Finally nabbed a Tolan’s bracer - happy with the results. Down-time is eliminated at this point other than to summon arrows periodically - huge time saver not having to run zones away to restock. My 30 delay bow with sea-horsey belt haste and fleeting quiver can chew through stacks really really quickly. In the 10 minutes it used to take to run to FV and back to fill my bags with arrows I can now just summon 800 … or just spend 2 minutes summoning and get right back to killing.
Will pull and melee mobs until low health 20-30%. Bow kite mobs until health passively regens up (innate + ikky bp). Usually health is back up after a few mobs and then I can jump back in and melee mobs dead until low.
Meleeing is much faster but a ton of time saved in not having to med/heal up for each mob. Previously I was using arrows in a pinch only on mobs like ravishing drolvargs where I might not be able to toe to toe them down to the ground. Mana expenditure is minimal … just cheap root casts. On most mobs clicky snare works fine mana free. On ravishing I’ll use spell cast ensnare for the longer duration.
I will say I’ve also noticed something funky about Gleeds bow. It procs like crazy - way higher than expected. I suspect it is using the 49 delay on my argent protector to calculate the chance rather than the 30 delay on the bow itself.
Fun times.
