THRONE AND LIBERTY | TIER 1 BUILD GUIDE | Greatsword & Staff

[@mayc8160]

Of all the combinations I've tried, this one seems the most fun to me. Please don't get obsessed with whether it's a 'meta' class or not. This changes with patches; what's meta today might not be tomorrow. Play whatever you enjoy the most. And I know for sure that this is my class. I'm a PC player, but by the way, I play with a DualSense controller, and the vibrations feel amazing

[@bobbylonghorn1399]

I can actually pull the bosses off the tank with my dps

[@akn_9220]

Can you do an update guide for PVE?

[@Steadyriot-is4jg]

Jesus christ this build looks good. Its gonna take me a century to get the gear though lmao, good to see some greatsword/staff builds finally. All I see is wand/dagger gs/dagger sns/greatsword ect builds. Just humping the most absolute meta build creations. This one looks nice, and is different.

[@Zardos00R]

Glad you enjoyed the build guide!!

[@marcelmurphy4179]

OH WOW WHAT A GREAT AND HELPFUL GUIDE GREAT JOB

[@jajm-1991]

I have been following this build and when i saw the gear was updated on the questlog page I almost got a hearth attac. Them I realized that the items that changed are all ones I haven't still get, OP! Love this build, everyone on my guild call me the weird build guy them we did a guild pvp event and everyone was surprises the burst and mobility on this shit! xD

[@ConquerorAR]

this works amazing in PVP ! now much better in arena, any guides for PVE ?

[@Zardos00R]

Working on it

[@SonOfGodVitalion]

can you do a blue gear guide

[@nicoheck5675]

Great to See that good work! Iam kinda Late but wanna start the Game this weekend. Is there also a Guide or a questlog link for Blue Gear b4 we Transition to purple?

[@m3ller922]

It would be nice to see some tests like when you in evasion build and then endurance, for understanding + and - both of them, o just in speaking way explain😄

[@mrbigpeter9614]

Her Zardos, I have noticed during your livestream that you are using different skills during Arena from the ones shown on the previous videos, for example, willbreaker, ice tomb and only the GS omnipotence skill with charge. Could you also update the skill build on the questlog link? That would be awesome! Keep the good work!

[@Zardos00R]

Check out my most recent video on PVP build guide

[@m_0rx]

love your content

[@Zardos00R]

[@thestr33t41]

Hello! Thx for the video, it helps a lot and also it gives you insight to understand the type of class you play and what is good for but the middle part is missing. Blue to purple. My strategy is max weapon(traits), max armor then last max accesory. Is this a good path to follow? Do you suggest using purple accesories over full trait blue just to reach 50 str 40 dex 50 per?

[@Zardos00R]

Blue always goes first. You save a ton load of lucent

[@thestr33t41]

@@Zardos00R Thx for the reply. Yea, it goes first but once you achive full traited blue gear, whats next? Is it max weapons, armor and the last accessories?

[@Nick.humes18]

I’ll try it tonight

[@picantejoker00tv30]

Hey zard, it s better have 50 strong 50 def 60 per or 60 strong 40 dex amd 60 perp? Dex give the extra critic chance, what you max?

[@antisocialmotorist6909]

Wanted to ask your thoughts on natures set 2/4 the weakness duration? Do you think its worth it even more so later stacking with the other set bonus that increases burn damage ticks? Been testing random gear set combos and find the most damage per sec comes from a fully stacked burn tick, even if you lose a fight the burn tends to finish people off. Even more so if you get an AOE fireball spam on several people you can see the thousands of tick damage.

[@richardvang7228]

What do you mean when you mention that the morokai greatswoprd would be better when using it with the barrier?

[@lil_zimmie]

Do you have any Staff recos you can replace Talus for the meanwhile?

[@_Ikelos]

thoughts on the Gatekeeper Greatsword for phase 2? dash > smokescreen > dash > spin > stun >etc. ?

[@Zardos00R]

Depends really. Spin skill is kinda bad tbh

[@rashash9954]

Hello, I literally created an alt because of your clips and wanted to try out Staff/GS it was miserable during leveling I ran out of mana at the speed of light hope its not gonna be an issue later on. I was just wondering is there a good replacement for Talus staff ? is Umbramancer good ?

[@CAEeQuilibium]

Yes umbra is great and so is Toublek. Use Inner Peace from staff

[@Steadyriot-is4jg]

there's a passive that regens your mana on hit, I literally NEVER run outa mana NEVER ...

