Unda da belt(Skills):
Quickshot (Arrow moves twice as fast. Recharge 1 sec.)
Read the Wind (+10 damage, arrows move twice as fast. Lasts for 24 secs)There might be a bug with this.
Tigers fury(Non attack skills recharge for 5 secs, attack speed increases 33% lasts 9 secs)
Favorable winds(Nature spirit, arrows move twice as fast and do +6 damage lasts for 158 seconds) There might be a bug with this.
Lightning Reflexes(attack 33% faster, chance to evade attacks 75% Lasts 9 secs) Recommended to switch out with any skill of choice. Meshes with team.
Whirling defence(Block attack for 17 seconds.)
Troll unguent(self healing +7 health regeneration)
Res sig or skill of choice Please bring res sig for Competition Arenas. It is essential to winning.

Bling Bling at the Crib(Other Preferable Skills):
Winnowing(+4 physical damage) I'd switch this with lightning reflexes.
Kindle arrows(makes attacks fire, +13-20) Can be switched out with read the wind... I feel that this is based on preference. Whatever you feel like dawg.
Rend Enchantments(takes away enchants while you take damage) fo' specialized pvp only, Necromancer skill, Switch out wit' Lightning Reflexes
Conjure Flame(+1-10 fire damage) Ummm... Some people like this some people don't. I don't. Switch out with lighting reflexes.
Throw dirt(blinds opponent and their foes adjacent to them) Switch with Lightning reflexes.
Predatory season(+5 damage whenever you attack, healing is down 20%) I like this skill. Can be used with a ranger spiking group. Switch with lightning reflexes.
Dual Shot(Fires 2 arrows, 25% less damage) Can be used for spiking with this build. Not recommended BY ME due to energy management problems.
Distracting Shot(Interrupts current action of the foe) Very useful skill.
Savage shot(Interrupts current action of the foe). Very useful skill. Can be used in conjunction with dual shot to create a spiking build.
Quickening Zheypher(Skills require 33% more energy, skill recharge is reduced by 33% Please correct me if wrong, thanks) I don't like this skill very much. 25 energy is too much for me and it only lasts for 30 seconds. Use only if the team needs it.
That's all the preferable skills this homeboy can think of...

Be Street Smart (Tips):
Remember to
-Put up favorable winds
-Relight read the wind every 24 secs, when tigers fury is NOT in action.
-Use lightning reflexes when a warrior is on you. You evade while doing more damage. YEAH YEAH!
-Whirling defense is purely for defense. Use it wisely.
-Alternate between Lightning reflexes and Whirling defense. You are open for 15 secs if both are recharging.
-Heal when necessary. That goes for all the dam builds.
-Brush your teeth
-Two hours a day on the computer. Any longer will make you like a gangsta fo' weed.

I hoped you guys like this...

PLEASE COMMENT on the build AND on the theme(Gangsta).
I plan to do future builds and will implement new themes to keep reading the builds exciting.

Much love from the C-dawg from the Far East Side, yo' one and only homie...

Drop favorable winds, it doesn't stack the way it should with Read the Wind. Might be a bug, might not be, but you won't be getting that extra 6 damage all the time that you should be getting from it. I'd put in either savage shot or ditracting shot for that. Also, 16 marksmanship is a bit superfluous. You only need 14 to get that extra +10 damage from RtW, so spare yourself that 75 hp and just use a minor rune there. Also, running at 9 expertise gives you just about the same benefit as running at 11 expertise. The only thing you'll be losing out on is two seconds on your whirling defence, that's it. However, I'd shoot for atleast 12 or 13 expertise (personally I always go with 14), but your attribute points are a little tighter.

There's a bug with the favorable winds/Read the wind? Oh shiznit....

Thanks for the comments Eonwe.

No one likes my build?

Here's how you use quickshot: Dual shot, then quickshot, then savage shot or distracting shot (or concussion shot too I think). It doesn't have much of a use if you don't put it in a chain like that. Also, don't take so many stances, rangers aren't priority targets.

Oh, and you should use a vamp bow, and crank expertise up to 14.

Quote:

Not, it's not quick dual quick, it's dual then quick then your interrupt last . Dual is a normal bow attack, without a "cast time" so you can't use it following qs. (Edit: I *might* be wrong about this, but I've always assumed that using qs first would treat it as a normal bow attack, but whenver I've run qs spike I've just done the "usual" order).

Going dual then quick then dual and quick again would probably be higher overall dps then the dual quick interrupt chain, but you wouldn't have as big a damage spike.
