Return of Reckoning

Since the servers are down, lets talk about something constructive (i.e., not balance changes). I don't think there's been a thread since T4 was released.

I just got into T4, so I'm using the ballistic Vanguard ring, Sundered Rings set and the 180 spirit resist ring from the Winds Impervious set. The Clarity bonus which The Sundered Rings used to have would have been pretty nice. I'm aiming for Full Annihilator and the crit belt, not sure about what cloak and jewelry to go for.

I used to run No Quarter on live, but I'm finding it impossible to keep enough AP to sustain DPS with blue pots broken and on 5 minute cooldowns anyway. Currently using this spec, swapping out Leading Shots for Bullseye when solo, but I'm not really satisfied with it.

Renown is all in Ranged Crit, with extra points in Ballistics/WS/Wounds.

maybe go something like this http://waronlinebuilder.org/#career=sw; ... 9:;0:0:0:0: if you so love Path of The Skirmisher shadow sting is TOO good in any SW spec

To clarify, my spec has shadow sting, it just got moved to the 9point skill in RoR and that website hasn't been updated to reflect that.

I've put points in scout up to Glass Arrow (for quick kills when the target is low on HP since it's insta cast) and rest i skirm. Classic kite spec. Gear is all merc exept chest which is from Silveroak boss (crit reduce and easy to solo - saving up for the merc chest).
RR points in full cleansing wind and dogde/disrupt - sweet when soloing ☺

Jewels are the rvr Inf and rest is bali.

so they nerfed all specs except scout, oh you dev oh you well played

Why wouldn't you get barrage/flanking shot. Both are really good skills.

Scout tree did get nerfed, Enchanted Arrows now only ignores 50% resists. Rest of the skills aren't the greatest anyway.

nah ulimited AP better

Can't seem to find an updated Scout spec these days, looking for something that utilizes the most out of SW dots+range with the healing debuff. I saw a tree a week or so ago that someone linked that was like this but for the life of me I cant find it now...

That's what I would run Scout wise. Great Turret style damage, mobility is a little 'eh however. You can swap Instinctive Aim for Distracting Rebounds to give you an AoE detaunt for added survival.

Festing and Flame arrow are both still great even after the nerf. Just don't try to rely on Festering with it's 3s cast. Enemies will love to get just out of range or make you lose LoS. But a well timed M2+vengence and you'll crit for well over 4k damage in the worst gear.

Many thanks, is there a reason you grabbed a Skirmish stance only move and didn't grab shadow sting? I was thinking a pure range turret way of playing SW. I assume you got flanking shot in the situations you need to run and gun, I feel that wouldnt it be better to re position?
