It's old news, but I just want some input.

Right now, just to mix things up (which my Rit and Mesmer are ACE at :P) I've been running this:

Marksmanship 12
Channeling 12+1+1...3
[barrage][splinter weapon][ancestors rage][charm animal][ebon battle standard of honor]["by ural's hammer!"]["I am the strongest!"]

or Ural's swapped with [asuran scan]

with an option slot for DPS, FomF, or Antidote

then my heroes are:

Rt/R

Marksmanship 12
Channeling 12+1+1...3
Beast Mastery 3
[barrage][splinter weapon][ancestors rage][charm animal][revive animal][favorable winds][winnowing][antidote signet]


N/Rt

Blood Magic 12+1+1..3
Soul Reaping 8+1
Restoration Magic 10
[order of the vampire][blood renewal][protective was kaolai][mend body and soul][recuperation][soothing memories][flesh of my flesh][blood ritual]


N/Rt

Curses 12+1+1..3
Soul Reaping 12+1
Restoration Magic 3

[spiteful spirit][foul feast][enfeebling blood][mark of pain][barbs][flesh of my flesh][signet of lost souls][reckless haste]


Master of damage says a little over 900 damage (on average) in 1 second with just me and the 3 heroes and no pve only skills on my bar, and about 1100 with. With another human, I like to have either another ranged physical, or tankish guy to corner pin enemies in harder areas just for clumpage. The best scenario the other person to be an imbagon and have racway setup, and we drop the above posted necro for another barrager rit hero.


It's one of those fun things that just happen to be really good. What do you guys think?

Sounds like a build that you and probably very few others like, considering it's either a variant of some build that is less superior of another one. The fact of the matter is, every single possible build that is great or good (According to pvx) has already been found and the variants are listed. Except the featured builds are the best possible. My advice, even though people might shout "pvx noob" use pvxwiki. Anything you can think of that is somewhat good and useful is already on wiki.

^What kind of advice is that?

If you want to make a barrage build, maybe you need more than two barragers. I'd drop Urai's too, you don't have anyway to maintain it. Maybe you could just run a Orders/curses hybrid? The pets also seem pretty useless @ 0 BM.

You have a pet with 0 Beast Mastery? It won't do any damage and is therefore, useless.
The OotV Resto necro stands a good chance of commiting suicide with Blood Renewal. That makes him very fragile.
Make sure you micro Mark of Pain for the curses hero.

do the pets really do that little of damage with low BM? (I never really use pets.. ) I was testing it, and just watching it auto attack the level 60al, it was doing like.. 30-40 damage a hit most of the time.. But yeah, if it's really not adding much, I could easily drop it.


Again, this build is just fun. Nothing serious here. It gets me through most HM dungeons though, and anything NM.. but then again I could probably do that blindfolded with socks on my hands. haha.

30-40? That probably arises as a result of the other skills you have
My pet (a level 20 Hearty Albino Rat) with 0 Beast Mastery is currently striking the AL 60 target on the Isle of the Nameless for 5-8 damage.
A dire pet would do more and [Ebon Battle Standard of Honor] combined with [Winnowing] may boost that damage to be almost reasonable. I wouldn't have expeted 30-40 a hit though.

Needs moar [never rampage alone]
