This my "main", and the only character that I keep 100% up to date with boons and equipment. Until they release another class that I can really get into, it will likely stay that way. I have went back and forth with this build. Tried about everything you can think of. This build works for both PvE and can also work in PvP (just swap gear). The point is to stay back, move around a LOT, and you get maximum damage the farther you are from a target. I have lots of other companions, reduced threat, more def. This is what I started with, and after no less than 30 respecs I ended back up at.
Companions:
Lightfoot Thief: (On Critical Hit Foes Nearby Target will bleed for 5x Level based damage every 2 seconds for 10 seconds)
Fire Archon: (Increases Damage against targets with less than 30% hit points by +5%)
Ranged Attack Hawk: (On At-Will Use Damage bonus increases as the range increases with a maximum of +10% bonus damage at 100')
Dancing Blade: (+5% Critical Severity)
Ioun Stone of Might: (+5% Stamina Regen)

(Update: thread moved to Wilds. A simple PM to me would have revealed that it was split from a thread in Gameplay and was left behind there by mistake, instead of jumping to conclusions and violating the rules. Goodness sake, chill folks!)

However, very good HR!!!, mine isn't so good yet .
I rarely use aimed shot, mainly just for single targeting bosses. That's the rapid/aimed. Mainly rapid shot.
These days I'm running about 17.7 GS, 9800 power, 1300 lifesteal. Not much else has changed. All rank 10's, yadda yadda.
Like I said, this is a pure archery spec. Which we'll get to re-do here once Mod 4 comes out. Yay!
I rely on Endless Consumption, it's a must have for me as I'm never near anyone else and it keeps me at full health. I'd rather lose a little DPS and gain the ability to play as I want and not die.

That would be great thanks
I will once we all get to re-do our specs here in about a month. For now I just say use what you like. The encounters I use I posted above, though I don't use Fox's much anymore. Replaced that with M. Escape. I toy around in T1 and T2 with pretty much everything, it keeps it entertaining.
I really don't understand why you need to wait to respec? That is a simple NW calculator that offers the link to your encounters...
Easy, I use all of them. I've stated what I use, for what & when. Real answer, I'm lazy. I'll get around to updating this post once Mod 4 rolls around.
1. Skills I figure Dex > Str? > Con?.... not really sure
2. Recommened stats? Power =
Crit = minimum amount
ArP = Minimum amount
REcovery = Minimum amount
or are there other stats I should try and work towards as well as what to gem for.
3. Last am I able to get some of your gear without questing?
Thanks again and really like it

easy to get 3.3k defense.... whats astonishing is getting the 3k defense with 33k hp and the 11k power. So he should be using around 7-8 r10 azures for that so just 2-3 r10 radiants, which makes him havig to use some hp jewelry thus making the 11k power a..... lol wut?
its possible though as if i had all r10s and 250 power rings id hit 12k power.
What i dont understand is why he isnt using arti cloak... say with lathander the 8 ac is worth 4 r10 azures in defense, whichcould be hp thus changing the rings for more power....
It's simple. To me (and it's just how I play) Offense + Defense slot : Offense + Utility slot.
And yep, two rings and a belt on my stone of might.
I guess u mean: "It's simple. To me (and it's just how I play) Offense + Defense slot > Offense + Utility slot"
If thats what u mean, arti cloak still provides more gs than an extra defensve slot plus the artifact bonus itself..... like i said +8ac is woth around 4 r10 azures worth of DR, which could be HP or deflect.... which ever u prefer. U can just ignore the utility slot, or get more ms.
Yep, that's what I meant. Lack of sleep will do that to a guy.
I don't see the point in artifact cloaks, +8AC or not. I appreciate it though, I might reconsider if one ever comes out that I'd actually want.
Meh you talked me into it. Updated to include legendary cloak.
I use three +100 defense and one +5% damage against dragons for armor kits.

I went through the whole Power, Power, Power. I like being well rounded much better.
It might not make sense, but in order to up your Damage (PVE) you need to lower your DPS. Otherwise everything is just chasing you around, and you might die.
I'm comfortable in the mid teens DPS wise, with the stats I have. No reason to get up to 14-15K Power imho. Plus if you have a CW with Presto and some other buffing classes you'll get that high power anyway during a dungeon (yes, I still run dungeons for fun. It's my favorite thing about this game).
I can swap to 2/2 BI and 2/2 Profound and do just fine in PvP, I just swap enchants and rings around from my stone to me, and slots around. Stay at about 8K power with about 34K HP and everything else stays about the same.
But, I rarely PvP on this guy. If I want to PvP I use a character built exactly for that. This is a PvE build.
