Good Ultimate for Bow Bar

ForlornBeliever · April 2016

I recently decided to go back to using a bow on one of my characters but I'm not sure which ultimate best suits it. The bar is mainly for dealing some AoE/DoT and debuff/buffs so I'm not going to be staying on it during the fight. The two I've seen the most in builds I've checked are Flawless Dawnbreaker and Meteor. Is one of these two a good choice or is there something better?

Forgot to mention the character is a stamina build in case that's a factor.

Werewolf transformation is definitely better

.
Tbh as a nightblade with bow I don't use much of ultimates because they are short range and I kill most enemies from distance. But I have Death Stroke morphed into Soul Harvest - to deal with those crazy enough to run at me, and then they are killed even faster

.
This ulti does not much damage but "•While slotted, each kill generates increased Ultimate" so it renews very fast.

meteor on bow bar for me, soulstrike isnt bad either but not as effective for a stamina build.

Since I use my bow bar in a similar way, for buffs/healing/utility, I usually slot an Ultimate that I use defensively. Soul Tether gives a lot of healing + AOE stun + damage, or Devouring Swarm if you're a vamp.

Thanks for the suggestions.

If your bow is your secondary weapon, then meteor.

If your bow is primary, then Flawless DB.

You want Flawless DB on the bar you spend the vast majority of your time on. So, if you're using your bow simply to apply poison injection and arrow barrage, and then swapping back to something else on your primary, then have meteor on your bow bar. When your meteor is ready to cast, just swap to your bow, drop the meteor, and swap back.
