Galeshot - Quickness Support Power DPS

• Despite apparent synergy, Cyclone Bow is not considered a ranger weapon for the purposes of 远视.
• You could run 尖牙利爪 for more 激怒 (see Boons section below for more details).
• If an encounter has phases under 30 seconds, with split phases long enough to recover arrows in, you could run 鸟类聚集 for damage and support. But if you miscalculate and run out of arrows, this will be a massive DPS loss.
  • In this case, Raptor Swiftwing would be the highest damage pet.

• Galeshot can easily provide permanent 急速 without any boon duration.
• This gear is the same as used by the full DPS build.
• A 超级水能法印 can replace the 超级冲击法印 on Axe against targets that cannot be stunned.
• 潜行者古物 is the best core relic option for players that don't own Janthir Wilds.

Food:

• 碗装甜辣冬南瓜汤 or ascended versions

Utility:

• 超级磨刀石

The defining feature of Galeshot is their Cyclone Bow - a weapon always available from 召唤旋风之弓 that consumes arrows for each skill. While using the Cyclone Bow, each weapon skill other than 敏捷之箭 will build up stacks of Wind Force. Each stack increases your movement speed and damage via 狂风之力 and upon reaching five stacks, 敏捷之箭 is transformed into the significantly powerful 鹰眼射击. Thanks to 狂风之力, this also converts the buff from Wind Force into a more powerful version that persists outside of Cyclone Bow (Wind Force stacks are otherwise lost when exiting the weapon).

Galeshot's rotation is a little over 20 seconds and during this time you use 13 arrows. You should restore four naturally over the same period, three from CC skills, at least one from your pet's CC skill, and two from Squall use. Every other loop you restore three from 完美风暴 (as it is also a CC skill). This means that you will slowly lose arrows even if you get a second CC from a pet swap, and accidentally using additional Cyclone Bow skills can be costly. If phases do run long enough for this to become a problem, you can use 和煦微风 during downtime (or if you absolutely have to, when you would otherwise be autoattacking in Cyclone Bow).

Boons

Thanks to 云爆之箭, each use of 箭雨倾泻 or 鹰眼射击 applies 威能 and 急速 in a 480 unit radius around you, which is larger than the standard 360 unit of most classes.

Your only other source of boons is a small amount of 激怒, 威能 and 迅捷 on swapping pets (via 野性号角).

Unfortunately, the need for CC on your pets limits your ability to provide other boons via pet abilities, though this is less of an issue on encounters with shorter phases and split phases where you can recover arrows.

The majority of boon specs can generate 50%+ uptime on 激怒, so Galeshot's is noticeably low. If you absolutely need to provide more, you could swap to 尖牙利爪. This is a relatively small DPS loss, but you would only generate an extra ~30% 激怒. You should use Raptor Swiftwing instead of Fanged Iboga in this case.

Rotation

Galeshot's most important utility is . For the duration of this skill, every projectile fired through it will deal a small extra hit of damage and so the build uses two projectile weapon sets (plus the Cyclone Bow), and the burst is centred around launching as many projectiles in that six-second window as possible.

Thanks to , and reset 's cooldown, allowing you to use it in quick succession for boons

Opener

Start on Longbow. If you are pet swapping, start on Carrion Devourer and use as soon as you can (it has no cast time for you), then pet swap.

1. (optional) - you only want to use this if you can precast it before the encounter begins as otherwise you'll want to start providing as soon as possible
10. - Using F5 to dismiss the bow will not interrupt the cast of your current skill
12. Weapon Swap

Axe Section

1. (if available)
7. - this launches you backward so be careful with positioning and run back to the group immediately.
8. Autoattack until Bluster is available
16. - cast this as soon as it comes off cooldown, you don't need to wait for Whirling Defense to finish
17. Weapon Swap

Longbow Section

6. (if available)
10. (if Perfect Storm was not used this loop)
15. Weapon Swap
16. Return to start of Axe Section

General Tips

• is an evade, and you can slightly adjust its position in the Cyclone Bow section in order to avoid dodging - don't end up delaying though.
• If you are pet swapping, do so just after , then swap back as soon as possible and use immediately. Swap once more after the next .
• Carrion Devourer is the best pet swap for DPS. You can also restore arrows if you make sure it is in melee range so it will use its knockback attack.
  • If arrow generation is not a priority, you can also wait for a second use of before swapping back.

CC

Due to and , you use your CC during your rotation. You could bring a pet such as Electric Wyvern to swap to if you need more, and you have some flexibility to delay your pet's skill as well to make it line up with defiance bars.

• - 300 defiance break
• - 150 defiance break (the tooltip is incorrect)
• - 150 defiance break
• - 232 defiance break
• - 150 defiance break
• If your Carrion Devourer is in melee range, it will occasionally use Tail Lash on its target, doing a 150 defiance break

Variants

• Your main pet should be something with CC to provide extra arrows from .
• Raptor Swiftwing is the best main pet for players that don't own Path of Fire.
