I rarely take a Ranger, if I do, it's just to add a little variety to the game, but Jin seems to use Splinter/Barrage quite well. Even so, your Ranger Hero is never going to be considered one of your big dmg heroes. If they are, you must not be using your Nec and Ele heroes correctly.

I use barrage with a Fiery bow on Margrid. With 1-2 SF eles, it keeps the fires burning. Especially if you call your targets right.

I usually bring her along instead of a MM when I will be someplace short on corpses.The rest of her skills tend to be defensive, although I always carry 2-3 interrupts on her. Not sure how well she uses them though...

It sure is, that is likely why Barrage removes preps.

Afaik it did always was like that, at least with other skills that trigger 'on-attack'. A relevant note on wiki dates back to januari of 2006

Ha. Nice joke. After SW's buff, they didn't touch it for 5-6 months. Why? Because it was used in PvE and not so often. But they nerfed it because of GvG changes, as everyone used splinter weapon to wtf pwn npc's at VoD.

Ignore Super Igor, he is farming forum titles. Look at his join date and his post history - all 2-4 word responses, usually of little relevance. I reported him, hopefully he will be deleted.

They nerfed [skill]splinter weapon[/skill] into

For 20 seconds, target ally has a Splinter Weapon. Target ally's next successful 1...4 attack(s) deal(s) [sic] 5...41 damage to up to 3 adjacent foes.

Notice the difference between the skill description when you place your cursor on top of the skill icon, and the current description. Splinter Weapon damage used to affect all adjacent foes but now it is limited to 3 adjacent foes. Barrage hits up to 6 adjacents foes to your target, so like I said, the Splinter-Barrage combination used to be more powerful than it is now.
