-The general PvE rotation starts with buffs like High Focus and Deadly Marker, followed by heavy-damage abilities such as Meteor and Focus Fire Bomb, aiming to maximize burn stacks for higher burst damage.
What is the strategy for managing cooldowns and skill priorities in boss fights?
-Players should prioritize using abilities as soon as they come off cooldown, starting with heavy-hitting skills like Meteor and Judgment Lightning. Maintaining buffs like Deadly Marker on cooldown is also critical.
How does weapon mastery work in this build?
-Weapon mastery applies based on the weapon being held when using a skill. For instance, if the player holds a staff while using bow skills, only bow masteries apply. Bow masteries work for bow skills, and staff masteries for staff skills.

๐ Introduction to Bow Staff Build Guide
The speaker introduces a comprehensive guide on the Bow Staff build, which is a long-range, glass cannon DPS build. While the build excels in large-scale PvP and PvE dungeons, it lacks defensive options, making it weaker in small-scale PvP. The speaker provides information on gear, skills, and rotations and invites viewers to ask questions in the comments or join their stream.
๐ฏ Gear Selection for Bow Staff Build
This section explains gear progression for the Bow Staff build, covering green, blue, and epic gears. The speaker outlines early game strategies for leveling up to 50, emphasizing the importance of upgrading gear with 'grow stones.' They recommend focusing on increasing stats like wisdom, mana, and crit for maximum damage. Crafting gear is essential, and prioritizing weapon stones before upgrading armor stones ensures effective stat gains.
๐ก๏ธ Transitioning to PvP and PvE Gear
Once players hit level 50, they must decide whether to focus on PvP or PvE gear. The speaker explains how blue gear can bridge gaps before obtaining epic gear. The recommended PvP weapon, the double key strafing bow, offers high attack speed and extra burst damage, while a different bow can provide greater critical hits and range benefits. Talus is noted as the best staff for PvE, though it is difficult to obtain.
๐ Prioritizing Stats for PvP and PvE
The speaker discusses how to prioritize stats for the build, recommending perception for PvP due to its ability to counter evasion-heavy builds. Strength and dexterity are also important for both PvE and PvP setups. The early game setup focuses on gaining stats through non-World boss items, with the belt being the only exception. The importance of heavy attack and critical hit percentages for this burst damage class is emphasized.
๐ ๏ธ Armor and Accessory Traits for PvP
For PvP armor and accessory traits, the speaker explains how different armor types (leather, cloth, plate) offer varying evasion benefits. Priorities for traits include skill damage boost, magic and range evasion, and maximum health. The importance of trading blue or epic gear based on availability and affordability is discussed, with specific examples such as the Reaper pants and Transcendent ring.
โ๏ธ Preparing a Dagger for Small-Scale PvP
The Bow Staff build is weak in small-scale PvP due to its lack of defense, but players can become viable by adding a dagger to their weapon rotation. This section recommends leveling a dagger for use with the bow and staff, making the player instantly viable for small-scale battles without changing other gear.
๐ Skill Priorities and Mastery Setup
The speaker provides a guide on skill priorities for the Bow Staff build. They recommend focusing on offensive skills and omnipotent books to upgrade skills efficiently. The strategy is to level all skills to level 3 first, as it offers significant damage increases. For mastery, the speaker suggests different setups for both bow and staff, maximizing damage and cooldown reduction.
๐ฅ Boss DPS Rotation Strategy
This section details the optimal DPS rotation for bosses. The rotation includes high-focus, deadly marker, and Hellfire rain for stacking burn effects, which significantly boost heavy attacks. The speaker outlines how to maximize damage output by properly sequencing skills, setting burn stacks, and managing cooldowns for consistent high DPS.
โก Efficient Mana Management
The speaker explains how to manage mana efficiently by using Nature's Blessing and Inner Peace to quickly restore mana during boss fights. This strategy ensures players can maintain high DPS without running out of mana, allowing for smooth rotation transitions.
๐น PvP Combat Rotation and Weapon Management
For PvP, the speaker offers advice on maximizing hit and evasion buffs during engagements. They suggest using flesh wave, Blitz, and tornado in combination to quickly disrupt and eliminate enemies. Weapon choice for PvP depends on the build level, with bows offering higher skill damage resistance at later stages.
