Forked Arrow

Dual Shot

Distracting Shot

Brutal Weapon

Glass Arrows

Whirling Defense

Optional

Resurrection Signet

• In the optional slot, use Antidote Signet or Troll Unguent depending on where you plan on operating.

Equipment

• Scout's Insignia or Brawler's Insignia if you feel the need for defense, Radiant insignia otherwise.
• A Vampiric Recurve or Short Bow and a Sundering Short or Recurve bow.

Usage

To use this build, maintain Glass Arrows at all times. When you're about to engage a foe, cast Brutal Weapon on yourself, then use Forked Arrow followed by Dual Shot for a quick spike, then simply shoot them until Forked Arrow and Dual Shot recharge. Repeat as necessary until foe is dead, maintaining Glass Arrows and Brutal Weapon.

If there is a Bonder on your team, tell them to not bond you unless its absolutely necessary.

Variants

• RA Variant: Use Troll Unguent and take one level away from Communing to put into Wilderness Survival
• TA Variant: Use Antidote Signet to keep yourself clean so your healer can focus on healing you.
• Use Needling Shot to apply constant DPS after spikes.

Counters

• Hexes such as Faintheartedness will prevent Forked Arrow from triggering and will slow your damage output
• Missing from Blind or hexes
• Blocking, to a lesser extent; you will still make them bleed.

Notes

This build was inspired by the name of Build:R/any_Brutal_Glass_Spiker however that build does not combine Brutal Weapon and Glass Arrows.
