| Pros | Cons |
 Adept at Burst DamageHard to FocusRanged Options |
 Squishy when CaughtSkill-extensiveNeeds Proper Skill Timing |
The Dagger / Staff weapon combination essentially fills in the role of safely securing the kills due to their ability to hop in and out of combat. The Staff / Dagger's playstyle revolves around pelting groups of enemies from afar, then swooping in on low-health targets at opportune moments!
Due to this playstyle and the build's squishy nature, it requires the player to have the wits, guts, and know-how to execute this combination properly.
| Stat | Total | Points From Lvl. | Points From Gear |
|---|---|---|---|
| Strength | 50 | 20 | 20 |
| Dexterity | 34 | 11 | 13 |
| Wisdom | 20 | 2 | 8 |
| Perception | 60 | 16 | 34 |
Note: Base stats are always 10!
As a general rule for most builds that make use of ranged, prioritize getting 60 Perception to increase the consistency of hitting your skill rotations as the majority of PVP builds will be stacking Evasion. Furthermore, this also increases your range, allowing you to stay in the backline. The additional buff duration also extends your Lightning Infusion and Victorious Energy!
The second priority would be 50 Strength to provide more durability, increasing your survivability in combat. Reaching 50 also offers additional Heavy Attack Chance to synergize with Judgement Lightning!
The remaining points should allow you to reach 30-40 Dexterity, which increases your chances of evading hits and ability to dole out critical hits.

For the active skills, this PVP will utilize a 5/7 split between the Staff and Dagger, mainly taking supplementary skills from the Dagger while focusing the main damage on the Staff.
The Staff skills will utilize Burning DoTs and Lightning burst potential along with Ice Spear Bombardment to prevent opponents from escaping. Furthermore Victorious Energy is included to answer situational moments during combat.
Serial Fire Bombs - This will be your go-to skill for spreading the Burning weakness DoTs, enhancing your Lightning skills.Inferno Wave - Often a filler spell during rotations. Use this to quickly reach max Burning stacks after casting Serial Fire Bombs.Ice Spear Bombardment - Easily your highest damaging skill when you have not set up opponents with Burning and singles out an opponent within your range.Chain Thunder - Due to its quick refresh, always use this off cooldown to make use of the boost from Burning DoTs. Use this alongside Ice Spear Bombardment on a single target to fully capitalize on the DoT. Judgement Lightning - Best used after exiting stealth to get the guaranteed critical or to finish off low-health opponents.Infernal Meteor - Best used when all of your other skills are on cooldown and you are safe to proceed with casting down hellfire on groups of enemies. You can also remove Lightning Infusion's specialization to get the anti-healing!Victorious Energy - You can use this skill either defensively or offensively. Defensively, it allows you to have increased chances of evading key CCs. Offensively, you can use this to ensure your Execute combo.The Dagger skills, on the other hand, are mainly included for its stealth package along with some skills that allow you to close in on enemies to execute them.
Cleaving Moonlight - This will be your go-to skill when it comes to dealing damage up-close given its high burst damage with the Consecutive Use specialization.Shadow Strike - This skill is used to quickly teleport behind an enemy opponent after whittling them down with Staff Skills. With the Shadow Escape specialization, you can safely return to your prior position after killing a target. Shadow Strike has the same range as Ice Spear Bombardment when the Range specialization is applied.Lightning Infusion - Keep this buff active at all times to increase your overall damage by lessening your opponent's resistances. Remember to use the second cast after closing in on an enemy!Brutal Incision - Always use this skill last as it allows you to deal an absurd amount of burst damage on low-health enemies.Camouflage Cloak - No build with the Dagger does not include Camouflage Cloak. With stealth's utility, you can either use this offensively or defensively. With the immune to CC specialization, use this just before you are tagged with a CC skill to avoid getting burst down.Prioritize leveling your Camouflage Cloak and all your Staff Skills afterward, especially Chain Thunder and Ice Spear Bombardment.
The best passives to prioritize leveling are Shadow Walker and Mana Amp as they fully apply bonuses to this build's playstyle.
Shadow Walker - Increases your resistances and evasion after using mobility skills. Mana Amp - Increases your HP and Mana by a decent flat amount, giving you more durability and leeway to cast your skills.Assassin's Step is included because it lets you escape the thick of battle by increasing your speed after assassinating a target. The next skill you use will also be cost-free, so look to take advantage of that!
Assassin's Instincts, and Wrathful Edge, while simple, provide a massive increase to your critical hit economy by increasing the consistency and potency of the damage.
Furthermore, PVP is all about the up-time of your skills, so including Echoic Barrier to lessen your chances of being CC'ed or silenced will improve your overall value. Remember, staying alive is the best contribution to battle!
To further amp up the build's damage, Flame Condensation and Forbidden Sanctuary are slotted in. Flame Condensation allows your burning DoTs to deal more damage and increase your chances of a Heavy Attack. Forbidden Sanctuary further boosts your damage potential overall.

