| Pros | Cons |
| Short CooldownsDecent and Consistent DamageCan Engage Safely at a Distance | Mana-IntensiveWeapons have different rangesCan be challenging to play |
This build utilises pure ranged DPS with relatively short cooldowns, allowing it to dish out punishment from a safe distance.
As the Longbow has a longer range than the Crossbow, it would take some time to adjust to the maximum range of the crossbow to avoid the character moving into Crossbow range when switching from the Longbow.
While having short cooldowns is great, it could also be detrimental as the player can easily get overwhelmed with skills past the opening rotation. Coupled with other mechanics on each encounter, it's easy to get lost on what to use first.
However, the downsides can be mitigated as the player gains experience, with the exception of mana management, which requires allies to completely fix.

Note: Base stats are always 10!
Prioritize putting points into Dexterity, as this is the best way to increase damage, and Perception to increase hit chance and ranged damage. Try to reach 60 Dexterity and 50 Perception.
Afterward, get 50 Strength to increase your damage, Max HP, Damage Reduction, and Heavy Attack Chance. Put everything else on Wisdom.

This build does away with utility skills, with the exception of the Deadly Marker, as it is a personal and party DPS booster.
Since Mother Nature's Protest will consume most of the mana, Mana Exchange is used to alleviate some of the mana problems in this build.
Prioritise levelling Quick Fire, Zephyr's Nock, and Strafing as they will provide a significant amount of the build's DPS early on, before the harder hitting skills become available.

While Karnix Netherbow is a tempting option, it is recommended to use Tevent's Arc of Wailing Death instead to maintain range consistency. As the Strafing combo will be used quite often, it's the better choice for this build.

Queen Bellandir's Toxic Spine Throwers is the weapon to go for, as the build will be stacking a lot of Dexterity, there would be plenty of opportunities to trigger a critical hit. Since the weapon itself provides a decent amount of Dexterity, this is a no-brainer.

The Death Set is a great fit for this build, as it improves the critical damage and attack speed that this build really benefits from. Max Mana and Mana Regeneration traits are taken whenever possible, as this build consumes mana at a rapid rate.
The rest of the armour and accessories are used to increase Dexterity and Perception. With this build, it is possible to reach 60 Dexterity and 40 Perception breakpoints, with points to spare, as well as 50 Strength.

Maxing out the Chainfire tree is the best option, as all of it's passives contribute significantly to increasing DPS. The Move tree is also of great benefit, as it increases the chance of a Heavy Attack, so 6 points will be spent here.
For the longbow, the goal is to get to Brutal Shooter as quickly as possible to increase Critical Damage. The rest of the points will go to the Check tree to get to Gale Arrowhead to reduce all cooldowns.
Get the other mastery nodes as points become available.

 Shade Revenant Stheno |
Launches 5 projectiles at random enemies within a 10m range every second. A single enemy may be hit with multiple projectiles at the same time. Each projectile deals 52% of Base Damage. |
Shade Revenant Stheno is one of the best options for Guardians when it comes to boosting DPS, as it not only deals significant damage on its own, but also benefits from Mother Nature's Protest.