๐ Weapon and Mastery Interaction
The speaker explains how weapon masteries work based on the weapon being held when casting skills. Masteries for bows apply only when bow skills are used, and the same goes for staff. They emphasize that weapon mastery does not cross over to other weapon skills, which is crucial for maximizing effectiveness in combat.
๐ ๏ธ Optimizing Settings for Combat
The speaker concludes by sharing tips on optimal settings for the game. These settings help improve targeting for AoE attacks, prevent accidental falls during PvP, and adjust camera angles for better visibility. These adjustments improve gameplay efficiency and combat effectiveness in both PvP and PvE scenarios.
๐ Conclusion and Community Engagement
The guide wraps up with the speaker encouraging viewers to leave comments or join their live streams on Twitch and YouTube for further questions and tips. They express gratitude for watching and invite the audience to engage with them directly for more personalized help.

Highlights
Bow Staff is a long-range glass cannon DPS build, best for large-scale PvP and PvE but weaker in small-scale PvP due to its lack of defenses.
In early game, leveling to 50 takes around 8 hours through questing, and green gear with high stats like wisdom and crit is essential for maximizing damage output.
As you upgrade gear, prioritize raising every armor piece to level 4 before pushing beyond for optimal stat gains, especially for decks and wisdom.
Focus on upgrading your main weapon first with grow stones, and ensure all gear is leveled evenly before prioritizing a single piece.
At level 50, PvP players should prioritize PvP gear while PvE-focused players should work on PvE gear, transitioning from green to blue gear as they progress.
When moving from blue to purple gear, focus on weapons like the double-key strafing bow for increased range and attack speed, and Talus for high damage and key defensive passives.
Perception is crucial in PvP, as it increases hit rate to counter opponentsโ evasion builds, making it a top priority stat alongside decks and strength.
For PvE, players should focus on traits like skill damage boost and attack speed on gloves, while in PvP, prioritizing hit and heavy attack on weapons is key.
Bow and staff builds can transition into dagger builds seamlessly, using the same setup and minimal additional investment for small-scale PvP.
Skills should be leveled to 3 across the board before pushing to 5 to maximize damage efficiency, especially focusing on flesh arrow, Blitz, and meteor early on.
For PvE, ensure positioning within 15 meters of your tank to receive the blow diversion buff, and prioritize high-damage skills like fire barrage and focus firebomb in rotations.
Mastery setup is crucial for maximizing damageโbow mastery should focus on bottom-line progression for PvP, while staff mastery focuses on burn damage and cooldown reduction.
In PvP, rotations focus on burst damage skills like flesh wave and Blitz, while defensive traits like hit and evasion buffs are essential for survival.
Attack settings should be optimized for auto-centering AOE skills on targets, and toggling certain settings can enhance efficiency, such as turning off 'easy charge' for better control.
Camera settings can be adjusted to improve visibility during high-ground engagements, particularly useful for ranged DPS players targeting opponents in elevated positions.
