    If youre seeing a lot of clerics DDing, a thundershock now and then is useful.

    Else its just sharptooth as opener and then normals. If you want to control ur dmg, just use staggered atks and save your sparks and mana for when u need to take some hits

    Also, Winged Shell is a great use of the chi you'll get and likely never use. It not only will reduce any damage from AOEs, it's a net MP gain if it doesn't get ended early by too much damage.

    if the boss stuns, load it with dot. so it still damages it while you're stunned.
    Say my name 3 times, I dare you.

    Why you wanna use skills and waste mp >.<

    Not like DD-ing on a boss is that exiting in the first place. Wont be less boring cuz you're slowing down the dps with pointless skills.

    Just set a macro with auto shoot and spark than go afk and watch TV b:victory.

    For least management, I use demon spark macro. For medium management I use quickshot macro, and spark when available. For maximum management, I use a combination of skills revolving around quickshot and whether it procs. If it procs great. If it doesn't I build chi, then go back to it. Demon knockback arrow > fast take aim > serrated arrow works very well at chi building(kb, ta, serrated, ta, ta - repeat).

    I'm not positive if concentrating on chi building to spark faster is higher dps than quickshot in between sparks, but if quickshot fails I generally build chi, and if I'm close to sparking I'll build chi too. YMMV.

    I target the boss, wait for the veno to pull + reclaim pet, wait for tank to make aggro explosion, fire off STA, esc, range tangling, normal hits for a sec, eruption (not lvl3) + tangling + extreme = everyone killing the boss. If i get aggro I shell up which auto cancels my attack. I then thunder + lightning so other metal guys can get a hit. Extra attack with no aggro, lowered d + amp dam + lowered metal resis = E-Z boss.

    I'm a dex archer. Watch the barb while you're working to the boss. If he sucks you'll know it.

    I just use STA and then set it on normal and go do something else,
    If boss has a stun then i put macro on, easy
    I like to go do that pub quest and read a book
