with the warrior as a primary you can worry less about damage taking and be able to take care of your pet and shooting down enemies...

what do you think?

EDIT: i was mistaken about the warrior's primary attribute.... instead even only the warriors armor will be a lot stronger and i can give a +1 bonus to beast mastery and a +2 bonus to wilderness survival...

so this is the build now:

You'd swap the best Primary Attribute in the game for the second worst..? Yay.

reply to edit: I still think you'd be much better off with the energy cost reduction of Expertise than you would be with the armor gain of the Warrior armor.

You are using a two preparations with Barrage which removes all preparations. Just not energy efficient or useful thing to do.

you going to need some sort of energy supply...

maybe equip a sword and use flourish then switch back to bow

maybe put in penetrating shot to add on to the armor penetration

Or maybe use Expertise because its the best Primary attribute in the game. The only reason I would ever use Strength would be for the shield requirement. There are times where a weird build is good, this is not one of them.

Flourish no longer requires a sword, but I would still recommend using Expertise.

what does expertise give me except for the energy reduction?

'cause i only have 1 attack skill.... barrage...

and i have barrage + 2 preperations because i use the preperations for regular targets and barrage on a cluster of enemies...


thx for the help
