So i’m running longbow + gs in AC and even a bear. Well guess what? Doing just fine, better even. Here are but few perks my dreaded “no spotter no sword” build holds:
Before spider queen with eagle eye traited I can shoot all 4 gargoyle heads from the snipe spot, given i move a bit to outside the column (literally standing in air). But it works. Needless to say i feel the boss when doing so.
Solo queen? easy. Only problem is the flood of her hatchlings, but once that’s done it’s easy as pie.
Luring & figthing gravelins in the booby trapped path after spider? Ez mode. Just gotta trait piercing arrows to ensure my shots go through to the breeder before it turns into a zergfest.
Kholer can be soloed with bear, as long as you don’t die the first time, being forced to fight him with 4 adds the next. But i do admit i’m not that good to solo him yet.
Path 1 & 3 burrows? Again, eagle eye + piercing arrows = poetry. Forget running, nobility doesn’t run, just takes few steps to advantegous position. Just place yourself in a good spot and you got all the burrows you need to shoot in walking distance’s range.
Gravelings giving you trouble? Fear the kittens with boar’s skullfear, or wolf howl or runes of the sunless set when using entangle. Or send your bear to get aggro, stealth yourself with hunter’s shot to ensure only bear is their target, then run past like nothing happened.
You don’t run from gravelings, they run from you. Or are dismissed as bear fodder.
Path 2 getting to last room? Why take the right path and be running from bunch of gravelings like “a kitty”, when you can take the left path where your opponents will be oozes. Much less persistant and easier to kill then the gravelings. Just run past them and use gs #4 to block any stray immobilizing projectiles.
I know standing in 3 poddles of red aoe death from ghosteater is what a real man does, but sometimes i feel like betraying my team and taking a nice stroll out of it while discharging rapid fire into ghost eater. I know, i’m a backstabber:/
Similar story for collossus rumblus and his melee/mid range knockdowns/knockbacks.
I do suggest runn….i mean relocating yourself to more advantegous position when warmaster grats casts his defensive bubble.
Because nobility doesn’t run, nobility snipes from their chosen position eventually relocating themselves to a better one, at their desired(running) speed;)
