Spellblade - Dagger + Staff Large Scale PvP Build
- High AOE Burst Damage
- Great Mobility
- High Skill Floor & Skill Ceiling
Overview
This Staff and Dagger build focuses on large scale PVP, performing well as a mobile range DPS capable of dealing high damage in bursts through the use of both 
Serial Fire Bombs and 
Infernal Meteor. The build remains relatively difficult to pull off as positioning is very important, proving to be a challenge for players looking for a challenge.
Attributes
Dexterity
Perception
Strength
WisdomTo make this build work well, it's important to focus on dealing as much damage as possible. Dexterity and Perception are the key stats to improve. Putting points into these will greatly boost your damage, helping you perform well in every fight. You can also put some points into Wisdom for more mana regeneration to keep going longer, but the main goal should be boosting damage with Dexterity and Perception. Don't forget to put 30 points into Strength too, as it gives you extra health.
Skills
In terms of skills, your main damage will be coming from your 
Judgment Lightning, Serial Fire Bombs and Infernal Meteor as they all deal high AOE burst damage throughout large scale PVP fights while also applying burns which trigger Infernal Aftermath from masteries, with Infernal Meteor also decreasing the healing received by targets hit by the Infernal Meteor. These are the first skills you should get to purple alongside 
Inferno Wave and 
Chain Lightning. Do not understimate the strength of 
Frost Smokescreen either as the fire variant applies burn damage to targets, and if you have a Bellendirs staff, this will proc its passive.
As far as passives go, you should focus on upgrading 
Flame Condensation for additional damage. 
Assassin's Instincts for extra crit rate and 
Shadow Walker as a defensive skill that can be triggered at any time by simply using your 
Block Blade (you don't have to actually roll to the side to activate this, just pressing your block is enough). It also activates whenever you use 
Shadow Strike. One less known way of activating it is by channeling and canceling Frost Smokescreen.

Rotations
- This rotation will maximize the damage you do when bombing. Start with using Block Blade to boost your endurance and activate your passive Shadow Walker. You can also use an Attack Remedy to further boost your burst damage. Make sure to follow up quickly with Infernal Meteor before following up with Inferno Wave (2 times if you get the proc) and Chain Lightning to spread some AOE damage on the clump.
- If you are still in a good position, you can follow up by using Block Blade again and then bursting with Judgment Lightning, spreading your damage across enemies that might still be clumped up together. This second part of the rotation can also be used on its own.
- Similar to the Meteor Bombing Rotation, this one is aimed to deal high AOE damage but can be pulled off easier as you can continue moving while channeling Serial Fire Bombs.
- Start by buffing with Block Blade to boost endurance rate and catching a group of enemies with
Icebound Tomb before using Serial Fire Bombs on a enemy that is stacked in a group. Follow with Inferno Wave on the same target to spread burn and poison stacks on all nearby enemies before using Chain Lightning to spread damage across the clump of enemies.
- This is your easiest rotation to do and it deals good damage too! Begin with using Block Blade to increase endurance rate and make it more difficult for enemies to hit you while channeling Judgment Lightning followed by another on the same target. Make sure you pick a target that is close to other enemies so the lightning hits multiple players. Follow up with a quick mix of Inferno Wave and Chain Lightning to finish off the rotation and do some good damage on your targets.
High Focus: You should use this ability regularly to increase your hit rate and also improve your evasion! This helps a lot with survival and dealing damage, piercing through enemy magic evasion.
You can use 
Camouflage Cloak before your AOE burst rotation to position yourself for the burst. This ability remains one of your most versatile skills though, especially for repositioning or getting away from lost fights.
Frost Smokescreen: This is your main Burn spreading skill, cast it on its own in clumps or in the path of enemies to apply burns and slow them down, it works best with a Bellendir Staff though!
Phantom Smokescreen: Use this skill to protect yourself from crossbows jumping into your group. Use this instantly as you are being targeted or if a crossbow is attacking near you. You can also use this as part of your bombing combo to deny range damage.
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.
