Stat Points
Setup Guide
This gear set here is more refined than the Starter Pack provided in Gear Slot 1.
While Set 1 is still viable, this one has access to the (2) Piece set bonus of both Shadow Harvester and Phantom Wolf to bolster your damage even more. Since it lacks the burst to decimate other ranged units like Set 1's focus, there is plenty more Endurance, HP, and movespeed to balance it all out! Land those parry windows and BURN THEM DOWN.
Skill Set 1 can work with this if you preferred the machine-gunner playstyle that one lends itself to.
You will be focusing on using your AOE and rapid strikes to both apply and keep max stacks of Weaken: Burning (or Lightning stance procs if you prefer a burstier version) on crowds of occupied enemies. Team play is heavily required to float this build's combo pattern.
CLASS FEATURES
- Sustained damage with pockets of burst windows to maximize damage output.
- Less RNG reliant than its Lightning counterpart
- Much less mana hungry due to being able to spec Mana Exchange
- Has room for Flash Wave !
- Even more synergy with Selfless Diffusion
- Has staying power in extended fights and bosses.
- Easy to win Dynamic Events!

Setup Guide
The Skill loadout chosen here focuses on minimizing cooldowns, on hit effects, and flexibility.
Where you start in your rotation is not as important as long as you do not use Decisive Bombardment , Zephyr's Nock , or Annihilation Barrage Shot until you have max stacks of Bloodlust , as those are your combo enders that can often double or even triple the output of the ability!
It will typically take a full set of Strafing shots plus one Quick Fire to max, so fire away before you go for burst!
No matter the setup, you will always
- Start off with Selfless Diffusion
- Use Nature's Blessing and Mana Exchange any time they are available and your mana isn't full
- Always wait until the end of the combo for one of your two finishers when possible
- Oh, and always have Mother Nature's Protest and Deadly Marker active.
Due to its nonexistent cooldown, always weave in Mortal Mark when it is up. It is the entire reason quickfire spam can work

Same idea as Skill Set 1, minus the spinning. You will instead be using Flash Wave during the gaps in your rotation for extra AOE clear. Fire Arrow is preferred but Lightning Arrow works just fine! The lack of Merciless Barrage in this set does lower the value of Lightning Arrow, though so there's that. If you use Zephyr's Nock correctly after stacking Gale and Bullseye ( Strafing ) , the cooldown should be cut from 5 seconds to 2, so you should be able to weave it back in roughly every 2 uses of Quick Fire.
This setup is less a loadout change, more a playstyle change! Instead of closing the gap for spins, you will be choosing to dash in and out of the maximum range of your crossbow (14 meters) and taking advantage of the range bonuses of Zephyr's Nock and Sniper's Sense.

Food & Potions
Potions
These are a few foods that I try to always have on deck, but any attack food should do just fine. Self-explanatory but here's some notes:
- Wild Game Steak will also work on a budget if your cooking level is low!
- Mana Regen Potion's are mainly for boss/extended encounters but they can be useful in a pinch until you tame that mana bar
- Rare Defense Remedy I only slot these in if pvp's getting dicey and surviving a single unavoidable blow is necessary af
- Healthy Milk, Healthy Milk , Healthy Milk !
