So while waiting for the servers to come up I decided I would post my current build for discussion and feedback.
19/41/6 Marksman/Bard/Ranger
It's primarily designed around PvP, but so far it's been a good solo'ing build as well. I have a separate role for instances that I specced fully in to bard for.
Something with high burst damage (single target), decent survivability, and a few utilities to play with. I knew I wanted a bard primary build, due to the buffs, run speed, and heals.
I chose Marksman primarily for Deadeye (so far at lvl 24 I'm seeing strings of crits ranging from 500-700 dmg). Here's where I'm undecided:
On the Double - seems nice, but haven't tested it. Thoughts?
Static Shot - a root never hurts.
Master Archer? Penetrating Shots?
I have 2-6 remaining points that I'm undecided about. Feel free to offer up your thoughts.
I only chose ranger to synergize with Marksman, offering +5% crit, +ap buff, and a snare.
With this build I'm able to build combo points at an astonishing pace (with cadence/power chord and eventually riff), then rail my opponent with a deadeye shot doing anywhere from 350-700 dmg (which at lvl 24 is usually 1/4-1/2 an enemy's hp - I don't normally target warriors ).
Also with the snare from ranger, and the bleeds from Marks it'll help with runners.
