Overview

This Scryer, Longbow and Orb build focuses on dealing high damge in all PVE content, being the perfect build for anyone looking to do PVE content in Throne and Liberty regardless of which challenge they are looking to tackle.

Attributes

PRIMARY
Dexterity Dexterity
+
Perception Perception
SECONDARY
Strength Strength
+
Wisdom 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.

If you want to push your damage as high as possible, focus heavily on Dexterity and Perception since both directly scale your DPS and make every attack hit harder. Adding a touch of Wisdom is worthwhile too, as the extra mana regeneration helps sustain your rotation over longer fights, but it should always come second to your main damage stats. Don’t neglect survivability either as putting at least 30-50 points into Strength provides a solid health boost that makes it much easier to stay alive while dealing damage.

With this build focusing on low cooldown skills, the Longbow pairs perfectly with the orb thanks to its StrafingUsed frame.webpStrafing + Zephyr's NockUsed frame.webpZephyr's Nock while being able to reset important skills with BlitzUsed frame.webpBlitz.

Main build damage comes from Supernova CollapseUsed frame.webpSupernova Collapse, Interstellar ExplosionUsed frame.webpInterstellar Explosion along with Void SlashUsed frame.webpVoid Slash which all deal high damage and can be reset with BlitzUsed frame.webpBlitz. Deadly MarkerUsed frame.webpDeadly Marker is another important skill to keep in mind.

As a Scryer, much of your strength comes from positioning. Standing still lets you take full advantage of Rapidfire StanceActive frame.webpRapidfire Stance, which boosts your critical chance, while keeping your distance further amplifies this effect through Sniper's SenseActive frame.webpSniper's Sense. Among your passives, Astral OverseerActive frame.webpAstral Overseer stands out as one of the most valuable, not only increasing crit rate but also reducing the cooldown of StarcallingUsed frame.webpStarcalling, making it a core part of the build. To round things out, Pulsating GalaxyActive frame.webpPulsating Galaxy adds steady extra damage as you cycle through your abilities, ensuring your DPS output remains consistently high.

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.

Useful Information

  • Select Lady Knight Kamarshea as your guardian; it provides essential protection with its shield, capable of absorbing damage equal to 50% of your mana. This not only aids in mitigating damage but also increases your cooldown speed in order to let you heal more often. However, you can also use Shade Revenant Stheno or Geen Ranger Elowen if you are looking to deal extra damage or root enemies if you are in a party that has to burst down enemies quickly or lock down groups.
