Longbow + Crossbow Small Scale PvP DPS Build
Strengths
- High single target burst damage
- Long range
- Good mana sustain
- Mobility Gameplay
Weaknesses
- Have to wait for cooldowns to burst DPS
- Lost of HP for Mana regen (you need to control your HP when playing without healers).
This build is designed for both PvE and PvP, with a focus on Longbow damage. Considering that your progress in the game will be influenced by both PvP and PvE events, you'll have the opportunity to excel in both aspects. The Crossbow enhances your skill set by providing damage, debuffs, as well as mana sustenance and mobility.

- After leveling up this sequence of skills, aim to individually upgrade the others to Rare and then to Epic. Prioritize upgrading your damage skills since you play a DPS role rather than support. Afterward, focus on upgrading mobility and other relevant abilities.

- Adjust your passive skills as needed in different situations. Take Nature's Power, for instance, which enhances damage after using dodge skills—an excellent choice for PvP. Another example is Distorted Sanctuary, a favorable option for use in large groups as it provides defense for each group member in close proximity to you.
Rotations
Mark Synergy Rotation ↴
- Upon landing a critical hit with Decisive Sniping and Strafing, they will reset the cooldown (limited to two consecutive resets). Utilize them whenever this reset occurs. If both skills reset simultaneously, alternate between them quickly—you'll have enough time to execute this sequence.
- Deadly Marker comes with a longer cooldown compared to other skills. Therefore, continue incorporating the remaining skills into your combo even when Deadly Marker is on cooldown, but be sure to reintegrate it into your rotation as soon as its cooldown resets.
- Ensnaring Arrow plays a crucial role in the combo, inducing a Bind effect on enemies. This synergizes with your Passive Skill, boosting critical chance when the enemy is bound. As a result, your Used Skills reset more easily.
Mark Synergy Rotation ↴
- Execute the rotation of Mortal Mark, Quick Fire and Zephyr's Nock quickly. The debuff from Mortal Mark lasts only 3 seconds, so it's crucial to quickly use the other skills to capitalize on this advantage. Keep in mind that Crossbow Skills have a shorter range compared to the Longbow, making this combo more effective when you are closer to the target.

- Make sure to consistently utilize Mortal Mark; this enhances your mana regeneration significantly. It's essential to always have World Tree Leaves on hand for continuous use and keep HP potions at the ready to maintain high health, especially when you're alone without healers.
Useful Information
- In PvE, always maintain maximum distance from the boss to maximize your critical chance and critical damage. Sniper's Sense boosts damage the farther you are from the boss. Additionally, aim to minimize movement, as Rapidshot Stance provides extra bonuses when you remain stationary for 2 seconds.
- Thorn Gale and Merciless Barrage synergize well when used together. Consider replacing Multi Shot and Brutal Arrow with these, but be cautious as they have high mana consumption. It's unlikely that you'll sustain a good mana supply if used constantly.
- When it comes to Defense Skills, you have the option to choose which one suits your needs. Sustaining Roll proves to be a more compelling choice for PvP, providing increased mobility and synergizing with a passive that boosts damage during Mobility Skill use. On the other hand, Overtaker might be more appealing for PvE, enabling you to hold your ground while defending and ensuring the upkeep of passive buffs.
- Main stat is DEXTERITY, with focus on PERCEPTION and some points on WISDOM for mana regeneration.
- The Moonlight item set is a solid armor choice to begin with. Robert's accessories are also excellent for starting out and can be obtained through the main quest and exploration in the Adventure Codex.
