Lunarch - Orb + Dagger Large Scale PvP Build
- Good AOE Burst Damage
- Good Support
- Mana Hungry
- Requires setup
- Weak Solo
Overview
This is a great build for dealing high AOE damage in groups of stacked players making it perfect for Battlegrounds or boss fights. The Lunarch build offers good resistance stripping through Inject Venom while also offering some good defensive skills that help with both staying alive while also helping allies.
Attributes




To maximize damage, prioritize Dexterity and Perception, since they scale your DPS the most and make each hit stronger. Adding a bit of Wisdom helps with mana regeneration, but it should always come after your main damage stats. Finally, invest around 50 points into Strength for a solid health boost and better survivability.
Skills






















Lunarch’s Orb damage mainly comes from combining Supernova Collapse,
Interstellar Explosion, and
Void Slash after placing Orbs with either
Starcalling or
Summon Constellation. Both work well, but
Starcalling should be your priority, while
Summon Constellation is better for faster burst since it takes less time to set up. This core damage is further amplified with
Inject Venom, adding strong DoT and lowering enemy resistances.
On the defensive side, Guardian Defensive Wall and
Distortion Veil give you shielding while also boosting your damage output.
The Dagger shines with its passives, offering extra crit rate from Destructive Fang and
Assassin's Instincts, plus bonus crit damage from
Wrathful Edge.
Orb passives are just as crucial: Astral Overseer increases crit rate while reducing
Starcalling’s cooldown, making it a cornerstone of the build. Paired with
Pulsating Galaxy, you gain steady bonus damage whenever you use Orb skills, keeping your DPS high and consistent.

Rotations




















- Buff yourself with
Inject Venom &
Distortion Veil which will apply poison every time your abilities deal damage.
- Once you're buffed, use
Starcalling to drop down 3 orbs onto the a group of enemy players, both dealing damage while also setting up for
Interstellar Explosion. Quickly after that, use
Stellar Dash &
Void Slash to deal high AOE damage before the
Interstellar Explosion goes off. Finish off the rotation with
Temporal Leap so you can get your cooldowns back while being invisible.
Camouflage Cloak: Usually good for repositioning on the battlefield, use this to do that or to get away from fights.
Guardian Defensive Wall: Use this to support allies, usually on top of tanks that pull enemies together.
Phantom Smokescreen: This is fantastic to help with keeping a position, placing it down on yourself while you channel your rotation.
Useful Information
- Lady Knight Kamarshea is the best all-around choice for a guardian, offering strong synergy with her shield that absorbs damage equal to 50% of your mana. This not only provides reliable protection but also speeds up cooldowns, letting you heal more often. If you’d rather take a more offensive route, Shade Revenant Stheno and Geen Ranger Elowen are excellent alternatives in party play. Stheno adds burst potential while Elowen helps control the battlefield by rooting groups of enemies.
