I wouldn't use it.

Only dw condition, on a ranger, and your battery needs a condition, dw generally kills enemies in pve.

Read the wind and one bow attack.

No block stance, IAS...just low dps.

Eragon Zarroc · Nov 02, 2009, 02:04 AM // 02:04

yeah, one prep for one bow attack is not needed. prefer a block or IAS like sheik said.

Deanroy Flamestone · Nov 02, 2009, 02:12 AM // 02:12

You can moderate it as you like, The reason i used RTW was the fact that my rangers bows are all flat (T_T) and i lack the money or paitence to get her Longbows

The real staple here is EL+BS+SS
They put out some very high numbers that I have yet been able to emulate otherwise. The Bow attack is to give something so that your not spamming Pet attacks before you forget that they aren't instant. I digress that this more of a "Baby's 1st Ranger" build but I made it to be simple, and not require anything else to run. And in those respects it suceeded.

Last time i checked Pets don't need an IAS, or a blocking stance, and for that matter niether should you if you're playing with the right set up.

Yes, there are better Conditions to use, but DW helps bringing up a rather "low dps" as you said.

Unless you are without Nightfall, I can't see why you wouldn't want to take Never Rampage Alone.

Actually, you don't. Comfort animal allows you to bring your pet along. Charm animal is no longer needed.

Deep wound is more or so pseudo damage. I only count it as damage if the foe dies while under it.

But look at it this way, you have three pet skills, and with the pets terribad AI, spamming them and getting the energy off scavenger's strike is going to be rare, without an IAS your pet is attacking too slow to cycle thru the three skills.

Nothing is wrong with a pet build, but it'd be better to run spear alongside it with NRA. you can get easier deepwounds thru merciless spear, and not rely on the dumb brained pets to switch targets efficiently.
And throwing NRA on your bar effectively increases your base damage by 33%, not a lot right?

And using read the wind for a flatbow is okay..but longbows are just bad.

And this is where the OPTIONAL Skill comes to full. Throw NRA in if it makes you giggle inside.

And 9/10 when you use a pet it attacks what you attack until that target is dead, So why can't you? And I'm sure you can micro-manage if you're so opinionated to stamp a META sticker on a build.

And as I said, The rest of the skills are fodder!
EL + SS + BS
Is all this Build is Based around!
So chunk spears if you're so inclined to.

The Drunkard · Nov 05, 2009, 02:47 AM // 02:47

Not really a huge fan of bows+pets because I've never found the damage great, so I'll post what i've used in the past

Replace rtw+ sundering for:
- If you have decent EoTN rank and acces to proph, GDW and judge's insight for big numbers. Feral agression for optional (Not sure if asuran scan works with pets, but if it does change it out for insight.)
- Access to factions: Splinter wep and ancestor's rage for some nice AoE, call of haste for optional
- Acess to Nightfall: NRA for optional, barbed and maiming spear to cover DW and snare.

Well drunkard gave a good advice , in fact , if you attack 25% faster due to NRA you dont need Scavenger , just pack a Zealous Spear and you can have another pet buff and 2 spear attacks like drunkard said.

HigherMinion · Nov 06, 2009, 07:01 PM // 19:01

yeah, pet builds are generally run with spears. Doesn't Expertise affect BM skills? If so, you should be fine for energy with 9+1 Exp. 9 spear and 14/15 BM.

Also I like the idea of throwing GDW on your pet, very nice utility.

Thats the BeastMastery build i've been using recently, works pretty well. Armours runed for 15 BM, 10 Expertise, 10 Spear Mastery

Scavengers Strike keeps my energy up well enough

Anyone have any suggestions about what mods to put on my Spear and Shield?
