Skills and Attributes
[build prof=Ranger/Any Expertise=11+1+2 Marksmanship=10+1 WildernessSurvival=10+1][Savage Shot][Distracting Shot][Poison Arrow][Barbed Arrows][Natural Stride][Optional][Optional][Resurrection Signet][/build] (and in JQ/FA, over [[Resurrection Signet]):
 * Long recharge, but allows you to push up with near-impunity, quickly spread conditions and easily interrupt.
 * Use to quickly spread your degeneration or speed interrupts on demand, be mindful of your energy.
 * Basic snare, pretty much always useful.
 * Expensive but can entirely shut down some casters.
 * Rarely the best option for pressure due to low energy sets but can really sting if you catch someone in their high set with it.
 * / : Cheap yet considerable +damage for assisting in spikes. Note the half range.
 * Other bow attacks' bonus damage scales with Marksmanship, which is lower in this build and most are lower power or have more severe downsides.
 * Potent but slow self heal, most useful in FA/JQ.
 * / : Hex removal. Veil is generally a more versatile skill but Remove Hex has a slight recharge advantage.
 * / : Condition removal. Mending Touch is generally better if your secondary is available for Monk (can be used on allies), but Antidote Signet has guaranteed Blind removal from self and lets you use any secondary.
 * Adjust attributes to get 6 Domination Magic. Use to shut down an opponent entirely at a critical moment. Continue to spread Bleeding while you're disabled.
 * Deep enchantment removal.
