Runes of Magic US / AU

I dunno about priest secondary but...
Shot is part of the scout rotation so I lvl it as my char lvls... scouts are TP intense to begin with so just get used to it.
I dunno about Activeshot Modus..
Neck strike does not inflict dmg.. its just a stun
As far as the cost of ammunition its really not that much. if you can get upto higher lvls you can summon free arrows forever eventually.. i think its 50 or 55.. i forget.

for lowlevel play vampire arrows is a really powerful dot and not very high cooldown

investing some tp into wont hurt, i'm not a scout player so i'm not gonna say which skills you should max

but
the "masterys" that you can only level up to lvl 50 those you should probably max out asap,

Speed Shooting Mastery
Ranged Weapon Mastery

"Activeshot modus" i believe you gotten off the wiki? Basically, it's auto attack with your ranged weapon.

I admit the amount of scout/priest play I've done amounts to just over 0 and I wasn't really all that thrilled with it - but that's not to say it's a bad combo, just one I don't prefer. Still, I do know pretty well how to keep an ongoing scout rotation just using scout skills alone. Autoshot helps, especially on bosses and such that will take more than five shots to take down.

Shot - Piercing Arrow - Shot - Combo Shot - Shot - Piercing Arrow - Shot - Reflected Shot (or Vampire Arrows on another round)

That rotation right there should be able to last forever as long as you have arrows equipped. Longest cooldown is 10 seconds but in alternating between two of those the rotation easily lasts about 18 seconds, so you don't have to worry about downtime. Just be sure you're using your cooldown timing to the best of your ability.

Firstly Arrows:

Free arrows @ lvl 55 get yourself a Rune Bow or Rune XBow (both from Hall of the Demon Lord - Boss 3 and 4 if I remember correctly), only need to equip the bow and open character interface > right click the bow and you get free arrows for life

Free arrows @ lvl 60 is available from the Fang Set dropped in Raksha Temple, this is an Item Set Skill which you click to create the arrows.

Skills for TP investment: @ lvl 30 you get a free TP reset stone from your Newbie Gift Bag so don't worry too much about investing TP in the wrong skills, you can always reset the skills when you're higher lvl and know which ones works best for you.

Under lvl 50: Bow and Speed Shooting Mastery, Shot, Vampire Arrows (S/P has an elite skill which gives you a buff when you cast Vamp that gives you a regen heal .. very handy for lower lvls - I think the healing value is based on the lvl of vamp), Combo Shot, Snipe (again S/P are so lucky! you have an elite skill which reduces casting time of Snipe to 1 second, snipe does a lot of damage.. given it's a long cooldown but a good DPS skill to start a rotation with) Wind Arrows (although the DPS output of this skill is somewhat nerfed it doesn't have a cooldown phase and is an ideal filler to use). Piercing Arrow and Reflective Shot are recommended last as they're both AoEs so need to be careful when questing not to accidentally aggro too many mobs.

Rotation (this mainly applies to boss fights): Snipe > shot > Combo Shot > Autoshot > Vamp Arrow > Piercing Arrow > Shot > Reflected Shot > Shot > Wind Arrow (maybe) > repeat

(^ based on dps values on my S/R, baring in mind I use DIYCE so the script automatically skips the skills that are on cooldown and moves to the next .. Autoshot is cast early in the rotation to act as an auto filler in between cooldowns)

Gear Wise: Learn to dirty stat (there should be loads of guides on forums on how to dirty stat and upgrade, if you can't find any send me a pm and I'll send the info from an old guide I wrote for my last guild...I did put it up in rom forums but it's poofed since they changed the forum layout lol)
