Bow Fighter(Alpha 3.0)

The Bow Fighter is the Meta Build. It enables you to pressure other Players from a distance and help you clear pve from a save spot.

Skills

Second Wind:

Take Second Wind on Q. Since Second Wind has a one time limited usage it happens a lot that you press E accidently and waste the Skill. So make sure to switch the skills.

You can reload Second Wind at campfires it has the equivalent of a level 7 Spellslot. So a grey Campfire doesn´t recharge it.


Sprint:

Take Sprint on E. This Skill is on a low cooldown and should be spammed frequently, even against pve. Most people use this skill only to engage and chase enemy players, but often times it is better to use this skill to run away and prepare a reengage or shoot from the distance.

Perks

Weapon Mastery:

The core perk for this build, since it allows you to use bows and crossbows. It is also the best beginner Perk because you can use the first weapon you find.


Combo Attack:

Helps your damage output and gives you faster pve clears.


Swift:

Highly recommended, when wearing heavy armor. Otherwise use other perks.


Projectile Resistance:

Great Perk for pvp. Helps you fight Rangers, Wizards and other Bow Fighters. Also protects from throwing Knives and Franchisca Axes.


Counterattack:

Gives Attack and Movement Speed. Especially good against enemy players with two handed weapons.

Play Style

Solo:

You are at a disadvantage entering solo, so make the best out of it and use Guerilla Tactics!!!

You can hear enemy Teams almost every time beforehand and let´s you evade them. Avoid noise yourself.

Move at the outer circle of the map to avoid players.

Choose your fights. Wait for enemy players to start pve or be distracted by looting.

Poke from far away and disengage. Wear them down.

Hit hard and retreat.

Going through the swarm is not as punishing as you might think.


Team:

Communication is king. Communicate with your team when you hear enemy players, enter a new room, place a campfire.

Build a barricade of arrows and magic missiles with your teammates. Then switch to melee and be Frontline Fighter. Don´t rush blind into an new room. Protect your backline from Rogues!!!
