Weapon Set I
Upgrade Item Details
2 options: Improve Moment of Clarity or have a balanced build.

Otherwise, take Rune of Divinity and the Celestial amulet (change your trait adequally)
For Sigil, it's up to you. Sigil of energy is a good one. You can put i on both bow.
V. Basic Gameplay
You have two bow, so keep your distance. Beware of blocking or reflecting skills!
Main Skill Rotation
1)So before i start, i launch Troll unguent, it will help to sustain during the fight.
2)Hunter's Shot will help you to take position and land your Rapid fire. It's not an obligation to burn your Quickening zephyr but it help to start your burst.
3)Then, launch the F2 ability of your pet (daze), switch weapon and use Concussion shot to benefit from the Quickdraw. It will reload in 8sec~. Poison volley to prevent healing or regeneration.
4)With your second pet, use the daze-ing cry again.
5)Swap to long bow and use Point Blanck Shot (with quick draw). 4sec later it will be back again.
Note: Quickdraw will be always up each time you swap your weapon. So use the most important skill each time you switch: Point blanck shot et Concussion shot.
