Game Focus: PvP
Primary Purpose: Disruption with Damage
The Disruption Archer thrives on spreading chaos and disorder throughout the
field of battle. His skills are slotted to cause problems for a wide range of
opponents from silencing and interruping casters, slowing and weakening
warriors, and spreading disruption over more than one character. He also
thrives on being able to distribute a few bloody noses in the midst of battle
as well.
Remember that the Disruption Archer's main role is not to distribute the damage
to your opponents but to support your damage dealers by causing mass disruption
to the opponents. Your skills will allow you to cause multiple headaches. Let's
take a look at a few of those strategies and skills.
Do you have a warrior or ranger causing havoc in your ranks? If so, there are
several skills to take advantage of. Does your teammate need to either escape
or catch a fleeing warrior? If so, hit the warrior with Pin Down. His speed
will be impacted dramatically allowing your teammate to either flee or catch
him.
Is he causing some massive damage? Hit him with a combo of Enfeebling Blood and
Shadow of Fear. Not only will you inflict weakness (reducing his physical
damage output) but you also lower his attack rate so not only is he attacking
less often, but for less output.
Do you have a caster giving you headaches? Hit him with Concussive Shot, if you
time it right, you'll not only silence him from casting any more for a while,
but you'll interrupt his current spell as well. The other option is Punishing
Shot. This skill is great because it causes an additional 8+ damage as well as
interrupting the caster. This skill is great for interrupting and causing a
large amount of damage.
The Disruption Archer also thrives on punishing opponents who love to cast
enchantments. Hit a large group of enchanted opponents with Desecrate
Enchantments, everyone in the AoE radius will take 8+ damage as well as damage
for every enchantment they currently have. They'll think twice about casting
those enchantments next time.
This build is loads of fun to play as you're always looking to thwart someone's
plans for greatness and you can not only stop them, but cause them massive
frustration in the mean time. Be sure to remember however, that while this
character is very strong at what he does, he can't survive alone and this is
not a character to try and run solo in PvE. He's focused on PvP action and
working with a well organized and distributed team.
