Full Build Details
Utilize your armor's cooldowns to spam your bow skills every few seconds, and if you need to regain alertness levels, the old legion spear has the longest reach of any melee weapon in the game, so you can regain your levels safely and fast.
There are many items and skills that are critical for this build to function. Cabal Hermit is, like always, invaluable for its breakthrough, giving an extra 15% Physical damage with the discipline boon active. Speedster is the most necessary of the skill trees, giving 40% more cooldown with alertness levels. Mercenary is optional, and is only picked for the high movement speed bonuses and the decreased stamina cost when running. You could take Wild Hunter instead for Piercing Shot, but since that is a rather mediocre skill and our CDR allows you to still spam skills anyway, it is unnecessary.
The faction is very important, mainly for it giving the Tsar Bow. Logistics Expert is insanely good on this build, giving 83% cooldown with energized active. You could Legacy Chest the bow and take the Heroic Kingdom instead, but there is one thing that makes the extra cooldown so powerful. Having 83 instead of 73% CDR makes skills come back way faster. For example, Strafing Run has a 100 second cooldown, so with 73 CDR, it still has a long 27 second wait time. With 83 CDR, however, it takes only 17 seconds. That's over a third faster of a cooldown, making for a lot more spammy of a skill.
If you have the option of split screen or online, make sure to grab Brawns and Patience, as they exponentially increase this build's damage. Also, you might want to use a Cannon Pistol on any of the strongest enemies as an opener for it inflicting Pain (with Shatter Shot) and Confusion, increasing your damage output on physically-resistant enemies massively (replace Prime on your quickslot bar) (For easier enemies, this is not necessary). I hope you have fun with this one!
