Take the destroy the ungrateful slaves quest and let the king die, then cast EoE a little bit out of aggro, then splinter weapon, then just barrage, run, recast splinter, barrage, repeat until dead, it should only take 3 shots to kill them all. Always use the 33% speed buff to run after you barrage, you can do it with 25% speed buff but then you need to wait for the group to settle before you can attack again.
EDIT: Current places you can use this build -
Ungrateful slaves quest - Normal mode and hard mode
Protect the learned quest - Normal mode and hard mode
Battle for Turai's procession quest - Normal mode and hard mode
Stygian veil - Normal mode, will post a build for hard mode once I figure one out that is reliable

Boohoo, just take some healing skill or something?

You really only need 6 skills for this to work, that is why I only had the 7 listed, nightmare weapon is only needed if for some reason there is 1 guy left, and it only takes 1 shot with nightmare and he is dead.
kenichiukiya
i don't understand, splinter weapon only hits adjacent foes.....they're not even adjacent to you....how do you activate the splinter weap?
Mark Nevermiss
adjacent to your target, not yourself
kenichiukiya
hm then it's the skill description that's confusing....if it's adjacent to the target it should've been foes adjacent to your target instead of just adjacent foes

the VwK build works better and is faster than this.

Whenever someone is coming up with a new approach to farm some already well known spots, u r the one who always has something to complain.
Why don't u just help him to improve his build or just tell him that it is a nice idea he came up with, is it so hard to respect others and give some credits for their ideas ?
btw Sk8boarder, nice build, works well, am using a similar splinter weapon build on Zehlnelun and his friends, just nice to watch how splinter weapon works
Edited by Arkantos - This is a public forum, if you can't tell everyone don't post it.
Sure everyone can say what he wants in a public forum but please explain ur posts, simply don't just say this is better than that, it makes no sense and ruins your credibility

Saying this build is slower then another build isn't complaining.

well, has he tried it ? is he in the position to judge this build ? he didn't mention that he has tried nor that he has ever played this build in other regions, so where does he base his critique on ?
Sk8tborderx
With the VwK build sometimes it takes more than 30 seconds to kill the mob... 30 seconds is the fastest... this build kills them in 15...I do not see how VwK is faster, the only rit build that is faster is Rt/W and that is not as safe as this.
kenichiukiya
i have tried it....mebbe it's cuz i'm not skilled enough....i can't kill them fast enough.....and with activating the speed buff.....i did get a grp spawn that can curse me thus ends my natural stride.....and they followed me to my grave. even when i manage to kill a grp, it took me very very long.(again i blame it on my skill)
well mebbe arkain said this is slower because when you kill one group u have to wait for the next grp to come and then settled down b4 u can att again. with the VwK build u don't have to....u can almost straight away aggro the next grp n continue. but then the time difference, i can't tell.

This build is great alternative for farming dead sword, i dont know bout the speed on killing, but this build is a lot more fun then the Vwk build.
@Kenichiukiya
Are you using a longbow or flatbow? if you are, make sure you are at max range for the bow and rite before you barrage hit the natural stride and start running back, your character will shoot the barrage and run back without aggro them and repeat 3 times and make sure your using a 33% speed buff and not a 25%. I hope this will help you out.

Thank you for pointing out that you need to use the 33% speed buff, I forgot to mention that.

Yeah but can the VWK build do this?
Thx for the build as you can see I modded it a bit, and used it for the Stygian Veil. You have to learn which enemy has which agro, but it works splendidly
Superior Beast, Expertise & Minor Markmanship.
Flatbow is needed due to the long flight time of the arrows.
Put down EoE. Cast Splinter Weapon, Barrage on closest. When the arrows leaves the tip of your bow use 1 of the 33% running skills to loose agro and run away
. Repeat till they have died. If one of them is left use any weapon spell and wielders strike for an instant zap. ( Got a gemstone 
)
I think this build will work on any group of monsters that balls up
, and it isn't that slow either....
** edit Created a New Thread: R/Rit Barrage Splinter Mob Farmer, with Props to you. **
** edit 2, I now did this run with my build and this is way faster then doing it with either a SOJ monk, or the W/mo build. Prob also faster then the VWK build because they don't scatter. So first try it then, say if it's slower or not.

