Rain of Arrows Build Specialization

Preparation	Spend 75 Energy to reduce your Ultimate Skill's Cooldown by 5 seconds. Ultimate Skills reset other Cooldowns and grant 15% Damage Reduction for 10 seconds.

Preparation reduces the cooldown of Rain of Arrows, allowing it to be spammed more often. Since the build aims to reduce the cooldown of Rain of Arrows down to 10 seconds, the build requires a minimum of 150 energy to pull off.

The Cycle	Dealing any damage with your skills has a 15% chance to grow a flower from the ground. When an enemy is near, the flower deals X Poison damage to that enemy over 5 seconds. If an ally is near, the flower Heals for 6% Maximum Life. The flower withers away after use. A flower may grow once every 2 seconds per enemy. Rank 5: The damage and healing affects all enemies or allies near the flower.
