i thought new SWs might be interested.
my gear is 6sov+2war. 1k BS, 160 tactic was replaced with -10% defense.
don't know SH. he's 80+, i'm guessing he's BiS too.
Spoiler:
range debuff first on approaching SH. detaunted pet. KD on goblin. first fester shot + acid.
then he got in range, KD on me.
despite it was expected, i mistake BHA+sting combo in hurry.
that's first 15sec.
i used second festering upon getting up. couldn't remember if VoN or not. because..
FA was INTERRUPTED! wtf!? i got little panic.
but what else i can do. just another festering.
he was about 50% and i was near death. at this moment, didn't even notice what skill was hitting me. still confused about interrupt. was it pet?
in desperate move, i used usual finisher combo : FtW right after FA. then died.
while i was on the ground dead thinking '**** did i lost? despite BiS?' briefly, he died.
tbh, there's rumor that SH had advantage when dueling against SW.
and i always thought it's who shot first game.
long ago, i had duel with Big Shooting SH at the keep. it was same, i died first, flight arrow finished SH later.
so, conclusion
if you think SW is good, fester bomb is order bias, SH's as good as SW.
in ranged duel, it depends on who shot first, who dodged more.
ps. Steady Aim was on.
ps2. soloing is like sparring. usually i don't use pot. bad habit.
