Type: PvE Farming
Category: Trapper/Farmer
Attributes:
Expertise 14 (11 + 3 Superior Rune)
Wilderness Survival 16 (12 + 3 Superior Rune + 1 Traveler's Mask)
Marksmanship 9 (6 + 3 Superior Rune)
Skills Set:
Distracting Shot (Expertise)
Whirling Defense (Expertise)
Dust Trap (Wilderness Survival)
Barbed Trap (Wilderness Survival)
Flame Trap (Wilderness Survival)
Apply Poison (Wilderness Survival)
Oath Shot {Elite} (Expertise)
Troll Unguent (Wilderness Survival)
Summary: This build is to farm solo with. I farm Trolls, Ettins, Losaru, Minotaurs, etc. with it, basically any melee-based opponent. The idea is to set up traps (between 1 set and 3, depending on how tough the "farmee" is), apply your poison, then pull using Oath Shot. Tab/space to get as many poisoned as you can while they are coming in.The mobs run in, get jacked up by all the traps, and flee. While they flee, with your newly recharged traps thanks to Oath Shot, lay some more. It's probably about time to apply your poison again as well, and make sure everyone gets their doses. Use Whirling defense any time you feel the need, although with Dust Trap usually it's not critical. Keep in mind that Oath Shot recharges all skills, so if you are about to use an Oath Shot and haven't yet used Whirling, you may as well hit Whirling while firing the Oath Shot, as it will be back instantly anyway. For enemies such as Avicara and Losaru that have Pure Strike/Seeking Blade (attacks that will hit you while in Whirling), wait until they run up to you, and Distracting Shot their respective skill. Of course, Distracting Shot is also handy in case you have any pesky healers around.
Notes & Concerns: Using 3 Superior Runes gets your health low, so this build is to be used carefully. You must always be aware of your aggro bubble, and your surroundings. I offset the health hit by a Grip of Fortitude.
Also, I use Poisoner's Strings on the 2 bows I use with this build - 1 longbow, and 1 shortbow. Use the longbow for the initial Oath Shot, and switch to the shortbow as the enemies converge on you.
If you know you are going against an enemy that may give you trouble, hit Troll Unguent after the traps go off to buffer any damage you may take.
I have 9 in Marks so I can use my bows to deal decent damage. Some would dump all the Marks out and use another, probably secondary class attribute in it's place; personally, I just hate shooting at something and watching 1's and 2's pop up. Plus, I have no room for any other skills.
Credit: Why, me, of course.
