So I followed the meta A2-R1-Sc1-F3 meta build, only just hit F2 so got level 5 Magic Arrow. The skill is as awesome as everyone said. My question is, what kind of rotation do you guys use for bosses? MA has a really low CD, which is great but throws me off in terms of my rotation. Right now, I open up with it then broadhead, then drop barrage x3, at this point, usually even mid barragex2 my MA is already up so I’ll try to squeeze that in and then try to drop my multishotx2. The thing is, I definitely notice that between the mutlishots and barrage, there are times when MA is up for a few seconds before I recast it. I’m guessing that I need to priortize MA and make sure to just have it up every time it’s off cooldown and worry about everything else as I go along, is that right?
Swift Step / Steady Aim / Cloaking (ONLY use cloaking at the beginning) -> Magic Arrow -> Broadhead -> Barrage x 2/3 -> MA -> Barrage -> Flare Shot-> Broadhead -> Fillers
Keep spamming MA at all time. It’s you main source of dps.
Get atleast lv 10 into broadhead and spam that every 10 secs.
Basically:
- MA 2. Broadhead
Fillers: Barrage (shotgun) / DMA / Multi Shot
there is no fletcher dps rotation, you just use one of your skills and you one shot
MA + broadhead. Fillers would be barrage, xfire (for plate), barbed (leather and cloth), or twin arrows (for A3). I’m not sure if it’s just me but I dont see much damage change when I cast steady aim while the enemy is receiving broadhead or MA ticks.
Oh, thanks for the xfire idea, I only have points in barbed, broadhead and MA right now, didn’t even put the one point in xfire, but now tempted to for plate.
I wouldn’t go past 1 Crossfire. Crossfire is just an SP sink. For plated foes, use your other skills.
To add to what Nicola said, my skill bar contains the following skills:
- Barbed Arrow
- Oblique Shot
- Magic Arrow
- Barrage
- Multi Shot
- Broadhead
- Flare Shot
- Full Draw
- Bodkin Point (only for tree boss in missions)
- Flu Flu (panic button)
Use MA off cooldown. During its cooldown, you can do Flare Shots, Barrages, Broadheads, and finally Multi Shots. Once you reach C3, you can even throw DMA into the mix. If everything is on cooldown (rarely will happen), spam Barbed Arrow, or just auto-attack if plated or ghost armored.
Well, for me I usually just use BHA and MA at the highest priority, other are just filler.
SS - BHA - MA- Flare Shot - Steady Aim - MA - Barragex2 - MA - Barrage + BHA - MA - Multishot - MA - Multishot - MA - repeat
if all skills on CD, I use Heavy shot on PLate boss, and Barbed on leather/cloth.
