[0.3] Bleed + Quarterstaff or Hollow Palm Technique + Bow = budget/SSF/no unique build of the week

The playstyle is very combo heavy, versatile and mobile. You can:
stay at range completely with bow skills (- which is great for Abyss),
dash into melee range to deal huge damage and disengage quickly,
focus on dodging since you only need to apply bleeding every 6.3 - 9.7 seconds




Skills:
A) Falling Thunder with Power Charges from Siphoning Strike and/or Lingering Illusion
B) Stormcaller Arrow,
C) Escape Shot, Vine Arrow
D) Charge Regulation + :
In Maps: Shockchain Arrow, Herald of Blood, Shattering Palm
Vs Bosses at range: Attrition, War Banner, Hand of Chayula (with Temporal Chains & Voltaic Mark)
Vs Bosses with Combo stacking in melee: adds Tempest Flurry and Tempest Bell to above while cutting Stormcaller Arrow and Vine Arrow

Adding Garukhan's Resolve lineage support is a massive upgrade but not necessary.

Ideally swapping gem setup presets (eg. for mapping and for fighting bosses) will get implemented soon™ so that people don't risk a ban by using macros.

The melee combo stacking build variant (that can one shot) using Culmination II on Falling Thunder with Tempest Flurry generating 19.8% more damage per second was added.

Updated - mostly the all-round setup
Updated to account for the bugged Siphoning Strike Shockwave being unable to shock.
