The Brutal Glass Arrows ranger combines the preparation Glass Arrows with the
Ritualist weapon spell Brutal Weapon to apply continuous amounts of
high damage with a minimum amount of time re-applying
preparations.
[edit] Attributes and Skills
[edit] Equipment
- Scout's Insignia or Brawler's Insignia if you feel the need for
defense, Radiant insignia otherwise.
- A Vampiric Recurve or Short Bow and a Sundering Short or
Recurve bow.
To use this build, maintain Glass Arrows at all times. When
you're about to engage a foe, cast Brutal Weapon on yourself, then
use Forked Arrow followed by Dual Shot for a quick spike, then
simply shoot them until Forked Arrow and Dual Shot recharge. Repeat
as necessary until foe is dead, maintaining Glass Arrows and Brutal
Weapon.
If there is a Bonder on your team, tell them to not bond you
unless its absolutely necessary.
[edit] Variants
- RA Variant: Use Troll Unguent and take one level away from
Communing to put into Wilderness Survival
- TA Variant: Use Antidote Signet to keep yourself clean so your
healer can focus on healing you.
- Use Needling Shot to apply constant DPS after
spikes.
[edit] Counters
- Hexes such as Faintheartedness will prevent Forked Arrow
from triggering and will slow your damage output
- Missing from Blind or hexes
- Blocking, to a lesser extent; you will still make them
bleed.
This build was inspired by the name of Build:R/any_Brutal_Glass_Spiker
however that build does not combine Brutal Weapon and Glass
Arrows.
