Longbow + Dagger Large Scale PvP Build
- High Burst Damage
- Easy to Play
- Long Range
- Squishy
Overview
This Longbow and Dagger build is perfect for players looking to deal high damage in large scale PvP while remaining always on the move. It shines in both sustained and burst DPS while also offering a good AoE option through the use of 
Brutal Arrow. The access to stealth through 
Camouflage Cloak offers great survivability and allows you to easily reposition in team fights or make surprise attacks.
Attributes
With the main goal being to increase your damage potential most points should be invested into Dexterity and Perception. Aim for level 30 in each. Going past 30 increases the cost far too much and it isn't worth it. Instead, put the 9 leftover points into Wisdom for a bit of extra mana and mana regeneration but you should stay away from items offering wisdom or strength.
Skills
Skill Priority
Zephyr's Nock, 
Ensnaring Arrow and 
Decisive Sniping are all part of your main rotation and the skills you will use the most when playing this build and that for should take priority when upgrading. 
Inject Venom upgraded to rare allows for the venom to stack to 20 which improves your damage a lot, especially if you can get multiple 
Strafing procs. 
Shadow Strike is your only mobility skill that can also be used for aggressive engages when used alongside 
Brutal Incision and should be the first skills to upgrade when you start earning rare books. 
Nature's Blessing is your last priority for upgrading but shouldn't be discarded as the mana regen is fantastic and also useful for party members that use the staff as it pairs nicely with 
Inner Peace.
Passives Priority
You want to start upgrading 
Steady Aim as soon as possible because of how well it pairs with Ensnaring Arrow and Decisive Sniping as you want to stack as much critical hit as possible to proc extra Decisive Sniping and reuse the ability up to 3 times. 
Assassin's Instincts and 
Sniper's Sense also greatly improve your critical hit and further aid with proccing Decisive Sniping. 
Distorted Sanctuary is a great defensive passive but shouldn't be a first priority.

Longbow:
Spend 9 points into Sniping for a great damage and critical damage increase then spend 3 points into Check to improve the Bind Chance of Ensnaring Arrow.
Dagger:
Invest 9 points in Assassination for extra critical damage, off-hand weapon activation rate and attack speed. The remaining 3 points can be added into Poison for more flat damage and off-hand chance.
Rotations
- This is your bread & butter rotation starting with Inject Venom to apply the poison debuff before using
Deadly Marker to increase your critical hit on the target while also lowering your cooldowns. You then use Ensnaring Arrow to root the target before using 
Blitz to restart the cooldown and follow up with Zephyr's Nock for extra damage against rooted targets. While the target is still rooted, you can freely cast Decisive Sniping followed by Strafing. If Decisive Sniping and Strafing critically hit, it will reset their cooldowns and allow you to transition into another Ensnaring Arrow followed by the same skill order.
- While pretty simple, this is your only AoE burst to use on targets that get pulled together either by Sword players using
Queen Bellandir's Blade quicksand or targets caught by an AoE 
Cursed Nightmare. Start by buffing yourself with Inject Venom as it will spread the venom to all targets hit. Follow up with Brutal Arrow on top of the group before resetting the cooldown using Blitz and using it again. Once done, you want to pick a target and transition straight into your single target rotation to clean up.
- This is your riskiest rotation but it delivers incredible damage and can absolutely obliterate a target. You start by buffing with Inject Venom before using Deadly Marker to increase your critical rate on the target before closing the distance with Shadow Strike that will root the target and boost Zephyr's Nock damage. You then use Blitz to reset the cooldown on Zephyr's Nock and then use Brutal Incision to deliver high damage. As your target gets out of the root, apply another one using Ensnaring Arrow and follow up with another Zephyr's Nock and a Brutal Arrow (make sure to align the center of the AoE with the target for maximum damage). Use Strafing as you kite away before going into Camouflage Cloak and resetting the fight, waiting for your cooldowns.
Camouflage Cloak: This ability serves as your escape plan. Activate it when you're being targeted or need to change your position. It can also help reset the fight and cooldowns after eliminating a target. There are various creative ways to utilize stealth, so feel free to experiment!
Useful Information
- Select Lady Knight Kamarshea as your guardian; it offers essential protection with its shield, capable of absorbing damage equal to 50% of your mana. This not only aids in mitigating damage but also accelerates your cooldown speed, allowing you to use your abilities more frequently.
