Here’s quick guide about Physical Ranged DPS Role Actions! (previously the cross-class skills system). This time around, we no longer have to choose – and have access to all Role Actions! (As a note, people informally refer to these classes as “Ranged”)
Dawntrail Update: Buff to Second Wind.
- Second Wind becomes straonger at L94, up to 800 Potency.

Ranged DPS Role Actions: Quick Strategy & Discussion
Here we talk a little bit about each of the role actions, and their applications.
Leg Graze & Foot Graze
Mostly useful while soloing. VERY RARELY USED IN RAIDS. If it does, don’t fret not binding these skills as they aren’t commonly used anyway. Heavy and Bind really don’t come up very often in hardcore content.
The usefulness of Bind (and to a lesser extent Heavy) while questing is amazing!
Second Wind
Can save your life in raids when expertly used. Learn how to use it well! Never bad to have a self-heal while soloing too, of course.
Note: As a healer main there are very few instances where Second Wind ACTUALLY helps. It’s great for when you accidentally took a hit before a damaging mechanic. Ask your healers about it! “It’s better to do it before, than after”.
Peloton
A great little luxury skill to speed up dungeon runs in between pull and all non-combat walking in general. Godlike for questing and moving around in town, haha.
Head Graze
Interrupts are rarely used in raids, but very important when they are. Being a ranged character, it’s usually you or the tank who is responsible for it. Don’t sweat binding to a useful button, as it doesn’t come up very often.
Arm’s Length
A very niche skill to cheese some raid mehcanics. It also prevents your cast bar from being interrupted, so keep that in mind!
