With this build you not only barrage faster, but you're literally able to keep "Save Yourselves!" up for 75% of all missions. Now throw in 1-2 more B/P's with this build and you have yourself an invincible party. I suppose the downfall to this build is that you have to farm faction for the titles. But neither of those matter to me because I was able to get Max Sunspear title in about... 30 hours (over a spane of 10 days), and I do AB and Aspenwood for fun, so my Faction title is always increasing.
So, what do you people think? Obviously this build takes advantage and to an extent some people may think its exploiting the new title track skills. I must admit, with more then 3 B/P's in your part, it can get over powered most definitely. I don't think Ele's and Mo's were ever meant to have 160 armor at a constant pace (at the very least).
So in conclusion, I posted this build here in hopes that it'd spread to other B/P's so things like Tombs could be a much easier and faster run for everyone.
I originally thought of just keeping this build to myself, but, I think the community could benefit greatly from it. (As long as Anet doesn't nerf "Save Yourself!"
My spin on the Ranger Barrage/Pet build

You can ditch Savage Shot for a res. You only really need 1 interrupt. My other point is.. With 3-5 people constantly ensuring your party has +100 armor, no one should die.

Looks interesting. Paired with a Splinter B/P and another B/P with spirits it could be a pretty deadly combo.
