Note before this built is from Xynode (Xynode gaming)


Many have tried and wondered "can you play using double bow"? YES of course you can but it was always somewhat difficult to fit around other setups due to the lack of monster setup utility if using 2x 5 piece sets. However with Summerset, the bow is now worth 2x pieces so you can easily fit 2x 5 piece sets and a full monster set. Pushing this playstyle over the edge and bringing it in line with other types of dps builds.

This playstyle is incredibly unique however and somewhat alien to the majority of the players in the game because although it has been eagerly anticipated, many have tried and failed and try too hard to play it like a melee dps. The trick to this is to STAY ranged!

Everything we use is ranged damage. The bow passives increase your damage at range so make sure you utilize this.
At range of course we don't have the same protection as melees may have since with dual wield you can take advantage of deadly cloak to protect you. BUT your agility is where your strong point is, you are a long way away from the target and you are FAST.


Most explosion AOEs pop and then have smaller AOEs that spread from the center. You will see this for example in Cloudrest and Halls of fabrication, the bonus for you is, since you are far away from the main danger, you have more time to react and it is much easier to avoid such things due to your speed and distance.

The light attacks and heavy attacks are incredibly important. Remember in the Hawk eye passive you must stack up 5x 5% damage bonuses by applying multiple light and/or heavy attacks. Every light or heavy will restart the timer at it's current state counting down again from 5. If you keep this up the whole time and have a clean rotation you will always have that 25% maximum damage bonus to your bow.
ALSO this timer is exactly the same as Relequen, meaning so long as that timer is never lost, you will have 100% uptime on Relequen also for maximum damage.
You are ranged remember so unlike melee using Relequen where moving around could cause you to loose the proc (away from the fight for more than 5 seconds) you are RANGED, meaning it is so much easier for you to keep up those lights and heavies even inside mechanics. Keep your eyes peeled, keep your rotation clean and you will do just fine.

Finally, YOGI bear himself. This bear hits like a stream train! His ultimate is incredibly strong so be sure to use it as SOON as you can especially during execute phase of a target because his damage gets crazy high on low health targets.
TIP: heavy attacking a different target tells the bear to focus that one instead. Failing that he will hit who he likes.



Good sustain

Agility is your survivability, so keep your buffs up and don't stop attacking.

High damage from range and an incredibly cheap powerful ultimate.

EVERYTHING you do procs your sets for effortless results so long as you keep up those lights and heavies.

Acquirable gear especially since Summerset trials are the cream of the crop for pickup groups.

One set is buy-able/craftable so very easy to pick up and get started.

A totally new and unique playstyle alien to most but when understood is incredibly powerful.

STAYING ranged, it maximizes your damage output! 20meters is optimal, don't go too far though else Subterranean won't reach.

FINALLY a viable fun way to use the bow Robin hood and Yogi bear kicking it together!


ENJOY!