Transcripts
hey guys it's welps and welcome to my
bow staff build guide I'm going to try
to cover everything about this build to
get you ready for Global launch um from
Gears and skills rotation and everything
um but if I miss out something you can
always ask me in the comments or come to
my stream and ask as well B staff is a
long range glass Cannon DPS build it's
considered top tier in large scale pvps
and PVE the dungeons you are going to be
pretty weak in small scale pvps because
you have no defensive um that's what
glass Cannon is all about but it is
still playable you just kind of have to
kill them before they get to
you all right let's start with the gear
I'm going to be using my Bild page in
quest loock I'm going to have this link
in the description below make sure you
save it cuz I'm going to keep updating
this page for Global so I basically have
the early game green gear mid game blue
gear your late game um pre- Bas epic
gear and your full Bas EP pick
gear okay so let's start with the green
gear uh this is going to be your
leveling gear as you get to 50 leveling
in Throne is really easy it's all about
just questing following the quest
talking to NPC and it takes about
roughly 8 hours average to get to 50 and
you're going to be replacing all these
gears really soon after hitting 50 so
you could pretty much level with any
green gear but I still M Max for you um
my choice of gear is simply um the
pieces with with highest stat like
wisdom and when a piece doesn't have any
stats you want things like crit to
increase your
damage so here we have two wisdom Mana
reason is also really
important uh decks and
crit wisdom decks uh accessories don't
have much stats so you go with like
Health uh Mana regen Mana it's really
not important whatever um the reason
that we go with the stats is because
stat equals damage
you get all this gear by crafting um and
this crafting is really easy you learn
how to do it um by just doing a quest in
early game and you don't want to be
saving any grow Stones you want to be
upgrading your items as you get your
grow stones and to use them more
efficiently you want to First funnel
your weapon stones into one weapon I
recommend leveling your star first but
with the armor Stones um you want to get
every piece to level four first because
this your break point of where your for
armor gains additional stat so with this
glove um at zero is one decks you get
four now you get two decks you got six
it's still two decks so instead of
pushing from four to six it's better to
work on other piece to get to four and
get additional stat once you've done
that you make everything six um it will
increase the armor and increase like sub
stats like man regen accessories um
don't have any St stats so it's really
whatever and as you level you want to
put your step points into decks first
and then WID them after you put 20
points into a stat making it 30 base
stat because you start at 10 base stat
now requires you to spend two points per
stat like so so you stop putting points
into deck at this point and spend it on
wisdom and same thing after 20 points um
you just put it into
strength Okay so once you hit Level 50
um if you are a PVP player you go
straight into working on your PVP gear
or if you just want to focus on PVE or
maybe this is like your out uh you work
on the PVE gear and as you are working
on this epic gears uh the missing slots
you'll be filling in with the blue gears
so I've made a blue PVE gear and a blue
PVP gear and whenever you get your blue
upgrade you transfer your green into
blue and then start upgrading your blue
to nine and once it's at nine you want
to transfer your blue into purple
whenever you get your
purple now for the PVP weapon I've put
the um double key strafing bow but it
really comes down to your preference
double key strafing ball um gives you
long range and high attack speed with
his weapon passive giving you extra bur
damage um to low HP targets so when you
when you have longer range it's just
more convenient to play but you can
still use Kix with Kix you'll have 45
more max damage which is pretty big deal
and you lose bit of range but not much
because the passive is uh increasing
range by
9% and good thing about kic is that it
gives you also gives you more crit and
you can also use it for PVE is the best
bow for PVE before AR boss uh and for
your staff Talus is going to be your
best weapon but um it drops from a world
boss Talus so it's going to be quite
hard to get and expensive so until then
you're going to be using double key this
stuff used to be the best but um in
global version that range passive is
changing to cool down reduction so it
loses value Talos is going to be really
good because um it's got high damage
it's got decks and crit really good
stats and also the passive is going to
save you from a GS engage your hard cter
once they engage on you you're pretty
much Dead with the stone lock but it's
going to save you every um 60 seconds uh
the cool down is going to get increased
to 60 seconds in global so yeah and to
find out where to get these items uh you
can just click on it and then press um
viewing database it'll open up a new
window and it will show you um where you
get it
from the stats to prioritize is
perception because perception increases
hit and at 60 points it gives you
additional 120 hit hit is really really
important um in PvP pretty much every
build bu is going to be stacking evasion
so you need hit to counter that and then
you put some points into strength making
