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.

For this build, your main stat should remain Wisdom however and you should aim to reach high Wisdom to boost your max mana and make use of the Noble RevivalActive frame.webpNoble Revival to increase your overall healing. Afterwards, you should prioritize Strength for extra max HP and defensive stats that will help you stay alive more. You should also aim to invest in dexterity and in perception for extra buff duration and resistances but both remain secondary stats when compared to Wisdom and Strength.

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.

  • While this is one of the simplest combos to execute, your positioning is the most important as you have to be rather close to the enemies to pull this off correctly.

Useful Information
