As you begin your journey in this brave new world, exploring its massive cities like Kastleton, ancient forests, ruins of forgotten civilizations, distant islands, and massive deserts, you will be fighting your way using your chosen weapons. This is the guide for the Throne and Liberty DPS build, the best of several DPS builds that will allow you to deal massive amounts of damage, level up fast, and experience all of the content the game offers.

This guide is for those who want to be number one and have the strongest build in the game. If you don’t care about meta and just want to play the game, you can try out any combination of weapons you want. You can definitely do that. But the game is unforgiving to those who might have picked the wrong weapons for their build. If you choose the wrong weapons, you’re going to have a hard time catching back up. The game gives you a lot of free weapon upgrades and weapon skill upgrades, and if you use it all, you won’t have it for the next weapon. So, when you first start the game, you’re going to want to know what weapons are best suited for the DPS build Throne and Liberty and what gear and stats you’re going to want to have on it as well.

Throne and Liberty DPS Build PROs and CONs

We’re going to start by naming the advantages and disadvantages of using a DPS build. Despite its very obvious strong point - dealing lots of damage, DPS can be difficult to manage, and you need to know the strong and weak sides of your build if you want to be great at it.

The DPS build PROs are easy to name:

• Huge damage output - with the right allocation of stats and the right bonuses in your gear, your build will be the main source of damage in any group content. Meanwhile, in solo play, you will be able to kill enemies before they get in melee range. Plus, you’ll have all the tools you need to kill packs of mobs in a single rotation.
• Varied types of damage - your build is great at both burst and DoT damage thanks to the combination of weapons that you’ll be using. You’ll also have several powerful AoE skills that will help you level up much faster than any melee build.
• Crowd Control and mobility - The staff skill "Smokescreening Frost" not only deals damage but also creates a zone that decreases the movement speed of enemies within its radius. This provides crowd control utility by slowing down opponents, making it easier to control the battlefield and kite enemies. Additionally, the skill allows you to teleport backward for 10 meters, which enhances your mobility and survivability, allowing you to reposition or escape dangerous situations quickly. This combination of crowd control and mobility can be advantageous in both PvE and PvP encounters, as it gives you better control over engagements and positioning.

But there are certain DPS build CONs that you need to be aware of:

• Resource Management - both weapons use Mana to cast skills. This means that you will be depleting your mana pool very fast, and the more complex your rotations are, the faster you will run out. This will leave you unable to use your skills effectively and vulnerable in combat. This is why you will be prioritizing increasing your max mana pool and mana regen bonuses in your gear.
• Complexity - due to the fact that you have such a rich arsenal of skills where you can use AoE abilities, DoT curses, and single-target burst damage skills, it will be difficult to pull out rotations, because they’re just complex. If you want to have the maximum effect and output the maximum amount of damage, you’ll need to learn what each of your abilities does so you know when to press your buttons.
• Limited Role Specialization - While you will be great at dealing damage, you’ll have limited survivability options, which can lead to your demise if you’re not careful. At low levels, you’ll only have the Wand’s Rapid healing, and your Staff will give you the panic button to teleport backward, but that’s about it.

A DPS build is best at what it does - dealing damage. It has its limitations just like any other build and role in the game. What's more difficult is your path to making the best possible build for it. To do that with ease, you can Buy Throne and Liberty leveling service at SkyCoach. Our professional TL players will pick up your order right away and level up your character as quickly as possible. This is the best way to experience your DPS build the way it was meant.

How To Play The DPS Build in Throne and Liberty

This DPS Build uses the combination of a Staff plus a Wand and Tome weapons. At the start of the game, you’ll have a decent selection of active skills from both weapons, which will make your leveling phase fairly fast and enjoyable. All you need to know about how to play the DPS build in Throne and Liberty can be summarised in these simple points:

• Learn your early game rotation to the T and expand it as you gain more levels and unlock new skills.
• Prioritize using the Staff plus Wand and Tome as your weapons of choice for this DPS build. These weapons can be used to make a full healer build, or a DPS build with some healing.
• Understand the synergy between your chosen weapons' skills to maximize damage. 
• Take advantage of environmental conditions, such as rain, that power up your Lighting skills. 
• Use the passives from Wand and Tome and receive increased healing during the day and increased DoT during the night.
• In combat, start with DoT skills from the Wand and Tome, then use Staff skills for additional damage to kill mobs faster. If the enemy survives, finish them off with auto-attacks using the selected weapon.
• Always stay mobile and don’t let the enemies reach you in melee combat. Use the panic buttons to teleport and move around. Use the landscape to your advantage as well.
• Prioritize leveling up your Staff abilities as the main source of damage, with the Wand and Tome serving as your secondary source of DoT damage and healing.
• In solo play, use AoE skills for efficient mob farming and contract completion but don’t get greedy.
  In group content, focus on burst damage. Watch your cooldowns and execute your rotations correctly.

By following these guidelines and adapting your gameplay to the specific strengths and synergies of the Staff plus Wand and Tome weapons, you will be the strongest DPS in the game. BLOG20

Throne and Liberty DPS Build Abilities

Expect to unlock 10 active, 8 passive, and one defensive Throne and Liberty DPS abilities from each of the two weapons you’re using. Out of 20 active, you’ll only be able to use a maximum of 10 and out of 16 passives, you’ll only be able to have 8 active at the same time. So choose carefully. Refer to these tables to check which skills you’ll have:

This is the list of abilities that will be available to you from level 1 and those that you will be using in your rotation at the start of the game. You will unlock more active abilities at levels - 11, 21, 29,  37, 44, and 50.

