Overview

First thing you should know is that this Greatsword and Longbow Large Scale PvP build is off-meta and not one of the top picks when it comes to large scale PVP but still a decent build as it offers great CC through Arrow Vortex while Flash Arrow still does high AOE damage alongside Decisive Sniping. This build also offers good sustain to your party through the use of Healing Touch.

Wisdom

Perception

30

Focus on investing points into Strength and Dexterity, aiming to reach 30 in each stat to maximize your damage potential and increase heavy attack chance and skill damage thanks to Vital Force. However, as you progress and your gear improves over time, you will want to aim for 60 points into strength to make use of the extra HP and heavy attack chance. Dexterity should be your secondary focus to improve your critical hit while the rest of your points should go into perception.

Defense

The Greatsword & Bow build is a great choice for those looking to play an off-meta build while still supporting their team and being useful.

The highest single target damaging skills in your arsenal are Death Blow and Guillotine Blade. Meanwhile, your AOE skills are Decisive Sniping and Flash Arrow. Level them to purple as soon as possible in order to boost your DPS.

Arrow Vortex is your main CC skill that can easily be reset with Blitz, allowing you to CC entire enemy frontlines on your own.

Healing Touch offers healing to both yourself and your group as it is boosted by your passives (Earth's Blessing and Distorted Sanctuary).

For passives, you should focus on upgrading Robust Constitution for additional health and health regen. Vital Force matches well with Robust Constitution and considerably increases your damage. Indomitable Armor is a great defensive passive alongside Devoted Shield and Distorted Sanctuary.

Rotations

Single Target Kill Rotation ↴

• This rotation serves as your primary kill rotation and it begins with Devastating Smash to jump onto and stun your target. Follow up with Ascending Slash to Prone your target and then use Gaia Crash to deal quick damage while they are on the ground. Continue with Stunning Blow and Death Blow before finishing them off with Guillotine Blade.

AOE CC Rotation ↴

• This is a CC heavy rotation meant to offer opportunities to your team by floating groups of enemies into the air and dealing quick damage in order to cause chaos in the enemy team.

• Start with Arrow Vortex into as many enemies as you can before resetting the skill cooldown with Blitz. Continue the rotation with Flash Arrow and another Arrow Vortex before using Decisive Sniping to deal some extra AOE damage to the enemy group.

Healing Touch: Use this skill to heal yourself and your party members between fights, helping a lot with keeping your zerg alive and healthy as you manoeuvre the fight.

Useful Information

• Choose Lady Knight Kamarshea as your guardian; it offers vital defense with its shield, capable of absorbing damage up to 50% of your mana. This not only assists in reducing incoming damage but also accelerates your cooldown rate, enabling more frequent use of your abilities.
