The Prepared Shot Ranger is always prepared via Apply Poison. It then
uses the Marksmanship energy management skill, Prepared Shot, to
allow itself to skimp on Expertise for more offense, allowing it to be a
versatile and hard hitting ranger with excellent endurance. This is
a boon in lengthy battles, where the Ranger is designed to
operate.
[edit] Attributes and Skills
[edit] Equipment
- Armor: Your choice. You could go all energy, or you could go
with Scout's
armor due to your preparation use.
- Weapons: Suggested you use a poison bow generally and a
crippling bow when you use Pin Down. Use a Silencing bow if you're using Concussion
Shot. Choose between a shortbow for a faster firing rate, or a
recurve bow for a little more range and flight speed. Finally, a
longbow for max distance shots.
- Keep Apply
Poison upon yourself during combat, being sure to spam Prepared Shot every
six seconds for additional damage and energy.
- Snare enemies using Pin Down. With your high Marksmanship, and a
crippling modifier, you can keep your target perma-snared and then
some.
- Interrupt enemies with Savage Shot. You should be able to spam this
ability with the energy management from Prepared Shot. You
will also be doing considerable damage if interrupting spells.
- Use Screaming Shot every eight seconds to move -7
degen amid enemies.
- To selectively spike a squishy target, spam Savage Shot, Prepared Shot, and
Screaming
Shot. With your 15 (or 16) Marksmanship and the damage
modifiers from these three shots, you will be able to do a
considerable amount of damage in a short amount of time.
- Remove harmful conditions with Mending Touch.
- Use Natural Stride for both a speed-boost and a
reflexive counter to being attacked.
- Heal yourself and counter health degeneration with Troll
Unguent.
- In AB, and you find yourself fleeing from an enemy (such as a
shadow stepping assassin), use Pin Down to run.
[edit] Counters
- Hex degen cannot be removed via Mending Touch, and will counter
the regen from Troll Unguent.
[edit] Variants
- This build works very well on Heroes due to the "spamming"
nature all heroes seem to fall under, as they will "Spam" Prepared Shot.
- The extra armor from Scout's armor is only in effect when
activating a preparation, not when you're under its
effects.
- The Nevermore Flatbow is a good weapon for this
build
