Some Words:

Energy Denial Rangers usually use Oathshot and Debilitating shot to deplete the energy pool af target foe.
But we all know that oathshot uses 10 energy, has 20 second recharge and has consequence when your arrow
was blocked, evaded or didnt hit coz of hex and blindness. with flourish, thats not the case. debilitating
shot with flourish will ensure -20 energy from an "unprotected" target foe in a short span of time. and yes
flourishes recharge time is only 10 second so theoretically under ideal conditions, -20 energy every 10 seconds is taken from the target.

demo: http://media.putfile.com/flourishdebshot

not only debilitating shot can be recharged when using flourish but all bow attack skill.

attack skills: melee attack, hammer attack, axe attack, sword attack, bow attack.

in this character build, you can

1) spread conditions
2) debilitate energy pool (-20 every 10 seconds)
3) interrupt, shutdown (can replace savage with pindown)
4) doing that without downtime because of flourish

enjoy,

Nice build, certainly a funner (is that even a word) way to "Esurge" someone.

The Ranger would be, somewhat unprotected, the only defence is Dodge, which is for projectiles. Your using Dodge to evade interuption to activate TU? Is this build used for GVG?

Energy could be a problem here too, ganing only 1 energy per skill recharged isnt much of a bonus. Perhaps a Zealous string?

Overall this is certainly an interesting and intreaging build. I will definetly try it out.
