it is used for both PvE and PvP alike. That is why i referred to it as a hybrid build. like i said above though, due to the nerf to the master of archery feat this build's dps has been greatly reduced.
voltomey, what do you think about a Wise Ranger build? Its something i've been wanting to try. Get incredibly high wisdom strictly for the purpose of having all that crit. then you wouldn't have to stack as much crit, nor armor pen because our armor stacks so much of it anyway. that would leave a lot of stats to devote…
I really wanted to love electric shot. But it just wasn't doing aoe damage like split shot was. Dungeons are basically you just spamming split shot haha. I would definitely put points into something other than Electric Shot. Like disruptive or stormstep.
How has it been used extensively on the forums for that? There are classes that dont have any melee? There are hybrid cw and dc guides. hybrid means it is made for PvE as well as PvP. and Disrupting Shot is great but Seismic Shot and Forest Ghost are just too important to me to use it. Stormstep is also nice but i find…
Also, you're not wasting half of your class because if you notice the encounters that i use in melee are buff encounters. You're maximizing your parties damage, while maximizing your own. Its a win win. Thank you for your input though :)
I appreciate your input but i respectfully disagree. In terms of maximizing damage in both PvE and PvP archery is just the way to go. If you were shooting for strictly PvP i would tell you to spec into combat as well, but to get the most out of both archery excels. You do way more damage with a full archery tree in terms…
Ah, you're absolutely right. I was confused i thought you were talking about aspect of the falcon. By hybrid i mean that it is not specialized for one specific facet of the game. It aims at excelling equally in PvE and PvP. In order to do that, after much testing on the preview shard was to go full archery and only use…
I didn't know that! That sounds awesome. :D This is still a new class as you know, so i haven't figured out everything. but i like to think this build is a great start. Yours is too!
Correct. Aspect of Lone Wolf is broken currently. I specified which one should be used at what times. Read where i said what passives to use and it will tell you what to use for PvE and what to use for PvP.
"Class Features For PvP I use: Aspect of the Falcon - This increases your overall range to 89' if you put 3 points into it. This is perfect for PvP because you can find that sweet spot where CW's and DC's can't hit you but you can hit them. Twin-Blade Storm - With this passive you deal an additional 4% damage any time you…
I feel that it does its job well enough. Half the time i find that we hunter ranger's kill things so quickly that towards the end of the fight as the mobs die, Split the Sky is still activated.
I know, wasn't disagreeing with you. Disruptive Shot is great, but Seismic Shot and Forest Ghost are just too important to me haha. they are maximized by this build.
Disruptive Shot is a good daily for PvP dont get me wrong, but i'm depending with the archery build to apply damage to multiple enemies at once. Working the group down as a whole, rather than individual damage. If i was strictly going for PvP build i would probably spec into Disruptive Shot. Split The Sky is good for…
I'm not sure i understand what you mean. Extend the skillbar hotkey? post this question in the questions forum. a build is no place to ask questions, sorry. There are other threads for questions like this.
I've been strictly using T1 PvP Gear, with Negation Enchant/Lesser Vorpal for now. To me the reason it was important to go archery was because this is a hybrid build. In order to get back maximum damage in PvE AND PvP, the melee mode does not provide the damage needed to support your team properly in PvE. I'm sure it would…
I PvP quite often with this build, and will post some youtube videos for everyone to see. i have great success with this build. I do like the buff that aspect of the pack gives you, but when queueing with pugs i like to go for kills rather than winning. If i was PvPing with my guild, however i would definitely go with what…
Just rolled up a new toon using this build as of 8/4/13. This will be my third toon, so far i'm level 26 and following this build step by step am having an absolute blast. I'll let you know further down the road how its going but thus far i'm stoked to have found this guide. much love, great job.
This is the only Thaumaturge guide i recommend using. I've been using it for my lvl 60 since the game came out and as far as pvp goes well.. i'd like to see any Renegade come at me. Better equipped or not. Great build man, love it.
