Whats all the fuzz about RoA (Rain of Arrows)???

Riffie · 26-04-2007, 09:26 AM

I see a lot of huntes saying "RoA ROOOCKS!", "when you get RoA you are going to ROCK..." and so on.

I have RoA and I use it, but not that often. Yes its nice that it hits multiply targets and have a much higher crit rate, but I'm not all that exited about it.

I usually tend to use my swift arrow and penetration shot as main skills.

So is there any secret info around the RoA that I need to know ?

Well, the RoA is a good skill. Theres not much to say about it but one thing is sure... it rocks when u go to ettenmoors and own some monsters approaching in groups.

like 4-5 hunters with roa can take out quiet a lot of monsters with 1 rain

In normal situtations its only good to keep aggro from healers or if u fight mobs like bads or hawks with low hp and big groups

Rain of Arrows is pretty good as it is, and if you get the trait that increases it's power (+25% chance to crit and +25% damage on crits IIRC) it is very very good.

But please, for the sake of *everyone* else you're grouped with, do not *ever* hit rain of arrows unless either every mob around is already aggroed or everyone else is the group has said you can. Hunters that spam RoA and pull aggro from eveything in sight are the #1 cause of deaths/group wipes on medium-high level quests where every mob is an elite.
