Best Weapons Choice

The Main Hand weapon for this PvP Build is the Longbow. Longbow allows you to stay stationary at the maximum range for optimal damage due to passives in Throne and Liberty. Longbow stands out due to its dynamic range combat. A longbow is a kind of unique weapon that is easy to use, deals massive damage, and provides high versatility. However, this weapon lacks mobility and is not useful at close range. This weapon is specially built for long-range combat in the PvP version of the game.

The Off-hand Weapon for the PvP Longbow build is a Staff. The Staff is a Magic damage ranged weapon in Throne and Liberty. The staff offers crowd control skills in PvP 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. However, this weapon has limited AOE damage and low DPS.

The other weapons that work well with the Longbow 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.

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 PvP Longbow and Staff Build is Perception and then Strength.

Below is the best recommended Stat Point:

• 55 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

The best Guardian for the Best PvP Longbow and Staff Build is Lady Knight Kamarshea because of the Eternal Barrier skill that creates a 50% max mana shield and speeds up your cooldowns. If you have enough survivability, look to Masked Warlock Dantalux and the skill Abyssal Sanctuary for increased burst damage.

The best Guardian for the Best PvP Longbow and Staff Build is the following:

• Masked Warlock Dantalux (Abyssal Sanctuary) – an offensive ability that increases bonus damage when consuming mana to use a skill.
• Eternal Barrier (Lady Knight Kamarshea) – 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 Longbow Build further. Moreover, these skills can only be used infrequently, as in 10 minutes, so save them for critical situations.
