Conclusion
What roles do you think your build fulfills well? Solo, Small Group, Big Groups, Banes any scout role would not be a problem to overcome.
Why did you choose that equipment? To have high defense with pierce resist and also to have a great amount of hp and hp recovery and a fast bow with a proc can do some nice damage.
Why did you choose those starting runes? I like to use Fleet of Foot because im putting trains into running and being faster than the enemy is very important for scouts. Speed Wins Fights! Lucky for the extra defense and Tough as Nails of extra 200 health with health regen.
Are you missing any crucial powers or are there any weaknesses you'd like to discuss or point out how to overcome? I didnt train precision because you should still have enough atr to hit everything
Describe how your build could best other scouts in 1v1 situations. What makes it so special?
Speed, High defense with high dodge and a lot of hit points plus your damage buff and heals should be all the tools you need i do suggest carrying stam pots but when it comes down to it player>the build knowing what to do in a specific situation is key!
this build should have everything you need depending on the situation you can always switch out your jewelry if you would like higher defense more resists.
