This is my idea:

Hex Heavy Areas:

Dont suggest throw dirt, ive tried it and what the heroes do is run up at the start of the fight and blind the monk
Constructive Criticism is welcome, works awesome and no corpses needed
Also, the last build is optional (second player)
Crip anthem and Anthem of weariness works great, you have 5 spirits, 2 pets PETS DONT TRIGGER IT, RAGE RAGE RAGE TO IZZY and 4 people at least triggering it. Barrage+Anthem of Weariness is like enfeebling blood without sac.
First player should take a spear and throw it around, damage from EBSOH+OotV really adds up.

Off the top of my head it lacks hex removal besides that it looks really good!

Most hexes in PvE arent really dangerous, you wont meet empathy/backfire/VoR often

Pretty much anything harmful in PvP is harmful in PvE. Only worse in Hard Mode, what with all the fast cast.

Not bad, but can be better. Would be better if first player is Rt/R, then you can benefit from runes and spawning power. Not enough PvE skill exploitation on second player. What no GDW?

I prefer Anthem of Disruption, and Anthem of Envy is always nice.

With respects to the OoV bar.

I really think foulfeast is not needed. You have 3 mend body n souls with plenty of spirits. Conditions shouldnt be an issue...no sense in pulling conditions when they'll removed quite often.

Also, as much as I love splinter...its a pain with respects to running barragers. I prefer Great Dwarf Weapon thrown up on the barragers. If you use a Rit to do that, it will last for 30 sec's.

I don't think GDW is a good idea, sure it has great synergy with barrage but it is possible that it will be most of the time removed by xinrae's weapon for defense purposes so imo you are not getting the most out of it. Splinter doesn't have the same problem because it usually ends very fast on its own 1-2 attacks, so my suggestion would be either bring splinter instead of GDW or a PvE skill like PI/EVAS/etc

Now that i mentioned splinter, i tried a splinter barrage hero myself a few months ago but she (Margrid

) most of the time used splinter on melee h/h that were around rather than herself.. So have you tried the setup and if yes is there a problem with that?

And could you please post attribute spread and possibly runes? (just to see how the numbers work out)

I thing the healing part is exactly how it is supposed to be, prot spirit helps a lot in hm but since there are 2 copies of xinrae's weapon and a paragon with +armor shouts the team should be able to live without it.
On the hex part personally i don't leave the outpost without 1-2 hex removals and 2-3 condition removals (8 party setup i am talking about here). In hex heavy area i would suggest Remove Hex instead of Convert Hexes because of the short recharge low cost or swap a skill on the paragon bar with Hexbreaker Aria.

1. Offense is so-so.
2. Really lacks solid damage prevention. Xinrae's Weapon is not going to cut it.
