new archer build, need help with second mastery

[lordfalco]

hi all, it has bene a while that i played an archer, previus one was a bonecharmer. now i want to make a new one. one that can also aply some good slowing effect (like hamstring would do). what do you guys suggest? i first though of an slayer, but markmenship en onslaught both are lmb attacks.
can you do suggestions, maybe post builds to? and how with atribute ppoints 18(quest reward) to hp, but then how much for energy, and str/dex?

For that job, a bow Brigand (Rogue + Hunting) would be sweet. You can slow down and confuse enemies while staying out of danger. The build pretty straight-forward on Attributes, go 1:1 Str and Dex. Resist the urge to spend points into Energy, just drink blue potions or use a Spectral Matter. HP isn't really needed.

Skills.

brigand is what i really want to play. i've already planned one but i simply don't have the time to play.

Slayer (Hamstring), Ranger (Plague), Brig (Nightshade) and Haruspex (Distortion Wave) all get good slowing effects. The disadvantage with Ranger and Haruspex is that it must be cast specifically, thus breaking your attack routine. Brig and, to a degree, Slayer (you can alternate Marksmanship on LMB with Onslaught on RMB) can both do it without interrupting their attack routines.

i worked on the brigand build given and gave more pints, if i can get some tips and advice on it?

lethal strike as boss killer, poison gas bomb 1 point for extra slow in aoe. flushout and takedown when i need to attack some bosses with spear.
not sure if the gas bomb and detonate is wroth it. can anyone tell me that?

This would be my final bow brigand build:

I'm level 56 at the moment, but this is what I'd be looking at end game.

I hate traps (dabbled in those then just rebought the points) and I think poison gas bomb is useless, as well as monster lure. None of those things are needed imo because the DPS on a bow brigand is INSANE.

I'd rather max out those "spare" points and just max out my poison damage with envenom or toxin distillation etc.

EDIT: Disregard the link, apparently I failed at copypasting >.>

lethal strike as boss killer

It does sound great on paper, however LS with a bow isn't that great of a skill. If you don't mind hitting the weapon swap button before a boss fight it will do wonders using a high damage Spear + gear + (- resist) + stats.

Anyways, just try for yourself, LS and all the others skills. Just avoid Gouge, anatomy and some others = useless.
