Ravager PvE Build Guide
Last Updated:May 27, 2025|Changelog
Welcome to the Ravager PvE Build Guide! Ravager at first glance may seem like just another Bruiser archetype however, thanks to passive skills like Vital Force and Cold Warrior its damage output can be high, closer to a Melee Assassin.
Once fully built, Ravager can reach over 300 Skill Damage Boost and 800+ Heavy Attack Chance!
Combining the increased damage from a Greatsword's skills with the increased Critical Hit and Critical Damage from Dagger's skills, you have no problem keeping up in DPS alongside other weapons.

Gear Progression
If you plan on PvPing in the future, just use the PvP gear shown in our Ravager PvP Build Guide for PvE. Unless you're going for record clears, you can use the PvP gear to clear all content.
- There is no "Best Build", Talandre Gear allows for a wide variety of builds leading to different metas depending on your Server.
- Use the builds as a base, and swap different pieces around to gain the specific stats you desire.
Chaos Harbinger Set
- 4 Piece Chaos Harbinger Set gives 100 Critical Hit + 9% Crit Damage.
- Use Monster Bird of the Plains: Solar Stone and Monster Bird of the Plains: Lunar Stone to further increase Weapon Damage by up to 30!
T2 Early Transitional Buiild
- This build is used just as a transitional phase to get started with T2/Talandre.
- 2 Pieces of Death Set and Abyss Slayer Set ensure high damage output.
- Abyss Slayer Set items are from 2 Star Dungeons so no milestones needed to unlock.
T2 Full Build
- This build reaches high levels of Critical Hit so Abyss Slayer Set helps to further the Maximum Weapon Damage being used on those Crits!
- The Imperial Seeker Set allows the user to gain even higher Critical Damage!
- The tooltip is wrong, gain a base 15% Critical Damage with 1% extra per stack (up to 10 stacks)
Fresh Level 50 T2 Rare Gear
- Realistically, it's not worth wasting additional Lucent to for T1 Epic items past what's recommended.
- Use this gear as you continue with the Talandre Main Story Quest and unlock free T2 Epic Gear.
Post Talandre MSQ T2 Epic Gear
- This consists of all free gear obtained through the Talandre MSQ.
- Use this gear to work towards the recommended T2 PvE Builds.
Skill Builds, Rotations, and Mastery
Ravager revolves around rotating your buffs into your DPS skills. Daggers have higher Attack Speed and grant additional damage thanks to Merciless Form. Keep your daggers out for highest DPS possible.
Buff Phase
- Umbral Spirit
- DaVinci's Courage
- Inject Venom
Damage Phase
- Precision Dash
- Stunning Blow
- Cruel Smite
- Fatal Stigma
- Mad Sword Dance
- Frost Cleaving
- Mad Sword Dance
- Death Blow
- Guillotine Blade
- Brutal Incision
Tips
- Precision Dash grants increased Heavy Attack Chance and should not go through Bosses.
- Replace with Willbreaker if there's trouble with positioning.
- Having high Attack Speed allows you to get your damage off quicker because it lowers the time of the animations resulting in more skill activations per second.
- Use your buffs whenever they come back up to ensure the highest possible damage output on your damage skills.
- Be sure to have 20 stacks of Poison before using the second attack of Inject Venom to ensure highest possible damage.
- Against regular mobs, you can just use one or two buffs into a damage skill to kill.
Weapon Mastery Prioritization
Use this as a framework for the first 130 levels of Weapon Mastery. Ultimately, it's a preference thing, as some players opt for more Defensive Masteries as they're reaching higher levels, while others prefer more Offensive Masteries.
Greatsword
Daggers
Guardians
Guardians are special transformations that add offensive or defensive buffs or attacks to your character for 30 seconds.
- Wild Enchanter Dreadal is a perfect Guardian to use and increase not just your DPS but your entire party's DPS! There should always be a couple of these guardians in every party!
- Lady Knight Kamarshea - This guardian lowers your cooldown while also giving you a damage shield equal to 50% of your maximum Mana. This is a strong defensive guardian whenever you're struggling to survive.
- Shade Revenant Stheno - This guardian launches projectiles every second that can Crit and Heavy Attack! Since you're stacking so much Heavy Attack Chance, it's a clear decision to choose this Guardian!
Summary
- Ravager allows you to play like a Bruiser and/or a Melee Assassin in Throne and Liberty!
- Greatsword's skills allow you to stack very high amounts of Heavy Attack Chance, Hit, and Skill Damage Boost!
- Dagger's Passives allow you to have a high amount of Critical Hit.
- Daggers have higher Attack Speed and grant additional damage thanks to Merciless Form.
- You gain increased damage even when stacking HP thanks to Vital Force.