GJ on coming up with a r/rt build, I do not have a ranger so I was not able to try it. I am sure the higher beast mastery helps kill off the last couple guys, I am currently trying to lower wilderness survival a bit so I can raise it, it seems to work a little better, but in stygian veil you have to be more careful with some mobs as they sometimes follow for a long time.
Sk8tborderx
I updated the attributes, I found that lower wilderness survival in favor of higher beast mastery works better, I have yet to have any enemies survive now with a more powerful EoE.

lol, good build, 3 hits and there dead
run is really quick, and defo alot quicker then VwK and easier

I used EoE,Splinter Weapon,Barrage,Natural Stride,Dodge,LB Gaze,Trolls(never have to use Trolls)as inspired by the Rt/R build
Thks for posting this build my warrior had finished the quest already but with this my Ranger is no probs
I added the details of sword to pic

very nice build, thanks for posting it
could you please tell me if there are any places in cantha and tyria where i could use this build? thanks

I have not found anywhere in cantha or tyria yet because there are no mobs that stay bunched up like for the quests in NF.

Yes thanks for sharing this awesome build. Anyone who thinks VwK is faster must be smoking something or didnt even bother to try before commenting. 3 barrages and undead mob is dead.
For the 3 waves of 24 margonites in Battle of Turai Procession, with LB 4 and above, a rit primary can occasionally wipe out all 24 with 2 barrages, max is 3 even with LB0. That is the duration of 1 or 1.5 VwK. 9 shots, 12k exp, 4k loot. Simply awesome. Thank you!

bindabinjo3
is this build HM capable? if so, where? and are there any modifications to be made to the skills/attributes if such a feat were possible?
thanks
thanks
Sk8tborderx
This works in all of the areas I listed in the original post, except stygian veil. Same skills and attributes.
For farming margonites in 'protect the learned' you will want to take LB gaze with you.
To farm 'battle for turai's procession' you will want to go out with all henchies/heros. Flag them over by the rez shrine. Kill all of the margonites, and all of them around the boss if you can, then have your heros and henchies kill him. (Sometimes you cannot kill the warriors and dervishes with the boss, since there are less enemies around with the boss group)

I use the standard VwK Build to farm this run in Hard Mode with a lot of success. ( some hick ups but no DP that some quick plowing through a few more targets doesn't fix ) and at a rather good speed also.
Can this barrage build do the same? If so I might consider trying it. If not I'll stick with my VkW deadsword farming when I need more weps for kos / cash in hand from the merchant.

Splinter barrage is currently the fastest build right now to farm dead swords, it only takes 6 minutes to kill all of the groups, and that is including waiting for the king to die.

so can dead sword farming with splinter barrage can work in hard mode or not? :P

I dunno this is consider fast onot but i do farm the slaves with the VWK build in hard mode. Usually, tis will take me about 10mins at most while dying twice. Template code is [OAWmEkCxQGyiBpMmgIwSwiR8EBewoJA]. see below pic for more info. Not trying to firing at anyone but just to share tis build.

Umm... this build was made before Hard mode was created and i m pretty sure Sk8tborderx was one of the first ppl to post the build on guru. Maybe the build was posted somewhere else but Sk8tborderx does get credit for posting it in guru, so dude calm down. Plus if you would take the time to look at the OP date, you can tell you havent even joined guru yet. So stop going around critizing ppl that they stole another person build.

Due to getting a lot of PMs in game recently I updated the original post to include what can be farmed for both normal and hard mode, if I left any spots out please let me know.
I also updated the build with the current skills I use for all the areas.
