Attributes
Perception
Dexterity
Strength
WisdomIn order to maximizing your damage potential, invest most points into Dexterity and Perception, aiming to push them first as they offer much needed hit rate and critical hit rate. You should also improve your Strength in order to improve your survivability, 30 is a good breakpoint to reach if it doesn't take too much. Meanwhile, Wisdom can be left as the lowest priority.
Skills
Your main burst ranged damage is provided by 
Strafing, 
Zephyr's Nock and 
Decisive Sniping, these are the first skills you should level alongside 
Brutal Arrow. 
Nature's Blessing is your main utility skill that regenerates your mana and health but can also be used with 
Inner Peace by staff players in your party to quickly regain all mana.
Your melee skills shouldn't be forgotten though as 
Cleaving Moonlight and 
Brutal Incision have high damage, especially when attacking targets debuffed by your 
Inject Venom. 
Shadow Strike is your main mobility skill and is perfect for setting up your melee rotation while also allowing you to return to the initial spot.
Wrathful Edge, 
Assassin's Instincts and 
Destructive Fang are your main damage increasing passives as they increase crit rate and crit damage. Remember to remain standing to make use of 
Rapidfire Stance while 
Shadow Walker triggers whenever you use 
Block Blade or Shadow Strike.
Equipment
These are the first items you should strive for after leveling 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. 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.
This is the gear you should be wearing during the midgame. It is comprised of gear you can get either from dungeons or by grinding contracts, 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.
THIS PART OF THE GEARING WINDOW IS RESERVED FOR END GAME (TIER 2 ITEMS) THAT AREN'T AVAILABLE YET IN THE WESTERN VERSION OF THE GAME AND ARE STILL BEING RELEASED IN KOREA. THAT FOR, IT REMAINS A WORK IN PROGRESS AND YOU CAN SAFELY IGNORE THIS PART UNTIL WESTERN RELEASE OF TIER 2.
This is the the best in slot gear and the most difficult to acquire. It is comprised of gear you won't get easily, requiring large amounts of Lucent to buy off the auction house or requiring you to be part of a dominating guild on your server. Some of the pieces come from tier 2 dungeons and are difficult to acquire and trait up.

Longbow:
Allocate 9 points into Sniping to significantly increase your damage and critical damage. Then, invest 6 points into Check for more cooldown speed and to enhance the Bind Chance of your 
Ensnaring Arrow skill. Useful for smaller mobs but also debuffing bosses by applying the Oppressed debuff.
Dagger:
Invest 9 points in Assassination for extra crit damage, off-hand weapon activation rate and attack speed. The remaining 6 points can be added into Poison for more base damage and off-hand & silence chance.
Rotations
- This is your main Ranged DPS rotation and can be paired with the melee rotation below. Being by buffing yourself with the Inject Venom then using Ensnaring Arrow to apply the oppressed debuff and make use of
Steady Aim before using Decisive Sniping to deal high damage while also increasing your critical hit rate.
- Continue by putting down Brutal Arrow on top of the boss/enemy you are fighting to start applying the Gale debuff. Follow up by applying
Deadly Marker which will increase critical rate for your entire party but also double the stacks of Target you apply with Strafing. Finish up the rotation with a damage boosted Zephyr's Nock and transition into the melee rotation.
- While this rotation isn't as powerful as the Ranged Rotation, you want to follow up with this rotation after you've done the ranged one and you need extra damage on the target. You can still use this rotation on its own as its still very potent at dealing with low HP mobs.
- Make sure that you have Inject Venom active first. Start by using Shadow Strike to get in melee range before following up with Cleaving Moonlight two times and using Brutal Incision to deal high damage. Use Shadow Strike again to teleport back to the original location from where you can transition back into your Ranged Rotation.
Useful Information
- Choose Lady Knight Kamarshea as your guardian; it provides vital protection with its shield, capable of absorbing damage equal to 50% of your mana. This not only helps reduce incoming damage but also speeds up your cooldowns, enabling you to use your abilities more frequently.
