R/Mo

Exp 11 (+1)
Marks 11 (+1)
Beastmastery 10 (+2/+1)
Healing 9

Charm Animal
Revive Animal
Call of Feeding
Call of Vitality
Read the Wind
Barrage-E
Orison of Healing
Tiger's Fury

I'm not too happy that my pet is taking up half my skill bar but I my goal with it is for it to charge in and tank while I spam Barrage. I figure with Vitality and Feeding my pet will be able to tank a lot of guys. Tiger's Fury+Read the Wind+Barrage will do some nice damage at a fast rate and with a Zealous grip I won't run out of energy ever. Orison is if I get into trouble because I need some sort of heal for me and my pet. Energy might be a problem but once I get Barrage going with a Zealous grip I'll be more than fine (assuming each arrow that Barrage shoots will give me +1 energy).

One problem I see is that there is no single target attack but I guess Barrage will be good enough. I went light on the healing because I don't think I will be taking that many hits and as long as my pet is attacking he won't need much healing anyway. Let me hear what you think.

Check your attributes again. Even if I reduce them by what you have in parentheses for rune add-ons.. you are still 207. (200 = max)

Expertise - 11 (+1) <10> 61 pts
Marksmanship - 11 (+1) <10>61 pts
Beast - 10 (+2/+1) <8> 37 pts
Healing - 9 <9> 48 pts ..this still adds up to 207

Even for solo..I wouldn't use call of vitality... would be more useful to have another bow attack...Barrage isn't going to be open to you for a while yet. Having another attack option plus the one where barrage will be until you get it would help you out.

Penetrating attack (20% armor penetration) and hunter's shot (bleed a moving target) would be useful.

EDIT : (Kha is correct as well) may want to try Punishing shot instead of Barrage.... or try rethinking a bit to make some changes to use barrage without ability loss.

Barrage will cancel out Read the Wind.

Edited to add: Replace Call of Vitality with Call of Ferocity.

Yes it will. You are probably using this build for pve so I would get rid of read the wind and get another bow attack like hunter's shot or favorable winds.But, it is your build and you should do as you wish

Actually it is 10, 10, 7, 9 becuase 10-2-1 is 7 not 8 so the attributes work. I completely forgot about Read the wind not working with Barrage. Previously I had Favorable Winds in there so I'll change that back. Call of Ferocity is better than Vitality so I can make that change but it still doesn't leave a lot of room for other attacks. Keep in mind I'm talking about a level 20 character with all the skills listed available to me. I'm not talking about getting to level 20. I'll use this guy to get items for my PvP characters. Also, does anyone know if the Zealous grip will trigger for every arrow that Barrage shoots or only one of them?
