Skill Bar
Skill Bar Variants
Utility
For the optional slot:
-
"快保护我！" - a stun break on a short CD which also grants a significant amount of barrier. -
狩猎纹章 - the signet's useful against any build that relies on blocking or projectile reflection for survival. Consider taking 空槽 on Marksmanship. -
磐石纹章 - if you want a panic button that helps you live through any amount of direct damage.
Pet options:
- Tiger Tiger can replace Rock Gazelle Rock Gazelle if you own Heart of Thorns but not Path of Fire. If you have both of these expansions then it's just a matter of personal preference, Tiger works great with the GS burst combo.
If you're F2P and do not own any of the expansions, take the following pets (these pets are also viable if you do own them):

Utility
Usage
General
-
Dodging applies
保护, which also heals thanks to the trait 
粗糙生长. -
Survival skills cure 2 conditions and grant Fury.
巨魔药膏 can cleanse 4, because it triggers another Survival skill from 
大地之子. -
Use
猛扑 for mobility. -
和风疾速 has many uses. -
Pet swapping acts as a Blast finisher thanks to
野性号角. Being instant, you can have Smokescale place a 
障目烟云 under you (even while you're stunned), and swap pets for AoE stealth. -
猎手暗箭 is the easiest way to gain stealth in this build, but if the projectile misses then it won't be applied. To reduce the chance of that happening (and considering how the damage of this skill is horrible) you should fire it at pets, mesmer clones, and other AI whenever possible. Alternatively, use it to quickly get rid of 
目盲 or 
圣盾 because it's the fastest projectile on this weapon. -
磐石纹章 is extremely useful against direct damage spikes, but you have to use it proactively and sometimes even predict when the burst is coming. Use it too late and it's wasted, too soon and your opponent can just delay its plan until the signet runs out.
Doing damage
-
Using
"群攻之力！" before a burst makes it less likely to get interrupted whilst also increasing your damage. -
Most of the build revolves around burst combos and just surviving / using fillers inbetween.
The Longbow burst combo is rather simple:
- CC people with
近身平射 - Optional - get
急速 from either 和风疾速 or 
和风疾行 - Immediately follow up with
高速连射 while you have 
激怒.
Greatsword burst combo:
- Already in combat, pet swap to Rock Gazelle or Tiger (depending on which one you chose), this is going to trigger 和风疾速 which grants 激怒 and 急速. Fury gives you
先发制人 for increased damage. - Use
重击 and your pet F2 attack about the same time. Maul will give your pet 醉生梦死 for its next attack. Your pet should hit a split second after you've landed Maul. 
剑柄猛击 your target for CC, hopefully a 醉生梦死 proc, and to refresh Maul.- 重击 again.
