Wand / Dagger PvE Build Guide

Last Updated:May 25, 2025|Changelog

Welcome to the Darkblighter PvE Build Guide! The Darkblighter weapon combination is primarily a support build that revolves around mixing ranged and melee playstyles to ensure you can be anywhere on the battlefield.

Unlike a more traditional Support or DPS build, you need to keep a close watch on both allies and enemies alike to make the best use of your Curse Explosion, Cursed Nightmare, Blessed Barrier, and Swift Healing abilities. Knowing when and where to use these skills for maximum value makes all the difference between a good support and a great one.

Stats and Gearing Logic

  • The idea behind the gear is taking advantage of massive curse damage thanks to the Wand Masteries in combination with the 2Pc-Elder Set.
  • The other set, 2-Pc - Imperial Tracker Set, is used in tandem to scale your damage even further.
    • Keep in mind your Curse Damage will increase directly proportional to your Crit Damage assuming you land a crit.
  • This build also features over 1k Heavy Attack Chance, high Attack Speed, Critical Hit, and Critical Damage, and still enough Defenses to survive tough mechanics.

Gear Alternatives

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

Darkblighter Healer Setup

Opening Rotation

  1. Inject Venom
  2. Enchanting Time
  3. Valorous Barrier
  4. Umbral Spirit
  5. Touch of Despair
  6. Cleaving Moonlight
  7. Fountain of Life
  8. Swift Healing x3
  9. Touch of Despair
  10. Decaying Touch
  11. Witching Hour
  12. Curse Explosion
  13. Brutal Incision
  • This is your opener in boss fights. Focus on using Touch of Despair off CD as much as possible.
  • If you need to conserve mana, you can cycle between Cleaving Moonlight, Touch of Despair, and Brutal Incision to deal steady damage.

Healing

  • Blessed Barrier
  • Fountain of Life
  • Clay's Salvation
  • Swift Healing
  • Chaotic Shield
  • Vampiric Contract
  • You may not have all these skills equipped depending on your party role. However, use the order of skills to help you determine how much healing you can provide. This ensures you use the right ability for the right situation to manage resources.
  • When someone is at death's door, use this skillset from top to bottom (except for Vampiric Contract as it's a passive) to fully heal anyone in the game. Lastly, with tools like Fountain of Life and Clay's Salvation you are also more than capable of healing your entire party as well.

Darkblighter AOE / Caster Setup (requires Disciple's Rage)

Darkblighter Dagger Focused Setup

Darkblighter AOE / Caster Rotation

  1. Inject Venom
  2. Enchanting Time
  3. Valorous Barrier
  4. Cleaving Moonlight
  5. Touch of Despair
  6. Clay's Salvation
  7. Fountain of Life
  8. Swift Healing x3
  9. Touch of Despair
  10. Corrupted Magic Circle
  11. Curse Explosion
  • The main goal of this DPS rotation is to spread as many of your Curses over as many targets as possible. During downtime, spam Cleaving Moonlight and Touch of Despair to upkeep steady damage while waiting for Curse Explosion.

Darkblighter Dagger Focused Rotation

  1. Lightning Infusion
  2. Enchanting Time
  3. Valorous Barrier
  4. Thunder Spirit
  5. Touch of Despair
  6. Cleaving Moonlight
  7. Mad Sword Dance
  8. Lightning Throw
  9. Mad Sword Dance
  10. Touch of Despair
  11. Corrupted Magic Circle
  12. Curse Explosion
  • The main goal of this DPS rotation is to spread as many of your Curses over as many targets as possible. Keeping enemies as close together as possible helps to ensure maximum DPS from your Dagger Thunderclouds damage.
  1. Enchanting Time
  2. Inject Venom
  3. Fighting Spirit Barrier
  4. Umbral Spirit
  5. Touch of Despair
  6. Cleaving Moonlight x1
  7. Fatal Stigma
  8. Brutal Incision
  9. Decaying Touch
  10. Touch of Despair
  11. Unlucky Clock
  12. Curse Explosion
  • This is your opener in boss fights. Focus on using Touch of Despair off CD as much as possible.
  • In order to use this rotation effectively you need a LOT of mana regen. When low on mana, cycle between Touch of Despair, Cleaving Moonlight, Brutal Incision, and Curse Explosion while you regen.
  • Enchanting Time you can keep up almost 100% of the time thanks to your Buff Duration. Be sure this and Fighting Spirit Barrier are up before you cast your final set of Touch of Despair into Decaying Touch into Curse Explosion. Keep in mind your Curse damage is snapshot at the time of cast. Using either Enchanting Time or Fighting Spirit Barrier after casting Curses does almost nothing for your damage.

Mastery Prioritization

Guardians

Guardians are special transformations that add offensive or defensive buffs or attacks to your character for 30 seconds. These are the recommended Guardians for the Wand / Dagger PvE Build.

You can choose between Lady Knight Kamarshea, Shade Revenant Stheno, Soundless Mage Taliesia or Masked Warlock Dantalux.

  • Lady Knight Kamarshea gives you a shield based on your mana and lowers your cooldowns. This increases your DPS as a mage and allows you to heal more often, making it a solid choice.
  • If you find you and your party members are having Mana issues, take Masked Warlock Dantalux instead for the Mana sustain.
  • Soundless Mage Taliesia is a great option to provide a burst of extra Healing to all party members in range.
  • Wild Enchanter Dreadal is a fantastic damage increase when timed with your party memebers to best make use of the Attack Power and Cooldown Speed increase.
  • If you want to squeeze out as much DPS as possible use Shade Revenant Stheno.

Summary

  • Darkblighter is a Support build that mixes melee and ranged play-styles.
  • Combine a mixture of survivability and damage with skills such as Thunderclouds Bombing and Swift Healing to both deal damage and keep people alive.
  • Play next to your tank so it's easier to keep him alive/keep his stamina bar full.
  • Focus on durability, Dexterity, and Strength for your gear with traits that increase Health, Evasion, Damage, Buff Duration, and Mana Regen.
  • This build needs Mana Regen to perform well, and best-in-slot gear is gated behind Arch Bosses so it can take a long time to acquire.
