Best skills and specializations for Throne and Liberty Crossbow Dagger build

Crossbows and daggers are unique in this game, as they are used in a dual-wielding manner. When wielding these weapons, each attack has a chance for a subsequent off-hand attack.

As a result, skills involving crossbows and daggers can potentially produce an impressive 30-40 hits in a single second. However, the number of hits and off-hand attacks can be misleading in terms of the actual damage output.

This build can effectively eliminate grouped opponents by using strengthened AoE attacks. To achieve this, select abilities with the area of effect and mobility skills. Below are all the skills and specializations we recommend for this playstyle.

Lightning Infusion
Mother Nature's Protest

Crossbow Dagger Skill rotation explained

For Small Scale or Arena Player versus Player (PvP) situations, AoE bombing is not advised due to the ease with which opponents can easily target you during the attack. It's more effective to reserve skills like Selfless Diffusion and Nimble Leap for defensive purposes, particularly when you anticipate the enemy using CCs.

In Large Scale scenarios, the AoE Bomber route is a viable option, but its effectiveness tends to decrease as players acquire gear and enhance their defensive statistics.

The Crossbow Dagger build focuses on three primary stats in the game: Strength, Dexterity, and Perception. Players have 49 flexible Stat Points to distribute among these stats. After allocating 20 points to a single stat, it will require two points to increase it by one. It's recommended to avoid investing more than 20 points into a stat unless you're aiming for a specific breakpoint.

It is recommended to focus on obtaining bonuses by investing 10 Stat Points between 30 and 60. If you're going for Crossbow or Dagger proficiency, prioritize increasing Dexterity to enhance Critical Hit, Attack Speed, and Maximum Weapon Damage.
