So there are a lot of different classes that can spike (for this thread im referring to UW). I saw recent builds using Barrage and Splinter Weapon and some other skills that increase Damage output. I was wondering, Is it possible to make a Barrage Ranger as efficient as an SS/DwG/etc for spiking?

I haven't tried it, but my guess would be no - Splinter barrage doesn't deal enough damage to kill everything as quickly as a dwg rit, it also doesn't deal damage evenly throughout the ball so you would be relying very heavily on eoe to kill everything, which can be risky in UW as eoe can easily die.
