With the unique stats and attributes system in Throne and Liberty, it can be difficult to determine exactly where to invest your attribute points at each stage of the game. This is because gear pieces provide attributes just like leveling up does, meaning everyone will have a different number of attribute points depending on what gear they are wearing at the time.
Given this variation, it's best to reset your attributes regularly to adjust to the new gear you acquire. Aim to reach the achievement effects, which provide extra benefits at milestones like 30, 50, and 70 points.

Your primary focus with this build should be Wisdom, as it enhances your maximum mana, crucial for sustaining prolonged engagements. Additionally, Wisdom boosts mana regeneration and cooldown speed, essential for maintaining your abilities. After reaching 30 Wisdom, allocate 30 points into Perception to amplify your damage output, thereby increasing the effectiveness of your healing abilities. The remaining 9 points can be invested in Strength to bolster your base HP, enhancing your survivability in PvP encounters and maximizing your maximum HP.

When prioritizing skill upgrades, focus on getting Swift HealingUsed frame.webpSwift Healing up along with Inject VenomUsed frame.webpInject Venom as they make the biggest impact, allowing you to stack poison up to 20 on your targets while rare level of Swift HealingUsed frame.webpSwift Healing allows you to cast the ability twice. Rare level of Touch of DespairUsed frame.webpTouch of Despair also increases the number of curse stacks you can place on a target.

You should prioritize Devotion and EmptinessActive frame.webpDevotion and Emptiness as it increases the amount of healing you provide through all your healing abilities and it couples well with Noble RevivalActive frame.webpNoble Revival. Meanwhile, Wraith's BeckonActive frame.webpWraith's Beckon extends the duration of your curses, providing extra healing thanks to Vampiric ContractActive frame.webpVampiric Contract, allowing the use of your curses to heal the frontline of your group without your active healing attention. Assassin's InstinctsActive frame.webpAssassin's Instincts, is a good offensive passive that grants you extra critical hit while Shadow WalkerActive frame.webpShadow Walker is our only defensive option.

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, being able to shrug off chip damage easier while the rest of 3 points can go Poison for a bit of extra damage and weaken chance.
