Pros	Cons
Massive Ranged and Melee Damage	Mana Consumption is High
Burning and Ignite Effects	Fights in melee Range
Tools to restore Mana and heal	No CC
Great AOE Farming and Boss Fighting	Limited Healing

This Staff and Spear DPS Build is great for AOE Group farming, thanks to its massive Elemental Damage from distance or close range. Farming in melee range though will make you vulnerable to attacks if you are solo. The Build consumes Mana fast but offers tools to restore it. While you do have a heal skill you can use, it offers limited healing and you will have to rely on Potions. A flexible Eradicator TL DPS Build for AOE farming and Boss fighting in Throne and Liberty!