Note: If the skills icons are confusing, some of the skill icons indicated here are using their specialized variants.
| Gale Arrow When used, properties activate or deactivate.When activated, projectile attacks consume 16 Mana to shoot an additional projectile. This property deactivates if Mana is less than 10% of Max Mana. Acquiring more than two properties at the same time triggers cycling between the properties in this order: Gale > Flame > Frost > Lightning > Deactivation, every time this skill is used. Gale Arrow Deals 21% of Base Damage. Has a 15% chance to apply Gale for 6s. Flame Arrow Deals 21% of Base Damage. Has a 15% chance to apply Weaken: Burning for 3s, which has the same effect as Serial Fire Bombs. Frost Arrow Deals 28% of Base Damage. Has a 30% chance to apply Frost and Weaken which decreases Move Speed by 10% for 1s. If the effect is already applied, the duration increases by 0.5s. Lightning Arrow Deals 30% of Base Damage. Has a 8% chance to deal additional damage that is equal to 120% of Base Damage. If the target is Wet or has Frost applied by you, the status transfers to another enemy within 5m radius.
▶
Deadly Marker Has a 90% chance to Mark a target for 9s. When attacking the Marked target, Magic, Melee, and Ranged Critical Hit increases by 100 for you, and 100 for your party members. On every Critical Hit, you and your party members’ skill cooldowns 1% ▼. On Marking a monster, only 50% of the cooldown decreases is applied (up to 100 times).
▶
Mortal Mark Deals 200% of Base Damage + 14 Damage and has a 100% chance to Weaken and Mark the target for 3s. When attacking a Marked target, deal 15% of Base Damage + 1. Damage accumulates until the Mark ends, at which point the Mark explodes and deals Bonus Damage to the target equal to 10% of the total accumulated damage. Stacks up to 2 times. Marked targets received 60% less Incoming Heal.
▶
Quick Fire Attacks 3 times consecutively. Each hit deals damage equal to 110% of Base Damage + 4. Against Weakened targets, deals damage equal to 20% of Base Damage + 7.
▶
Strafing Attacks with 4 arrows in a row. Each attack deals 90% of Base Damage + 15 damage. The damage is amplified by 15% against bosses. The skill can be used one more time within 3s, using only 50% of the Mana cost. On hit, Target status is applied to the target for 6s to empower other Longbow skills. Target Stacks up to 10 times.
Zephyr's Nock Deals damage equal to 320% of Base Damage + 26. The damage increases by 7% per 1m distance from the target. Consumes all Target stacks to increase damage by 5% per stack.
▶
Ensnaring Arrow Deals 130% of Base Damage. With an 80% chance to Bind a boss for 3s. A Boss immune to Bind is instead Oppressed for the same duration.
▶
Decisive Sniping The skill effect is enhanced based on the collection time. Deals 500% of Base Damage + 53 to 800% +84.8. The damage is amplified by 60% against bosses. On hit, increases Melee, Ranged, and Magic Critical Hit by 200 to 400 for 3s. The damage is amplified by % against bosses.
▶
Quick Fire Attacks 3 times consecutively. Each hit deals damage equal to 110% of Base Damage + 4. Against Weakened targets, deals damage equal to 20% of Base Damage + 7.
▶
Mana Exchange Consumes 450 Health to recover 310 Mana.
|
Toggle Mother Nature's Protest on before starting, to ensure that all skills have the Gale effect. Once Deadly Marker and Mortal Mark are applied, start dealing damage with Quick Fire, Strafing Combo, and Ensnare Arrow for Decisive Sniping.
Quick Fire should be ready as soon as Decisive Sniping finishes casting, so use it before rounding up with Mana Exchange to replenish mana reserves.
| Selfless Diffusion For 6s, Off-Hand Weapon Attack Chance is boosted by 30%. On Weakening a target within 6s, all skill cooldowns 0.15s ▼, and 0.03s ▼ for 2 more stacks of Weaken. The Cooldown Reduction effect can only be applied up to 10 times per sec, but not applied to Selfless Diffusion. On every hit, remaining duration 0.05s ▲ for all Weaken effects on the target.
▶
Merciless Barrage Shoot at the target location with both hands 15 times each. Arrows deal 19% of Base Damage + 3 to the first enemy hit. On each consecutive hit to the same target, Damage 8% ▲ (stacks up to 10 times). The number of attacks can be increased up to 24 times each, based on the Attack Chance of the equipped Off-Hand Weapon.
▶
Blitz A special growth skill that can only be grown with Precious Skill Growth Book: Omnipotence. Resets the cooldown of the recently used skill. This is only available when a resettable skill exists, and it is not affected by Skill cooldown speed and skill cooldown reduction.
▶
Merciless Barrage Shoot at the target location with both hands 15 times each. Arrows deal 19% of Base Damage + 3 to the first enemy hit. On each consecutive hit to the same target, Damage 8% ▲ (stacks up to 10 times). The number of attacks can be increased up to 24 times each, based on the Attack Chance of the equipped Off-Hand Weapon.
|
Thanks to Blitz, Merciless Barrage can be cast twice in quick succession. As the cooldown of Blitz can't be reduced, it's better to wait for Blitz to complete its cooldown before casting Merciless Barrage again to prevent Blitz from drifting.
| Strafing Attacks with 4 arrows in a row. Each attack deals 90% of Base Damage + 15 damage. The damage is amplified by 15% against bosses. The skill can be used one more time within 3s, using only 50% of the Mana cost. On hit, Target status is applied to the target for 6s to empower other Longbow skills. Target Stacks up to 10 times.

A staple of any longbow build, be prepared to use this combo a lot as most crossbow skills are cast quickly. Thanks to Mortal Mark being part of the kit, this can deal even more damage.
Ideally, this rotation should be done when Deadly Marker is applied to the target, but may not be readily available due to cooldown restrictions.
