The Harrier Bowman is a build that can be used for both pvp and pve, with some variation. The main bonus of this build is that it can be used for protecting healers from any melee opponents such as assassins, dervish and warriors. It can also be useful for spamming conditions and interupting opponents.

Attributes and Skills
[build prof=Ranger/Dervish Expertise=7+2 Marksmanship=11+1+3 WindPrayers=10 WildernessSurvival=7][Burning arrow][Hunters shot][optional][apply poison][attacker's insight][harrier's grasp][Harrier's haste][natural healing][/build]

Optional slot:
 * Concussion Shot
 * Distracting Shot
 * Savage Shot

Equipment

 * Full Radiant Insignias Or Survivor
 * Runes of superior vigor + rune of superior marksmanship + rune of major expertise
 * Bow type is personal preference

Usage

 * For PVP try having an extra healing skill or antidote signet
 * Always use attackers insight to maintain energy (especially when using concussion shot)
 * Expertise isnt very high so its best to do a spike rather than a constant barrage
 * concussion shot should only be used if your an expert interupter otherwise its energy cost  isnt justified

This build has great effect when fighting moving opponents. The best way to use this build in pve is to have an elementalist in your party using area effect spells, this should discourage targets from remaining stationary. This build can be used against just about any opponent to spam conditions and distracting shot/concussion shot will make you a nuisance for spell casters.

In pvp use Harrier's Grasp and condition spam to effectively keep enemies crippled and away from your monk.

Counters/Disadvantages

 * Uneffective against Blocking enemies
 * Medium recharge times
 * Limited healing
