Usage[]

<pvxbig>

  • Barrage from high ledges or bridges, your range can be far enough that NPCs do not attack you, and you are usually safer from players.
  • Aim for the middle NPC (at Quarries this is a Wizard if it's Luxon-owned or an Illusionist if it's Kurzick-owned).
  • Use [[Lightning Reflexes@14] to block arrows if capping at a near distance, or as an IAS to speed up capping. Also use for defense vs. players.
  • Defend Quarries by interrupting and disabling key nukes such as [[Ray of Judgment@16].
  • Cripple enemy players and Carriers using [[Pin Down@13].

  • Blind/weakness
