MY TURRET NOOOOOO WHAT WILL I DO??? Apply PSN??? very good skill unless you face balanced with FF nec... which is like the only thing you should lose to in TA legitimately. Yes Apply Psn kicks booty vs all those RA teams, but honestly, most the time you wouldnt even need your preperation up to take those teams out. The only problem is the mythical creature known as pyth and some other good balanced teams. If you trust your ranger (I dont) to dshot the hell out of plague sending over and over... go for it... basically all you are going to do though is have 1 character perma poisoned since FF is so damn fast a recharge. Also, FF will give that 1 character health and energy so the small amount of degen will quickly be balanced out with the small but constant foul feasting. Not to mention you better not get your preparation interupted because that is your main form of damage.
I wouldn't bring apply poison unless it was to counter some other certain team that had no FF necro (which by the way would be a team that already fails probably).
I would bring a preparation that would counter whatever is causing me the most problems that day in TA so learn to use them all. (even experts focus!).

BTW i cant play GW anymore atm, can someone tell me why RTW is no longer a viable preparation? Did that 9-10 damg really make that much of a difference? I firgured if Turret was overpowered, the update wouldve just made them a normal build now...

What use are turret rangers when your opponents have 75% block stances 80% of the time?

FF is still common, and nobody runs balanced anymore. About all I have seen in TA lately is hexway with resolve on the VoR as an extra **** you and what I just call zerg mind blast (3 E/Me blasters + PnH).

Tested your build, has several issues.
- Energy sucking. Impossible to "sustain" dps.
- It doesn't do 102 DPS. No, really. Theorycraft is best with reality check.
- Issue is that needling shot cannot be spammed so well. If you do say penetrating attack - hunter - needle shot you will have fluid casts. However with needle-needle-needle; between each needle shot you have a little "aftercast" were needle shot hasn't hitted and is not renewed, on the contrary of chaining two attacks. Test it on Zaishen's Island if you don't believe me.
- Frenzy has some counterparts that Lightning cannot overcome alone. wild strike and wild blow is an issue and is used often by opponents. Prefer using rush that lightning.

I Prefer mine :P:

- Quite energy free. Spam and spam and spam eternally.
- Optional slot for mending touch, hex remove or whatever.
- Effective mini-spike that you cast every 6 seconds instead of waiting an under 50% health for needle that never comes in reality.
- Use with vampiric hornbow as you will skip it's refire rate using your attacks and it's the most damaging weapon.
- Does less DPS than Moriz's brave one, but it is so sustainable and unconditionnal that the lack of counterparts from it overcomes the DPS loss. Use external source of damage with optional slot like favourables winds, winnowing, or ritu with Brutal weapon. Used 3 rangers + ritu in AB with impressive success. Some success in TA but hex-heavy or blind heavy teams screwed it rapidly.

That was what a standard BA bar used to be before all this turret bullshit.

I think that's sarcasm. If not, maybe he thought up of it on his/her own without looking it up. When trying to make a good build that works, people select skills that they know are good. Eventually, it plays out looking like any other generic meta build guideline with a few minor variants.
