Overview
This Wand and Dagger PvP build stands out as a great AOE DPS build for large-scale PvP scenarios. Its strength lies in still being able to shield your team during extensive combat while dishing out AOE sleeps on enemy groups and maintaining the offense with your high AOE DPS.
Attributes
Your primary focus with this build should be the combination of Dexterity and Perception as you are looking to deal high damage while healing remains secondary in PVP fights. Additionally, spending some points into strength to at least reach 30 points remains valuable as it offers extra staying power with the extra max HP.
Skills
This Wand & Dagger build focuses on helping your team with both offense and defense but its main purpose remains dealing damage which requires investing skill books into the skills that form your main damage combo. Touch of Despair, Karmic Haze, Cursed Nightmare and Corrupted Magic Circle should take priority when you are upgrading skills.
However, you shouldn't forget your support skills as they can help turn the tides of a fight. Blessed Barrier and Invincile Wall are fantastic skills to support your party during pushes or to save those that overextend. Use Fountain of Life as you see fit to help your group or to keep yourself alive while using Swift Healing to heal friendly targets (and also heal yourself thanks to the 50% healing received).
As far as passives go, your priority should remain Assassin's Instincts, Wrathful Edge and Shadow Walker as they provide a fantastic damage boost to all your abilities while also improving your defenses with the use of Shadow Walker which can be triggered by simply using Block Blade to boost your evasion rate.

Wand:
Allocating 9 points into Recovery is the best strategy as it amplifies your healing capacity while also boosting mana regeneration. The remaining 3 points can be distributed to Weaken, primarily to extend the duration of damage you do with your curses.
Dagger: Investing 9 points into Disguise is ideal as it provides passive defensives that will help you stay alive even when under pressure as it boosts your evasion rate to almost ridiculous numbers, being able to shrug off damage entirely. The rest of 6 points should be invested into Assassination for extra crit damage.
Rotations
- This rotation allows you to sleep a group of enemies while also deal good damage to them. Start by using Camouflage Cloak to position yourself (optional). Start your rotation with Cursed Nightmare, Time for Punishment, Corrupted Magic Circle and Touch of Despair to put them asleep and apply dots before you spread them by using Karmic Haze. Finish up your damage with Curse Explosion
Invincile Wall: Use this skill to shield yourself and your party members whenever required, either during defensive positioning or while your group is pushing into the enemy zerg.
Clay's Salvation: This is your AoE healing ability. Try to use it whenever your group mates are close together so the AoE heal can reach all of them.
Fountain of Life: Use this during pushes, placing it on the frontline as they engage into a fight or placing it within your own group or on top of yourself.
Swift Healing: This is your only single target healing ability and you should use it in order to save overextending party members that took too much damage while also healing yourself with the 50% healing you receive when using this skill.
Camouflage Cloak: Camouflage Cloak offers you stealth and a way to disengage whenever you are being focused, taking the heat off yourself.
Useful Information
- Choose Lady Knight Kamarshea as your guardian; it offers vital 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, allowing you to heal more frequently.
