Attributes

• 13 Expertise (11+1+1)
• 11 Marksmanship (10+1)
• 11 Wilderness Survival (10+1)
• 3 Protection Prayers

14 Expertise is commonly used too, for better energy management, consider a different attribute spread or the use of a Major Rune along with Fortitude mods on bows and Survivor Insignias on Head and Feet.

Variants

• Blackout instead of Mending Touch (14 expertise, 10 Marksmanship, 10 Wilderness, 6 Domination Magic)
• Debilitating Shot instead of Pin Down
• Leech Signet instead of Lightning Reflexes
• Remove Hex for Mending Touch
• Hunter's Shot for bleeding spread and faking faking.

Equipment

• Stalwart Insignias (+10 versus physical damage)
• Vitae Runes
• Crippling Recurve Bow of Fortitude
• Poisonous Recurve Bow of Shelter (main set)
• Poisonous Longbow of Shelter
• Poisonous Spear of Fortitude + Shield of Fortitude (+10 vs Slashing, Piercing or Blunt, keep in inventory)

Usage

• Interrupt damage spells, bad hexes, healing spells and things like that depending on the situation
• Interruption sequence should optimally be magebane>dshot>magebane
• Rez control (don't fall for fakes)
• Spread poison after interrupting important skills
• Use Natural Stride to get closer to a target you plan to interrupt, as a block stance or an as anti-interrupt for your apply poison (doesn't always work so faking is to be considered when needed)
• Use Lightning Reflexes as a block stance or a quick poison spread
• Keep Apply Poison up as much as possible
• Cripple whatever could be annoyed by being crippled.
• Make wise use of Magebane's unblockable property (it goes through Shield Bash)
