The Throne and Liberty Sword is a fairly versatile weapon designed with the holy trinity tank in mind, useful in both PvE and PvP the Sword And Shield excels at both types of content. The Sword truelly shines in GvG content though where the user can tank insane amounts of damage for their team while also using binds, pulls and pushes to bring the enemy closer to their own dps.
Throne and Liberty Sword
The Throne and Liberty Sword offers a high level of base defense while maintaining a scary amount of damage, allowing sword users to make or break formations and turn fights. Designed to force their way in or out of team formations. The Throne and Liberty Sword can also force enemies to attack into your counter barrier causing massive damage.
Weaknesses
As it is supposed to be a tanking weapon the Sword And Shield has no obvious glaring weaknesses besides a supposedly intended weakness against certain Staff spells like the Judgement lightning which will deal damage even through block/reflect with no problem causing serious issues for tanks fighting against proper Staff players who know what they are doing. We suggest either staying away from staff users or stunning them as quickly as possible using collision or your secondary weapon like a greatsword or Dagger.
Role
The Throne And Liberty Sword allows players to take large amounts of damage without dying, the sword can be used to tank both PvE and PvP content. The Sword and shield can increase any offhands survivability due its high defensive passives and shield block chance negating any and all damage. Push into enemy lines and cause major frustration amongst their players!
Weapon Mastery Path
- Provoke & Counter: Designed for a balanced increase in defense and offense.
- Boss: Added extra health and minor damage boosts
- Collision: Increase health and damage mitigation.
With the Sword And Shield you can make a case for all the 3 weapon mastery trees although we suggest going with the top tree for PvP as of right now due to the current meta, Damage reduction is also a major component of the sword and shield so getting extra within the mastery tree is a major plus.
PVE
The Sword And Shield holds a major place in most dungeon based PvE being the only weapon in the game helping players hold boss or other agro, almost every dungeon party will need at least one meaning dungeons slots are easy to get especially with the new system allowing you to queue as a tank directly.
