    Marksman and hawk eye underperform in mist cases to sets like swamp raider/auto Spriggans and morag tong and yes ganking is still a thing it’s just less widespread

    how much is the difference? i mentioned marksman and hawk eye because they also come with 10% bow abilities cost and 5% all stamina abilities cost. Do morag tong 10% damage is worth more than marksman 8% damage with 5% stam abilities cost? or is % damage less worth than four units of stats?

    Yh it is w the asylum combo. But hawks eye sucks for dmg and marksman (while close) has less dmg compared to morag or Spriggans

    so u say marksman is almost equal, but equal considering 5% stam abilities cost reduction, and hawk eye is replaceable? by morag/spriggans

    Sustain is almost useless on a gank build. Morag outperforms because of 2 wep dmg bonus and 2%
    That being said I’m finding swamp raider fun rn w Spriggans.
    Tho marksman + morag or marksman + swamp raider/automaton would work well for a pure sniper

    i was asking for battlegrounds build, there rarely you get a one shot from stealth, which will make you kite around which involves breaking free and dodge rolling a bit. That's why i liked marksman cuz the recovery and cost reduction is pretty useful, but i may replace hawks eye with something else like morag/spriggans

    I have done a lot of ganking in bgs and tbh i can get easy 1shots w the snipe incap combo. When I’m out of stats I tend to meditate in stealth while I wait. Try marksman Spriggans if u want it should have good dmg
    Morag tong would be better for the asylum bow cuz ur snipe hits 2nd
    The concept was made by decimus(on yt)

    Also what about magblade? I have a magblade alt but have never used it for ganking

    zaan, caluurion and overwelhming

    try that combo

    Beware tho, this setup requires an incredible amount of experience and skill to play even at a decent level. Only for pros!

    I am flattered :).

    Aurora you mean

    If you want to get technical then, yeah, I'll second that. The pen buffs your other procs and the lightning is a guaranteed proc during a gank. The AOE from either set is useful against other NBs, however since Lotus Fan gained the guaranteed Minor Vulnerability, this has IMO narrowed the gap between those lightning sets and others. Spinner, BTB, Alfiq and Necropotence are all solid choices, or even Shacklebreaker and Amber Plasm, if you don't have your stam sustain sorted otherwise. Depends how much of an all-round build you want to be, as opposed to a pure ganker. I am in the former camp and am wearing BTB with Zaan and Caluu. I also make some large compromises, such as building for maximum speed, very high sustain and using a dual-regen drink for stamina sustain. While I remain very squishy, this takes my build into brawler / ganker hybrid territory.
