Longbow / Staff PvE Build Guide

Stats and Gearing Logic

• Both weapons are chosen for the Species Damage Boost stat for maximum PvE damage.
• For some content, like Chapel of Madness Dimensional Trials, Arc of Lunar Radiance is better for the extra Range for the zombies' mech.
• This build tries to take maximum advantage of the 4-Pc Wing Gale Set set effect, being able to shoot from 25m away for the 40% Critical Hit Damage boost.
• Both builds feature incredibly high Attack Speed.
• With 528 Boss Heavy Attack from runes, you reach 1000+ Heavy Attack Chance for 50%+ proc rate.
• Accessories can be slotted with Max Mana trait instead of Debuff Duration to gain more Max Damage from Judge, but not necessary.
  • Your Mana Regen is supplemented with Mana Spring.

Gear Alternatives

• Stone Cold Heart Cloak is also slotted if you are lucky enough or wealthy enough to acquire it.

Bossing Dungeons

Bossing Solo

• Deadly Marker is used by your Longbow/Wand in the party, so slotting this skill is unnecessary. You might consider including it for solo purposes, but it's only when you have an entire party critically hitting that it becomes super valuable.
• Blitz can replace Nature's Blessing. You only use it for Hellfire Rain to double cast.
• This build has high Mana Regen requirements. Ensure you upkeep your Mana with the Mana Sustain Combo.
• The Bossing Dungeons build has more AoE in Chaining Bolt and Judgment Lightning Specializations.
• The Bossing Solo build has more single-target damage in the Strafing and Zephyr's Nock Specializations.

Global Cooldown Priority

The below skills are what you should prioritize using. The rest are filler skills.

• Healing Touch to proc Omniscience and Archer's Surge.
• High Focus
  • Always make sure to use this to give yourself the damage buff.
• Hellfire Rain
  • Lead with this skill in all fights to apply 10 Burn stacks on a boss with a large hitbox.
• Focused Fire Bombs
• Judgment Lightning
• Decisive Bombardment

Gale Combo (Bossing Solo Build)

Using 3x Strafing applies 12 Gale stacks. Consume the stacks with Zephyr's Nock.

• Strafing 3x
• Zephyr's Nock

Mana Sustain Combo

Nature's Blessing gives you a flat bonus to Mana Regen. Inner Peace multiplies your Mana Regen by a percentage. Because of how these two skills work, using Inner Peace right after significantly boosts your Mana Regen significantly, usually giving you full Mana by the end of the cast.

• Nature's Blessing
• Inner Peace
