==========
Strategy:
This build uses the standard "kite and shoot at range" type of strategy, and brings it to another level. Farming anything melee is incredebly easy, and bosses are no problem as well. There have been reports of killing monk bosses with this build as well.

First, use Natural Stride and Stormchaser to get to your target's location.
1.) Prep up Apply Poison
2.) Find a Target
3.) Shoot Burning Shot
4.) Fire off a Hunter's Shot as the target is coming to you
5.) Dance and Kite, using Natural Stride to your advantage. Fire off Hunter's Shot and Burning Shot when appropriate. Be sure to keep yourself out of danger. Survival is more important.

Easy Bosses to solo with this build: *For Practice*
Dervish - Bubahl Icehands - Outside Nundu Bay in Marga Coast - To the East of Exit
Warrior - Chor the Bladed - Outside Nundu Bay in Marga Coast - To the North of Exit

These two should be easy to solo, so yeah.

This build makes no sense to me however I look at it, at least for Chor. I know for a fact that a Beetle Queen spawns very close to him, and I don't think you can put in more degen than she can easily heal. Technically, you could take her down first, but it doesn't seem like it'd outdo the healing (as I already stated.)

Oops, didn't notice Distracting there, but still, what's the recharge on it? 10 seconds? I can imagine it would work, but there are faster builds out there.

(Not beating up on your build, it's an interesting idea, just doesn't seem worthwhile against healers.)

If you can't take out the beetle queen without any problems... I fear for you.

Just distract Orison of Healing, and when it recharges, get Signet of Devotion, kiting as you go. Its not hard what so ever.

After the queen is down, proceed to beat up on chor.

Honestly, didn't really try it out, just looked like it might be a problem. May give it a shot a bit later, currently trying to up my Explorer title. -_-

The moral of the story is...........try it first before ya criticise.

Isn't it Burning Arrow instead of Burning Shot?

Btw.. Nice Build.

Concussion shot the beetle queens and interrupt their healing and assassinate them first. Otherwise they heal too much with their words of comfort.

Gonna try Chiggen and Nightbringer with this; Chor Junto and Budhal still die 10x faster to a 55 SS.

I'd add Pin Down in there, instead of Natural Stride. Makes it easier to kite, and I don't see why you would need 3 defensive stances.