[@itsmethemario8846]

Question: how do you sustain mana with this build as the fight drags on? This build burn through all of my mana pretty quick (no pun intended)

[@Zardos00R]

Mana regn is you're best friend you want to aim for 700-800 mana regen alongside food buffs that increase it as well.

[@jajm-1991]

I just found that the build was changed back to include items are not even on the game (at least on global version) are these items dropping soon?

[@Zykrom]

Sir why endurance rather than evasion please explain

[@dragonclaw445]

i'm have so much fun playing GS and staff...tbh i don't feel like trying others combinations...people saying it's not meta or not good....i dont care.

[@bathtub-t5y]

Im assuming u will do a pve armor build

[@noone3550]

@zardos00 how would you rate this in terms of dps compared to the meta classes?

[@Zardos00R]

The damage will be lower then dagger/xbow and longbow/staff but the damage is quite good. Some crazy good burst dps

[@noone3550]

​@Zardos00R and why pick endurance over evasion? I saw a korean player and he prioritized evasion instead but couldn't figure out why.

[@Wrecktzy]

Hey zardos what guardian do we use? For this build

[@Zardos00R]

Depends really. Green ranger, revenant and lady knight

[@Trignial]

Is gs/staff purely for pvp? Or can gs/staff be good for pve as well?

[@UndoneCorruption]

it has extremely high burst damage. i suggest making a quick slot for it with aoe focused fire bombs, double cast judgement lightning (transfer + no dmg loss) and chain lightning (linger) for ur aoe clear, and then devastating > ascending > charged guillotine as your single target (and obv stunning hit + death blow to follow up). its not required as any decent staff/GS build (even pvp oriented) can do good in PvE

[@HeraWinER]

No evasion?

[@Zardos00R]

Nope. Not needed late game

[@3flank424]

I like 1v1ing do you think this is better than staff wand/staff dag for 1v1?

[@Zardos00R]

hmmm depends. All those are strong for 1v1s. They just play different

[@3flank424]

@@Zardos00R ended up just going staff gs, couldnt get passed the gs sanguine skin 😂

Hey Zardos, what are your toughts about skillfull shock bracelet (the pvp one)? Ty for the content!

[@Zardos00R]

It is a good option for PVP. Of course!!!

[@nfc14g]

Is hit chance more a pop stat? I don't notice missing mobs hardly ever

[@Steadyriot-is4jg]

yeah, I think hit chance is more important for pvp ... people stacking melee evasion will be easier to hit.

[@ozoz6571]

Curious i see lot of build without evade from magic or melee or range is it rly useless in pvp ?

[@Zardos00R]

Evasion falls off late game. Evasion is strong early game where most players builds still suck with hit chance

[@ozoz6571]

@@Zardos00R Ty for the reply appreciate your answer the math are still on search on my side to find out how to build things. I imagine when you it some numbers the most interresting thing to get is dmg reduction and stats isnt it ?

[@kcyroh]

idk where you got your armor our in global are different I want to copy your build

[@Zardos00R]

All this gear is open and farmable in Global

[@shblade5984]

Is that belt really better than the belt of bloodlust, has only 25hp less but has 4 str? I feel like the flat 12 DR won't make much of a difference or am I wrong?

[@Zardos00R]

You are stacking up to 40 DR on the build. Which is quite good

[@BeroGun]

I'm trying to turn staff/longbow to staff/greatsword is it easy or starting new character?

[@DeAnavarr]

Do you know any content creators like yourself that can breakdown a solid gs/dagger build like you?

How do you gain more attributes after lvl 50? I’m stuck and can’t get near 50 in one and 40 in another

Put up to 30 with Skill Points. Rest comes with set

i want to try using morokai blade but i will lost a alot dex hmmm

change the head into Heavenly Arbiter Mask you‘ll get same dex， much more hit chance

[@Zardos00R]

@@zhihanxue9534 pretty sure the arbiter mask only gives Critical attack and 6 dex. It would be nice if it gave it a hit tho

Bro, if you on "Global AGS" servers like me, the talus staff has 1 less dex and less damage. You made the build based on ncsoft servers settings on questlog, just to let you know

[@Zardos00R]

Yeah it gonna be down one dex but it shouldn't affect the build at all. Just lower 1 dex from the build
