Stat Priorities

Throne And Liberty: Staff Beginner Build Guide (9)

The Staff is generally played as a ranged damage dealer. Regardless of which weapon you choose, you'll want to focus on getting Dexterity to 30 first, followed by 30 in Wisdom or Strength.

Assign points to reach specific breakpoints, 30 points in a particular stat gives extra bonuses, any additional points allocated cost more.

  • Dexterity provides Damage, Crit Chance, Evasion, and Attack Speed.
  • Wisdom provides Damage, Cooldown Speed, and Mana Regen.
  • Strength provides Max Health and Max Mana.
  • Perception provides minor boosts that are more important for end-game PvP.

For your equipment, don't worry too much about which stats you have on your gear. After crafting a full set of Uncommon green gear, upgrade it to max, and transfer those into Rare blue gear and then upgrade these to max.

Once you start obtaining Epic purple gear, you'll need to solidify exactly what role and weapon combo you want to play, as it becomes very costly to change. This can also drastically change depending on if you want to PvE or PvP.
