[edit] Equipment

  • Best Vigor rune possible.
  • Druid's armor is higly recommended, due to the extra energy.
  • A 20/20 Sundering Shortbow of Fortitude with a +5 energy mod is higly recommmended.
  • Note* The sundering Preffix is not necessary, you can replace it with any you would rather like.

[edit] Usage

  • Pick a target (usually a monk or other caster) and get close to it to shorten your arrow travel times and to interrupt faster, once you do, start with Gale, follow with Hunter's Shot pressed simultaniously with Tiger's Fury and then use Poison arrow for a health degeneration of 7. Now pay attention to what the foe will be casting and time your interrupt carefully use savage shot on spells like Meteor Shower etc. because they have a long recharge time and distracting shot is not need for extra recharge time, So always save Distracting Shot for important skills.
  • Use Gale often, not only to trigger the bleeding from Hunter's Shot, but just to knock your foe down for 3 seconds.
  • When a warrior or other melee attacker attacks you,if you do not have a monk, use pin down and run until he switches target, if he doesn't use Hunter's Shot and Poison arrow and degenerate him to death.
  • Use Poison as a cover for the bleed, because poison arrow is a cheap in-expensive and short recharge skill while Hunter's Shot needs knockdown or movement.

[edit] Counters

  • Empathy, Spiteful Spirit etc.
  • Any kind of damage, this build has no self heal so this build is NOT recommended for the RA(Random Arena's).

[edit] Variants

  • Replace Pin Down with Debitalitating Shot for some Energy Denial.
  • Replace Resurrection Signet with any skill you want for use in AB(Alliance Battles)
  • Mix in Troll Unguent for a self heal. This is recommended in the RA(Random Arena's)because having a minimal self heal in the random arena's is neccesary.
