This build is up to date for the May 1, 2025 patch.
Overview
This Longbow and Dagger build is designed large Scale PvP and working as an AOE DPS capable of high burst AOE damage through the use of 
Flash Arrow and delivering quick CC in every fight with 
Arrow Vortex. The access to stealth through 
Camouflage Cloak offers great survivability and allows you to easily reposition in team fights or flank for a well executed Arrow Vortex. With it's straightforward playstyle, it's the perfect build for new players and veterans alike as any guild can value such a useful build.

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.
Focus on Dexterity and Perception to maximize your damage potential, aiming to hit breakpoints when possible. However, Strength also provides a much-needed HP boost that goes a long way in large scale PVP where survivability is very important so 30 points into strength are a great choice from a combination of gear and attributes. Wisdom isn't worth investing into though, as it provides only minor damage and mana regeneration.
Skills
Your main burst AOE damage comes from Flash Arrow, 
Decisive Sniping and 
Brutal Arrow, and these are the skills you should upgrade early for large scale PVP. Arrow Vortex is your main CC that allows your entire team to push through the enemy zerg and also allows you to land Flash Arrow easier. Keep in mind however that this skill is a Fury Attack and can be deflected by tanks.
Do not forget to also level your utility skills like Camouflage Cloak and 
Phantom Smokescreen as the stealth is fantastic for flanking while Phantom Smokescreen can deny a crossbow player coming in to use 
Merciless Barrage.
Wrathful Edge and 
Assassin's Instincts are your main damage increasing passives as they increase crit rate and crit damage while 
Devoted Shield and 
Shadow Walker are fantastic defensive passives. Your movement speed is then increased by getting kills and making use of 
Assassin's Step.
Rapidfire Stance is a very powerful passive to increase your hit chance but you don't have to upgrade it too early as it only improves attack speed when upgrading.

These are the first items you should strive for through the leveling period as they are very easy to get and upgrade or trait as needed. However, you shouldn't try to trait these items too much as you won't be spending too much time playing with this setup before you start changing pieces into the Midgame. The green accessories however are very easy to trait as you can craft many of them quickly in order to get the correct traits so you should consider traiting them until you change into purples. The same goes for the blue ring as you keep it for a long time.

This is the gear you should transition to once you're leveled to 50 and start grinding gear. It is comprised of gear you can get either from dungeons or by completing Litographs, they are relatively easy to trait up and you will spend most of the time wearing this set before advancing into the late game so traiting these items is very important and should be your main focus.

While runes can be applied to different types of gear, you should make sure that you invest into the gear pieces that you plan on using for a long time. However, if the build you are using uses the same items between Mid Game and End Game, you can invest into adding runes to them as early as you get the items.
This is the current endgame gear you should aim for, and while it isn't easy to acquire, it offers great power without the need of acquiring archboss gear pieces. However, items like 
Tevent's Fangs of Fury or other archboss weapons are superior but difficult to acquire for the majority of players. If you do manage to get the archboss weapons for your build, feel free to use them over the weapons shown here.

Weapon Masteries
Longbow

You should be aiming to reach and unlock masteries (the corner nodes) as soon as possible as they usually make the largest impact in the build. While minor nodes shouldn't be forgotten, make sure to unlock masteries as fast as possible before spreading out and spending into less important nodes.

Rotations
- Start up by using Arrow Vortex to CC a group of enemies directly in front and pop them into the air, CC-ing them all. Follow up with Flash Arrow to deal a high burst AOE directly in front, make sure however that you chage the skill as much as possible to maximize damage. Reset your cooldown with
Blitz.
- If you can find another stack of enemies, use Flash Arrow again and follow up with Brutal Arrow along with Decisive Sniping to clean up any remaining clumps of enemies.
- This rotation is meant to pin down and kill enemies quickly. Use
Ensnaring Arrow to bind your target and increase the damage you do to them before using 
Strafing and 
Zephyr's Nock to burst them down. Wait the short cooldown of Zephyr's Nock then use it again.
- You can also use Decisive Sniping before Strafing, however, it is better to use Decisive Sniping in a clump of enemies instead to rake up more kills.
Camouflage Cloak: This ability acts as your escape route. Trigger it when you're being targeted or require a change in position. It can also aid in resetting the fight and cooldowns after scoring kills. There are many ways to use stealth though, so don't hesitate to experiment. It can also be used to push through as you become immune to CC for 3 seconds when using it, allowing you to reposition through the battlefield.
Phantom Smokescreen: Use this skill to protect yourself from enemy damage and especially Merciless Barrage as they cannot hit you through this skill.
Ensnaring Arrow: This is the skill you should use followed up by Strafing and Zephyr's Nock in order to punish enemies that are out of position or otherwise trying to engage on your group.
Healing Touch: Use it to heal yourself between fights and to remain alive whenever your healer/s can't reach you or between regroups!
Useful Information
- Pale Nemesis Hartach is a good alternative for the guardian as it allows you to stealth and guarantee critical hits, essentially working as another Camouflage Cloak.
