Default A possible new thumper style for RA/TA

[OgETMZbezJ8tUALFnc5Kb1IAAA]

[enraged smash], [hammer bash], [crushing blow], [lightning reflexes], [bestial fury], [run as one], [antidote signet], [resurrection signet]
Expertise 11
Hammer 12
beast mastery 9
use a zealous 15>50 +30 fortitude hammer

I have been using this build to great success the last few days in RA/TA even though it most certainly isn't refined to perfection it definately has a lot of potential for another twist on the standard thumper build. The main part I am unsure of is my IAS since having 2 seems a bit over the top but at least for RA I like it for when a sin tries to spike me. I suppose you could swap in a variety of things and that is what I am trying to figure out. So maybe you guys have some ideas. I do know warriors have been run something like this a bit but this is the ranger twist on it.

Hmm I like it, will have to test it out. Though the zelous doesn't seem necessary. Instead why not use an adrenaline inscription.

It's decent, though I can't say it'll be a miracle build.

Might work, but tbh it lacks the pets damage, and the dazed from the pet. Only suggestion I would make, perhaps is take the original ferocious strike thumper, and replace ferocious with enraged.

You don't need a pet to make use of the speed boost from it to stay on them for pressure. I will mess around with on your knees that might be a good solution.

The lose all adrenaline clause of on your knees is a problem considering that your only guaranteed knockdown has the same clause.

EDIT: Oops, meant to say the adrenaline requirement!

[Enraged smash] can kd no? So I was thinking you can afford to use it like every 30 seconds or so. :P

I run this in RA but with Sprint for IMS, on your knees for stance recharge, and Protectors strike to punish kiters. Very effective, I've taken out dual stance monks no problem

If your using that then you cant knocklock because hammer bash makes u lose all adrenaline losing on ur knees. Or u cant hammer bash because of same clause on on ur knees.

As well as that, its unguaranteed so if you miss you could have problems. Its not impossible, im just saying that its not reliable.
