Wand / Staff PvE Build Guide
Last Updated:April 1, 2025|Changelog
Welcome to the Wand / Staff PvE build guide! This is the most versatile healer in Throne and Liberty since it can be played as a healer with strong DPS abilities. Compared to Wand / Dagger, Wand / SnS, and Wand / Longbow, this healing weapon combination has stronger and more spammable AoE abilities making it the preferred option when farming in the open world.
You have powerful AoE abilities like Judgment Lightning, Chain Thunder, Hellfire Rain, and Focused Fire Bombs that allow you to kill big mobs packs quickly.
By taking advantage of unique Staff skills such as High Focus, Inner Peace, and Asceticism, you are able to spam heals, damage, and support abilities with lower cooldowns without worrying about depleting your Mana.
