Default Re: Coverage

This idea was originally posted (I think) by Vayne/Vocals once upon a time when this was first discussed. But anyway, here are my thoughts/strat on this CA.

Instead of just waiting for AA bar to reach 3/4, use a CA (I usually use roped shot or searing for shorter cast time) then use backshot (because you can cast while moving back) to get out to proper range, stop, AA should fire, coverage, sniper.

Along with being spec'd perfectionist, this CA will give a good boost to sniper. However, imo, it's pretty situational as already been said. I only use with sniper, when focus aim is up and, obviously, when there is room to joust out.

And, always remember to joust back to sweet spot to maximize dmg because of the distance requirments on the mythical. I'm sure most of you all knew all this, but sometimes I just wanna put my ideas out there to get torn apart .

Default Re: Coverage

I would use rear shot and try to get to the 15 m like everyone on this post has been saying but then after I got coverage to cast I tried to get back into short range so I got both the boosts for coverage and the mythical bow. The only major problem I would run into would be casting stealth fire or sniper shot and it saying I was casting on the run and my cast would be interrupted and my auto would go off which would break stealth and lose the bonus.

Default Re: Coverage

actually the minimum distance to cast coverage is 10meters i tested it last week just check if bloody reminder is red if u are too far to cast bloody then ur far enough to cast coverage and if u use it in the proper way u wont loose any dps.

I personally user Coverage on mobs where jousting is required and time it to use when I am jousted out avoiding an AOE anyways. figure i gotta be that far back might as well use it.
