You may find yourself needing to select other skills to progress across the skill tree. That’s okay, just respec to the ones included in the build once you’re able. Who knows, you may create a custom build that suits your needs better.

Best Quill Volley skill rotation

When running the Quill Volley Eagle build, you’ll need to make sure that you use your skills in the following order against mobs and elites:

  • Scourge
  • Ravager
  • Quill Volley
  • Counterattack
  • The Hunter
  • Armored Hide

Kick things off with Scourge to apply Poison damage, Fear, and Slow on your enemies. Next, activate Ravager to amp up your overall damage output. Then, follow up with Quill Volley to pierce through foes; hitting at least 3 feathers makes them Vulnerable, setting you up for bigger hits.

When enemies close in, use Counterattack to dodge their attacks and retaliate. You’ll enjoy extra crit damage for each nearby enemy while dealing damage back. Then unleash The Hunter (Ultimate) on softened or elite targets for massive area damage.

Finally, if you’re feeling overwhelmed, pop Armored Hide to become Unstoppable, boost your Block Chance, and reduce damage taken.