When Stunned, trigger Petrification: Freeze for 1s to protect yourself. Cooldown 60s. |
Note: All of the traits shown here are of max value!
The primary weapon for this build will be Talus's Crystalline Staff mainly for its weapon effect, Talus's Cold Stone. It is best to improve your chances of survival by mitigating CC in PVP scenarios, which this effect covers since it turns the player to stone for a few seconds after getting engaged. This build perfectly counters weapon combinations such as the Dagger/Greatsword!
Furthermore, the weapon provides a whopping +9 to Dexterity, giving us an easy route to access the additional 100 Critical Hit and 15 Bonus Damage.
The best traits to give Talus's Crystalline Staff would be Hit, Heavy Attack, and Critical Hit to further synergize with our Staff Skills. It is best to prioritize Hit as it is the golden stat in PVP.
As an alternative, the Staff of the Umbramancer is a solid choice since it helps us reach our Strength and Perception caps while also trying to address the cooldown problems this build possesses.

Furthermore, its weapon effect Lequirus's Gale Blade increases this build's DPS by staying mobile. This weapon effect can be triggered reliably as this build constantly activates mobility skills to achieve its game plan.

This Staff and Dagger equipment focuses on gathering as much Perception and Strength to reach the caps of your core skills. The sub-stats with the armor will be focused on stacking as much Evasion stats as possible while keeping the thresholds of Perception and Strength in mind.
The build also utilizes some 2-part bonuses that attempt to answer its Cooldown problems. The Ascended set provides an additional 21% to Cooldown Speed. The Shadow Harvester set then slots the build with a flat Critical Hit Damage.
The defensive traits focus more on Evasion rather than Endurance as you should always be in the backlines, meaning you should rarely tank hits and focus on proper positioning and timing to reliably avoid some attacks.
Furthermore, this build has a mediocre HP baseline, so if you would like more durability, you can trade Cooldown Speed for defenses with Heroic Hood of the Resistance.

