Staff Active Skills

Active Skills in Throne and Liberty go on your skill bar and can be cast to affect both enemies and allies. Currently, there are 12 total Active Skills usable at one time. These 12 skill slots are shared between both of your weapons when making a build. As a result, choose wisely!

The Staff Active Skills are centered around damaging, crowd controlling and burning your opponents. While primarily being used for damage, the Staff also has access to hard crowd controls such as freezing due to ice spells. Below is a list of all the Active skills for the Staff.

Recommended Weapon Combinations

Wand

The Wand is a match made in heaven for the Staff. This is due to several factors. First, the Staff and Wand share the same damage archetype; Magic Damage. As a result, this makes for an easier time gearing up and figuring out what stats you want on your items. Another big factor for weapon synergy comes from the Wand’s Curse Explosion Skill. Curse Explosion takes into account every DoT type in the game, this includes Curses, Poison – and Burning! Staff brings the heat, focusing on burn stacks to deal maximum damage.

Longbow

Longbow serves as a strong, but selfish partner to the Staff. This combination is for when you’re given the freedom to be a raw Damage Dealer.
