Overview
Another off-meta build, this Greatsword and Wand Small Scale PvP build is perfect for both new and veteran players looking for a challenge or looking for a different approach to Throne and Liberty as this build offers great sustain for a Greatsword build while remaining rather easy to play. The Wand side of the build offers good healing between fights and to keep yourself healthy while also helping your group.

Wisdom
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, prioritize Strength and Dexterity as your main attributes. Strength boosts your damage, increases heavy attack chances (and enhances healing), and provides more HP, which is critical for PvP survival. Additionally, 
Vital Force improves both skill damage and healing based on your Strength. Aim for 60 points in Strength to gain extra health and further enhance your heavy attack chances and survivability. Dexterity is crucial for increasing your critical hit rate, improving your overall damage output. Finally, invest remaining points into Perception to boost your hit rate, while Wisdom isn't as valuable for this build.
Skills
The main focus when upgrading skills are the following: 
Valiant Brawl, 
Death Blow and 
Guillotine Blade. They are your bread and butter skills and pair perfectly with 
Stunning Blow and 
Ascending Slash in various combos. Meanwhile, 
Devastating Smash remains the main AOE CC to lock down groups of enemies when playing with a party.
Don't neglect the support side of the build though! 
Fountain of Life is a great AOE heal and can top up your entire group with ease between engages or simply used to heal yourself between fights in Dominion events. 
Swift Healing is a great heal to use during the fight, popping it on yourself to keep your health up while 
Clay's Salvation is another AOE healing option for use with party.
As far as passives go, you should focus on upgrading 
Robust Constitution for additional health and health regen. Vital Force matches well with Robust Constitution and considerably increases your damage & healing. 
Noble Revival is a direct passive increase to your healing while 
Saint's Oath increases your healing whenever you take damage, even boosting amitoi healing!

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.

Rotations
- Begin the rotation with
Precision Dash used two times to bind your target. If your bind succeeds, use Ascending Slash to trip (Prone) your target before using Death Blow for some extra damage. Follow up with Stunning Blow and Guillotine Blade to finish off your target.
Invincible Wall: This is a great skill to use when you expect an enemy to try and burst you down. This shield can tank a lot of enemy's damage rotation and allows you to live through it.
Devastating Smash: Use this skill on its own to lock down enemies when you catch a group stacked together. You can also follow up by using the Green Ranger Elowen guardian to maintain the enemies caught in place by rooting.
Cursed Nightmare: You can use this skill to CC someone and get away from a fight while you are vulnerable without cooldowns or simply to get away from a matchup you cannot win.
