Build updated.

[Meredy_Redleaf]

Hehehe, thanks, I'm almost done with my ranged TK, my dual blades was next and I wasn't sure who was to be next... Now I know!
(Time to get more 40, I'm lagging behind :-p)

I have a question regarding the Quarry advantage. Do you not like the health on kill or is it just that the extras damage etc. is better and just rely on Bountiful Chi Resurgence and Bionic shielding?

Thanks for the build update, I do enjoy reading your build guides.

I have never needed the health on kill against weak mobs as BCR and Bionic Shielding are overkill and against solo bosses Fair Game becomes two wasted advantage points while BCR and Bionic Shielding remain more than enough to stay alive.

I prefer passive bonuses to be "always on" rather than situational in a nutshell and there are situations where fair game is just sitting idle.

Whats da deal with Archery? The Archerys energy builders range is only 50 range. All of its attacks are 100 range.. why? Doesn't make any since.. I have to go up close to build energy. Wouldn't this build be better off with a 100 range energy builder?

Parity. None of the energy builders have 100 foot range. Also, you don't need to close to 50 with this build to get energy. Activate BCR and wait for MSA to kick in before beginning combat. Your energy builder in this build should be a novelty 99% of the time.

[netblaise]

wow nice.. Can't wait till 23.. I just hit 20 with this build was going to get BCR now then get MSA later but changed my mind. Wanted to follow the build... It seems like with every new lvl and ability this build gets better and better. Lots of fun... The best 3 Builds that I like so far is this one, RELIC (Heavy Weapons), and Ice/Fire. Really good lvling builds...

So, I see you last updated this build in May, and I have a noob question ( since, come hell or highwater, I only get a gist of the basics of freeform, but I'm learning ). Or rather let me see if I get something correctly....Lock and Load is still better than Concentration right? Because of the reasons you just listed? If i am reading the description correctly, Concentration has the exact opposite effect as well where power cost is concerned doesn't it? Or is there some advantage to concentration not listed ( I have no clue when it became a toggle or if it was a power before the changes they made recently)......

[aeol]

I did an Archer build slightly different. I avoided Focused Shot, I just didn't like it & added a thematic wolf =P. One of the rare builds I do without imbue as well lol. I went with Concentration because there is a solid maintain to help you get your stack up or just stand further back.

How do you feel about the adv on the EB? Gives a boost to dodge and avoidance, is it significant?

It's not significant on its own. It's just one piece of a bunch of dodge stacking. It can be omitted if you find yourself not using the energy builder much if at all.

Build Revised.

Kenpo--

I'm having trouble with this build. How do you use it? Usually, after a bit of practice, I can beat 5-man Hard in the Powerhouse at level 40 with your builds. But with this one I can't get past 2-man Normal. I suspect I'm not using the powers as intended.