Throne and Liberty DPS Build Passives

Along with the active skills, you will get 3 slots for your passive skills that you can equip at the same time. Here are those that you will want to use:

At the start of the game, you will only have two passives available. Over time, you will unlock more by reaching a specified level - 7, 16, 25, 33, 41, 47.

Throne and Liberty DPS Build Rotations

While you’ll only have 6 buttons to press at the start of the game, you still need to press them in the right order. Even during the early levels, the game can be harsh to those players who are pressing skills mindlessly. The reason for that is that your mana will run out fast, so you must spend it on the maximum number of skills. Your healing potion has a 1 minute cooldown which is a lot compared to what it is in similar games. In other words, you can die very fast if you’re not doing your rotation. With that in mind, we’re giving you two best Throne and Liberty DPS rotations that you can use for PvE and even in PvP.

Rotation #1:

1. Serial Flame Bombs - start with this one because it has a cast time, applies burning damage, and has a nice range of 16m, which makes it a great starter.
2. Chain Lighting - continue your combo with instant skill to deal damage which is increased if the target is burning, which it will be in our case.
3. Touch of Dispair - apply another DoT effect to make the enemy take damage while you cast your next skills. At this point, the target’s health is already less than half.
4. Curse Explosion - finish the target off by exploding it, applying the remaining Burning and Curse DoT damage at the same time.
5. Smokescreening Frost - Hit this button if the target is still alive and finish them off with a couple of auto attacks.
6. Swift Healing - heal yourself in case you need it. This is an optional skill in your rotation.

Obviously, your main weapon for this would be the staff, although it doesn’t matter which one you use as the equipped one, as it only changes your auto attack. You could start by applying the Touch of Dispair, but its range of 14m is less than the range of the Serial Flame bombs, which means your target will have to cover a longer distance to reach you.

Rotation #2:

1. Serial Flame Bombs - start with this one just like before because it has the best range and applies the DoT.
2. Curse of Dispair - give your target another DoT damage while it's moving towards you.
3. Serial Flame Bombs x2 - cast the next two fireballs, each having less cast time than the previous but costing more mana.
4. Chain Lighting - follow up with this to capitalize on the fact that the target is still burning
5. Curse Explosion - blow up all DoT effects of the burning and the Curse to finish off the enemy.
6. Smokescreening Frost - Hit this button if the target is still alive and finish them off with a couple of auto attacks.
7. Swift Healing - heal yourself in case you need it. This is an optional skill in your rotation.

This rotation utilizes the special mechanic of the Serial Flame Bombs that allows you to cast 3 fireballs in a row. The only difference is that we’re sneaking in another DoT-type skill after the first fireball while it’s possible. It’s important to keep in mind that if you don’t press the fireball button 3 times fast enough, the combo resets, which means that you will have to cast the first fireball with 2 seconds of preparation.

Keep in mind the fact that when it's raining, your Chain Lighting hits one additional target that is wet, so use it to your advantage. Also, these are very early-game rotations, and as you level up, you will add 5 more active skills, which you will be able to mix into your rotations. Stay tuned for updates as we reach endgame content and have more information on the rotations at max. level.

DPS Build Leveling Throne and Liberty

There are a lot of things and systems you will go through in your Throne and Liberty DPS build leveling stage that may confuse you. So, in this section, we’ll go over some of the most important things.

First of all, what is your main weapon? What’s the secondary one, and why those specifically?

• Main weapon - Staff
• Secondary - Wand & Tome

This DPS build uses these specific weapons because they’re both ranged weapons, and their abilities complement each other. The Staff is the main weapon because it offers a wider array of damaging skills, which is why you'll typically find more Staff spells in use compared to Wand and Tome spells later on in the game. However, Wand and Tome also boast a selection of potent damage spells that apply debuffs and DoTs, ultimately enhancing our overall damage output. 

Active and Passive Skills Enhancement Prioritisation

All of your skills must be upgraded using the Skill books that you will receive as rewards for completing quests and contracts. They can also be crafted. There’s always not enough of them available at any given time, and you will have to prioritize. Below, we’re going to offer you nothing more than just advice on which skills to upgrade first. The general idea is this:

1. Staff Active Skills
2. Wand and Tome Active Skills
3. Any Passive skills

In other words, upgrade your skills in the same order as you use them in your rotation. Once again, this is the priority for those skills that are available to you at the start of the game, and later on, your priorities will change. We’ll update this part of our guide in time when we have more information about the max-level DPS builds in the game.

Stat Prioritisation

There are five stats in the game, which you will be able to upgrade when you reach a new level. For the selected weapons and your build overall, you’ll only need to level up two of these:

1. Wisdom - serves as the basis of the Mind. Increases Max Mana and Mana Regen in addition to reducing cooldowns of abilities and increasing Max Damage of magic-based weapons.
2. Dexterity - serves as the basis for proficiency. Increases quickness and critical attacks in addition to Evasion and Max Damage. In other words, it increases your maximum possible damage and makes you harder to hit.

Of course, you can also pick Perception instead of Dexterity because it improves the efficiency of your CC skills.
