Wand / Longbow PvE Build Guide
Last Updated:May 3, 2025|Changelog
Welcome to the Wand / Longbow PvE build guide! With the new Mastery system, Wand / Longbow has gained incredible amounts of damage to blow away monsters in PvE. This weapon combination has great buffs and utility abilities for group PvE and solo play such as, Archer's Surge, Valorous Barrier, Deadly Marker, and Time for Punishment.
By taking advantage of strong support skills such as Nature's Blessing, Flash Wave, Healing Touch, Invincible Wall, Blessed Barrier, and Fountain of Life, you provide your party with Mana sustain, ample healing, and the ability to sustain large amounts of damage in any PvE content. Longbow also has the only CC cleanse ability called Purifying Touch. With this ability, you are able to uniquely help your party get past certain Co-Op Dungeon mechanics that would be more challenging for parties without a Longbow.

Stats and Gearing Logic
- This build uses the World Tree Set to maximize your Cooldown Speed. It also focuses on maximizing Buff Duration as well.
- Seekers heal for way too much so there is no reason to further increase your healing in PvE. The focus instead is on maximizing your Cooldown Speed and Buff Duration to spam your abilities quicker during combat and ensuring you always have a heal to provide your allies.
- You're able to keep Deadly Marker on the boss permanently in this build.

- You will notice in-game that some Longbow and Wand Mastery skills are forcibly activated and do not help us support in PvP. We have no choice but to take them due to how the system works, but they have no negative impact on our gameplay. Ignore them.
- You're limited to two Mastery skills per circle. To guarantee the two you want, make sure they are activated first before the third skill that shares the same circle.
- Use this Wand / Longbow PVE skill build while solo farming Resistance Contracts and Open World Dungeons.
- Maintain 3 stacks of Healing Touch on yourself to increase your Base Damage with Archer's Surge and sustain any incoming damage.
- Build 3 Curse stacks on a monster using Touch of Despair while also standing still to activate your Mastery skill Deadly Viper (increases your Curse Explosion damage).
- Once 3 Curse stacks are built, use:
- Corrupted Magic Circle
- Time for Punishment
- Cursed Nightmare

- Curse Explosion
- Once 3 Curse stacks are built, use:

Skill Prioritization
- Use Quality Marind Ore to craft Quality Passive Skill Growth Book and Quality Active Skill Growth Book
- Use Rare Marind Ore to craft Rare Passive Skill Growth Book and Rare Active Skill Growth Book.
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 this class.
- Shade Revenant Stheno is the one and most viable DPS Guardian in PvE because it deals the most damage.
- Lady Knight Kamarshea is a useful Guardian while you learn new dungeons. It helps in situations as an emergency button to survive mechanics that deal a significant amount of damage. Not many other situations arise where this is necessary.
Summary
- Wand / Longbow healer is a great choice for dungeons with boss mechanics that can be countered with Purifying Touch, while also providing your party Cooldown Reduction, Hit and Critical Hit chance with Deadly Marker, as well as great Mana sustain with Nature's Blessing.
- Although not normally required, you have the option of resetting heals using Blitz to allow for additional healing if needed.
- Play a Wand / Longbow healer build in PvE if you enjoy using a longbow and want to be a reliable support for your friends and allies in Co-Op Dungeons and open world PvE content.
