Marksmanship Hunter Mythic+ Guide

• This hero talent tree introduces Black Arrow as a new rotational button to your gameplay with multiple benefits.
  • Gives Deathblow when used.
  • Has a 10% chance upon dealing damage to spawn in pets that attack your target.
  • Also has a 10% chance upon dealing damage to give you a charge of Aimed Shot with 50% reduced cast time.
  • The DoT from Black Arrow ticks 50% faster during Trueshot, granting you Aimed Shot charges and pet spawns more frequently during cooldowns.
• Dark Ranger applies Survival of the Fittest to you when you use Exhilaration through the talent Smoke Screen, making it an on demand damage reduction cooldown.
• Using Survival of the Fittest with this talent chosen also heals you for 50% of what a normal Exhilaration would.
  • Shares choice node with Embrace the Shadows. About 25% of your damage is shadow damage as a Dark Ranger so this provides a decent chunk of healing to yourself.

There are a couple of different talent swaps you can make depending on situation, dungeon or your preferred playstyle. The talents you swap between are Steady Focus, Tactical Reload and Light Ammo. You always play two out of these three talents.

• Remove Steady Focus and play the other two talents if you don't like playing this talent or if you're playing very low keys.
• Remove Light Ammo and play the other two if your groups aren't pulling enough mobs in each pull to make this talent worth it.
• If neither of these are the case, play the default Mythic+ build.

• Position in a good place for each Obsidian Beam to minimize movement while dodging the beams.

Pre Dungeon Start

• Use Tempered Potion just before the key is activated to increase your damage on the first pull.

Boss Tips

Ingra Maloch

• Interrupt Spirit Bolt every time a non-tank player is targeted.
• Try to line up your cooldowns with Droman Oulfarran's Droman's Wrath to increase your cooldown's damage significantly. This happens when Droman Oulfarran reaches 20% health.
• If you have Aspect of the Turtle ready, use it when the boss casts Repulsive Visage.
• If Ingra Maloch is at low health after a damage increase phase it is more worth it to kill him off rather than pushing for another damage phase.

Mistcaller

• Use Freezing Trap or Binding Shot on the Illusionary Vulpins to prevent them from reaching their target.
  • If your group is not crowd-controlling the Illusionary Vulpins, kill them off quickly.
• Use your defensives during the Guessing Game.

• At certain points in the Maze area you can summon a pet and send it through the walls to pull more mobs to you.
  • Communicate with your group before you do this since it is difficult to handle if they're not prepared.

Pre Dungeon Start

Boss Tips

Blightbone

• Use a defensive if you're targeted by Heaving Retch and stand away from your teammates, ideally towards already placed Fetid Gas on the ground.
  • You can also dispel the Disease effect after you get hit by using Feign Death.
• Always use Tar Trap and Binding Shot when Carrion Worms spawn, don't let them hit you and cleave them down.

Amarth, The Harvester

• Use a Freezing Trap on either the Reanimated Crossbowman or Reanimated Mage when the boss spawns adds.
• If any adds are still alive during Final Harvest, use Intimidation to crowd-control them. With them crowd-controlled, the boss doesn't cast Tortured Echoes even though an add is alive.
  • Stay away from any corpses of adds that have died when the Final Harvest cast finishes.
• Help interrupt Necrotic Bolts from the boss or Frostbolt Volley from Reanimated Mages.
• You can help getting the Reanimated Crossbowman closer to the boss for easier cleave by knocking them with High Explosive Trap.

Surgeon Stitchflesh

  • When Surgeon Stitchflesh is about to use Escape, make sure you're already in position to hook him down since they often overlap in timing.
• Make sure you dodge Embalming Ichor.
• Use Feign Death if you get targeted by Morbid Fixation to interrupt it.
  • This ability can also be stopped by aiming Meat Hooks at the Stitchflesh's Creation.

