In Throne and Liberty, your build depends on your preferred playstyle, weapon combination, and role (DPS, Tank, Support). Heres a breakdown of key build elements: Weapon Combinations (Dual-Wield System) You can equip two weapons and swap between them. Popular combos include: Greatsword + Bow (High burst melee/ranged flexibility) Dagger + Wand (Assassin/mage hybrid) Staff + Sword & Shield (Mage with survivability) Crossbow + Greatsword (Ranged DPS + melee finisher) Each weapon has unique active/passive skills and synergizes differently. Stat Allocation Focus on stats that enhance your weapon pair: Strength (STR) Greatsword, Sword & Shield Dexterity (DEX) Dagger, Bow, Crossbow Intelligence (INT) Staff, Wand Attunement (Awareness) Ranged accuracy/crit (Bow/Crossbow) Constitution (CON) Tankiness (Sword & Shield, Greatsword) Example Builds: Greatsword DPS: STR > DEX/CON Bow/Crossbow Ranged: DEX/Attunement Staff Mage: INT > CON (for survivability) Skills & Rotations Greatsword: High burst (e.g., Raging Slash + Whirlwind) Bow: Kiting/DoT (e.g., Poison Arrow + Rapid Fire) Staff: AoE nukes (e.g., Meteor + Arcane Blast) Sword & Shield: Taunts + shields (tank role) Pro Tip: Mix mobility (e.g., Daggers Shadow Step) with burst skills. Gear & Traits Prioritize weapon-specific traits (e.g., Bow crit chance, Staff spell power). Armor: Light (DPS mages/ranged), Medium (hybrid), Heavy (tanks). Runes/Gems: Boost primary stats (e.g., STR gems for Greatsword). PvP vs. PvE Builds PvE (Dungeons/Raids): Sustain/AoE (e.g., Staff + Sword & Shield for mage/tank). PvP (Open World/GvG): Burst/CC (e.g., Dagger + Wand for stealth + debuffs). Sample Builds Greatsword + Bow (Hybrid DPS) Stats: STR > DEX Skills: Whirlwind (GS) + Poison Arrow (Bow) Role: Melee burst + ranged kiting. Staff + Wand (AoE Mage) Stats: INT > CON Skills: Meteor (Staff) + Healing Wave (Wand) Role: Nuker with backup support. Sword & Shield + Crossbow (Tank/Utility) Stats: CON > DEX Skills: Shield Bash + Explosive Bolt Role: Tank with ranged pressure. Final Tips Experiment with weapon combossome skills synergize unexpectedly. Adjust stats for solo vs. group play (e.g., more CON for solo). Watch for skill morphs (upgraded versions at higher levels). Would you like a build tailored to a specific weapon or role?

Venture into the depths of Azeroth itself in this groundbreaking expansion. Face new threats emerging from the planet's core, explore mysterious underground realms, and uncover secrets that will reshape your understanding of the Warcraft universe forever.
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.
