Overview

Wand and Staff PvE build which provides excellent healing capabilities with decent damage dealing compared to other healing classes. The main hand weapon is the Wand however and so the build remains mainly a healer, but it is complemented by the Staff in the off-hand for extra damage.

This build is also available as a DPS alternative:

Perception 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.

For this build your main stat will be Wisdom 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 Dexterity for damage purposes. Strength provides extra max HP and defensive stats that will help you stay alive more, especially in difficult PvE content. Perception offers a bit of extra stats but isn't as important as the rest.

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.

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.
  • When you have your end game gear maxed out you should be able to reach 50 Wisdom, 40 Dexterity, 33 Strength and 30 Perception.
