- Underwhelming in group PVP
Overview
Crossbow and Dagger PvP build with the highest damage potential in the game, offering remarkable damage output and lethal capabilities. The combo of dealing quick high damage and its mobility makes the Crossbow Dagger build perfect as a duelist, adeptly maneuvering in and out of combat to dispatch foes before swiftly moving on to the next target.
Attributes
To maximize damage with this build, prioritize Dexterity and Perception. Investing in these stats will significantly boost your damage, ensuring you can consistently deal high damage in every fight. While adding some points to Wisdom for mana regeneration can help with sustain, your main focus should remain on Dexterity and Perception for damage. Additionally, be sure to allocate 30 points into Strength, as the extra health it provides is particularly valuable in the late game when the Crossbow becomes less effective.
Skills
As this build focuses on small scale PVP and dueling, being one of the strongest duelists in the game. You should definitely focus on upgrading your main damage skills. Your top priority is Quick Fire and Mortal Mark, as they are fundamental to your combo, alongside Knife Throwing. Subsequently, focus on enhancing Shadow Strike, Brutal Incision, and Cleaving Moonlight in that order as they are also part of the main damage rotation.
For passives, prioritize enhancing Ambidexterity, Assassin's Instincts, and Nature's Power to maximize your damage potential early on. These upgrades offer the most significant damage boosts. Shadow Walker can be upgraded later, as the benefits it provides over the blue version of the passive skill are relatively minimal, making it more of a defensive choice.
Equipment
These are the first items you should strive for after leveling as they are very easy to get and upgrade or trait as needed. However, you shouldn't try to trait these items too much as you won't be spending too much time playing with this setup. The green accessories however are very easy to trait as you can craft many of them quickly in order to get the correct traits so you should consider traiting them until you change into purples.
This is the gear you should be wearing during the midgame. It is comprised of gear you can get either from dungeons or by grinding contracts, they are relatively easy to trait up and you will spend most of the time wearing this set before advancing into the late game so traiting these items is very important.

Crossbow: Allocate 9 points into Chain Fire to boost your raw damage output and improve your ability to secure kills. Invest the remaining 3 points into Regen to increase Amitoi Heal amount by an additional 6%.
Dagger: Opting for Assassination for your Dagger is crucial, as it grants a notable damage increase. Distribute the remaining 6 points into Poison to introduce a chance for weakening effects and add extra damage to your arsenal.
Rotations
- This rotation is meant to deliver fast burst damage to a single target before they can respond. Ensure that both Inject Venom and Mother Nature's Protest are active before using Shadow Strike to bind and silence your target. Then, use Mortal Mark to set up for the burst damage that follows.
Camouflage Cloak: This serves as your primary defensive ability alongside Selfless Diffusion. Employ it when you're under focused fire or need to relocate. It's also effective for resetting a fight and cooldowns after eliminating a target. Additionally, there are myriad other ways to utilize stealth, so don't hesitate to try it out!
Selfless Diffusion: This serves as your secondary defensive ability, boosting your resistance and enabling you to pass through players and mobs. Additionally, it provides extra Off-Hand Weapon Attack Chance, enhancing your damage potential if you opt to counterattack.
