How to be a pro HB

Id like to ask if DT is better than SS.
And what are the skills that i need to maxed out( if im going to main dt for my main dps skill)
What xtals and equip should i get....
And lastly how can i spam dt and fix my ampr problem without sacrificing too much efforts.

Ps. I can use t4 skills.

 

Dmg wise (no armor type fights) SS > DT due to ss's status ailment buff, but if it''s high armored DT will win since it has 100% pierce unlike SS, it will get reduced by a lot. It's also worth mentioning that DT takes lesser proration than SS since u probably need 1 patk only and rest are buffs if u wish to be proration wise, SS would typically take 2 or 3 patk in combo and it hurts on proration XD.

If u'll go with DT, I'd suggest that to go full atk and cdmg, no questions asked (DT lv 10 has 75 crit + 25 from char base crit = 100 crit all the time). Abuse long range of DT btw and it also increases with long range passive of bow which is kinda nice.

As for the mp problem, I use war cry of struggle (kinda bad but better than nothing), it requires 1mp to use and if hp is low at a certain point it gives a lot of mana back (lv 10 = 50% hp 3mp regain) it's also rather fast since at lv 10 it has 1sec casting time only so fast recharge.

Use a heavy buff type combo, but still 1mp to spam DT, also preferable if castable 8+ since it will proc long range dmg a lot

 

DT has 15 total multiplier and 100%phys pierce but no skill power.
Sstab had 13.5 total multiplier(with ailment) or 7.5 total multiplier(without ailment) and total 300 skill power but need ailment and pray.

What kind of 'pro' do you want?

1)For mp: you can use war cry if struggle. The only reliable mp regen for hb.
If you want to get a full dt build, at least get lv1 of pray or lv9 pray+sstab for additional dmg.
Use pray for prorate. Normal attack is useless if u go full dt (no cr, no hit, always miss). Or hope your party prorate for you.

2) Combo: I usually use sstab as opener (cast pray at least once b4), no problem with mp, just use warcrystruggle. *unless you go fast farming on boss, use 1mp combo*
Or use 1mp combo to add ailment, then use sstab opener combo for the rest of the fight.
2) xtall n build:
For dt all out, go attack and cdmg. If u use pray like me, get choco ooze ii or use *forgot the name of additional that gives cspd*.
The rest of xtall go to survivability and attack. Mp is good too if you need more.

3) Skills:
A must have: DT, long range dmg from shot skill.

Good, depend on playstyle: impact, quickdraw(shot skill), battle skill(if you have enough sp), arm break(for double smite dt+sstab without impact, conditional, and lethargy is good ailment), lv1 warcry(for save, or atck increase at lv10 is good too), gsw (very highly conditional, use at your own risk, need professional hand to use), maximizer (for out of battle fight mp regen), shukuchi(when walking is tiring), power wave.... (wait no, you have low cr, not recommended, take it if u like)
What else... Hmm...

 

being a pro step 1.

dont copy builds by without knowing the purpose of the builds. in fact, dont copy builds and just learn from them.

 

Thanks for your guides and tips guys.
Im trying my best to gasp all of this.
One thing im struggling rn is sbout this proration thing.
should i go gwa+tyr or gwa+tator or gwa+ultima for weap?

 

Gwa+ Tyr/Grecia is best for DT
Gwa+ Tator = 1% atk lower, ampr useless, Anticipate is nice
Gwa+ Ultima = no atk%, pierce% useless in DT (it has 100% already), 4mp is nice, 4% short makes u go 7m all the time to use its bonus, kinda bad xD

 

Well you already know lol
If regular boss farming or fighting boss with not so high defense, i do SS
If gemrun boosted or just high def I use DT

SS+DT ftw ^^
Plus no mp issues ever
