Notes

• This skill only recharges Resurrection Signet or Sunspear Rebirth Signet if they were disabled by another skill (e.g. by Distracting Shot); it will not recharge them if they were used to resurrect.
• This skill is sometimes used by trappers, as it allows them to plant another set of traps or nature rituals without waiting out the long recharge time.
• Combine with Determined Shot, which recharges all your attack skills if it fails to hit. This can be used to rapidly recharge Oath Shot.
  • This tactic can be extended with Shadow Sanctuary, which almost guarantees a miss.
  • Add "Dodge This!" or Asuran Scan to the skill chain to ensure that Oath Shot hits through block and/or blind, bear in mind it will still have a 50% chance to miss when below 8 Expertise.
• The 50% miss chance is actually a 50% fail chance and cannot be prevented with effects such as Asuran Scan. Oath Shot will still go into recharge, unlike in regular attack skill failure.