Note: If the skills icons are confusing, some of the skill icons indicated here are using their specialized variants.
| Lightning Infusion Adds Weaken: Thunderclouds effect to all attacks for 9s. Thunderclouds lasts for 6s, and decreases Melee, Ranged, Magic Endurance by 6 per stack. Stacks up to 20 times. Reusing the skill within 9s will trigger a stabbing attack with the both hands, where stab inflicts 110% + 4 damage, and then turn to inflict additional 240% + 9 damage. Applies Weaken: Thunderclouds to every target within a 3m radius of the target.
▶
Serial Fire Bombs A Fire skill that deals 120% of Base Damage + 22 damage and inflicts Weaken: Burning with an 80% chance to every enemy within 3m radius from the target. 2 Weaken: Burning is applied to the target (3, if the hit was critical). Burning lasts for 12s and deals 1% of Base Damage + 1 damage per stack per sec. Stacks up to 10 times. It can be used up to 3 times in a row. The casting time decreases and Mana cost increases as the skill is used consecutively. All Fire skills’ Weaken: Burning Damage is equal to Serial Fire Bombs.
x3 ▶
Ice Spear Bombardment An Ice Skill that hurls 8 ice spears, and each spear deals damage equal to 70% of Base Damage + 7 with a(n) 80% chance to Weaken the target, which decreases Move Speed by 51% for 3s. Frost is applied.
▶
Inferno Wave A Fire skill that deals damage equal to 260% of Base Damage + 62 to all enemies within 3m of the target. Attacking a target that you applied Burning to will boost the damage by 3.1% per stack, with a 70% chance to apply Weaken: Burning. If you land a heavy attack on a target that applied Burning to, 2 stacks of Weaken: Burning are applied.
▶
Chain Thunder Strikes targets with a lightning skill that deals 320% of Base Damage + 22 damage. Attacking a victim of the user's Burning increases damage by 4% per stack. The damage is amplified by 40% against monsters. Using the skill on a target with Wet or Frost inflicted by the user transfers damage to nearby targets within a 5m radius up to 3 times. Each transfer decreases damage by 20%. Transferred damage does not stack. Decreases the cooldown by 20% if the user is affected by Wet.
▶
Judgement Lightning A lightning skill that deals 630% of Base Damage + 166. When the target is Wet, or Frosted by you, deals 420% + 110 damage up to 5 enemies within 5m. The damage is amplified by 40% against bosses. When used on an enemy Burned by you, the skill can be used again with a 2.5% chance for every 1 stack. When you land a Heavy Attack with this skill, it can be immediately used again, and when the second Judgement Lightning strikes the target as a Heavy Attack, reduces the cooldown by 30%.
▶
Infernal Meteor A special growth skill that can only be grown with Precious Skill Growth Book: Omnipotence. A Fire skill that deals 830% of Base Damage + 51 damage to all enemies within 4m. If a hit becomes a heavy attack, it also applies 5 stacks of Weaken: Burning.
(optional) |
The main goal of this bread-n'-butter combo is to inflict as much damage from a safe distance by utilizing the staff's innate synergies between Burn-inflicting spells and Lightning skills.
After buffing yourself up with Lightning Infusion, sequence Serial Fire Bombs, Ice Spear Bombardment, and Inferno Wave to set up your additional burst damage with Chain Thunder and Judgement Lightning.
If the damage was insufficient in whittling their health down to less than 50%, you can repeat this rotation or reposition to find an opportune time to use Infernal Meteor.
The key for your Staff combos is to use your Fire skills as a primer for your Lightning skills, so if you choose to slot in other damaging spells, follow this philosophy to maximize your damage.
| Victorious Energy Magic, Melee, and Ranged Hit 250 ▲ and Magic, Melee and Ranged Evasion 250 ▲ for 12s.
▶
Shadow Escape Moves behind a target and deals damage equal to 200% of Base Damage. Has a 52% chance to Bind the target for 2s and apply Silence: Poison for 4s. Can go back to the original casting location if used again within 6s.
▶
Cleaving Moonlight Charges to a designated target up to 3m away, attacking every enemy within a 1.5m radius 3 times. Each attack deals 110% + 4, and Off-Hand Weapon Activation deals damage 4 times.
x2 ▶
Brutal Incision Deals 450% of Base Damage + 92 damage, and removes the target’s Thunderclouds effect. The damage is amplified by 15% against bosses. When the target’s remaining Health is 50% or less, Critical Hit 600% ▲. Critical Damage 20% ▲.
▶
Shadow Escape Moves behind a target and deals damage equal to 200% of Base Damage. Has a 52% chance to Bind the target for 2s and apply Silence: Poison for 4s. Can go back to the original casting location if used again within 6s.
|
The main goal of this combo is to finish enemies off after whittling down an enemy with your spells from range or when you spot a vulnerable priority target that you are confident in bursting down.
After casting Victorious Energy to ensure your hits while avoiding getting burst down, quickly blink behind the opponent by using Shadow Escape and execute them by quickly bursting them down with Cleaving Moonlight. Finish the opponent with an enhanced Brutal Incision, then reposition back using Shadow Escape's second cast.
As an additional tip, you can weave in a Camouflage Cloak before or after the combo. Before the combo, it will increase your damage by guaranteeing criticals. After the combo, you can safely reposition to find your next target!
