I've been trying to get a good, solid, Beast Master build going and I wanna see what you guys think of this one;

R/A

Beast Master 14
Expertise 13
Marksmanship 9
Shadow Arts 2

Otyugh's Cry - For the armor and unblockablility
Call of Protection - For obvious reasons. It stacks well with Otyugh's Cry.
Beastial Fury - For a buff on your bow attacks and to power up Enraged Lunge
Brutal Strike - More Spike Damage
Enraged Lunge- The max damge for this is easily attainable with Beastial Fury
Shadow Refuge - Mostly because my ranger is R/A also because it is easlily spammable. If you don't like this as your heal move, switch it out.
Comfort Animal - Dur.
Annoying-Useless-But-Must-Have-For-Beastmaster-Skill-here - Gotta have it.

Equipment:
Radiant armor and attunement runes on all the empty slots, seeing as you shouldn't be in the fight too much.
Bring a Sundering Longbow of Fortitude with "I have the power!". This is your standard weapon. For energy management bring along a one handed weapon with "I have the power" on it as well and an off hand with any +energy mods on it. You will at least have a +11 energy with that.

Usage:
Call of protection. Use Otyugh's Cry when you enter combat. Then, after these two moves are active, use Bestial Fury followed by Enraged Lunge. Spam EL and Brutal Strike until target foe is dead. Switch out your weapons as needed. If you feel the need, go straight beast master and don't put any points towards Marksmanship. In this case I would suggest going into R/Mo and having a Healing Prayer spell to heal your pet and yourself, but this is just speculation, I haven't really tried it. GL :P


So that's it. This is my first attempt at a Beast Master, so be nice. :P

Yeah, don't use markmanship. Use Heal As One for your elite, and two others. Not sure what they are....

3/5, I have a soft spot for enraged lunge, but that's about the only thing decent in your build.
since beastmasters absolutely fail in PvP, I'm assuming your build is for PvE.
[build name="beastmasters still fail in PvE, but:" prof=R/any beastmastery=12+1+1 expertise=10+1 marskmanship=8+1][enraged lunge][great dwarf weapon][feral aggression][Otyugh's Cry][call of protection][comfort animal][charm animal][sunspear rebirth signet][/build]
9 marksmanship is there because it's not costing your pet any damage and all the skills are as maintainable at 11 expertise as 13 with a zealous bow and auto attacks.

oh and:

If you don't have energy problems, (i dunno I never really tried this) then swap [Feral Aggression] for [Never Rampage Alone]. If you want res swap [Finish Him] for [Sunspear Rebirth Signet] or go /mo or /rt for [Rebirth],[Resurrection Chant], [Flesh of my Flesh] or [Death Pact Signet]
