Archive:R/any Ignite Arrows

A build focused around using Ignite Arrows to deal good single target and AoE damage compared to other Ranger alternatives by taking advantage of multishot skills as well as Ebon Standard of Honor triggering on Ignite Arrows. This build does not specifically need a secondary profession to function properly, giving you some creative leeway.
