Skills

Bar One: Bow Main Damage

Blighted Blastbones (Morph of Blasbones | Skill line: Grave Lord) - Massive damage and priority to maintain on the front bar NOT your spammable!

Skeletal Archer (Morph of Skeletal Mage | Skill line: Grave Lord) - Strong damage over time ability that will increase our spell and physical pen by 1500 for keeping it active. Also helps with sustain via undead confederate passive increasing overall sustain by 200.

Detonating Siphon (Morph of Shocking Siphon | Skill line: Grave Lord) - Small radius but massive disease damage over time. Moreover, it increases damage for just slotting by 3% and stacks with other damage amps as well.

Lethal Arrow (Morph of Snipe | Skill line: Bow) - Our main spammable that hits very hard and applies the poison status effect.

Acid Spray (Morph of Arrow Spray | Skill line: Bow) - Conal AoE damage that applies a nasty damage over time for four seconds. Positioning is key to hit the most targets possible.

Flawless Dawnbreaker (Morph of Dawnbreaker | Skill line: Fighters Guild) - Dawnbreaker is great as a low-cost ultimate when Colossus isn’t available or near finishing a fight. You’ll slot this for increased weapon damage and ultimate generation on kills from fighter’s guild passives.

Bar Two: Bow Buffs and Healing

Razor Caltrops (Morph of Caltrops | Skill line: Assault) - AoE damage that applies major breach. I primarily use this only in trash packs or solo due to its cost.

Endless Hail (Morph of Volley | Skill line: Bow) - Great AoE and single target damage though I don’t use maelstrom bow. This is another skill I primarily use in AoE trash packs.

Mortal Coil (Morph of Restoring Tether | Skill line: Living Death) - Coil is our primary sustain tool that does great healing as well. Consider this a flex for more damage or ult gen.

Poison Injection (Morph of Poison Arrow | Skill line: Bow) - Single target hard hitting DoT that acts like an execute. This will also increase our weapon damage dramatically on the target via the Master's DSA bow. Keep up on primary target only.

Echoing Vigor (Morph of Vigor | Skill line: Assault) - AoE healing that helps out the group. You can switch to resolving vigor for a selfish heal if needed.

Pestilent Colossus (Morph of Frozen Colossus | Skill line: Grave Lord) - The go-to ultimate in PvE and an absolute nuclear missile! Typically save this in combination with aggressive horn for incredible burst damage to you and your group.

Kinras’s Wrath: obtained in Blackdrakes Villa dungeon.

WHY? Great damage bonus for you and provides a buff to nearby allies.  It’s much easier to obtain the 5 stacks with this equipped at all times rather than just on front bar.

FLEX OPTIONS

Tzogvin’s Warband: obtained in Frostvault dungeon

WHY? Great critical rating increase and an important buff minor force.  It’s much easier to obtain the 5 stacks with this equipped at all times rather than just on front bar.

Perfected Caustic Arrow: obtained in Veteran Dragonstar Arena

WHY? Massive weapon damage increase added to your primary target and ramping up your single target DPS.

FLEX OPTIONS

Perfected Point-Blank Snipe: obtained in Veteran Vateshran Hollows.

WHY? Makes our snipe do great damage even while close.  This is especially useful when playing in trials which you need to stack tight.