Nalthor the Rimebinder

• Stay away from the group at all times and use Disengage to remove Frozen Binds when it's cast on you.
• If you have a Warlock or Evoker in your group, ask them to set up a Demonic Gateway or use Rescue on you right before you get hit by the Dark Exile projectile.
  • Do note that you still die after 50 seconds after doing this. It's a gain if the boss has low health or the targeted player could struggle in the extra phase.
  • Don't do it if you have 0 combat resurrections ready!
• If you do get sent down by Dark Exile, make sure you have Aspect of the Cheetah ready to complete the gauntlet quickly.

Trash Tips

  • Drain Fluids from Corpse Harvester and Corpse Collector.

  • Rasping Scream from Skeletal Marauder.
  • Frostbolt Volley from Reanimted Mage.

• When you play against the two Separation Assistants, make sure to be in position to aim the Throw Cleaver at the mob that is not casting on you.
  • If you get Morbid Fixation, use Feign Death.
• The last trash mob in the Necropolis, Rotspew, has a damage dealing aura around him that persists even after he dies. Make sure your group doesn't kill him where you want to fight Surgeon Stitchflesh.

Pre Dungeon Start

Boss Tips

Chopper Redhook

• Try to line up your cooldowns with the boss walking over Bombs which applies Heavy Ordnance to the boss.
• Use your movement abilities to help you kite the boss into Bombs if you're fixated.
• Using Freezing Trap on a newly spawned mob, especially later in the fight, might allow you to ignore it completely. Otherwise always swap to the Irontide Powdershot mobs as they spawn.

Dread Captain Lockwood

• Focus down the Ashvane Cannoneer during the add phase to quickly use Unstable Ordnance to get the boss down from the ship.
• During Mass Bombardment, you don't need to dodge the circles instantly as they spawn since they have a few seconds until they explode. Use this to minimize space used and maximize uptime doing damage.
• Don't stand in front of the boss to avoid Clear the Deck.
• Use defensives for Shoot and Fiery Ricochet.
• If your group is lacking slows, placing Tar Trap under the boss helps keep her in place. You can also Wing Clip if absolutely necessary but should be avoided at almost any cost, make someone else do it!

Hadal Darkfathom

• If you find yourself struggling with positioning for a Tidal Surge combo you can use Aspect of the Turtle to walk through that set of waves.
• Overall positioning is important here. Make sure to NOT stand near the middle statue except when Tidal Surge is about to come, as to not spawn any Pools from Break Water around that area.

Viq'Goth

• Focus the Demolishing Terror add first in each phase.
• You're a decent class for staying and taking care of shooting the Cannon in each phase so consider doing this if your healer or someone else isn't.

General Umbriss

• Try to stand around the middle of the room to help you dodge Shadowflame Breaths and save Disengage and Aspect of the Cheetah for this.
• Use a defensive before each Commanding Roar.
• Spread on the sides of the room with Rock Spike. When the debuff expires you get knocked in the direction you are facing.

• Bait Fiery Cleave towards a close wall to increase space.
• Place Molten Sparks on the sides.

Drahga Shadowburner

• Whenever the boss casts Invocation of Shadowflame, swap your focus to the Invoked Shadowflame and kill it as soon as possible and use any CC on it if necessary. These adds are not allowed to reach the fixated player.
• Be careful of the knockback from Twilight Buffet and dodge the Tornados that spawn after.
• Watch where the tank aims the frontal Devouring Flame.
• Use a defensive for each Twilight Buffet hit.

Erudax, the Duke of Below

• Use defensives during Abyssal Corruption and Void Surge.
• Waiting with killing off any of the Mutated Hatchlings adds until just after Void Surge is cast.
• When the boss casts Shadow Gale, get to the safe zone and spread out within it for Abyssal Corruption as to not overlap with other players.
  • If you have Aspect of the Turtle available, use it before the Abyssal Corruption cast goes through to most likely avoid it entirely.
• Dodge Void Tendrils landing on the ground after the boss casts Void Surge.

• If a cast of Enveloping Shadowflame goes through on you, use Exhilaration to help heal it off.
• Near the end of the dungeon you face Faceless Corruptors that cast Corrupt. If this goes on you, use Feign Death to stop its cast if available, or a defensive if not.
