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.

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.

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 co-op dungeons or by completing your Litograph book, 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 important and should be your main focus.

Rune Information Attack runeDefense runeSupport rune
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 Swirling Essence RobeSwirling Essence Robe or other archboss drops are superior but difficult to acquire for the majority of players. If you do manage to get the archboss gear for your build, feel free to use them over the gear shown here.

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.
