Guide

Build Explaination

  Flex Sets

 

  • Vicecanon's Venom: You can swap this set with something like Deadly Strike or Venomous Smite.
  • Perfected Caustic Arrow: Feel free to toss this for your favorite monster set i.e. Balorgh or Slimecraw.

 

  Flex Skills

 

  • Reaper's Mark: I have a tough time making Merciless Resolve work but I will concede that it is a better pick.
  • Debilitate: I prefer the double CC when combo'd with Magnum Shot but you could replace this with just about anything you'd like.
  • Bolstering Darkness: This is really only slotted for the passives gained from the Shadow skill line but something like Temporal Guard may be a better fit.

 

  Offense

 

PvP is a dance, not a rotation. However, there is a trail to walk. Always place your Reaper's Mark before you commit to a target. You'll lead with Lethal Arrow & Venom Arrow coming out of Shadowy Disguise.

  1. If they're close to death Magnum Shot into Impale.
  2. If they're half alive Magnum Shot, Debilitate, Impale, & recycle.
  3. If your duel lasts longer than 10 seconds? Back-off & reset.
  • Toxic Barrage is best used when your target is most vulnerable. Magnum Shot into Debilitate makes for a great set-up when popping this ult.

  Defense

  1. Your defense is limited & you're not beefy. When being pressured stay calm, dodge, & find your inviz button.
  2. When possible Vigor into Healthy Offering to min-max your healing; this isn't always possible.
  3. If you can't get into Shadowy Disguise? Bolstering Darkness into Healthy Offering  & Vigor is you last ditch hope.
  • Your one rule is to never die while you have sustain left. Otherwise, you didn't do everything you should have done to prevent death.

 

 

I'll continue to update this with more nuanced information as I learn it. Thank you for reading this,
