I had a base knowledge of the Barth Art Mold but started making random calls out East to track down information on the BB Mold. I am writing this article in the order I found the information so it will seem like I am going back and forth to start with. Side by side you can not tell the difference from the BB Bunny. The Crystal "Thumper" on the right is the Original Crystal Barth Art mold. I will break into the story and identify anything special about a certain color. I will show all the colors I have at this time but it is by no means all of the existing colors! Because there are so many I am going to mix them in the story as they were produced.
The BB Bunny was created from the Original Barth-Art Glass Company Mold! Due to the decrease in IAS on Tiger's Fury from 33% to 25%, and with the introduction of Rampage as One, these skills fell into general disuse for the Bunny Thumper's purposes.I have been investigating this story for 5 years and, turning up tidbits of information, finally think I have enough information for an article. Due to the build's relative popularity, as well as its common strategy, counters are quite common to see in high-end PvP areas, although a well-balanced team running Bunny Thumpers will generally plan ahead for such obstacles.īefore the release of Nightfall, Bunny Thumpers typically used Tiger's Fury to provide IAS, and Ferocious Strike or Enraged Lunge as the Elite. Keeping the Ranger's energy regeneration level in mind, the user can usually maintain Rampage as One for the duration of the fight many players also like to use a Zealous Hammer to better manage energy (coupled with the 33% IAS, the energy gain is approximately 11 energy over ten seconds from the hammer alone).Īs a melee-type build, there are many common counters a Bunny Thumper can expect to run into, from anti-melee hexes (such as Reckless Haste or Empathy), to conditions (such as Blind or Weakness). At 12 Beast Mastery, Rampage as One lasts for a total of 13 seconds, and with about 9 Expertise, the energy cost is decreased to a more manageable 16. The average Bunny Thumper maxes out its Hammer Mastery, and uses runes and headgear to get Beast Mastery and Expertise to about 12 and 9 respectively (this depends on the user's preferences, skillbar, and/or weapons). The deadly conditions, coupled with the consistent knockdowns, can easily overwhelm many players the Bunny Thumper aims to defeat opponents with superior pressure. Using Bestial Mauling to cause Daze, and Crushing Blow to cover with Deep Wound, the Bunny Thumper can provide tremendous pressure to a single character. Depending on the player's setup, it is sometimes common to find Bunny Thumpers bringing along a spirit such as Energizing Wind, to help counter Rampage as One's high energy cost.
THUMPER THE RABBIT FULL
The Bunny Thumper is normally used in HA or TA, where a well-organized team can cover for some of the Thumper's weaknesses, and take full advantage of the Thumper's pressure capabilities.Ĭommon skills used are Rampage as One, Hammer Bash, Crushing Blow, and Bestial Mauling, along with the necessary pet skills ( Charm Animal and Comfort Animal) and a Resurrection Signet. All this together makes the Bunny Thumper able to apply relatively high and constant pressure to the enemy. The Ranger's pet contributes moderate damage, provides effects such as Dazed through pet attacks, and allows the Ranger to use Rampage as One as a constant speed and IAS buff. While a Ranger can only get 12 ranks in Hammer Mastery, knockdowns such as Hammer Bash are no less effective and the Ranger's Expertise attribute allows the user to spam energy-based attack skills.
A Bunny Thumper is a Ranger/Warrior build which uses a hammer and a pet in conjunction to cause massive pressure.
