Alright I need help with my dw/bow build. I've been leveling mainly bow as the flaming arrow are and bombard let's me tackle packs 7 levels higher then me. But now as I am lvl 46 and nearing endgame I need advice.... Some questions. All in regards to pve.

Should I run bombard for the root on trash of the dot? Running the root and fire are works well and also the root maintains the trash group for others aoes. Or is the root worthless for vet dungeons?

Trying to build my dw bar as single target for bosses... It doesn't seem like lethal arrow +Hawkeye does as much damage. My bars are as follows.......
Dw: whirling blades (for stay regeneration), killer lade(execute), mirage for evasion, reapers mark, and swallow soul.
Bow: bombard, fire aoe, poison injection, lethal arrow, siphoning attacks.

For trash I just pop mirage, siphon, then aoe and root till gone.
For boss I run mirage, siphon,, poison injection, Mark, swallow, aoe. Then 3 lights followed by snipe, lightx2, poison, lightx2, aoe. Then start over.

I'd like to use a dw single target dps for boss using only posion arrow. Then dw abilities.


So should I switch to steel torn?

I figure I have 2 options... Keep bombard for trash and run a dw /dot cycle for single target.

Or I can switch from bombard to poison and then just use bow to maintain dots for single targets and use tornado with aoe for trash......

Help!

    Neither! Remorph to steel tornado. Here's a bar set up that will be more useful:
    Dw- steel tornado, evil hunter, killers blade, surprise attack, relentless focus
    Bow- reapers mark, poison injection, scorched earth, siphoning attacks, mirage.
    Bombard is decent but nothing beats steel tornado. While Hawkeye is nice, multiple light attacks in a row will kill your dps. Only use bow for main damage if you have to. Otherwise use surprise atack. Don't use funnel health on a Stam blade as it doesn't do enough damage or healing to be worth it. If you want more damage swap in trap beast or rending slashes.
