How to stack might and finish your longbow fields with hammer and banner. 25 stacks of might with 0 boon duration runes (although you get +30% from traits). Can keep up 18 stacks of AOE might for allies.

Thanks I hope you enjoy the mobility it offers.

Can take ten points from arms and put them into tactics to get regen on the banner if you want to add more support. Can replace the shout trait with the horn trait to add more condition removal too. This will get you less adrenaline from your shouts though since they will be on 25 sec CD instead of 20. At 20 you can weave them into your rotation a little easier.

Can also uses Axes for all the finishers it has. Whirl, projectile, leap, there are lots of options with longbow.

This is good stuff! I have an up and coming warrior that I was trying to figure out how to use longbow effectively since I find it to be the most enjoyable weapon. My dream combination is longbow and dual axes, which I’ll be testing out (love the whirl combos).

Any suggestions for the master arms trait? Kind of leaning towards furious reaction simply because not much else is applicable for dual axes…

I messed around with axes in the mist for about ten minutes and axe/axe has a lot of finisher, 1 leap, 1 projectile and 2 whirl and you can use them in your field. I was using a 20/0/0/20/30 build to burst every 8 seconds. I took the 20 points in strength for crit damage, took the 20 point discipline talent to get adrenaline on axe crit. No regen but I reckon you can do a lot of damage.

Blasting golems, I had plenty of adrenaline to swap on every CD and get 3 bars for burst. Like Burst with LB, swap to axe, 3 for projectile, then 2 or 5 for whirl. Throw in F1 if you have time for a fire shield. Swap back. Would probably use precision banner and go straight glass cannon.
