This is a R/E build I recently completed. I haven't used it yet in PvP, but I believe it is meant to be more of a PvE build.

(I dont have the attributes in front of me at this time)

Armor: Full Druids
Weapon: Fiery Storm Bow of Marksmanship (a shorter range bow would actually work better here. The bow grip can be changed to meet your desires but the Fiery bow string is a must.)

Skills:
Conjure Flame: Combine this with Kindle Arrows for you main attacks against regular enemies.
Kindle Arrows: Combine this with Conjure Flame for you main attacks against regular enemies.
Dual Shot: Goes wells with Conjure and Kindle. This skill can be switched out for a running skill, capture sig, etc.
Mark of Rodgart: Use against monks and bosses to get them down quickly. This skill is nice since many spell casters also have fire dmg wands.
Glyph of Lesser Energy: Use this to cut down on the hefty 25 energy Mark cost. If you dont have time you can normally ignore this and let lose a mark quickly.
Incendiary Arrows: Use against bosses to burn them and shut some spells down for a bit. Combine this with Mark to keep bosses burning (-7 degen) for a good amount of time.
Troll Ungeunt: Healing
Rez Sig: Rezzing

I'm currently at the RoF with this build. At that point you cant do much against bosses but the burning you provide can negate most healing.

(Note: In the Hell's Precipice you will probably want to replace Mark of Rodgart with Winter. Replace Glyph of Lesser Energy with the skill of your choosing.)

Comments, criticism, and suggestions are appreciated.

Kindle Arrows turns your bow damage into fire already, unless this was changed in a recent patch. If not, the Fiery String is obsolete.

Using this on the same time as Mark is quite overkill. All you'll get is the interrupts for a short period of time, better to use these after the other one ends for constant unwasted burning and interrupts to follow up Mark

i'd suggest fitting an atk spd booster sense most ur dmg is based on regular shots u'll be shooting pretty slow even with flatbow or shortbow

I didn't mean to say to use them at the same time. They work MUCH better in a chain.

Also, thx for the info about Conjure and Kindle guys. I didn't know that.

I would suggest using Melandru's Arrows instead of Incendiary, since it have a nice dmg against Enchantments, and the Bleeding is also very good. Incendiary arrows recharge time is way too long.

Okay, I'll try that for a bit.

While kindle arrows does replace the need for a fiery bow string, doesn't the extra damage from kindle make it somewhat worthwhile to have kindle on the bar?
