Blackarrow rotations

[Grumpisaw]

Hey, I am curious to see what rotations other BAs use in 1v1s.

I personally like to open with enhanced headshot, VT, then dot. I just pew pew on from there.

If it's a melee class I'll enhanced gash, VT, then enhanced headshot.

Also, a clever trick I've used against burgs: set down your normal trap and stand in the center. Works if you can get the trap down in time.

Add your two cents worth, I'm dying to hear...

Depending on what skills you have I'd never use VT before I get fully tiered keen eye, I hardly ever used skirmisher stance during RoR. To the rotations, BA's don't really have lot to choose from... Opening up with hindering shot, following up with flaming arrow+punc target is good way to start the fight. I haven't played for quite a while but thats how I used to play.

Burgers weren't really tricky.. Stun them early on and let them waste t&g while you kite him in fire trap. Also when burger pops t&g you should use snare and if you feel like responding with moving target feel free to do so. If burger decides to burn hips you could try to lure him into normal trap.

Trait dps->Enable keen eye-> Slow and start throwing missiles.

Personally as a ba i have my own movement against certain classes, sadly though my crits dissapoint me manytimes and they only show up on autoattacks :c.

Also i kinda disagree on such an early VT, Keen eye gives 25% dmg if i am right? VT + 25% = Awesomeness.

Good points, thanks for the insight, i'll try getting VT off later in my next few 1v1s,

Another question, has steadfast barrage ever been useful against anything but NPCs (in RvR that is)?
My problem with SB is the lack of mobility, sure you can equip that one trait, but it's not worth it.

Steadfast Barrage has lost it's usefulness many years ago, you might as well just remove it from your skill bar.

SB is nice for CGs or other high moraled NPCs, I usually crit 12-14k on them each hit.

Hi friend, I love you.

Steadfast is brilliant when you're trolling hunters who are trying to hide behind a pillar after you get em 1-2k morale before they get out of LoS, and other classes too depending on how much morale they got. Alot of times most have no clue whats hitting em... Got plenty of juicy kills using steadfast barrage after VT+revenge.

An excellent strategy, I'll try that one out too.

At TheMustelidian, we are not friends, I am not seeking initiation to your cult, go home.
