rotation of your abilities. Along with the AoE damage, Staff also provide single-target damage based on your chosen skills. Staff create huge explosions and it is the best bet for you to level up and clear the objectives in the game.

In Throne and Liberty, skills are abilities you can use and change depending on your equipped weapons.  Unlike other MMORPGs, your weapon choices determine your skills and build.  You can swap weapons and gain a new set of skills that you learn throughout the leveling process.  Moreover, skills come in three forms: active, passive, and defensive.

Staff Pros	Staff Cons
Damage Overtime	Low DPS
Weather Buffs	Lacks Single Target
Easy to Play	Low Survivability
Long Range	Vulnerable at close range
AoE Damage	Long Cooldowns

Best Weapons Choice

The Main Hand weapon for this build is the Staff. Staff is the best weapon to pick if your playstyle revolves around Damage Over Time (DoT). It has a long range and you can deal massive damage to enemies hovering at long distances in combat. The Staff damage is based on the Weather conditions. The interactive nature allows the Staff to provide a significant damage increase. However, this weapon has a few drawbacks as well, as the Staff spells require time to cast and the cooldown takes much time. The staff has lower DPS for the ranged weapon.

The Off-hand Weapon for the Best Staff Build is the Wand. The wand is a ranged weapon that can also heal your party members in small bursts. Wand in Throne and Liberty is well-suited for solo and group PVE content. However, this weapon offers crowd control and deals massive damage. Like other weapons in Throne and Liberty, the wand also has a few drawbacks, including limited AOE damage and low DPS.

The other weapons that work well with the Staff are Sword and Shield. Sword and Shield provide you with excellent survivability and a very balanced playstyle in most scenarios. You can pair it with almost every other weapon available in Throne and Liberty to create unique builds that suit your playstyle. Sword and Shield combination can also be effective at crowd control and can create opportunities for setting up the field and dealing massive damage.

Weapon Mastery

The best weapon mastery tree for the Best Staff Build is Mana from Staff and Damage from Wand in Throne and Liberty.

Below are the best weapon mastery selections in Throne and Liberty using the best Staff and Wand Build.

• Staff- Use 9 points into Mana to gain Reverberation Shield and then move to Destroy to gain Strange Spacetime.
• Wand- Allocate 9 points on the Damage to gain Cooldown speed and then swap to Recovery for Buff Duration.

Weapon Mastery is a system that gives you experience for your weapon that is equipped proportional to the experience earned. Thus, at the start of the game, Weapon Mastery points are limited, but you will start earning more as your experience per kill and quest increase with level and zones. Your main hand weapon gains increased weapon mastery, while off-hand still gains some, just not as much.

Best Stat Points

The most important stat for the Best Staff build is Dexterity and then Wisdom.

Below is the best recommended Stat Point:

• 30 Strength: affects defense, maximum health, maximum damage, and minimum damage.
• 42 Dexterity: affects critical attack, evasion, and maximum damage.
• 31 Wisdom: affects maximum mana and mana regeneration, skill cooldown, and maximum damage.
• 26 Perception: effect accuracy of attacks, Crowd Control effects, enhancing time boost ability, maximum damage, and minimum damage.

In Throne and Liberty, stat points are earned while leveling and increasing your effectiveness.  When you spend a stat point, you increase the effectiveness of that related attribute. However, after a certain number of points, you reach diminishing returns, and two points are required to increase a stat rather than one. Moreover, once stats reach a certain level spent (30 or greater), you gain unique bonuses.

Guardian

Green Ranger Elowen is the best Guardian for a Staff and Wand build because it binds targets and increases damage to them. This is helpful to keep enemies at range and burst them down.

An Alternate to Green Ranger Elowen is Lady Knight Kamarshea because of the shield and cooldown reductions she provides. Lady Knight is a defensive shield that helps survivability.

Guardians act as a short-term ultimate or super ability with powerful effects and a long cooldown. Ideally, you want to select a Guardian that either enhances a strength or covers up a weakness.  You obtain Guardians after level 25 and completing Chapter 25. From that point, you can find how to obtain additional Guardians to enhance your Staff Build further. Moreover, these skills can only be used infrequently, as in 10 minutes, so save them for critical situations.
