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.
Invest into Strength and Dexterity as your main stats throughout the game to maximize your damage potential and increase heavy attack chance and overall damage 
Vital Force. Don't neglect Dexterity thought as it is your secondary focus to improve your overall damage. Perception isn't a bad choice either as it also increases your damage but Wisdom remains the least important attribute for this build.
Skills
The most important melee damaging skills in your arsenal are 
Death Blow and 
Guillotine Blade. Meanwhile, your important ranged staff skills are Serial Fire Bombs and Judgment Lightning alongside 
Chain Lightning. Level them to purple as soon as possible in order to boost your damage.
High Focus is a great utility skill that increases your movement & cooldown speed, allowing you to remain on the move while using your skills even more often.
For passives, you should focus on upgrading 
Robust Constitution & 
Mana Amp for additional health, health regen and max mana. Vital Force matches well with Robust Constitution and considerably increases your damage. 
Indomitable Armor is a great defensive passive while 
Echoic Barrier helps with resisting silences while 
Forbidden Sanctuary offers a flat skill damage increase.

Rotations
Single Target Kill Rotation ↴
- This rotation serves as your primary kill rotation and it begins with
Devastating Smash to jump onto and stun your target. Follow up with 
Ascending Slash to Prone your target and then use 
Gaia Crash to deal quick damage while they are on the ground. Continue with 
Stunning Blow and Death Blow before finishing them off with Guillotine Blade.
AOE Burst Ranged Rotation ↴
- Use this rotation to deal AOE damage and help with chipping away at the enemy zerg by picking up kills. Start with a fully charged Serial Fire Bombs before continuing with a channel of Judgment Lightning followed by an instant cast before using Chain Lightning to finish off the target.
Ice Spear: Use this skill to CC groups of enemies pulled by your tanks or groups that are caught out of position.
DaVinci's Courage: You should aim to use this as often as possible to heal yourself and your group while also increasing the defensive stats of yourself and your party.
High Focus: Use this on cooldown or before pushes in order to boost your movement speed and cooldown speed, letting you weave in and out while using your skills more often.
Useful Information
- Choose Lady Knight Kamarshea as your guardian; it offers vital defense with its shield, capable of absorbing damage up to 50% of your mana. This not only assists in reducing incoming damage but also accelerates your cooldown rate, enabling more frequent use of your abilities.
