The PvXwiki community finds this to be an excellent 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: |
This build uses the Ranger elite skill Infuriating Heat to super-buff adrenaline gain, and thus, damage, from your physicals. This results in big damage from your Warriors, Paragons, and any other class using adrenaline attacks. Other adrenaline-based skills will also be buffed. This allows for more frequent use of adrenaline-heavy skills like "Save Yourselves!" and Stunning Strike.
