I rather like Incend. Arrow it it like Quick shot.

I'm running this on an A/R Hero with pretty decent results:

11+1 Crit Strikes
12 Marksmanship
4 Wilderness Survival (breakpoint for 2 second Burning)

[Incendiary Arrows][Sloth Hunter's Shot][Needling Shot][Distracting Shot][Disrupting Accuracy][Sharpen Daggers][Critical Defenses][Way of the Master]

I almost always bring [Great Dwarf Weapon] and/or [Splinter Weapon] on my Ritualist. This gives the Hero:

AoE Interrupts
AoE Burning
AoE Bleeding
Decent Arrow Skills ([Keen Arrow] can also be used to good effect)
AoE Knockdown
-OR-
Better damage spread through [Splinter Weapon]

Bring along an Ele Hero with burning spells and a Paragon with [They're On Fire!] for more fun.

Swap [Needling Shot] for [Critical Agility] if you are personally running the build.

Assuming you meant it is like quick shot...

What the hell are you talking about? It's absolutely nothing like quick shot.

3sec buring.....that's not much. still like [barrage] better

FoxBat · Aug 13, 2008, 01:46 AM // 01:46

Assuming it's not a turretway variant, when guilds have experimented with quick shot, it looked like they did so exactly for degen-spreading reasons. (quickshot, switch, savage, switch, quickshot etc.)

Anyway did people forget that [skill]Choking Gas[/skill] is basically junk without [skill]Practiced Stance[/skill]?

Brian the Gladiator · Aug 13, 2008, 08:45 AM // 08:45

I was thinking the same thing FoxBat.

I'm pretty sure [choking gas][practiced stance]and[flurry] all go in the same build... and incindiary arrows doesn't fit.

Um, I don't quite understand this statement. All 3 skills are preparations.

Turbobusa · Aug 13, 2008, 05:00 PM // 17:00

^IA was changed to an attack skill.

On Topic: Degen was never hot in PvE anyway

I said they are similar not the same as quick shot as 1 sec cast time and Incend doesn't.It is just that they can be spammed more than others.

SF is too energy costly if you're constantly spamming it. IA is good for pressuring.

Jade Zephyr · Aug 15, 2008, 11:37 PM // 23:37

If my math is bad, please correct me.

Apply Poison + Incendiary Arrows = -10 health regeneration for 3 seconds, right?
I'm pretty sure that equals 20 damage per second?
So, 20 DPS x3 = 60 damage over 3 second.
If you hit 3 enemies with incendiary arrows, you can pretty maintain 20 DPS on 3 foes at the same time, making you total DPS 60 (this is only counting the degeneration and not the damage from the arrows). I think the skill definatly looks good. Atleast in theory, as I haven't used it in-game.

You cant hit 3, the max is 2 and usually ppl aren't group too closely for you to hit 2 at once.

I'm pretty sure 1+2=3 but I can be wrong. I hurd mathz is hard

warriorsmiley · Aug 17, 2008, 04:08 AM // 04:08

Um IA hits target and up to 2 other foes near the target. Currently I've been running IA in RA testing it out to see how it works. Ive been more then happy with the results with apply poison and IA. Even when my team faced a team with 2 monks the monks couldnt deal with the degen seeing as it cost um more to remove the conditions then it does for me to apply them. I know its only RA but if you were to run a apply poison ranger with IA in HA in a condition build im sure the results would be good.

Like someone said earlier the best part of IA is it doesnt remove preps. Once everyone see's how good it works at making pressure im sure they going to add a remove preps to the skill.

I read the definition wrong,

Sun Fired Blank · Aug 17, 2008, 05:58 AM // 05:58

You get projectile damage, -42 for every burning target, degen from your prep and quick dispersion of splinter. If you have no BHA and you're not some retarded area-specific platform, you should consider taking it.
