Crucifix - Crossbow + Orb PvE Build
- High Burst Damage
- High Sustained Single Target DPS
- Good AOE
- High Skill Floor & Skill Ceiling
- Squishy
- Mana Intensive
Overview
The Crucifix is possible one of the highest APM classes in Throne and Liberty, being very intensive to play as it requires a lot of button presses, with short ability cooldowns that can challenge even veteran players that are looking to play something that takes a bit more effort than other classes.
Attributes
Dexterity
Perception
Strength
WisdomPrioritize Dexterity and Perception for maximum DPS, as they boost your damage the most. Add a bit of Wisdom for mana regeneration if needed, but keep damage as your main focus. Lastly, invest at least 30 points into Strength for a reliable health boost.
Skills
The Crucifix main power comes from its low cooldown abilities like the 
Quick Fire coupled with 
Summon Satellite and of course 
Stellar Dash while buffing damage with 
Distortion Veil to bring the damage to ridiculous levels, capable of bursting down targets in seconds.
As if made for eachother, the crossbow and orb passives sync very nicely 
Stellar Echo offering extra damage as you use more abilities, launching projectiles from both yourself and the orbs nearby. This damage is further boosted thanks to 
Rift Fracture as the Crucifix is more than capable of dealing a lot of Critical Hits in a short rotation. This is further boosted by the Crossbow passives like 
Eagle Vision and 
Ambidexterity.

Rotations
- Start by buffing yourself with Distortion Veil, Summon Satellite and
Mother Nature's Protest before using 
Selfless Diffusion.
- Begin the damaging rotation with
Mortal Mark followed by Quick Fire before using 
Starcalling to summon orbs. Keep spamming Starcalling until you have put down 3 orbs while using Quick Fire as it comes off cooldown. Once you have 3 orbs down, use Stellar Dash repeatedly with its low cooldown alongside Quick Fire as they come off cooldown.
- Use
Summon Constellation on top of the enemy/boss then use 
Void Slash. Carry on using Quick Fire and Stellar Dash as they come off cooldown alongside Void Slash while maintaining Mortal Mark up as much as possible alongside the Distortion Veil & Summon Satellite buffs up. Once Selfless Diffusion along with your other skills, use 
Temporal Leap to get them back and reset the rotation.
The rotation takes some time to get used to and relies on high APM to press all buttons quick enough as they come off cooldown, but it can also be freestyled quite a bit, be creative.
Useful Information
- Select Lady Knight Kamarshea as your guardian; it provides essential protection with its shield, capable of absorbing damage equal to 50% of your mana. This not only aids in mitigating damage but also increases your cooldown speed in order to let you heal more often. However, you can also use Shade Revenant Stheno or Geen Ranger Elowen if you are looking to deal extra damage or root enemies if you are in a party that has to burst down enemies quickly or lock down groups.
