Need some 30+ advice
Silence Arrow I & II
Sleep Arrow
Bow of Blessing
Retreating Slash
Arrow Deluge I
I’m not going to use Deluge since I just don’t find much value in it. That leaves me with four decent stigmas for three slots @ 30. Silence Arrow is a given. So, it really comes down to the other three for the final two slots.
Sleep Arrow – long cool down, but an absolute oh shite life saver at times. Resists hurt, but its usefulness in both PvE & PvP are nice at times
Retreating Slash – the extra stun is super nice. makes getting away from melee really nice. it does throw you out of range of your special arrow abilities, but nice still. Heck I’ll charge a caster just to stun them with this.
Bow of Blessing – i haven’t used this one yet, but the extra damage should be relatively nice. not a "control" ability, but nice for burst.
So, I’m torn which way to go. Any advice from people 30+ with experience with Stigmas? I’m guessing I just have to live without Bow of Blessing for awhile? Control vs. Burst I guess… I’ll be spending my time 50/50 in Abyss/PvE Questing if that makes any difference. My armory: Aion™ Online :: Character & Legion I’m just waiting on the Rift to get this Heraloene’s Longbow – Items – Aion (hopefully this weekend)

I would probably go with Sleep Arrow and Retreating Slash. I have tried Bow of Blessing, and the +20% damage doesn’t buff your skills – only your base damage (arrows). That part about shite life saver is true for sleep arrow – substituting for a sleep in an instance or a player while the rest of your group is busy is very useful. Retreating Slash > it pushes you back 25m, correct? You’re still within or very close within the range of your 25m skills, and as your target attempts to follow you, your other skills should be within range as well.
