- Low Mobility
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.
Attributes
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.
Skills
Skill Priority
When prioritizing skill upgrades, focus on getting Swift Healing up to rare first as it's your main healing ability. Afterwards you want to upgrade your damaging skills starting with Touch of Despair as at rare level you can stack it up to 3 times. Decisive Sniping and Ensnaring Arrow are your next abilities to upgrade and also part of your main single target damage while Curse Explosion and Corrupted Magic Circle are your AoE damaging skills.
Passives Priority
We rely on several high-level passives, which keeps the cost of the build relatively low. Prioritize upgrading Devotion and Emptiness, as it boosts the amount of healing provided by all your healing abilities. Distorted Sanctuary enhances your defensive stats as long as you remain near other party members. Additionally, Wraith's Beckon extends the duration of your curses, leading to extra healing thanks to Vampiric Contract.

Wand: To enhance the overall damage of your skills, allocate 9 points into the Damage row and the remaining 3 points into Weaken for an extended curse duration.
Bow: You want to get 9 points into Sniping for the incredible amount of extra damage the row provides and then the extra 3 points should go into Check for extra damage and Bind Chance that will help with your Ensnaring Arrow.
Rotations
- While this serves as your primary DPS rotation, initiate with Time for Punishment as it has no cast time and applies a potent debuff to your target. Follow up with Ensnaring Arrow to root the target, allowing you to freely cast Touch of Despair and then Decisive Sniping for quick damage. Reset the Decisive Sniping cooldown swiftly using Blitz, then cast Strafing. If Strafing procs, cast it again after another Touch of Despair until you exhaust the procs, then cast Ensnaring Arrow again followed by Decisive Sniping and Curse Explosion to utilize the stacks of curses on your target. Curse Explosion can also be employed after the third cast of Touch of Despair for additional damage while you await other cooldowns.
Cursed Nightmare: This is your best ability in case you are being focused or you want to reset a fight. Keep in mind that you can still apply curses on the target using Curse Explosion or Corrupted Magic Circle while the targets are slept so you can set them up for a big Curse Explosion.
Blitz: Blitz is a highly versatile ability, allowing you to reset the cooldown of various skills such as Blessed Barrier, Clay's Salvation, Decisive Sniping, and others, depending on the situation.
Clay's Salvation: This skill functions as your AoE healing ability. It's best used when your group members are clustered together, ensuring that the AoE heal reaches all of them effectively.
Blessed Barrier: This skill serves as one of your primary defensive abilities. It's most effective when used preemptively, before engaging with an enemy, as it can mitigate a significant amount of damage. Additionally, it enhances the effectiveness of your healing abilities. It can also be utilized on other players with the same effect.
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.
