My mid game NB bow build

I have to stress this is not a min/max build, it is simply one that suits my style of play and one I enjoy.

Most of the builds I see seem to be catered for particular content, this suits me. I tend to just like roaming about, knocking over available quests and delves and popping into the public dungeons. I don't run 4 man content yet and haven't had a serious go at maelstrom arena. I am about 240cp. Any run of different content would require a different build.

I am posting it just in case anyone wants something similar, plus to get any thoughts people might have.

So like I said, just a build I enjoy, some other solo mid game players may as well.

CP

My biggest problem with my NB was that he was squishy. I have added CP into medium armor, spell resistance, hardy and expert defender to help with that.

In the other CP trees I have added heavily into mighty/precise and Stam regen/Stam cost decrease traits.

Resource points

All of my points are in stamina, which leaves me a bit low on health. I use bi stat food 5k health/Stam to help buff.

Armor

Vampires kiss 5/5
Briarheart 5/5

Because of the squishy issue, I picked two armor sets to help with heals, vampires kiss and the briarheart set.

Vampires kiss gives me an extra 1k health along with increased healing and recovery, but the kicker is a 5k heal when I kill an enemy. This gives me the ability to take on groups of mobs without any trouble.

In line with wanting to take on groups of mobs, I wanted some more health buffs, but also weapon damage increases.

Briarheart gives me extra weapon critical and stamina, my critical attacks give a 10% chance to Inc my weapon damage by 400, and when they do I get a heal from crits for 600.

Armor traits/mundus

With such a bonus from crits, I used divines on the armor and the thief mundus to get my critical % above 60. This turns endless hail into a massive health buff. The more mobs on me, the better the heals.

I am still tweaking my enchants, jewelry I am using Stam recovery/health ATM, but likely to use these for weapon damage increase, I am finding combining relentless focus with siphoning strikes helps with stamina management.

For armor, I have health enchants, but as my CP grows I am swapping these out for Stam/damage.

Ultimates

I use the fighters guild ultimate for the extra 5% damage passive on my main bar. I swap on whichever tickles my fancy on the back bar.

I am using bow/DW daggers, all sharpened. But dagger bar is mainly for buffs.

    Most will reccomend getting Vigor from pvp for your heals but, I totes understand if you can't be bothered with that. I personally reccomend swapping vampire's out for hundings and slotting bloodthirst on your DW bar, as that will be far more reliable than on-proc heals, which is what you need.

    That's just to get you started though, and it's nowhere near the best setup

    Yup, I am far from where I need to be, this is really the first step. Tempted to trade out vampires for twice born and use shadow/thief with a crit focus. With the increase CP, survivability is much better.

    That does look like where I want to head. But I kind of want to tweak to it as I go. I hate just copying builds, I find if I work up to them I understand them a lot better. Bow/bow will probably be where I end up. I am finding I just don't enjoy melee, just my playstyle.
