User:Erathiel/Builds/Build:R/Rt Brutal Glass Arrows

The Brutal Glass Arrows ranger combines the preparation Glass Arrows with the Ritualist weapon spell Brutal Weapon to apply continuous amounts of high damage with a minimum amount of time re-applying preparations.

Attributes and Skills

 * In the optional slot, use Antidote Signet or Troll Unguent depending on where you plan on operating.

Equipment

 * Scout's Insignia or Brawler's Insignia if you feel the need for defense, Radiant insignia otherwise.
 * A Vampiric Recurve or Short Bow and a Sundering Short or Recurve bow.

Usage
To use this build, maintain Glass Arrows at all times. When you're about to engage a foe, cast Brutal Weapon on yourself, then use Forked Arrow followed by Dual Shot for a quick spike, then simply shoot them until Forked Arrow and Dual Shot recharge. Repeat as necessary until foe is dead, maintaining Glass Arrows and Brutal Weapon.

If there is a Bonder on your team, tell them to not bond you unless its absolutely necessary.

Variants

 * RA Variant: Use Troll Unguent and take one level away from Communing to put into Wilderness Survival
 * TA Variant: Use Antidote Signet to keep yourself clean so your healer can focus on healing you.
 * Use Needling Shot to apply constant DPS after spikes.

Counters

 * Hexes such as Faintheartedness will prevent Forked Arrow from triggering and will slow your damage output
 * Missing from Blind or hexes
 * Blocking, to a lesser extent; you will still make them bleed.
