Hello again everyone! Been tinkering with a fresh build but honestly I'm not sure the importance of reaching certain defensive milestones as opposed to slotting for more recharge, currently sitting at 45% ranged and just a hair under 50% S/L resistance while still bringing perma hasten and +22% ToHit for quick snipe (empty slot in Explosive Shot for KB -> KD that isn't in Pines). Also, how useful is Bonfire slotted for knockdown in terms of utility? Is Flame Mastery worth going into over others just to get it? Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks so much in advance!

Alright. It looks good on paper, but I'm not a fan of the many sacrifices you had to do to get there, like 6 slotting two powers that you won't ever use and not having room for Glue Arrow and double stacked holds. Next issue/patch the snipe mechanics will be reworked making +22 ToHit less of an artificial magical goal. My Archery/Tactical is soft-capped ranged, and just shy of perma (but realistically perma due to 2 +recharge procs), less sturdy, but with better endurance management on fewer slots used and is generally much more versatile. Make sure you always, always find room for Gaussian's proc in a self +DMG power, with 1 recharge it will trigger 90% of the time for reliably hyper-spiked alpha strike carnage. Procs in stustain power/Stamina is less efficient than 2 regular End Mod IOs (only better than a 3rd regular IO due to diminishing returns ED).
