Longbow + Dagger Large Scale PvP Build
- High AOE Damage
- Easy to Play
- Great Utility
- Squishy
- Requires Good Positioning
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.
Attributes
Focus on maximizing your damage potential by allocating most points into Dexterity and Perception, aiming for 60 in each stat as they offer much needed hit rate and critical hit rate. Do not forget your strength stat in order to make use of the extra health and damage reduction, 40 points being a good breakpoint to reach for PVP. Otherwise, Wisdom remains the least needed stat for this build but you can still aim for 30 points if you can afford it without giving up damage or HP.
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, 
Assassin's Instincts and 
Destructive Fang are your main damage increasing passives as they increase crit rate and crit damage while 
Distorted Sanctuary, 
Devoted Shield and 
Shadow Walker are fantastic defensive passives.

Longbow:
Allocate 9 points into Sniping for a substantial boost in damage and critical damage. Then, invest 6 points into Check to enhance the Bind Chance of 
Ensnaring Arrow, increasing your CC potential but also improving your cooldown speed.
Dagger:
Invest 9 points in Assassination for extra critical damage, off-hand weapon activation rate and attack speed. The remaining 6 points can be added into Poison for more flat damage and off-hand chance. Your silence chance also improves with this!
Rotations
- This is your main rotation for PVP pushes where you want to start off by buffing with
Inject Venom, making all your skills apply posion before you use Arrow Vortex to CC a group of enemies. Follow up with Flash Arrow for a quick burst while they are CC'd then 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.
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 a kill. There are many ways to use stealth though, so don't hesitate to experiment!
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.
Useful Information
- Choose Lady Knight Kamarshea as your guardian; it provides crucial protection with its shield, which can absorb damage equal to 50% of your mana. This not only helps mitigate damage but also speeds up your cooldowns, allowing you to use your abilities more often.
