Recommended Weapon Combinations

Wand

The Wand is a strong choice to pair with the Longbow. Both weapons provide support to the team in various ways, while the Longbow still allows you to deal incredible damage. You can consider this set-up the “Healer” role of the game. This combination is vital in Guild vs Guild activities and as a result, is a highly recommended choice. Support your team with healing Skills from your Wand, while binding enemies and giving health regeneration and damage increases for your teammates!

Dagger

Daggers provide an interesting melee choice for the Longbow. This is due to the Daggers allowing the Longbow to utilize poison in battle. As a result, this also activates a couple of Dagger Passive Skills that increase your damage based on Poison being active. Finally, the Dagger provides a flat Critical Hit Damage buff through a Passive – which is incredible for the Longbow.

It is worth noting that the Dagger also provides a great engage tool in Shadow Strike, allowing you to bind opponents multiple times in a row!

Staff

The Staff is a little more unorthodox partner for the Longbow than other weapons. However, the Staff is a strong raw damage option, albeit on the selfish side for group-play. Passive Skills from the Staff increase Mana Regeneration and Maximum Mana, which plays a huge role in your overall damage output in a fight. Another great feature of the Staff is the addition of a great hard Crowd Control in Icebound Tomb. Finally, one of the best parts of the Staff is that the majority of its Skills are instant cast – allowing for a fast, mobile rotation that lets you focus on your Longbow play.

Crossbow

Crossbow is a natural partner for the Longbow. Though the Crossbow may be shorter range, it provides many great damage buff synergies that really allow the Longbow to shine. Passives such as “Piercing Strike” and “Eagle Vision” have perfect synergy with the Longbow. This is due to the raw damage increase you receive. A couple of Active Skills, such as “Mortal Mark” and “Thorn Gale” allow for instant damage boosts at the press of a button too!
