[build prof=range/ritua expert=11+1+2 marksm=10+2 commun=10][forked arrow][dual shot][Savage Shot][distracting shot][brutal weapon][glass arrows][Lightning Reflexes][Resurrection Signet][/build]
 * [[Needling Shot] over Savage Shot.

Equipment

 * Scout's Insignia or Brawler's Insignia if you feel the need for defense, Radiant insignia otherwise.
 * A Vampiric Recurve or Short Bow and a Sundering Short or Recurve bow.

Usage
To use this build, maintain Glass Arrows at all times. When you're about to engage a foe, cast Brutal Weapon on yourself, then use Forked Arrow followed by Dual Shot for a quick spike, then simply shoot them until Forked Arrow and Dual Shot recharge. Repeat as necessary until foe is dead, maintaining Glass Arrows and Brutal Weapon.

If there is a Bonder on your team, tell them to not bond you unless its absolutely necessary.

Counters

 * Hexes such as Faintheartedness will prevent Forked Arrow from triggering and will slow your damage output
 * Missing from Blind or hexes
 * Blocking, to a lesser extent; you will still make them bleed.
