- High Burst Damage
- High Single Target DPS
- Easy to Play
- Off-meta
- Low Utility
This build is still under construction as we're preparing for the AGS patch.Overview
The Staff and Spear PvE build focuses on delivering fast bursts of damage to quickly eliminate mobs. Despite its speed, it also excels at AoE damage with abilities like 
Serial Fire Bombs, which deal significant damage to groups of enemies. For a more hands-on approach, moving in close to use 
Cyclonic Fury and 
Javelin Surge provides a highly satisfying and effective way to clear enemies.
This build is ideal for efficiently clearing open-world mob packs, making it perfect for completing contracts. It shines in the DPS role in any situation, delivering strong damage in dungeons, open-world encounters, and Dimensional Trials.
Attributes
Dexterity
Perception
Strength
WisdomFor this build, prioritize Perception and Dexterity to maximize your damage. These stats are key early on, as they increase your critical hit rate, improve accuracy, and boost overall damage. As you upgrade your gear, keep focusing on these stats to enhance your performance.
Strength and Wisdom are secondary but still useful. Strength increases your maximum HP, helping with tougher PvE challenges, while Wisdom improves mana regeneration. While not as essential, they contribute to your survivability as you advance in Throne and Liberty.
Skills
With the build making heavy use of Spear skills, you should prioritize them when upgrading. Skills like 
Abyssal Cleave and Javelin Surge or Cyclonic Fury are your main DPS skills that offer incredible damage. The passives shouldn't be forgotten either as they provide an incredible boost to your damage, especially the combination of 
Retaliatory Strike and 
Death Knell while 
Mortal Wrath is perfect to add extra damage whenever you hit a low HP target.
From the staff side of the build, the 
Forbidden Sanctuary offers good extra skill damage which is very important for this build, especially with how expensive it is to get skill damage increases from the gear. 
Flame Condensation is another key passive as well, increasing your heavy attack rate when hitting burning enemies, making all your attacks much more dangerous. 
Asceticism is another important skill, not only for your mana regen but also for the extra heavy attack chance if you don't move.
Continuing with Staff Active skills, 
Judgment Lightning and Serial Fire Bombs deal good damage and also apply extra burn stacks with 
Inferno Wave applying extra burn stacks and boosting the amount of fireballs launched by 
Fireball Barrage.
Equipment
These are the first items you should strive for through the leveling period as they are very easy to get and upgrade or trait as needed. However, you shouldn't try to trait these items too much as you won't be spending too much time playing with this setup before you start changing pieces into the Midgame. The green accessories however are very easy to trait as you can craft many of them quickly in order to get the correct traits so you should consider traiting them until you change into purples. The same goes for the blue ring as you keep it for a long time.
This is the gear you should transition to once you're leveled to 50 and start grinding gear. It is comprised of gear you can get either from dungeons or by completing Litographs, they are relatively easy to trait up and you will spend most of the time wearing this set before advancing into the late game so traiting these items is very important and should be your main focus.
This is the current endgame gear you should aim for, and while it isn't easy to acquire, it offers great power without the need of acquiring archboss gear pieces. However, items like 
Tevent's Fangs of Fury or other archboss weapons are superior but difficult to acquire for the majority of players. If you do manage to get the archboss weapons for your build, feel free to use them over the weapons shown here.

Staff: To maximize your damage output, invest 9 points into Destroy and Attribute to boost overall damage while the remaining 1 point can go into Mana for a bit of extra defense.
Spear: The 9 points should go into Face Off while 9 more go into Destroy for similar effects and another chance of increasing overall damage of the build. The remaining 1 point goes into Charge!
Rotations
- Use this rotation to kill mobs with low max HP or simply as the rotation you do before your main Melee Rotation. Prebuff with
High Focus and 
Unyielding Sentinel to lower overall cooldowns and boost heavy attack chance before you transition to actual damaging skills.
- Begin with Serial Fire Bombs, fully charged up in order to maximize the burn stacks you land on the target. Follow up with Inferno Wave for some extra damage and burn stacks. Once you've stacked up burns on the target, use Fireball Barrage to maximize the number of fireballs you send out.
- Finish off the rotation using Judgment Lightning (two times if it procs) before using Javelin Surge. Once you've done this rotaiton, you can transition into the melee DPS rotation with mainly Spear skills.
- This rotation serves as your primary melee rotation. You It is best if you start this rotation after you've already used the Ranged Rotation.
- The rotation is rather simple with Abyssal Cleave to stun or shock the target before using Cyclonic Fury and
Culling Arc to deal damage but also further debuff the target before using 
Rising Slash.
Useful Information
- You can also choose Lady Knight Kamarshea as your alternative 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.
