hi

i think you all know the splinter barrager ranger....

i was thinking, maybe i should re-make the build a bid...

this is what i found:

[mark of rodgort][barrage][edge of extinction][troll unguent][storm chaser][natural stride][optional][optional]

att: 12 fire magic
10 marksmanship
an +1 WS end +1 exp.
rest of att's in expertise and wilderness.


you can also add a hero or human rit. with [splinter weapon] and others like
[life bond][life barrier][protective bond][energetic was lee sa]...

feel free to say its good or this would be better...

srry for my bad english

Where are you supposed to be farming with this build?

Since you're specced so high into Fire Magic, I don't see the point of not bringing [Conjure Flame] along.
I'd also suggest bringing [Conflagration] so you can still use a Zealous Bowstring for energy.

Still, without any idea of where you actually intend to farm...
I doubt people can give you a great deal of help or advice.

meh, this has been invented, deleted, reinvented, deleted and so on. people tend to run this @ AB, with a flatbow, supposed to be good @ capping shrines.

if you like doing it, keep doing it ( whatever makes you happy) though don't expect people to invite you to their teams immediatly.

for farming, the only thing I can come up with is DoA ( but there are better trapping variants for that )

I wish they'd revert Splinter Weapon back to "all adjacent" - it was like that for such a long time, until PvP dictated a nerf. Now we have different PvP/PvE versions, why not put it back so I can do the Splinter-Barrage Turai Margonite farm again? That's right a-net, change it for my personal benefit please. Me me me.

Cos until they do, like the others above - I don't think much of any flavour of Barrage for farming. I tried doing something similar with Ignite Arrows since that still hits all adjacent... Incendiary Arrows for a mini-barrage that doesn't remove preparations... or Triple shot... Battle standard of honor and other PvE skills to boost damage... etc. I ended up with some pretty high-damage builds that work very well for general PvE, but still rubbish for HM solo farming. I gave up on it, and made Ele and Sin characters for farming instead :-P
