Patch 11.0.5 Now Live
Major balance changes to all classes, new dungeon difficulty, and holiday events are now available. Check out the full patch notes for details.
In Throne and Liberty, the Bow and Dagger build is a high-mobility, burst-damage setup that excels in hit-and-run tactics, stealth, and single-target elimination. Heres a breakdown of how to optimize this build: Core Strengths High Burst Damage: Bow for ranged initiation, Dagger for close-quarters execution. Mobility/Stealth: Dagger skills (e.g., invisibility, dashes) complement Bows kiting potential. PvP Viability: Deadly in ambushes and duels; struggles in prolonged fights or AoE-heavy scenarios. Recommended Skills Bow Skills (Ranged DPS/CC) Snipe High single-target damage (prioritize upgrades). Poison Arrow DoT for sustained pressure. Multishot AoE clear for PvE (swap for Knockback Shot in PvP). Evasive Shot Backstep + damage (key mobility tool). Dagger Skills (Melee Burst/Utility) Shadowstrike Gap closer + high damage. Backstab Bonus damage from behind (synergizes with stealth). Cloak of Shadows Invisibility for repositioning/escapes. Blade Dance AoE spin (optional for PvE; replace with Execute for PvP). Stat Priority Primary: Dexterity (increases Bow/Dagger damage, crit chance). Secondary: Agility (attack speed, dodge) or Stamina (survivability). Tertiary: Crit Damage or Penetration (for burst). Gear & Traits Weapons: - Bow: Prioritize Crit Rate/Damage or Attack Speed. - Dagger: Raw Attack Power or Penetration. Armor: Light/Medium for mobility (e.g., Assassins Set for crit bonuses). Traits: Look for "Stealth Duration+", "Backstab Damage+", or "Bow Range+". Playstyle Tips Opener: Start with Bow (Snipe/Poison Arrow) to soften targets from range. Engage: Use Daggers Shadowstrike or stealth (Cloak of Shadows) to close gaps. Burst: Chain Backstab + Blade Dance for melee combo. Disengage: Evasive Shot or stealth to reset the fight. PvE: Kite with Bow, use Dagger for elite mobs. Weaknesses to Mitigate Squishy: Avoid getting crowd-controlled; use mobility to stay unpredictable. Energy Management: Bow skills consume mana; balance with basic attacks. AoE Limitations: Focus on priority targets in group fights. Alternatives Swap Dagger for Sword for more sustain (less burst). Replace Bow with Crossbow for heavier single-target focus. This build thrives in solo play, ganking, and PvP skirmishes. Adapt skill choices based on your preferred content (PvE dungeons vs. open-world PvP). Would you like recommendations for specific gear sets or rotations?

The War Within brings so much fresh content to WoW. The new zones are absolutely stunning and the storyline is engaging. Been playing for 15 years and this expansion reignited my passion for the game.
The new raid content is fantastic with challenging mechanics. However, there are still some bugs that need to be ironed out. Overall a solid expansion that keeps me coming back for more.
