Crossbow and Dagger DPS Build Pros and Cons Throne and Liberty

This is a great Build if you enjoy fast paced combat, high mobility and deadly Poison attacks! The Build relies on speed and attack speed to destroy enemies fast. All your Skill combos focus on boosting your damage with mobility skills and poisoning your targets. Like this you can move around and melt enemies faster. The Build has a moderate to high Mana consumption but nothing you cannot handle with potions and Mana Exchange.

To deliver your damage reliably you will have to stay relatively closer to your target, which might expose you to danger. Also the Build lacks a reliable self heal method, other than Potions. Since its base Health is rather low, you will have to be extra careful in harder PVE content.
