Wand / Staff PvE Build Guide

Last Updated:December 12, 2024|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, and Inferno Wave 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.

Skill Builds

Early Game
Solo AoE Farming
Late Game
  • This build is for Early Game PvE content as a healer when majority of players are gearing up and aren't as strong or tanky as they will be with End Game gear.
  • Use this skill build while solo farming Resistance Contracts and Open World Dungeons.
  • In Throne and Liberty, every healer is expected to DPS mobs and bosses, including inside Co-Op Dungeons to help reduce your clear time. If your party requires additional damage mitigation or healing replace some DPS abilities in this skill build. This especially helps if your party is new to the game and as more challenging Co-Op Dungeons are introduced. Use this skill build for Co-Op Dungeons and when you're required to heal for Field and Guild Bosses.

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.
  • Prioritize getting all these skills to blue first before getting them to purple. These are universal skills you always use.
  • Upgrade the rest of your skills as you play the game.

PvE Gameplay and Skill Rotation

Support
AoE
Single Target

The healing abilities listed below are to be used in any content that requires you to heal allies or yourself.

AoE Heals

  1. Clay's Salvation
  2. Fountain of Life
  • These are your AoE healing abilities commonly used in PvE. Use your AoE heals after multiple party members receive damage that require your support.
  • Swift Healing is used as your main heal until this happens.

Single-Target Heals

  1. Swift Healing
  • This is your main heal that has a low cooldown and can be casted up to three times with Consecutive Use.

Damage Mitigation

  1. Blessed Barrier
  2. Invincible Wall
  • These skills help your party tank strong hitting mechanics.
  • Blessed Barrier and Invincible Wall can be changed into AoE abilities with Expand Targets and Expand Targets.

Long AoE Rotation

  1. Group mobs
  2. High Focus
  3. Always prioritize Chaotic Shield if there are Fury attacks
  4. Time for Punishment
  5. Touch of Despair
  6. Serial Fire Bombs
  7. Inferno Wave
  8. Chain Lightning
  9. Decaying Touch
  10. Touch of Despair (likely third stack because of Curse)
  11. Curse Explosion
  12. Judgment Lightning
  13. Chain Lightning
  • Wand / Staff AoE farming is high spam and you need to understand how to maximize your ability rotations to achieve the best damage.
  • This is the long combo. Weave in DPS skills as you wait for your Karmic Haze cooldown.

Short AoE Rotation

  1. Group mobs
  2. High Focus
  3. Time for Punishment
  4. Touch of Despair
  5. Serial Fire Bombs
  6. Inferno Wave
  7. Decaying Touch
  8. Touch of Despair (likely third stack because of Curse)
  9. Curse Explosion
  • This combo is used to quickly kill normal mobs that are a lot squishier. You will frequently use this rotation while completing your resistance contracts.

Tips

  • Always group mobs and use Chaotic Shield to block Fury attacks and easily spread Touch of Despair. If done correctly, you can skip building 3 stacks of ToD and go right into the final part of the Curse Explosion combo.
  • Always spread Time for Punishment with Karmic Haze before exploding.

  2. High Focus
  3. Touch of Despair

  • This combo unloads all your DPS abilities in an order that maximizes your damage output. The DoT stacks remain if using Curse Explosion with Dark Explosion, so make sure you practice balancing your skill use effectively.

Short Single-Target Rotation

  1. High Focus
  2. Time for Punishment
  3. Serial Fire Bombs
  4. Inferno Wave
  5. Chain Thunder
  6. Judgment Lightning
  • This combo is focused on killing squishier mobs with more instant cast abilities so you spend less time charging up abilities.

Gear Progression

These are the recommended gear sets if you want to focus purely on PvE as a healer. The gear below focuses on maximizing your Cooldown Speed and increasing your Minimum and Maximum Damage by stacking main Stat points (Strength, Dexterity, Wisdom, Perception).

If you're interested in PvP Gear Progression, check out our Wand / Staff PvP Build Guide here! You do not need PvP gear for PvE T1 content.

  • With 2-Star Dungeons being introduced, there are new BiS builds because of more accessible armor pieces and accessory pieces.
  • The main difference is the higher Base Damage which increases your overall damage and healing output.
  • There are new Collision Resistance builds with the new dungeons as well.
  • The next time these builds will be revamped entirely will be when T2 Epic gear comes out. This could possibly happen in January.
  • You do not have to trait your blue PvE gear before transferring into your purple endgame gear.

Wand / Staff 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.

The goal for your Mid Game build is to reach over 45% Critical Hit for your heals and damage. With this build, you also have high Cooldown Speed. You don't require much Hit to land your abilities on mobs and bosses. If you require more Health, remove 20 points from Dexterity and place them into Strength.

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 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 mechs that deal a significant amount of damage. Not many other situations arise where this is necessary.

Summary

  • Wand / Staff healer is a great choice for dungeons as they can provide great heals and dish out strong DPS simultaneously.
  • Slot Salvation Chain if you have a party member struggling with dodging boss mechanics in Co-Op Dungeons.
  • Wand / Staff has some of the best AoE damage output that no other healer can compare to.
  • If you enjoy traditional mage builds but also want to heal and support allies, this build incorporates all the fun aspects of a damage dealer and support-type class.
  • Wand / Staff is the most versatile PvE build in the game. It can also be played as a full Damage Dealer whenever you want.
  • Play Wand / Staff healer if you enjoy pure magic-based builds that can deal lots of damage, while healing allies with ease.
