i was wondering, what if you use "shields up"(shout) and Whirling defense(stance)

shields up gives you 75% to block arrows so does whirling defense
so 75% arrow block is 25% hit
25% of 25% =6.25% left
that means that you block 93.75% of the arrows

would this work?

thnx in advance,

and then if you got guardian'd and aegis'd and swirling aura..'d, youd be a walking arrow mirror.

what about precision shot and called shot?

Also rangers have a new preperation skill. Forget the name.

But for x amount of seconds, your arrows cannot be blocked or evaded.

Oh yeah!

Rangers are actually useful again <3

But it sucks for those who don't buy factions Their almost forced to buy factions just to frigging compete.

Although I know lots of skills will be deleted, nerfed whatever.

Yes. Is there a practical reason for this though? Shields up by itself is enough to screw any type of piercing damage to heck. The problem is maintaining it + getting your team to ball around it when you need it. There are several options for more shields up... one of which is simply bring 2 copies of it on two different characters.

No reason to go overkill with skill combos.
