Mistfall Hunter Blackarrow Builds

Both published Blackarrow builds — the full-draw ranged setup and thelorr’s September control build — with what the launch nerfs to paralysis and stealth mobility did to each.

The short answer

Both published Blackarrow builds are bow builds; what separates them is whether they commit before or after the first arrow lands. The full-draw setup assumes you are drawing almost every shot, and thelorr’s control build commits only once Barbed Arrow has connected.

`/builds/blackarrow-ranged/` is the site’s worst-placed build page at position 12.1, and its source predates the launch nerfs to paralysis and stealth mobility. `/builds/blackarrow-pvp-kiting/` was refreshed on 5 September and is the current one.

The filters are a reading aid, not a re-labelling — every card still shows the creator’s own wording for the format, because “PvP, solo-leaning” is a hedge they meant.

Which stance

Arrow types or Weapon skills

This class swaps stances, so “which build” is mostly “which stance you want to spend the fight in”. Both briefs stay on the page; the button only moves the emphasis.

Arrow types

The arrow is the decision

  • Barbed Arrow → Paralysis → Bloodfly is thelorr’s engage, finished with a normal-arrow Blood Infection.
  • Rapid Arrow, Sky Piercer and Frostbite Bomb are the full-draw build’s three, and it wants every one of them at full draw.
  • A missed Barbed Arrow or Paralysis breaks the control opening outright — this is the least forgiving of the two.
  • The launch patch shortened paralysis. Anything written before 30 July overstates it.

Weapon skills

Talents that shorten the draw, not the cooldown

  • Full Draw and Colossal Power in the Swiftshot line are what make the full-draw assumption affordable.
  • Pursuit Mark and Dodge Rapid Shot are the control build’s equivalents.
  • Battle Fed sits in Battle Hardened and is the one pick both sources reach for from outside their own line.
  • Stealth mobility was cut at launch, so beta-era Blackarrow guides describe an escape this class no longer has.

Stat & affix priorities

What to roll for, and who said so

Derived by reading the published builds against each other rather than by picking a winner: an affix every build takes is load-bearing, and an affix they split on is the finding.

ElusiveContested

Contested — the PvP control build takes it with Focused and Stoic; the PvE-leaning build spends the slot on Distant Ward and Seamless.