it 30 for the extra HP and you put
everything into
decks um this is my PVE early game setup
after 50 uh I labeled it as a early game
because all of these um you are able to
get it through Dungeons and like weekly
Quest non World boss items except for um
skulls but um it's because this is the
only item um and also the tyon that has
the stats on belt and they are both from
War Boss so until you get one of these
belts you can put whatever belt uh for
your PVE stats um same as leveling at
start you keep prioritizing decks and
wisdom and you put the remaining points
into strength until you get enough
points to make your strength 50 and
decks 60 at 50 strength it gives you
extra 100 heavy attack chance heavy
attack is really important for this
class of this build Al all your damage
is burst damage and heavy attack is
double damage of whatever damage you do
and then 60 Dex um because it gives you
extra 120 critical hit and Dex is also
the best stat for DPS it increases
attack speed crit maximum damage and
after 30 base St you're going to put
everything into wisdom and for PVE the
only traits you need um are those that
contribute to your DPS so skill damage
boost on your wings and necklace and
attack speed on your glove for PVP
traits for weapons you're going to work
on your hit and heavy attack
first and on your armors you're going to
be working on your magic and range
evasion now you can't just put magic and
range evasion on every item for example
um this is leather leather will have
magic and range evasion um cloth will
have Millie and magic evasion plate will
have mlie and ranged evasion so this is
the only cloth piece everything else is
leather so you um work on Magic and
range Evasion for your accessories
obviously um the skill damage boost is
priority and for your bracer and belt um
you want to work on your skill damage
resistance and Max Health as um next
priority and then your third will be
like buff dration and debuff dration so
now the real question is do I trade my
blue first or epic that really comes
down to how long you think it will take
for piece to be fully traded for example
Reaper pants this is a war boss drop
item and this boss doesn't even have a
ribstone is going to be your hardest
piece to get it's going to be really
expensive so in cases like this you'll
be using a blue pants same for the
Transcendent ring um tyen blood lust um
these are War Boss drops same as Talus
rest of the item is farmable they are
from either um cor dungeons or open
world dungeons on the weekly dungeon um
Quest pouch so they're going to be
fairly cheap so it's really up to you
whether you're going to be able to
afford to fully trade um not everything
but fully trade important traits like
skill damage boost and health evasions
on Armor the buff dation debuff duration
they can come later and this setup will
be more of a realistic early mid game
setup and as I mentioned earlier in the
beginning both stuff um is really weak
in small scale PVP uh because you have
no defensives but bow and Dagger and
staff and Dagger they are really good in
small scale and you pretty much uses the
same setup so for your third weapon
after you've um upgraded both bow and
staff you want to be leveling a dagger
and you are instantly viable you don't
have to change any gear and it doesn't
really have to be plus n fully traded
dagger you can have any dagger and just
start playing um B dagger stuff
dagger all right next moving on to
skills um you want to go into the skills
Tab and double click on my b Stu skill
priority and click on skill upgrade
priority um I could only use the skills
that are on these um hot bars so I've
placed the um like the important
offensive skills in there so just follow
these same for the passive and um the
ones that are not in there pretty much
low priority you can take it
slow and for the skills that require
omnipotent books um these four you want
to prioritize the flesh Arrow first and
then Blitz and then
metor and just to be more efficient with
your skill books uh when you get get all
your skills to Epic you don't want to
push all the way to level five um you
want to make every skill level three
first because at level three the
percentage damage goes up so if you look
at this viall um it's 160 160 and the
level three is 165 and then it goes up
again at level five and with the amount
of skill books you require to upgrade
from 3 to five You Can level like two
other skills from one to three so once
you get these skills into epic you make
make them into level three and then you
push five one by one for the B masteries
you want to work on your bottom line and
once you get the last Nord um you should
be at level 10 and that's when you
pretty much get the full potential of
the bow and then you slowly work on the
top row um to get the skill damage
resist 80 this is good for both PVP and
PVE stuff Mastery is bit different um
you take the middle row you get the
skill damage boost 40 and then you go
down um get the 10% burn damage and then
you go back to the middle take the 5% CD
um you should be at 13 here and then 14
15 and at 16 you un Lear these three and
get the last note on the bottom line uh
this gives you 5% magic
damage all right so I'm going to show
you the boss DPS rotation uh but first
you want to be positioned within 15 M of
your tank so you want to click on your
tank and below the name plate it's going
to have range so make sure you're within
15 M to receive the blow diversion buff
um from a GS this is when your tank is
ssgs all right so our opener is going to
