Longbow / Dagger PvP Build Guide

Alternatives

• Nature's Blessing

Normally it's best to target players the rest of your party is targeting for more coordinated fights. If Greatsword users are trying to chase you, feel free to target them down from a distance before they can close the gap.

Single Target Ranged Lockdown

Single Target Melee Combo

Tips

• Decisive Bombardment should be used any chance you get.
  • Try to line up multiple targets with one Snipe.
• Weave in Flash Wave whenever there's a chance to do so.
  • Try to line up multiple targets.
• Use Camouflage Cloak defensively if you have to, as a way to break Binds and get to safety.

Build Options

1. The Evasion build lets you hit up to 2200 Ranged Evasion and 1400 Magic Evasion with Shadow Walker.
   • While you can reach 1400+ Melee Evasion with Blue/Green gear, you don't have Staff's Victorious Energy to boost it even further. Against 800 Hit Melee users, you only evade 37% of their attacks. Overtaker also boosts Evasion on successful Fury Attack blocks. So, the logic here is to focus only on Ranged and Magic Evasion.
2. The Endurance build leverages all 3 Endurances, and you reach 1000+ Ranged and Magic Endurances as well as 850 Melee Endurance with Distorted Sanctuary.
   • Replace Shadow Walker with Distorted Sanctuary if you are running the Endurance build.

After more Milestones unlock, you start farming Open World Dungeons (Abyss Dungeons) for gear. Two options are presented here.

1. Full Ranged and Magic Evasion
   • Shadow Walker allows you to get up to 1650+ Ranged Evasion and 2000+ Magic Evasion.
2. Triple Endurance
   • In a full party, Distorted Sanctuary boosts all Endurances by up to 360. You reach around 700 Melee Endurance, 920 Ranged Endurance, and 1080 Magic Endurance.
   • Replace Shadow Walker with Distorted Sanctuary if you are running the Endurance build.

Alternative

• Reaper's Concealing Shroud (Butcher's Canyon)
• Miracle of Mother Nature Clothing, Ghost Wolf Alter Ego Armor, and Reaper's Concealing Shroud are all solid chest pieces. Ultimately it comes down to if you want an extra 5% Heavy Attack Chance (25% total vs 20%), Magic Evasion, or Ranged Evasion in the build.
  • If the server you're on is littered with Ranged or Magic users, then use the chest piece that gives more of that specific Evasion.
  • If you aren't being targeted or hit by many of the Ranged/Magic users, then just use Miracle of Mother Nature Clothing for the added Heavy Attack Chance.

Your End Game build centers around Reaper's Interring Pants and focuses on hitting that 60 Perception breakpoint and 50 Strength breakpoint.

• Full Ranged and Magic Evasion
  • Shadow Walker allows you to get up to 2000+ Ranged Evasion and 2100+ Magic Evasion.
• Triple Endurance
  • With Distorted Sanctuary, you reach around 1000+ for all three Endurances.

Weapon Options

• Using Grand Aelon's Hallowed Bow grants increased Hit by sacrificing some Critical Hit.
  • Both Grand Aelon's Hallowed Bow and Karnix's Hell Bow can be used interchangeably with these builds.

Chest Options

• Miracle of Mother Nature Clothing, Ghost Wolf Alter Ego Armor, and Reaper's Concealing Shroud are all solid chest pieces. Ultimately it comes down to if you want an extra 5% Heavy Attack Chance (25% total vs 20%), Magic Evasion, or Ranged Evasion in the build.
  • If the server you're on is littered with Ranged or Magic users, then use the chest piece that gives more of that specific Evasion.
  • If you aren't being targeted or hit by many of the Ranged/Magic users, then just use Miracle of Mother Nature Clothing for the added Heavy Attack Chance.

Glove Options

• Special Resistance Hawk Gloves for more Magic Evasion and Hit.
• Ghost Wolf Incision Gloves for more Ranged Evasion.
• Blessings of Mother Nature Cloth Gloves for more Range.
• Flying Dragon Scale Gloves for more Range.

Reaper's Mask

• This is an inferior version, but if Reaper's Black Mask is the only Reaper's item you can get, then you can use this build.

• The Evasion build requires no use of the Auction House or Guild Bosses. It will require you to use Substance Transformation for accessories though. Everything here can be found or crafted yourself.
• The Endurance build requires no use of the Auction House, Guild Bosses, or Substance Transformation.
