The goal of this build is to buff the group while keeping decent sustained damage. You not carrying here, but you are still a very annoying damage dealer, with good mobility. Your priority arrows are Shadow Sting, and Spiral Fletched Arrow to trigger Debuff Defenses/Buff Crit.

1. Pierces Defence drop the defense of mdps first and tanks. In skirmish the AoE capacity of Spiral Fletchd Arrow, Lileath Arrow, Barrage, and Flame Arrow increases the chances to apply the debuff to a maximum number of targets. You can feel the difference in keeps defenses and offenses actually.
2. Leading Shots is for buffing +% crit chances both offensively and defensively (heal crit). It is even more beneficial for a White Lion because you need excellent gear to maintain high damage consistently.
3. Keen Arrow is to increase the duration of Broadhead Arrow and Flame Arrow, mostly for AoE Ailment for Shadow Sting distribution and extends Takedown, and here you can perma snare one of your opponents. Pops VoN, Shadow Sting is undefendable. It also saves you GCD as BHA is still your bread and butter skill to either set Shadow Sting and/or your burst sequence. But again, increased Flame Arrow duration + 10 feet increase radius with VoN is nice.
4. Split Arrow is self-explanatory.
5. Eyeshot is excellent both offensively and defensively. Try to save VoN to combine with Eye Shot so that the cooldown is significantly reduced. Offensively The 50 debuff init is very good to assist the main assist.

The play style of this build could be summarized in Muhammad Ali's quote "Fly like a butterfly, shadow sting like a bee"

How to you play the Swizz Murder build? Do you start in ranged? Can you explain this spec a bit more looks interesting. Im scared it would get blown up in melee range. What are you slotting for renoun, gear, talismans?

For a beginner solo roamer SW, I recommend a long-range based build. Either in Skirmish or Scout. I am referring to these builds:
1. Skirmish/Scout: The Flayer
2. Scout/Skirmish: Hawk Eye

Skirmish or Scout? It is just a playstyle difference, and frankly, Skirmish and Scout are both good DPS trees that are also beginner-friendly. Assault (main) is not, and I adding also the fact that it is heavily gear and renown points dependent. In this current state of the game, you can either use it in <XP40 scenario or after RR70. It is a bit depressing.

A few pieces of advice:
1. Focus your learning on 1 tree, and only one first. You want to get your rotations rights, and learn when to use your CC and escape.
2. It is primordial to learn how to kite correctly and your placements. I would argue that terrain awareness and flow of battle awareness are even more important on the SW because the burst sequences are of a different nature in Scout and Skirmish. Also, again, SW is squishy + does not have active emergency healing or active healing tactics, so if you get caught in a CC (Choppa Pull, Mara KD, BG range perma snare, SH KD, etc), you will likely to die. ( @devs please refer my suggestions to upgrade Hunter's Fervor and Blood Soaked War tactic for emergency healings :geek: ;) !)
3. Learn also to stance dance when necessary. It won't happen that often, but sometimes the +10 range and Throat Shot are necessary, as access to Flanking Shot as a range execute or Flame Arrow are required. A good way to force your stance-dancing skills is to fight with the tactic Guerrila Training, and play with the speed buff on stance change. It is also a lifesaver in some situations.
4. Above all, stay at the range of everything !
5. Learn to choose your targets. Don't waste your time on shield tanks and Guarded DoKs for the damage skills, everything else works to some degree.
6. CCs are good on all targets.
7. Try M1 Concealment or Lileath Forgiveness and see which one fits the best for you. I prefer Lileath Forgiveness as you can survive to 1 sequence of a Sorcerer or a DPS Shaman. But you've got only 1 trump card.

Cheers
