In Throne and Liberty, the Longbow Staff build combines the Longbow (ranged DPS) and Staff (magic DPS/support) for a versatile hybrid playstyle, excelling in sustained damage, crowd control (CC), and utility. Heres a breakdown of the build: Core Strengths High Burst + DoT: Longbow for single-target burst, Staff for AoE/DoT. CC Chains: Freeze (Staff) + roots/slows (Longbow) to control enemies. Mobility/Sustain: Staff offers healing/barriers; Longbow has evasion skills. Recommended Skills Longbow Skills (Focus: Damage/CC) Precision Shot High single-target damage. Pinning Shot Roots enemies (great for combos). Rapid Fire Sustained DPS. Evasive Shot Backstep + damage (mobility). Staff Skills (Focus: AoE/Utility) Arcane Blast AoE damage + knockback. Frost Vortex Freeze enemies (CC). Flame Wave DoT field. Healing Light / Barrier Survivability. Stat Priority Dexterity ( Longbow damage/crit). Intelligence ( Staff magic damage). Perception ( crit rate for both weapons). Optional: Sprinkle Wisdom for mana sustain if needed. Gear & Traits Weapons: - Longbow: Prioritize crit rate/damage. - Staff: Magic penetration or cooldown reduction. Armor: Light/Medium for balance ( mobility or defense). Traits: Look for "Hybrid Power" (boosts both phys/magic damage) or CC duration. Playstyle Tips Opener: Freeze with Staff swap to Longbow for burst. Kiting: Use roots/slows (Longbow) + Frost Vortex (Staff) to control melee enemies. Sustain: Use Staff heals/barriers when low. Counters & Weaknesses Melee Rushdowns: Weak against gap-closers (e.g., Daggers/Greatsword). Mana Hungry: Staff skills drain mana quicklymanage cooldowns. Alternatives Swap Staff for Wand for more healing/support. Replace Longbow with Daggers for melee hybrid burst. This build shines in PvE dungeons and small-scale PvP where CC and versatility matter. Experiment with skill combos to fit your playstyle! Would you like a specific rotation example or best-in-slot gear recommendations?

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.
