Overview

This Polaris build is all about burst damage while using the Orb as backup for self-healing when no healer is around. It can deal plenty of damage with just the spear, while the Orb adds both defensive buffs and extra damage through Summon Satellite and Amplification Veil. On top of that, Constricting Tempest makes Polaris especially hard to escape from, chaining enemies in place so they stay within your damage range and can’t kite away.

Why are there no exact stats?

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 maximum damage, prioritize stacking high Dexterity and Strength with some Wisdom for support, while keeping Perception as a lower priority.

The build's core damage stems from combining Vicious Fury with Javelin Inferno, allowing javelins to bounce between enemies. Cyclonic Fury provides an additional powerful AOE option, effective for clearing groups of enemies or taking down solo players.

These abilities are further enhanced by Amplification Veil and Unyielding Sentinel, which also offer shielding while attacking. Constricting Tempest is also highly beneficial, keeping targets pinned to you. Summon Satellite adds even more value by increasing the damage of basic attacks and boosting the HP of the shield generated by Amplification Veil.

On the passive side, Nimble Steps improves collision resistance, while Imposing Form provides a strong damage boost. The Orb passives are equally important, with Astral Overseer increasing critical rate and Rift Fracture enhancing the damage output of Summon Satellite.

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

Single Target Burst ↴

Buff up with Amplification Veil, Unyielding Sentinel and Amplification Veil in order to boost up your damage and shield yourself. This is very much optional, sometimes you don't have to buff up this much and can stagger them, only using either Unyielding Sentinel or Amplification Veil to get an advantage.

Eitherway, carry on with Constricting Tempest (Tempest Strike) to latch onto an enemy before using Vicious Fury to build up stacks. Carry on with using Javelin Surge followed by Phoenix Barrage before using Temporal Leap to get cooldowns back.

Keep in mind that Javelin Surge bounces, so stacked enemies means you deal mroe damage, and often its worth catching people while they are clearing mobs so you can bounce spears off the mobs too.

Useful Information

Choose Lady Knight Kamarshea as your guardian for the best overall synergy. Her shield absorbs damage equal to 50% of your mana, giving you reliable protection while also speeding up cooldowns so you can heal more frequently. If you prefer a more offensive approach, Shade Revenant Stheno or Geen Ranger Elowen are strong alternatives—both excel in party play, either by boosting damage for faster bursts or rooting enemies to help lock down groups.
