Build talk:R/Mo Burning Arrow Ranger

I rb'd the changes, because the attributes were impossible, and no BA ranger uses WD. If you want, you can discuss here. - Krowman {{sysop}} 11:12, 10 June 2007 (CEST)

That was the original Skill Set/Attributes from the original Guild Wiki, so whoever added WD and messed up the atts was a vandilizer, an idiot, or both. --Hikari 08:00, 6 July 2007 (CEST)

Yeah, but I'm an admin, I can't say things like that. ;-) - Krowman {{sysop}} 08:03, 6 July 2007 (CEST)

^^lol. Resurrection Signet for AB? Take that away for something else.. like... Screaming Shot.. good otherwise!

That's because this build is meant for more than just AB, though if it is used there I would suggest another defense skill like Whirling Defense. Riveted 02:33, 2 August 2007 (CEST)

Pin Down or Veil or Purge imo. --Edru viransu//QQ about me 03:08, 2 August 2007 (CEST)

Merge?!?

Why not merge this build with the cripshot ranger? Except add burning arrow as a variant...-Lisark 6:00, 9 July, 2007 (CEST)

Rofl, same attributes too. I agree... name it Burning/Cripshot ranger, and just make the elites interchangable. ~~ frvwfr2 (talk · contributions) 01:08, 10 July 2007 (CEST)

Because they are different builds. — Rapta (talk|contribs) 01:12, 10 July 2007 (CEST)

Definitely no merge here. Those are two very different builds, designed for two very different purposes. There's more to a build than its skill bar, you guys. - Krowman {{sysop}} 05:06, 10 July 2007 (CEST)

Merging is idiotic. Readem (talk*pvxcontribs) 06:13, 10 July 2007 (CEST)

Common?

I've been using this EXACT build for months before I even saw it on PvXwiki, is this a common build?24.74.106.195 04:54, 13 July 2007 (CEST)

Extremely. People have been using it since the beginning of NF. Readem (talk*pvxcontribs) 04:58, 13 July 2007 (CEST)

I too have used a build almost identical to this, however I am clearly missing the reasoning for such high expertise...IMO Marksmenship and Expertise attribute points should be swapped *confused*

Apply Poison, Burning Arrow, Savage Shot, and your energy will be 0. =P — Rapta (talk|contribs) 21:53, 26 July 2007 (CEST)

Moving marks to 14 would give you one second of burning and +6 damage on BA and make all of your skills cost 1 to 2 more energy. It's clear whether it's worth it. --Edru viransu//QQ about me 23:25, 26 July 2007 (CEST)

Maybe in PvE the choice is clear but in almost any level of PvP you will need that energy to continue your role of shutting down that curse necromancer for an entire game. Twenty extra damage per cast is absolutely insignificant when your energy is gone after three minutes and you need to Distract that Aegis or Diversion. Teutonic 03:19, 2 August 2007 (CEST)

PvE?

can this build be used for pve? Or is there another burning arrow build i can use? - Dean Harper 23:06, 27 July 2007 (CEST)

I use this. Readem (talk*pvxcontribs) 00:35, 28 July 2007 (CEST)

For PvE the only thing I'd reccomend is adding Epidemic over Mending Touch. Teutonic 03:13, 2 August 2007 (CEST)

HB

This would make an ok HB build? (not for heros)Kiteeye 06:05, 9 August 2007 (CEST)

Insignias

Well? I'm using Stalwart (+10 vs physical), but I dunno what other people think should be used. And there's a spare rune slot, too, after you add in a vigor rune. I'm using attunement. -- Armond Warblade{{sysop}} 21:42, 9 August 2007 (CEST)

Vitae or attunement for that rune. I'd normally use survivor insignias, but since it's a ranger, you shouldn't die, so maybe radiant or armor or something weird. --Edru viransu//QQ about me 22:41, 9 August 2007 (CEST)

I considered survivor, but I decided that if I *was* attacked, 80 al vs physical and 100 al vs elemental would probably help more than around 75 more hp. I didn't expect to run into energy problems (and I haven't, mostly!), so I didn't put in Radiant (and I switched the attunement to vitae for lack of a better choice). -- Armond Warblade{{sysop}} 22:54, 9 August 2007 (CEST)

Clones

This is a clone of the burning arrow ranger and mending cripshot builds, we should just find the majority favorite and put the other two as variants, since it's only an elite different on each one.--Daniel Rendat 23:20, 9 August 2007 (CEST)

No. They play entirely differently. --Edru viransu//QQ about me 23:26, 9 August 2007 (CEST)

This has been discussed over and over again. They serve different purposes. —The preceding awesome-sauce comment was added by Skakid9090. 23:26, 9 August 2007 (CEST)

Wow

Nice! Amazing, Works like a charm, just switch Res for LR or WD for AB purposes.

I love switching to a Flatbow, and letting off a crazy shot and hit someone a mile away and they degen to death :D

-AtL

The problem would be to actually hit the person standing a mile away. The arc from a flatbow is ridiculously (or whatever way you spell it) high. If you wanted to do that, the longbow is better. Dragnmn talk 18:32, 15 August 2007 (CEST)

He was saying pwnage if you get that... He wasnt reccomending it. ~~ frvwfr2 (T/C/RFA) 18:37, 15 August 2007 (CEST)

Shouldn't mending touch's energy cost be reduced becaus of expertise becaus it's a touch skill?--Theripperfex 17:28, 17 August 2007 (CEST)

It does get reduced. –Ichigo724 17:33, 17 August 2007 (CEST)

I think he was talking about the energy cost on the hover thing. Desi 18:03, 18 August 2007 (CEST)
