Waystalker Tips/Tricks :)?

[TwinkPrime]

Hey guys! Ive gotten pretty bored with Shade and figured its time to do some of the challenges on Waystalker. Currently I got full reds on mine with dual swords. Any tips or tricks from you waystalker mains? Or people who play her quite often ^^? Shes definitely very different from shade... hah. Not sure if dual swords are the best weapon for her? I also use longbow as well

Press F like really hard and constantly. Keyboards actually have pressure sensors now a days so the harder you press the more damage it does if you break your keyboard you basically one shot the entire map.

I've had some fun with the swift bow alongside sword n dagger on Cata. SnD is alright for keeping myself alive barring having the whole patrol on me while the swift bow melts hordes and is damaging enough against specials I don't need to worry about headshots as I would for longbow. If you are fortunate enough to have some CC teammates like an IB or Grail you can sit back and go full machine gun on the hordes, ideally at an angle of course so you aren't peppering them constantly.

Yeah Knight. Honestly the one thing I really struggle with is the elites! If they do manage to come up close to be and I cant use my bow much (like when the hordes on me to) Gosh they take a lot of time to kill with charged swings. I really think I may switched to Sword and Dagger when I get the red version of it. But right now dual swords and a spear is all I got haha.

For SnD against elites either a push attack into charged, or simply 2 charged attacks. The latter is better if some mooks are mixed in as the first charged attack has a bit more of an angle than the push. Need enough space to dodge around but can usually take out 2-3 armoured at a time with only some practice. Be sure to tag constantly so you can keep track of their movements/attacks.

Nooo I like being able to see above the horde! Haha :P

Waystalker player here and will talk about legend. I am using her as full anti-special and support, but i support mainly because i dont play serious anymore after 1k hours. I also wont give you the full build, because i am a special snowflake who doesnt play with bullcra* like thp.

The most important thing is Longbow with Power vs. Inf and Power vs. Chaos paired with a Charm that has Power vs. Inf and Power vs. Skaven. This together with the talents "Serrated Shots" and "Enhanced Power" lets you one-shot every special with a charged bodyshot. Gasrats and both Chaos sorcerers will die through the bleeding effect.

Rest of the talents are focused on the ulti + the talent for getting ammo back when killing elites and specials with the ulti.

Its a fairly simple build for smooth rides. I rarely use melee combat with it.

Presuming you are not playing premade, nor twitch/deed/cata and want to be an all-arounder:

• Scrap dual sword, it's garbage weapon. A single CW takes about 2 iceage to kill, and same goes to any superarmor and to some extent armor/shield as well.
  Go with S&D, or even dual dagger (but DD is really risky without premade or if you know what you do)
  
• Longbow is fine, hagbane also option, swiftbow for the meme
  
• talent wise, there are a few good ones and few avoid-at-all:
  - You will never, ever, EVER pick serrated shot and ricochet. This is not hanzo game and the bleeding is joke. You want DoT? Go hagbane, which ticks 4-5 DoT, serrated does 2
  - You will always pick party heal, even if you have a wannabe zealot, he will die first corner anyway, so screw him.
  
• Ult upgrades, extra 4th arrow is mehh, piercing shot is insanely situational and you lose the auto aim function for the ult (meaning no more saving teammate when grabbed/stabbed at a dropoff point or grabbed away into the middle of horde) so you are "stuck" with ammo refund, which is not a bad deal
  
• stack crit chance all the way everywhere, i prefer to pair it with BCR

asrei focus + spirit arrows + 10% cooldown reduction on trinket + resource ful combat trait on daggers = aahm yes pretty much spam f ! sry kidding is sold out... highest kill potential and dmg output of all carees... ez solo legend missions ( randoms cry and blame you because they dont get more than few trash mob kills in the whole mission...^^) and on cata you just need two mayflies with few braincells to cover your back and flanks...
and about the "meme" ... ^^ longbow with serrated shots are the new one... ;)

I hope this is either a joke or specificly for cata. Serrated Shot + Enhanced Power is the only way to one shot specials with a bodyshot on legend without having to rely on specific situations in the game.

i go with a double arrow! while its not always there it does kill any special even on cata. headshooting two elites with the same shot is priceless )

Glaive/Longbow Crit/Critpower! just fun see big numbers

I play swiftbow + sword and dagger.
Sword and dagger since it gives a nice mix of wave clean + dealing with elites, and swiftbow since with ther 5% return ammo on crit and stacking crit on everything + ammo regen on seeking arrows i dont run out of ammo.
I easily can double or even tripple the damage dealt by other by the team, even if it takes 10 headshots on a shieldrat i dont mind, stack attack speed and i will kill 6 of them before they get close and still have 90 arrows to spare and ulti.
Only thing you have to keep in mind is that you need charged shoot on armored and poison, otherwise you cant do ♥♥♥♥, but this way 2 or 3 arrows and armored rat on legend and hes done, dont charge fully let go as fast as you can so you can spray charged arrows.

Tried longbow and poison, but if im gonna play melee mostly i will pick different class as every talent you get is aimed at using your bow.
SD seems best overall weapon, while it dosnt clear waves best or does most damage, the fact it does armor piercing on third blow saved me from having to charge up for a single armored in a wave many times. Slash slash, aim third at armored head, slash slash third at armored in wave and i keep both at bay. But mostly nobody gets close to me, back to a wall and shoot everything that moves, ideally i wont switch to melee at all on many maps. Also all potions in one + swiftbow and you having fun even vs armored

Its a fun build, i think only class that can reliably only play ranged and not sacrifice the damage and crowd control while also clearing specials. Only big number of armored like patrols will be your problem, but that goes for many classes.

Yeah, i get the purpose for cata, but not for legend. Double arrow is just overkill for specials and too restrictive for bosses. Its certainly not that much better for CW.
