Rain of Arrows Tactics

   Posted by: Admin   in Group Combat, Hunter, Solo Combat

DO NOT use Rain of Arrows unless you are confident about the area of effect (AOE) that you will cover with this skill since that can get the attention of adds (aditional mobs around the area). It is a bad habit to use that in crowded areas and get more mobs into the fight.

Use Precision stance instead of the Strength Stance it is useful because it does not generates so much threat and decreases the power consumption of your shots by 10%

This is a list of some great fellowship maneuvers I learned:

6 Players

GRRRRB / GYYYYB: does damage, restores morale and power and brings an oathbreaker.

3 Players

GRB (this one is amazing): restores 250 morale for some seconds, power and does some damage.
