The Sword and Shield also gives you self-healing when blocking furry attacks. The mastery tree of this type of weapon is divided into Provoke & Counter, Boss, and Collision ** . While it does not boast the highest burst damage, this weapon offers consistent damage output over time. You should consider pairing it with a Greatsword ** to get additional area-based dam
This is a powerful DPS weapon that relies heavily on mana for casting spells. The staff focuses on dealing damage through elemental effects like fire, water, and ice. It is effective at clearing large groups of enemies in the same place, and is a heavy attack weapon giving you bigger bursts. Take advantage of applying and exploiting elemental debuffs to maximize its damage out

**Throne and Liberty ** , developed by NCSoft and published by Amazon Games in the US, has a bit of a troubled history behind it. Originally announced in 2011, it was intended to be a sequel to the groundbreaking Lineage series, built on decades of immersive online RPGs. But the project was delayed multiple times, eventually splintering off into an original piece of IP, and being rebranded Throne and Liberty in 2
This is a really cool concept, and offers something different from the usual AoE-avoiding that comprises your average MMO’s sole defensive maneuver. With the right application, this parrying system could make certain battles more exciting, but ultimately, **** it just amounts to another piece of UI you have to keep an eye on. It can be distracting from the offensive aspects of combat, and doesn’t live up to its fullest potential in the current version of the game. That's compounded by the otherwise stock-standard MMO combat fare - nothing to write home ab
This weapon also has decent mobility options, and can apply debuffs on enemies, increasing the damage output. Your defensive skill while using the Crossbow is a dodge roll, allowing you to take opponents down as you evade their attacks. You can pair this weapon with a Dagger to get a mobility advantage and effectively eliminate single targ
Some of the leveling up in Throne and Liberty is done through experience points and increasing stats, but a lot of it is also done by crafting upgrades. You rack up a ton of crafting materials just by playing through the campaign - different materials are used for upgrading weapons, equipment, accessories, and skills. I rarely found myself having to scramble for the necessary materials to reach the next level, but did quickly discover that you really need to spend all the crafting materials you get in order to stay competiti
You can, however, buy Lucent. This is an in-game premium currency used at the Auction House. Players can list their high-level gear and sell it for Lucent, essentially generating real-life cash. In theory, players will be able to instantly purchase powerful gear for money. However, having taken a look at the in-game auction house and read about some of NCSoft’s future plans for it, this isn’t really the c
As for the game itself, one of the things that most interested me was the class system. Rather than a standard build of 'Rogue' or 'Warrior' or 'Mage', every character dual wields. You can choose to make this consistent (my preview character was an all magic build of Wand and Staff), or mix and match, pairing Dagger with Staff, Crossbow with Greatsword, Sword and Shield with Longbow, or any combination thereof. This makes playing the game more varied, and offers greater flexibility when approaching dungeons. As far as Amazon and NCSoft are concerned, it might be their ace in the h
Both NCSoft and Amazon have already proven that they’re willing to put in the work to make this game better. Combat overhauls, skill system overhauls, performance overhauls: Throne And Liberty News and Liberty has really gone through the works over the past year. If the western launch of the game is successful - which I have a feeling it will be, people are always desperate for a new MMO to play - we should see ongoing support for T&L well into the fut
I told the duo that I had requested Wand and Staff for my own playthrough at the behest of one of TheGamer's resident MMO expert, and they laughed - clearly, the team behind Throne & Liberty is aware of the importance of the mage class to MMO history, and the natural curiosity players will have for it here when magic usage is far more flexi
This is one of the best weapons in the game because it can taunt tanks in both PVE and PVP and crowd-control enemies. It is an ideal choice if you want to simultaneously attack and defend yourself from attacks in the game. You can use your shield for active blocking to prevent incoming damage, use the charge attack to stun an enemy and increase the damage reduction for both you and your pa
Depending on the rarity level of your item, it will require different rarities of Growthstones. Here are all the Growthstones and which corresponding rarities they are used for. We have included the "Weapon" style growthstones, but the same goes for each item t
