This is currently the highest DPS setup in the game because both of your weapons have extremely high damage. If you use the Build right, then you will constantly reach 20 stacks of Thunderclouds, which will give you explosive damage with your Thundercloud Bombing skill. You can activate this after a few seconds.

The Crossbow and the Dagger are both dual-wielded. They will give you a chance to get a double hit with their offhand. You can even increase the chance of this by using Selfless Diffusion, which will increase your damage from 200% to 400%. If you are looking for the best meta DPS Build, then this is the one for you. It is excellent for fast boss fights as well.

Due to the high cooldowns in this Build, you need plenty of cooldown speed for this playstyle to work. If you follow the instructions correctly, you will become unstoppable.

The Staff offers crowd control skills in PvE that are best for stunning enemies and removing threats. This weapon can cause massive damage if you rotate your abilities effectively. The Dagger in Throne and Liberty is a melee weapon that provides high burst damage, making it the perfect choice for players looking to create an assassin-like character in the game. It also offers close-range burst potential and mobility due to being a melee weapon.

In this setup, the Longbow provides high single-target DPS at range while the Dagger provides amazing passives. This Build has a good self-sustain in Throne and Liberty, but you are reliant on cooldown speed. You will want to create your Build around reducing as much waiting time as possible.

But, Daggers are fragile, and you will not have very high defensive abilities with this Build.

The Longbow and Crossbow players occupy the top spots on the leaderboard because of their high bonus damage stacking. The two weapons have the ability to throw out a massive number of hits.

Therefore, it allows the player to consecutively use their strongest damage skills up to three times.
