Looking for a longbow build - WvW and PvE
You have almost 100% crit, very fast adrenaline generation (heal, signet of accuracy and furious) as well as 20% reduction on the burst, allowing you to use it often. I’ve also taken longer bowstrings, as the additional range helps a lot, but I don’t think it’s worth going any further into the tactics for the other bow buff.
I actually just switched to that build a little bit ago, just the wrong trait skills; I had a few that didn’t seem to fit.
I like what you posted in that build. I’m interesed in using Superior Flame Legion runes, but the orbs sound nice as well. I will not be switching my armor out at all, I will stay with the knights set that I have. I currently use Ogre Runes, but like I said I may switch to the Flame Legion or to the Orbs, I’m still on the fence.
I also thought about using Eagle, but those are quite expensive. So, I guess I need to really think about what runes I want to switch to.
if you want damage, ruby orbs give you the most bang for your buck. Only if you know you can keep your health above 90, should you use scholar (could be a possibility if you like to longrange zerg)
Yeah, I went with the Ruby Orbs, even though I had ogre. Ogre, I was told, would be good to stay with, but I didn’t feel they were all that. The ruby’s actually gave me much better numbers, and I’m way more satisfied with them now with the change I made.
I still may get zerker armor, but I just really like the toughness on the Knights armor. Not sure I’ll ever change out of knights armor, tbh.
Thanks for the help Peter, was very helpful. Wish stronger bow strings reduced the cooldown on bow skills, but I guess I can’t have everything.
