The PvXwiki community finds this to be a good build. If you disagree with this rating, please discuss it on the build's talk page. This build has been designed for the following use: |
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.
Attributes and Skills
<pvxbig> [build prof=range/ritua expert=11+1+2 marksm=10+2 commun=10][forked arrow][dual shot][needling shot][distracting shot][brutal weapon][glass arrows][whirling defense][Resurrection Signet][/build] </pvxbig>
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.
Usage
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.
Variants
- RA Variant: Use Troll Unguent and take one level away from Communing to put into Wilderness Survival
- TA Variant: Use Anidote Signet to keep yourself clean so your healer can focus on healing you.
- Blindless Variant: Use Sight Beyond Sight to prevent blindness.
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.
Notes
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.
