Rain of the Hunt
Page pick at level 4 · Area · 12 Focus · 0.5s cooldown
Hold to loose arrows into the sky ahead of you: a circle of rain rides in front of you (or glides onto the nearest pack), twenty arrows a second fall inside it, and after a second everything under it is Marked.
Builds: Rain Caller
Variants (one active at a time)
- Close Sky mastery 2 The rain stays close (3 to 5 strides ahead, over the foe you're fighting, 2.2 wide) and no longer drifts onto packs: it covers the foe in your face, and rains half again as hard.
- Fire Rain mastery 5 The arrows burn: each one that strikes has a 40% chance to set its foe Burning.
- Pinning Rain mastery 8 The arrows chill: each adds a stack of Chill, and the fifth freezes the foe solid (elites and bosses take half). 10% lighter.
Skipping Shot
