User:Sinharath/Build:A/R Keen Volley Bowman

This build is designed for getting critical hits more often than the standard Critical Barrager. This should greatly increase the amount of health gained from Way of Perfection, as well as the energy gained from Critical Eye. As this build utilizes skills that are native to the unreleased expansion Eye of the North, it is only theory and could be rendered completely unusable by the time GW:EN is released.

Equipment

 * Bow of Enchanting
 * Zealous Bow of Mastery
 * Blessed Armor
 * Rune of Minor Critical Strikes
 * Rune of Minor Shadow Arts
 * Rune of Clarity (-20% Blind, -20% Weakness)

Usage

 * Keep Critical Eye, Way of the Master, and Way of the Assassin up to increase the chance of a critical hit high.
 * Keep Way of Perfection up to heal upon getting a critical.
 * Attack with Keen Arrow and Volley.
 * Resurrect fallen party members with Resurrection Signet.

Counters

 * Stance/Enchantment removal.
 * Energy Denial
 * Blind

Variants

 * Add Critical Agility in PvE for IAS and added armor.
 * Add Favorable Winds for faster arrows and added damage.
 * Add Shadow Refuge for more healing.
 * Take out Resurrection Signet for Sunspear Rebirth Signet in PvE.
 * Take out Volley for Triple Shot and Way of the Master for Read the Wind or Disrupting Accuracy in PvE. This still gives a good chance for a critical hit, but it only damages one target at a time.
