Wand / Longbow PvE Build Guide
Last Updated:March 17, 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.

Mid Game Wand / Longbow PvE Build
As you progress further into the game, you gather more blue gear with flat Stat buffs such as Dexterity and Wisdom to boost your raw damage. It's also more costly to trait due to the low supply in the early game. It's okay to still use green accessories. Slowly transition to Blue Gear as you play the game and acquire the necessary pieces.
Melee and Ranged Evasion are prioritized on your gear because most mobs use these attack types. These defenses help you survive in dungeons and during PvE Events.

- 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).

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