Summary
Throne and Libertyoffers manydifferent kinds of weapons. The Longbow is seen as one of the two main choices for players looking to play a Support, with the other being the Wand and Tome. However, the Longbow is also great in a lot of DPS builds thanks to its easy access to both healing and mana recovery.
Players who wish to pursue a more damage-focused ranged option might want to turn their gaze to the Staff or the Crossbow, but these will offer a different experience to the builds that make use of the Longbow. It is best to try out all weapon combinations early on in the game before players start investing heavily intotheir chosen two weapons.
1Warden
Longbow + Sword and Shield
When a player throwsskills from the Sword and Shieldweapon into their build, they will experience a spike in how tanky their character will be. The longbow also grants self-healing, and mana regeneration for a character with great survivability.
There are easier classes to play, and this gives an otherwise melee option plenty of range and sustainability. This class works especially well in a group of other players. The Sword and Shield is an amazing weapon to pair with any other weapon when making a tank. Almost all ofthe best tank builds in the gamewill make use of the Sword and Shield as a weapon choice.
2Scout
Longbow + Crossbow
The Longbow and the Crossbow are two great long-range weapons that work even better together. The Crossbow has plenty of amazing Skills such asMother Nature’s ProtestandMana Exchangethat allow for amazing synergy with the Longbow to make for an artillery playstyle. Players will not have a lot of mobility, so they will need to know where they can run the moment things get dangerous — as this is a notoriously glassy build.
Players will stand in place and rain down massive amounts of damage wherever their frontlining allies need. Players wanting to take their ranged DPS to a whole new level should look into playing a Scorpion. This is a very hard build to use optimally but willperform incredibly well in PvP game modes.
3Seeker
Longbow + Wand and Tome
This build combines two of the best healing weapons into one of the best healing options in the game. This build offers plenty of buffs for its allies, as well as healing for every situation.Each stat has an important part to play, and players will want to heavily invest in Wisdom.
This build has several shortcomings. It has low damage output, low movement, and is glassy. This means players will want all the aggro on their allies, while they act as rear support. Despite all of its shortcomings, the Seeker remains one ofthe best Support build choicesinThrone and Liberty.
4Ranger
Longbow + Greatsword
Players who want to deal plenty of damage and heal up afterward might want to look to the Ranger. The Ranger does not have as much defense as other melee-focused builds, but the longbow grants self-healing and mana recovery.
This can allow them to charge in, deal massive burst damage, and then recover while reading for their next assault. This build does offer some area of effect crowd control, but not so much AoE damage, so it is best to focus on a single target at a time.
5Infiltrator
Longbow + Daggers
Players who want to spike their critical hit game will want tothrow Daggers into the mix. Daggers will provide plenty of escape and mobility, which balances out how glassy the build will be.
Players will be able to deal out massive single-target damage and then relocate, or continuously deal damage behind the safety of their allies. Players can also make use of their Longbow skills to help patch up allies and act as a utility healer when notacting as a DPS. This allows the build to be incredibly versatile to help finish off enemies and patch up allies on the brink while remaining mobile.
6Liberator
Longbow + Staff
Another option for playing an artillery playstyle will be to pair theskills of a Staffalongside those of the Longbow. Players can provide continuous damage to support their allies as a DPS, but they will not be able to take much damage. This is also a build that will not have as much of a safety net, so they will want to always have a path to fall back on or have their allies acting as a buffer between them and their enemies.
The Liberator is a class that does not work too well in small-scale PvP or PvE, but it excels unbelievably well in large-scale PvP, also known as Guild vs. Guild — which includes game modes like Castle Siege.
