One would expect an SoA 'tank' might in fact carry spellbreaker? Especially in the land of Dying Nightmare spawns...
I'm in if you go again...

Since the SoA tank is a "tank", that would imply spell breaker; splinter weapon + barrage is plenty of damage anyway.

Would the damage be enough if you went to r/rt instead? Or do you absolutely need rt to insta kill smites/ other stuff.

I know it could work just wondering if smites can still be insta killed with it or not. Also what would be a good breakpoint for skills for rangers?

Honestly I'm betting you don't even need that many splinter weapon barragers if you can get aggro to ball up well. (Then again I haven't looked at UW in hard mode yet, so....)

I think it can be done with two Rt/R's and three R/x. The Rt primaries will cast Splinter on all rangers, and the othes can buff their other attributes for more powerful spirits. WW+FW+QZ+others? Are there any that would be useful?

Maybe Critical Barragers? Or A R/P with [skill]Go For The eyes![/skill] ?

Call if you need a R/Rt. Never went with a team in UW, just trapping ^_^ Did plenty Tombs runs, tho.

tested works, don't really neeed buffs really, it just kills everything in a snap if more than 5 enemies are there, apply poison is however, useful if there is a stray one.

since ectos and gems are back to normal drop rate, this is rather useless now

Umm, why even bother, ectos are excluded from loot scaling, you can waste your time, but I wont.

Do note that Aatxes have the highest ecto drop rate in normal UW, if that's still the same in HM UW a build like this who shreds trough these monsters might not be a bad idea.

A ranger could also bring an EoE to kill any one else and make sure it's a clean spike.
