This build is up to date for the September 23, 2025 patch.
Overview
This Longbow and Dagger PvE build is perfect for players looking to deal high damage with short cooldowns. It performs exceptionally well in PvE events, Field Bosses, Dungeons and general Open World PvE. The build is very straightforward and easy to pickup by both beginners and veteran players due to its easy to memorize rotations.
Attributes
PRIMARY
Dexterity
+
Strength
SECONDARY
Wisdom
+
Perception
With the unique stats and attributes system in Throne and Liberty, it can be difficult to determine exactly where to invest your attribute points at each stage of the game. This is because gear pieces provide attributes just like leveling up does, meaning everyone will have a different number of attribute points depending on what gear they are wearing at the time.
Given this variation, it's best to reset your attributes regularly to adjust to the new gear you acquire. Aim to reach the achievement effects, which provide extra benefits at milestones like 30, 50, and 70 points.
In order to maximizing your damage potential, invest most points into Dexterity and Perception, aiming to push them first as they offer much needed hit rate and critical hit rate. You should also improve your Strength in order to improve your survivability, 30 is a good breakpoint to reach if it doesn't take too much. Meanwhile, Wisdom can be left as the lowest priority.
Skills
Depending on which Dungeon/Dimensional Trial you might run, consider using
Rare Roaring Steak,
Rare Thrilling Papillote, and even
Rare Scorpion Tail Fritters to make it easier and also deal a lot more damage.
Your main burst ranged damage is provided by 
Strafing, 
Zephyr's Nock and 
Decisive Sniping, these are the first skills you should level alongside 
Brutal Arrow. 
Nature's Blessing is your main utility skill that regenerates your mana and health but can also be used with 
Inner Peace by staff players in your party to quickly regain all mana.
Your melee skills shouldn't be forgotten though as 
Cleaving Moonlight and 
Brutal Incision have high damage, especially when attacking targets debuffed by your 
Inject Venom. 
Shadow Strike is your main mobility skill and is perfect for setting up your melee rotation while also allowing you to return to the initial spot.
Wrathful Edge, 
Assassin's Instincts and 
Destructive Fang are your main damage increasing passives as they increase crit rate and crit damage. Remember to remain standing to make use of 
Rapidfire Stance while 
Assassin's Step triggers whenever you use kill a target, helping a great deal with maintaining your mana reserves.
Devoted Shield is an incredible ability for PVE as it places a 6.5k shield on you whenever you go down to under 30% HP, making it very difficult to die even during mechanics.

Rotations
- This is your main Ranged DPS rotation and can be paired with the melee rotation below. Being by buffing yourself with the Inject Venom and Nature's Blessing to make your Decisive Sniping channel faster. Use
Ensnaring Arrow to apply the oppressed debuff and make use of 
Steady Aim before using Decisive Sniping to deal high damage while also increasing your critical hit rate.
- Continue by putting down Brutal Arrow on top of the boss/enemy you are fighting to start applying the Gale debuff. Follow up by applying
Deadly Marker which will increase critical rate for your entire party but also double the stacks of Target you apply with Strafing. Using Strafing two times will apply enough Target debuff to use Zephyr's Nock and lower its cooldown before using Strafing again to apply the debuff again so your next Zephyr's Nock gets its cooldown lowered once more.
- While this rotation isn't as powerful as the Ranged Rotation, you want to follow up with this rotation after you've done the ranged one and you need extra damage on the target. You can still use this rotation on its own as its still very potent at dealing with low HP mobs.
- Make sure that you have Inject Venom active first. Start by using Shadow Strike to get in melee range before following up with Cleaving Moonlight two times and using Brutal Incision to deal high damage. Use Shadow Strike again to teleport back to the original location from where you can transition back into your Ranged Rotation.
