That is a compelling case for team cohesion. AoE blind and combo starters sounds like a good enabler and considerate to the abilities of other classes. The area based buff seems like a good synergy with the skill selection.

Are you pairing the longbow with anything for your weapon selection or are you just using a bow?

@bngn
Your suggestion is long bow due to more AoE vs. single target Rifle damage?

@Fenrir
Thank you for your response.

For your selection of banners, which three are you going with?

Banner of Defense – armor/vitality
Banner of Discipline – critical chance/critical damage
Banner of Strength – power/conditional damage
Banner of Tactics – healing/boon duration
Battle Standard (elite) – revive + fury/might/stability

I imagine group composition would determine this, but perhaps the safe ones that can apply to most classes?

Also, your traits are listed as 20/0/0/0/10, what traits are you using more of?

For Strength, are you using Restorative Strength and perhaps Great Fortitude?

For Discipline, are you using Heightened Focus or perhaps Thrill of the Kill?

Thanks in advance,

Warrior Community,
I recently turned level 40 and received the summons to the Caudecus’s Manor dungeon.

I have been sorting through the Warrior forums for some solid advice on how to put together an approach to dungeons. At level 40 and learning the Master level of training, my traits reset and that gave me pause.

I am not trying to incense my group that I eventually group up with as it relates to the skills that I choose. I am looking for a balanced approach to help my eventual team.

I know traditional player roles (Tank, Healer, DPS) have been spread through all classes, but at the same time I am looking to help my group either way.

I am not trying to be a glass cannon nor am I trying to be complete support.

I did complete Ascalonian Catacombs (AC) in story mode, but that is where I started wondering on my approach to dungeons. I was able to endure and complete AC using a Rifle as I heard Warriors kind of suggesting in the map channel that ranged may be “easier.”

I am kind of open minded here as I feel that how I do world events and tasks will probably differ from entering a dungeon even if I may have to redo traits.

Cheers,
Grarr Steelfang
