Overview
Galeshot build for open world. 
召唤旋风之弓 to overwhelm your enemies with all your projectiles, dealing respectable damage even at range, while providing yourself and nearby allies with permanent 
急速.
As a downside, this build struggles against enemies that can block or reflect projectiles, and requires frequent weapon swapping between your 2 basic weapons and the Cyclone Bow.

Weapon Variants
- Dual Maces Dual Maces - maces can replace axes to trade damage for more resilience through barrier, stability, healing, and more crowd control. Requires Expanded Weapon Proficiency from Secrets of the Obscure.
Skill Variants
Heal skill
We default to 
"同心治疗！" for its good healing, low cooldown, and boon extension. If needed, it can be replaced by:
和煦微风 - slightly higher cooldown but it cleanses 2 conditions and recovers 1 arrow.
Utility skill
We default to:
穿刺疾风 because it deals good damage
西北寒风 because it increases your projectile damage, and galeshots fire lots of projectiles.
旋风行动 as a stunbreak and mobility skill. Can be replaced if you don't need this defensive option.
If you want or need to run other skills, here are some suggestions:
风暴精魂 - extra AoE damage and cc.
冰霜陷阱 - extra AoE damage.
"快保护我！" - AoE stunbreak and personal barrier.
野性纹章 - passive damage. Never activate it.
新生纹章 - in condition heavy fights to cleanse conditions, but be ready to swap pets if its health gets too low.
Elite skill
We default to 
完美风暴 for its great damage and crowd control. On very rare situations, it can be replaced by:
自然精魂 - sacrifices your damage for an AoE revive.
Pet variants
The suggested Cheetah Cheetah is a feline, a family of pets that deal good damage. Its beast skill, 
草坪打击 helps with 
迅捷 uptime, which is important for the trait 
掠食鸟类. The second pet, the Jacaranda Jacaranda has good AoE damage and is somewhat tanky.
Other options include:
High damage pets
Good mix of damage and crowd control
- Smokescale Smokescale, Rock Gazelle Rock Gazelle, Boar Boar, any canine such as Alpine Wolf Alpine Wolf.
Good on-demand crowd control
Tanky pets
- Drakes such as Marsh Drake Marsh Drake provide the best mix of damage and tankiness, but bears, porcines, and devourers are also very tanky pets.
Specializations
Variants
猎食突袭 - significant damage increase but your arrows no longer pierce, so it might be worse when fighting packs of enemies.
尖锐刃锋 - minimal damage increase at the cost of 
活力 generation.
迅步力量 - if not using a feline, avian, or drake pet.
Note that 
远视 currently doesn't work with 召唤旋风之弓, so you can consider 
野狼之歌 instead. It is unknown if this is intended or a bug.
Equipment
Berserker

Upgrade to ascended gear as you progress. See also: Guide:How to Gear a Character.

Usage
召唤旋风之弓 is the profession mechanic of the galeshot. It replaces your current weapon with a wind bow. The bow starts with 8 arrows which replenish over time. Using Squall skills (the galeshot heal, utility, and elite skills) also replenishes arrows.
Casting bow skills 2 to 5 consumes arrows. After consuming 5 arrows, 
鹰眼射击 replaces skill 1. However, if you leave the Cyclone Bow, your stacks of consumed arrows are lost.
Due to the trait 
云爆之箭, the cooldown of 
箭雨倾泻 (skill 2) is reset when using 
猎物危机 (skill 4) or 
超声箭矢 (skill 5).
Damage
- Gain 急速 by using 箭雨倾泻 and 鹰眼射击 thanks to the trait 云爆之箭.
- To effectively use Cyclone Bow, you want to enter, cast your skills to generate 5 Wind Force, cast 鹰眼射击 and leave. One way to do that is to enter the bow, use 箭雨倾泻, 猎物危机, 箭雨倾泻, 超声箭矢 and 鹰眼射击.
- Be careful with the cast time of 鹰眼射击, do not interrupt it.
- Use 西北寒风 before unleashing your projectile burst to deal higher damage.
- Maintain 迅捷 or
奔驰疾速 to activate 掠食鸟类. You can easily gain switness from 
顺风动势 and 
乘风破浪, which also activates when swapping to/from the Cyclone Bow. - Crowd control recovers 1 arrow thanks to
激动捕获. Squall skills, such as 西北寒风 also recover one arrow.
Axe/Axe
- Use all your axe skills for damage.
- Use
分裂之刃 in melee range to hit your target with all axes and deal more damage. 
回旋防御 deals massive damage but has a long casting time, but you should have permanent quickness from 云爆之箭.
Longbow
- Longbow works great for starting fights with Barrage and Rapid Fire, but has less sustained damage. It also works great with 西北寒风.
近身平射 activates 顺风动势 for boons. However, do not use Point-Black Shot to push enemies away from your allies. This is not a concern against enemies with a defiance bar.
Defense
- Always keep moving. Move out of dangerous attacks or dodge them.
疾驰风裔 evades during its cast.
