Tombs build thought...

With the popularity of (S)B/P groups for tombs, I had a thought, I'd like some opinions on (since convincing a PuG to try something experimental can be... painful).

The general group that I have been seeing is 2xN(MM and Orders), 1xM, and 5x BP R.

I was thinking, what if one of those B/P rangers was replaced by a [Broad Head Arrow] R/Me With [epidemic]? A whole cluster could be dazed and get the snot interrupted out of them every time the rest of the crew blasts out a barrage.

Thoughts?

A standard broadhead arrow ranger with volley instead of barrage.

epidemic is Adjacents so if things are adjacents to each other, 5 b/p with splinter should kill the mobs in 1 barrage.

if they not adjacents, then no use for a looooong recharging BHA.

Precisely why I asked, actually. It seems like an obvious synergy, so I was wondering why I never saw it happening.

No need to be a tool.

if they not adjacents, then no use for a looooong recharging BHA. That makes sense. Being dead interrupts even better than being dazed does. Never seen it work out that way, but I think that's probably a lack of PUG coordination, and BHA wouldn't solve that anyway.

Thanks for the insight.

Consider the following, while still bringing Splinter:

[barrage][warmonger's weapon]

Perhaps you're thinking of [wailing weapon] which interrupts melee, [warmonger's weapon] will most likely interupt any non-attack skills, while still allowing you to fit in to groups that require you to pack Splinter + Barrage.

Indeed I was. Do not guru without coffee.


Something tickles my brain though... Might it be passable for HM, since the baddies are more likely to survive the opening abuse?
