Overview
This Staff and Wand build focuses around playing in small groups or solo. With it's great single target damage and self healing abilities, it can blast through the leveling part of Throne and Liberty with ease while also proving to be incredibly capable in PvP events. While it isn't difficult to play, this build can truly shine when used by someone that mastered it.
Attributes
Your primary focus with this build should be Dexterity for increased damage, getting that to 30 should be your priority before moving on to perception and getting that also up to 30 for even more flat damage increase, rest of your points should go into wisdom for a bit of extra mana regeneration and maximum mana. Due to the use of 
Inner Peace, you have no mana issues whatsoever as you remain capable of regaining most of your mana between fights.
Skills
Skill Priority
When prioritizing skill upgrades, start with 
Swift Healing as it's your main healing ability that pairs well with 
Blessed Barrier and being able to cast it twice is fantastic even with increased mana cost. Next, focus on upgrading 
Serial Fire Bombs to improve your main damage ability. Follow up with 
Chain Lightning and 
Inferno Wave whenever you find rare books!
Passives Priority
Start by upgrading 
Manaball Eruption to improve your auto-attack damage by a lot, allowing you to kite using 
Frost Smokescreen while burning down your targets through auto-attacks. 
Devotion and Emptiness is a great flat healing increase and 
Mana Amp offers important max HP.

Staff:
Investing 9 points into Destroy is perfect as it offers passive damage and extra critical hit chance. The remaining 3 points should be go to Attribute for the additional 10% Burning Damage, further enhancing your damage.
Wand:
Allocating 9 points into Damage is the only viable choice as it adds a lot of extra damage for the build and matches perfectly with the Staff, the last 3 points can go into Recovery for extra 8% heal.
Rotations
- Start off the rotation by buffing with
High Locus to decrease your cooldowns and also increase your movement speed. Debuff your target with 
Time for Punishment and then cast all three charges of Serial Fire Bombs to up the burn stacks on the target before using Inferno Wave for the same reason. Use Chain Lightning coupled with 
Judgment Lightning for high burst damage and then use 
Ray of Disaster to finish off the target.
Swift Healing: With this being your only healing ability, you want to try and use this smartly even though you can use the ability twice. Try to always pair it with Blessed Barrier to boost the healing amount.
Inner Peace: You want to use this ability whenever you have the chance between fights, with a low 60s cooldown, you should be able to use it quite a lot once its upgraded to epic. It pairs very well with 
Nature's Blessing, allowing you for 100% max mana recovery when used while under the effect of Nature's Blessing
Useful Information
- Choose Lady Knight Kamarshea as your guardian; it provides good protection with its shield, capable of absorbing damage equal to 50% of your mana. This not only helps mitigate damage but also speeds up your cooldowns, allowing you to use your abilities much more often.
