    Bowmaster
    I'm sharing this not that I think it's a new tech, but more so because I haven't personally seen many/if any Bowmasters practicing this technique in Pink Bean. Hopefully some players can find use of this.

    During statues Bowmasters often will focus on left man since we're able to maintain high dpm without risk of dying to DR, this is often the standard practice even in 18 man runs.

    However when left man dies early due to poor left bird DR's, or during Ariel cancel many BM's will go to right man and/or strafe the bird to avoid dying to damage reflect. Moving to right man risks early dispel within the run which poses a risk to any mages/mules and lost dpm due to rebuffing the attackers. It doesn't take much right man dpm to trigger dispel, 1-2 strong BM's are able to trigger it prematurely from what I've seen

    I've been able to reproduce and test over several runs now reacting to animation with hurricane on left bird, in the position shown. I'm very close to bow-whacking the bird in terms of distance.

    I can't remember if it was a Leetoratto or Skarmory tech to reduce our arrows "air time" to increase frames of reaction time but taking that information into left bird was valuable.

    The only real instructional is during repositioning be very careful of a sneaky DR, this seems to be the most dangerous part of this strategy, as your eyes may not be glued on the chest awaiting animation. Stay as close as possible to the bird and keep your eyes focused on animation, this still isn't a free ride for BM's. Besides from that with some practice it's very doable and repeatable without deaths to DR. Do what you wish with this information
