I keep dying from the traps the storm shamans lay at Worldstone Keep

Also hammers tend to deal a huge amount of damage going back and forth around me. And by the way, this is normal

. I guess I'm not good at kiting...I have no other explanation.

Afaik, rip recipe prevents storm shamans from casting Fairy Ring. Get a cheap amulet and use rip recipe on it (check the docs -> cube recipes).

Stealthmaster is absolutely correct. It will be very easy afterwards.

Good evening ! i have an amazon and pantheon set , and i said let's give it a go , i want to see how this is. The problem is i dont know if phalanx is useful in this build ,considering rmb is with wolf stance. also , if i m already max res on dest (200to all ,80max res) should i still socket res jewels or amethysts are better?

With the set amethysts are better.

Phalanx is very useful in many situations, especially wide open zones where you are moving in an optimal direction - e.g. fauzt, vizjun, parts of the triune - and also some ubers like yshari meph, jday, void etc.

When I started playing this build there was this stigma on the forums that "good" bowzons only use barrage and "bad" bowzons only use wyrmshot and that phalanx is meh. The truth is that every skill has an application and can be useful depending on the situation - something you can judge for yourself with enough experience or by reading this guide. So there is literally no reason to not use all the skills at our disposal (don't forget about spellbind too). So while the stance on the set adds a little bit more of a skill switch requirement it is no excuse to be lazy.
