Nice! Would you mind sharing your feat loadout please?

You probably have the best movement from all the CWs I have seen. Also you seem to have little issues with shard disappearing from being CCed or getting stuck in the environment, and even the cast time seems faster. Heh. One thing that puzzles me is Severe Reaction, you didn't take it? I feel it's essential for PvP, whenever I tested it my survivability went up dramatically.
Anyway, what happened to this CW? Did you retire it completely?
I know it will be a silly question but... how did you zoom out the camera to have such a wide range of vision? I have my camera almost glued to the character and I can't see almost anyone attack me from behind. :S
the only difference I used to have critical power feat from bottom tree (it roughly gave me 3-4 more dailys per pvp match @ 10min match avg) but seeing as it was nerfed I would probably opt for bitter cold from top tree to get more umph on icy rays as a finisher.
You could say I retired the char or simply stopped playing, I had some day1 ranger gameplay but generally got tired of the same maps and decided to play something else.
I used to run severe reaction but dropped it later when I felt comfortable enough in my kiting with ray of frost.

Un saludo.
type in chat /gfxsetdefaultfov 85
(I think default is 55 and max is around 110? not sure but i'd try 75 then when you get used to that go 80 and then 85)

Wow, thanks, I REALLY needed that change.

Well that's a shame, but fully understandable. You influenced many CWs with this (pretty unique) play style with shard on Mastery, you were probably the first guy I've seen doing it.
Critical Power still worth it IMO by the way, help a lot with the dailies, and you need them even more these days.

Yeah I can confirm the boulder setup wasn't mine nor anyone from my guild, we did a premade against coglover and although they lost our cleric kept saying he was proned locked by that guy, I then noticed the extra debuff glitch from boulder and adapted the setup (I did tweak it and replaced chillstrike with enfeeble to keep empowerment debuff last through the whole rotation).
I was the only PvP streamer who organized premades so I received more credit than I deserved, alot of builds that I streamed people thought were mine, but it's ok I never denied that they are not mine.
I like coming up with more ingame stuff rather than numbers, the angles, positioning, baiting, movement is more important to me than passives and feats. That's why can't wait to play wildstar which is heavily based on movement

I didn't think you could get any more cool... how wrong I was!

Interesting read that topic
I first seen the boulder setup in your PM vs Complaints Department. I've been using it myself quite a lot, but switch to Icy Rays on Tab when the other party has 2 decent CWs or CW+HR... these combinations just make my shard disappear so very often I'd say shard takes significant practice to use properly but it's a high risk/high reward move.
Anyway, what's important is that is a pleasure watching your CW at work and that's about it.

the great thing about the boulder (and now its even better after the arp buff) is you only need 2 skills to kill another cw, the icy rays + enfeeble are usually just an overkill. If you are tanky enough you can start your combo only when the other cw is about to finish his, usually they stand still while casting last skill like icy rays, exactly when you can start your combo, if you get eye of the storm crit proc its gg, if not you still probably 1 skill off cooldown and 2~ dodges after that.
it's hard to explain but the bottom line I usually prefer to take the full combo rather than try and sneak my rotation in between his, I only start my rotation when I know/seen his rotation and can predict the next encounter won't make my boulder disappear.
Haven't played against rangers, can't provide any feedback on that unfortunately

llantis more famous for his unique Chill debuffing and jumping cast-cancelling playstyle not Shard. There were several serious Shard on tab users well before, including before your time, like coglover who probably was the first to post on forums using it in July 2013: http://nw-forum.perfectworld.com/showthread.php?418541-Makin-a-stream-of-my-CW-in-PVP-Pugs
I think Critical Power is more useful in PvE than PvP due to sustained damage and fight duration, so I can see why he omitted it.
Nice videos. Thanks, llantis.
