Hi! Do you really need the "Hit Chance" traits in the weapons to fight bosses and go full PVE? In the longbow i think you can remove Hit Chance and add the Max Health trait or Mana Regen in order to get more sustain against mobs and bosses. Of course for PVP is useless and it is better the "Hit Chance" traits, but for a full set PVE i think is better change it. The same thing for the Toublek Staff, i think you can change the Hit Chance trait for Cooldown Reduction. Let me know if i am wrong please, i´m playing right now XBow/Dagger on my main build and i notice that the Hit Chance against mobs is useless.
These comments have been incredibly insightful and useful, thank you all so much, I’m glad I posted this video and sounds like I’ll be making some adjustments!
My only issue with this rotation is that Fireball Barrage "eats" your burning stacks before you can get full dmg from Judgement lightning (which does more dmg per stack of Burning). Just on your bar I'd swap Fireball Barrage and Inferno Wave and then just use them in order on your tray. (After buffing of course 🙂) For max DPS on a single target you really want 10 stacks of Burning before you let Fireball Barrage off the chain, as it were, so it (when improved as you have it) will throw out 20 fire balls rather than just the base 10 (As the improved version is 1 fireball per stack+1 fireball per stack = 20 fire balls at 10 stacks ) Other than that minor tweak. I love the build. Love the content you're putting out as a fellow f2p player it's helped me a lot recently. Thank you!
@@OzzDrake thanks man, thanks for watching and subscribing! I’m gonna swap these and try it out. I didn’t think barrage consumed stacks but maybe I’m wrong?
@@EhJay_Plays An absolute pleasure! As a f2p/PvE player much like yourself. These guides are what helps me to tweak my own builds and see where it Can be, versus where it currently is. I also fell into the "Purple" trap early... lvl 6 tbh, with something like 15 Precious Pouches after a server delay... I'm back in Green/Blues at lvl 30 (fresh alt - I have 2 other 50's thats are in blue/purple transition stage) and having more fun!
I just talked to a guildie adn they ALSO fell in the trap! It's everyone! Alts are a great change of pace, I have one as a completely different play style I've been gearing right so far (now that I know how LOL)
Yep so if Hellfire Rain does not give you 10 burning, its best to hit a quick Chain Lightning before Focused Firebomb hits so that 10 burning is applied. Animation speed for Chain Lightning is very quick and low cooldown so you do not lose much with hitting it b4 10 burning stacks. Essentially its very important to have 10 burning stacks before Fireball Barrage short cast is finished or you will be gimping your dps by shooting less fireballs. In boss situations only, this is why projectile speed on Focused Firebomb can be crucial rather than aoe range increase. Sometimes with increased projectile speed and the small cast time of Fireball Barrage, you can cast Fireball Barrage as the firebomb hits and 10 burning is applied. This should be less of an issue after this patch going out right now, as Hellfire Rain is going to become more centralized and hopefully stack more burning on small hitbox targets. Inferno Wave is a low priority skill for damage, but its very high priority if your target does not achieve 10 burning stacks with Hellfire Rain into Focused Firebomb. Especially if you were to miss Hellfire Rain and only connect with Focused Firebomb, the boss will be low burning stacks so your rotation will be gimped and Inferno Wave becomes your highest priority before Barrage, Chain Lightning and Judgment Lightning. Applying and maintaining 10 burning stacks will make you achieve significantly more pumpage throughout a fight. An additional tip I have for bow staff players is to use Chain Lightning as filler between specific skills to squeeze more dps out. For example if your primary rotation is finished and you wanted to use Focused Firebomb into Hellfire Rain, you will have a more fluid rotation and do more damage using Chain Lightning between the two skills Focused Firebomb - Chain Lightning - Hellfire Rain. Of course this will not make or break a boss kill, but it can speed up things tremendously in PVE situations such as Gate of Infinity.
I definitely use chain lightning as filler since the CD is so low, thank you for this in depth response, I’m gonna look at this further and maybe make some changes
This is the best bow staff build pve. Definitely get rid of snipe if you’re using it. Seems good in theory until your cool down % goes sky high and the extra long cast + using bind arrow =garbo
8:31 They got it twisted with the description. You have a 5% chance to fire an additional bomb that deals 135% damage, its basically the same as with the additional arrow passive
I get that you don't participate in pvp proactively but what I fail to always understand is why some players say this when playing mmo. So do you skip Guild activities like siege and wb hunts in conflict zones and such? You can't dodge pvp completely especially in this game. I too do not actively pvp but when siege comes, my build needs to be decent in order to contribute and enjoy myself as well. It's fun to play as liberators in siege. Arena, however, forget about it. It's like a graveyard for bow/staff users lol.
My guild doesn’t do sieges, boonstones, riftsones, etc. plus, my timing is fucked because I play west but live east so I can’t do PvP even if I wanted to lol
What do you mean you can't avoid PvP in this game? You just... don't do it? I'm currently in a PvE guild where we don't do any PvP because no-one cares about it. I had enough of it in the first few weeks of the game and I don't want to engage in it anymore. Game is still perfectly playable without it.
@@cypher9000well yes, you can avoid doing pvp contents for sure. What I'm saying are the unavoidable instances where you need to man up and fight. Ex: - abyss dungeon farming then you didn't notice it turned night time already and your party got PK'd by randoms. - sudden conflict zone areas while you're there During guild raids, there's a pvp area in your castle where you can have some friendly pvp with guildmates too. That's always fun especially when you're all on discord laughing and killing each other during prep time or after the raid.. If you all skip that too, that's a very lame way to play... But you do you, I guess. Also, you're missing out not participating in Siege. T&L siege is quite unique and has great potential to be one of its greatest assets compared to other mmos. It should improve more when more players get stronger which isn't a long way from now. Every week, guild raid bosses are becoming easier and faster to kill. I'm sure it's the same for your guilds too. Mmo is best enjoyed doing pvp and especially siege. I've been playing mmo since Ragnarok Online in the early 2000s and I haven't seen any MMO game that majority of people play is because of its PVE. Lol. Pure online PVE games aren't mmorpg. Like the goat of the its genre, Monster Hunter.
Ill be swapping to this as soon as i get home im at 2800cp rn since i dont have all purple gear except for my max Karnix bow and torso. Whats your best infi for farming upgrade tokens?
@@lshelt590 make sure that when you do daily contracts you take the ones with rare polished crystals as they are used to create all the growth stones! Farm the open world dungeons for the polished crystals and stones. Traits for blues are dirt cheap on the AH. Any blue gear dissolve it for the dust. It’s not that bad to switch back
Yeah best dps pve specially for world boss, if you notice most bow/staff bow/dagger staff/dagger get world boss loot. On the last archboss on my server all 3 drops was obtain by bow/staff users 😂 I plan to level bow as my 3rd mastery weapon, if you cant beat em join em haha

For world bosses that die fast - use blitz over the mana regen skill. Can do meteor, barrage, meteor
Especially after the meteor buff, get that bad boy to lvl 5 stat. Those 3 skills will do like 150k dmg buffed up in like 6 seconds or less
I will look at this, thank you bro!!

Wtf really? That is not what it sounds like 🤣

Thank you man, much love

Great build, need an alt. Got tired of tank lol but off topic do you use your alt on another character or same character?
alt as in alternate charecter! different
Yeah best dps pve specially for world boss, if you notice most bow/staff bow/dagger staff/dagger get world boss loot. On the last archboss on my server all 3 drops was obtain by bow/staff users 😂
