| |
| − | *** Standing briefly still while channeling {{Skill|Shelter}} can sometimes be better than moving straight back to your group

| − | ===Detailed Explanations===
| |
| − | ====Traps====
| |
| − | * Use {{Skill|Procession of Blades}} and {{Skill|Test of Faith}} when the enemy group is pushing towards you or your group is in melee
| |
| − | * Don't try to predict the enemy group far in advance or precast traps, wait until you have an opportunity to get immediate value
| |
| − | * {{Skill|Wings of Resolve}} can be used offensively to position yourself for traps
| |
| − | ** Don't put yourself in a position where you could die trying to get better traps off
| |
| − |
| |
| − |
| |
| − | ====Ranged Spike====
| |
| − | * Open with '''Scepter/Torch''' and use {{Skill|Symbol of Punishment}} {{to}} {{Skill|Sword of Justice}}
| |
| − |
| |
| − |
| |
| − | ====Sustained damage====
| |
| − | * When using ground AoEs like '''Symbol''' skills or {{Skill|Sword of Justice}}, try to place them so that one edge is on the enemy group and the other edge is in the direction they are moving to
| |
| − | * Since '''Longbow''' skills other than {{skill|Hunter's Ward}} are all projectiles, camp '''Scepter/Torch''' until projectile block is down unless you're aiming to land a {{skill|Hunter's Ward}} for CC
| |
| − | ** Fire {{Skill|Symbol of Energy}} at your feet when the enemy is pushing to avoid projectile block
| |
| − | * Use your '''Symbol''' skills quickly after swapping weapons so that the cooldowns will line up for future swaps
| |
| − | * Combine your '''Symbol''' skills with other damage to generate higher spikes
| |
| − | ** {{Skill|Symbol of Punishment}} {{to}} {{Skill|Sword of Justice}}
| |
| − | * Try to hit your own group with {{Skill|Cleansing Flame}} as well if you can, but prioritize hitting enemies
| |
| − |
| |
| − | {{Collapse start|Skill priority}}
| |
| − | * {{Skill|Test of Faith}}/{{Skill|Procession of Blades}}
| |
| − | * {{Skill|Symbol of Punishment}}
| |
| − | * {{Skill|Zealot's Fire}} - when no projectile block present ({{Skill|Zealot's Flame}} flip skill)
| |
| − | * {{Skill|Cleansing Flame}} - in melee
| |
| − | * {{Skill|Sword of Justice}}
| |
| − | {{Collapse end}}
| |
| − |
| |
| − |
| |
| − | ====Shield of Courage - for Zeal/Radiance====
| |
| − | {{Collapse start|Show}}
| |
| − | * Use {{Skill|Shield of Courage}} when pushing to block damage for your group
| |
| − | ** {{Skill|Shield of Courage}} will only block attacks from the front, face your enemies, but don't let yourself get out of position
| |
| − | {{Collapse end}}
| |
| − |
| |
| − |
| |
| − | ====Single Target====
| |
| − | * Pull targets with {{Skill|Hunter's Verdict}} ({{Skill|Spear of Justice}} flip skill) as the enemy group disengages from yours, never while both groups are crossing through each other
| |
| − | * {{Skill|Spear of Justice}} can be left on a target without using {{Skill|Hunter's Verdict}} to apply {{Tooltip|Revealed}}
| |
| − | * Use {{Skill|Chains of Light}} to follow up on {{Skill|Hunter's Verdict}} or to catch targets as enemies disengage
| |
| − | * If you have a chance to use {{Skill|Zealot's Fire}} or {{Skill|True Shot}} on an isolated target without projectile block, take it
| |
| − |
| |
| − |
| |
| − | ====CC====
| |
| − | * Use {{Skill|Hunter's Ward}} when:
| |
| − | ** Your group calls a spike:
| |
| − | *** Winds - {{Skill|Winds of Disenchantment}}
| |
| − | *** Wells - {{Skill|Well of Corruption}}+{{Skill|Well of Suffering}}
| |
| − | *** Shades - {{Skill|Desert Shroud}}
| |
| − | *** Traps - {{Skill|Procession of Blades}}+{{Skill|Test of Faith}}
| |
| − | ** On top of enemy downs (while alive players are on top of them)
| |
| − | ** Enemy groups moving defensively while your group is pushing
| |
| − | * Use {{Skill|Deflecting Shot}} when your group is crossing the enemy
