    nothing fancy here...great race/class combo...

    go medium armor...idk what else to suggest cuz this is probably the most generic and straightforward class/weapon build out there

    Bow

    Camouflage Hunter – Stealth damage increase and amazing DPS against Undead. Did I mention critical bonus too?
    Poison Injection – Our priority damage over time that will give massive weapon damage via masters bow.
    Acid Spray – Literally our one AoE ability that hits like a Mac Truck powered keg!
    Lethal Arrow – Our spammable DPS ability with a 1.1 cast time.
    Repear’s Mark – Debuff and massive buff for more damage over five seconds after enemy dies.
    [Ultimate] Flawless Dawnbreaker –

    Two Hander (Sword)

    Ambush – For closing distances and dropping Veil of Blades ultimate.
    Rally – Heal and our long lasting Major Brutality buff.
    Relentless Focus – 8% more damage, 10% more stamina and I hard hitting proc, it’s great. Trade this out for something if healer is running combat pray.
    Wrecking Blow – I use this from stealth to start off combat sometimes netting a 80,000 hit. Otherwise don’t use it much.
    Killers Blade – Our execute that scales at 25%. Most players recommend Executioner which is great, but with 100 points into Thumaturge and a big heal on the end, I take Killer’s Blade.
    [Ultimate] Veil of Blades – A great damaging dealing ultimate that reduces damage while inside of the ult. I’ll probably switch this out for Mages Guild Ice Comet for more range in Update 7.

    Killers Blade – Our execute that scales at 25%. Most players recommend Executioner which is great, but with 100 points into Thumaturge and a big heal on the end, I take Killer’s Blade.

    When someone asks for build suggestions, I'm guessing a build based on having 100 CP to place in a single Champion passive is not what they are looking for.

    Then again, they could have a max level main and 300 CP so I guess that makes sense.

    Bombard is better then acid spray. Infinite rooting of entire groups. Common mistake. you dont have to split cp into poison damage and physical damage to make poison effective, you can just put it all into physical, ending up with a far stronger bombard then your acid spray will ever be.

    And the stupid thing is on this game.. When you press 'square' you will be just as good as someone that uses 2h 100% of the time. So you can be both the strongest archer whilst also being the strongest warrior. Fail logic is fail..

    Slightly outdated. I would put relentless focus on the bow bar as 4 light or heavy attacks proc the specral bow now. For pve, it's a nb's hardest hitting non-ultimate attack.

    You have to be careful morphing snipe to lethal arrow and arrow spray to acid spray. The reason for this is because both are poison damage. You must decide where to focus your champion points. If you decide to be ranged almost all the time, then the poison morphs are good and you can put most of your cp's into thuamaturge to buff your poison damage.

    However, if you want to be equally viable as melee and ranged, putting cps into tham will gimp your 2h attacks because all 2h attacks are physical damage. In this case, you should choose focused aim and bombard for snipe and arrow spray, and put your cps into mighty, as those morphs are physical damage. This will buff all your 2h attacks, along with focused aim and bombard. The only bow attack left out is poison injection.

    It all depends on how you want to play.

    Also, 2h maul is better than sword. 20% armour penetration nets more damage than the 5% buff, especially because in the ic update, swords no longer buff overall damage by 5%, but rather, buff weapon damage only. Remember that damage is based off weapon damage and max stamina. This is a huge nerf to swords, which makes maces the only choice left for 2h.

    Executioner is better than killer's blade because killers blade is stupidly left as a magic damage attack, even though it's stamina based. Executioner in the 2h tree is physical damage, so it gets the buff from the mighty champion point passive. Executioner also buffs the damage of all 2h attacks and abilities when the enemy is at 25% health, including light and heavy attacks. It also starts doing enhanced damage at 50%. This is a much better option then killer's blade, which is magic damage, doesn't buff damage of other melee attacks and does enhanced damage at 25%.
