Overview

This Wand and Longbow PvP build stands out as one of the best options for 1v1 encounters or small-scale PvP skirmishes. Its strength lies in its high self-healing capabilities and respectable damage output, often allowing it to win against opponents lacking healing sustain. Moreover, in team fights involving small groups of players, this build excels at providing healing support to the entire group while still contributing significantly to damage dealing, effectively acting as an off-healer.

For this build, prioritize allocating points into Dexterity and Perception, aiming to reach 30 in both stats to enhance your damage output, which complements your inherent sustain from healing abilities. Allocate the remaining 9 points into Wisdom to bolster your mana pool, improve mana regeneration, and enhance the effectiveness of your healing abilities.

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.
