Throne and Liberty allows players to build their characters however they like, and by exchanging weapons and tweaking some stats, some have come up with the craziest possible mash-ups for their characters. One of the strongest builds currently rampaging through the PvE and PvP mega, is the Blademaster (Greatsword + Daggers) which is taking over the end-game by a storm.
This build not only offers mobility and high survivability but also has one of the strongest add-clear builds in the game, which is higher than most DPS builds, and also allows for some off-tanking in case things turn south in the Dungeons. So, let's take a look at how to construct this powerful combo, including which skills to prioritize and which weapon masteries are the best.

When picking up Greatsword and Daggers as main weapons, players will get access to tremendously powerful skills. that rely a lot on critical hit chances, but combine this with the powerful crowd control debuffs that the Greatsword skills have, and players will get even more chances to damage enemies in groups. For stat distribution, we will go with the following:
30 Strength (Strength increases overall weapon damage, HP, Defense, and Health Regen.) 29 Dexterity (Dexterity increases hit chance, critical hit chance, attack speed, evasion, and also boosts damage.) 20 Perception. (Perception increases hit chances, debuff chances, overall damage, and also increases the duration of buffs.)
Applying debuffs is a great way to deal accumulative damage and using the CC to gain advantage against groups of enemies. Since most of the PvE enemies we see in the game have a tendency to swarm this is a great build to counter the AI's annoying tactics. It also has its strong points in PvP in situations where contested zones are being camped by enemy players.
This build assumes that the player has reached the max level and has the right amount of Stats to distribute: a maximum of 49 Stat points at level 50.
With this combination, the Blademaster is capable of fighting fast, hitting hard, mitigating damage, and extending the duration of all buffs applied to them considerably.

Next, we will pick the best passive skills players should prioritize. Try to level them up equitatively, but put first skills like Cold Warrior and Assassin's Instincts, since they will be the main stars of the show.
Robust Constitution Vital Force Cold Warrior Raging Frenzy Indomitable Armor Assassin's Instincts Destructive Fang Wrathful Edge
We're aiming for a build that causes high damage based on the Thundercloud status effect, as well as the Cold Weaken effect caused by the Greatsword active skills specialization, so, next is picking up active skills and their right specializations.
For Weapon Masteries, players should pick the ones that pair better with Greatsword skills, but we highly recommend they follow the Face Off branch since it will grant higher rates of damage, stun and weaken chances, and cooldown reduction, and the Poison branch for Daggers, which greatly benefits this build with increased duration of debuffs, mana efficiency, and cooldown reduction.

In Throne and Liberty, weakening enemies is equal to cause certain status effects, that vary depending on the weapons players are using, and the specializations they add to their skills. In this case, Thundercloud and Cold will be the main status effects that we will prioritize to enhance the Greatsword damaging abilities and the Daggers accumulative damage effects. Let's take a look at all the active skills we should pick and their specializations:

With the high chance to cause the Cold and Thundercloud status effects, as well as access to high area damage, two stun-inducing Fury Attacks, and the powerful Guillotine Blade and Death Blow, this build will cause severe pain to enemies that surround the players, while also providing increasing damage the more time they spend around them.
On the downside, this build is considerably weak in one vs one PvP, but great as support CC in Group PvP, so keep this in mind before diving into Contest Mode Events and Raids.

This build has access to a lot of powerful buffs that increase attack speed and buff damage, so use them wisely. The star of the show is DaVinci's Chill, the improved version of DaVinci's Courage, which not only provides increased attack speed but also buffs damage, and provokes the cold status effect in enemies that surround the player. This, combined with the Umbral Spirit will also cause Thundercloud, more so if players use Ice Tornado.
For stronger opponents, try to start the fight by applying Fatal Stigma on a High Priority Target (Field Bosses, Dungeon Bosses, etc.) then Lightning Infusion, and following up with Cleaving Moonlight, then use Umbral Spirit to accumulate even more Thundercloud. This should trigger the Fatal Stigma Effect, and if there are enemies surrounding the selected targets, they'll also suffer the consequences of its detonation. This can cause some serious damage, and can also get critical hits, which will double the total damage caused.
Another good tactic is to round up enemies with quick Dagger attacks, then debuff them with Ice Tornado and Frost Cleaving, followed up by Devastating Smash and Guillotine Blade. This would cause some serious damage to the enemies and allow players to refocus on another group, by using the rest of the skills that cause Thundercloud. Fatal Stigma will soon turn into a staple source of damage, especially thanks to its AoE specialization, which is great for adding clear. The only concern players should have is their mana pool, but that can be fixed by replacing the passive with, which returns a lot of Mana and also offers some healing in return for using skills.
The Cruel Smite, Stunning Bow, and Death Blow combo plays a pivotal role in this rotation of Greatsword/Dagger skills, so having it ready every 6 seconds will help players deal finishing blows to specific targets, even more so if Cruel Smite turns into Heavy Attacks, which will also cause area damage to surrounding targets. In other words, players should always have access to one of these three rotations, and learn how to use them in sequence for maximum efficiency.
Best Gear For Greatsword and Daggers Combo In Throne and Liberty

Getting the right gear in Throne and Liberty can be tricky, especially since having the best gear can become a problem in the highly competitive end-game. With that in mind, let's take a look at the best gear for Greatsword and Daggers users, and how their stats benefit the Blademaster build:
Tevent's Warblade of DespairDexterity +3, Strenght +4, Stun Chance + 42 - Unique Skill: Tevent's Despair Trap: Upon applying Collision, Shock, or Stun with Greatsword Skills, an area with a 1.5m radius around the target will be created that explodes in 1.5s, dealing 325% of Base Damage. Rex Chimaerus's Fangs Dexterity +8, Weaken Chance + 117, Wildling Bonus Damage +8 Plate of the Field General Strength +2, Perception +1, Stun Chance +26 (Full set bonus: Melee Heavy Attack Chances +150 - Mobility Skills Range +10%) Helm of the Field General Perception +1, Stun Chance +37, Max Health +230 Gauntlets of the Field General Attack Speed +2%, Perception +4 Greaves of the Field General Strength +2, Dexterity +1 Sabatons of the Field General Movement Speed +2%, Strength +4 Eldritch Ice BandDexterity +4, Weaken Chance +58 Amber Dimensional Band Movement Speed +2.4%, Strength +1, Dexterity +2 Belt of Bloodlust Movement Speed +2%, Strength +2, Max Health +200 Collar of Decimation Strength +4, Melee Evasion +94 Bracers of the Primal King Perception +4, Bonus Damage 7
Consistently raising strength, Perception, and Dexterity, this set of items will increase even more the capabilities of the Blademaster kit. With increased Heavy Attack Chances and more Mobility Skill Range provided by the Field General Set bonus, the players will be able to reach further distances with their Devastating Smash to initiate combat, and thanks to the increased weakened and stun chances provided by these items, all CC effects will be greatly empowered.
The Tevent's Warblade of Despair unique skill will also come in handy to deal with greater groups of enemies, especially in advanced Dimensional Gate Tier 2 dungeons, where most adds cause severe damage if not controlled and killed fast. Finally, the extra Movement Speed provided by the Sabatons, the Dimensional Band, and the Belt of Bloodlust will come in handy for repositioning while players wait for the cooldown rotations to be active again.
