Tips and tactics

  • If you need to interrupt a spell or ability, Scatter Shot can do it.
  • When you're running somewhere and there's a mob in your way that you don't want to fight, Scatter Shot will shut him down long enough for you to run past and out of melee range. Once you're past you can either Feign Death to reset him or lay a Freezing Trap or Frost Trap to gain extra distance.
  • If chasing after a mob and within range of this shot, you can use it to disorient the target long enough to lay a Freezing Trap or Frost Trap under it. This will stop it from running, allowing you time to get the kill.
  • If you need to escape from a higher-level mob that you stand little chance of killing, Scatter Shot is a very good choice- much better than trying to Feign Death or using a trap, as both of these have a substantial chance of being resisted by a high level mob. Scatter shot the mob, then immediately turn on Aspect of the Cheetah and run- you will outrun most mobs this way provided you have a small head-start, which Scatter Shot can give you. This tactic doesn't work very well if you're beset by two or more enemies, as Scatter Shot's cooldown is too long to use on both of them.