be high focus it's going to increase the
CDR and you're going to have 45 Max
damage from a trait then you go into
deadly
marker and then you go into Medi
um we use the Hellfire rain on bosses
because bosses have um bigger hit box so
you're more likely to hit like almost
all medial like 12 medials and that's a
massive damage also you put more burn
Stacks to set up four other skills um
each burn stack is going to be 10 heavy
attack um from passive um flame
condensation so we can have up to 10
burn stacks and there going to be 100
heavy attack so after medior you go into
full charg Focus fire bomb
and that's going to apply five bur
Stacks so after that you're guaranteed
to have 10 bur stacks on a boss and the
focus firebomb itself is going to have
chance to um higher chance to heavy
attack because you already applied B
with the meteor uh next you go fire
barrage um it shoots more projectile
depending on the bur Stacks so we've
already set that up you're going to be
shooting 20 project doing maximum damage
and you're going to chain Thunder also
chain Thunder increases damage based on
burn Stacks so we've already set that up
semi judgement lightning higher the burn
stack higher the chance you proc the
second cast and then into Inferno this
one also requires Bon Stacks um you're
doing maximum damage with all these
abilities then you go strafing into
zepha knock you always want to try to
pay um strafe into zepha because the
strafing is going to apply uh Target
stack as well as the Gil stack so after
three cost of safing Target will have 10
Target stacks and two Gil stacks and
each Target stack is 5% damage so that's
50% and two Gil Stacks is 25% per stack
so that's 50% so you're doing 100% more
damage but if everything else is on cool
down and you only have Z up just use it
so that's your opener rotation from then
on it's whatever comes off cool down but
your priority will be when you have
multiple cooldowns available this always
comes first and then medial and then
judgment lining and of course you want
to use buff on cool down every time and
deadly marker every cool down also if
you're healer happen to be a b wand and
you're like the only stuff in the group
um you want to take this off and you
want to take the AOE uh you want to buff
your party with this so this is what the
rotation will look like
and when you're out of Mana you pop
Nature's Blessing into inner piece that
will get you to full Mana in like 2
seconds and you just move the cancel
back to your
rotation for PVP there's no real
rotation just on engage you want to pop
your Victorious energy for hit and
evasion buff
and you do full charge flesh wave use
Blitz to
reset and do another flesh
wave and then
tornado tornado is going to be
situational you're going to be using
tornado first or between your flesh wave
or last it doesn't matter it's always
situational and then your job is pretty
much done so from then on is you doing
your best to survive and killing targets
and for which weapons to hold in your
hand uh for PVP you want to hold bow to
have high up time on that skill damage
resistance but it's not going to matter
until you are level 16 and for PVE also
it doesn't matter you probably want to
hold your stuff because you're going to
be leveling your star first and also
you're going to have more manable procs
um so that's going to slightly increase
your DPS so but you barely Auto take in
boss fights so yeah it's really um not
much ultimately like it does does really
matter what you hold I will explain
briefly on how Mastery works and why
it's that important to hold um whatever
weapon you have when you are using a
skill you use a weapon of that skill so
when I'm holding stuff and using bow
skills my character is holding a bow so
for those bow skills it applies my bow
masteries because I was holding a bow so
basically all the B B masteries work on
B skills and all the staff masteries
work on staff skills your B masteries
does not work on your stop skills and
your stop masteries does not work on
your bow
skills this is my attack settings um I
have everything off um but for PVE um
it's best to have this on what this does
is that when you have Target selected
and you use like AOE skill like medial
it will always be centered um even if
you move your mouse it'll be centered if
you have the target selected so you're
going to hit most of your
metors turning off easy charge skill is
also really good you don't have to hold
down a button to charge a skill you just
have to press
once and it will fire automatically when
it's fully charged also you can press
once again to fire
early um prevent falling you only to
have this on whenever um you're in PvP
and you're taking that High Ground like
going on like a tree branch to shoot
down a Target um so you don't fall off
the tree
branch and when you have the prevent
falling on make sure you have all the
auto move to attack Target off so your
character doesn't work towards the
Target and fall
off in camera settings I make my
character on screen location y -3 um
this really helps with the
vision so you are able to see up ahead
better um you get better like vers ey
View
um also one of the hardest thing to do
in Throne especially as a b off um is
when you want to Target a range DPS
that's on high
ground and this also just makes it
easier to look
up all right that's it thanks for
watching if you have any more questions
um just leave a comment mment or just
pop into my stream I stream both on
Twitch and YouTube so I'll see you guys
there peace
