Drop Beast Mastery. The eight seconds of IAS isn't worth the trade for losing half your bar for five seconds.

Drop [[Bestial Fury] for [[Rapid Fire], optional could be [[Disrupting Accuracy] or more damage (preferably [[Sloth Hunter's Shot]).

U loosing only enchants from your bar, and faster u shoot faster energy regain from criticals. I think Bestial Fury is very important here.

Except that Barrage removes preparations.

[[Critical Agility]. Perhaps you don't have nightfall since the skills you've listed aren't from there.

[[Asuran Scan] or [["I Am The Strongest"]. [[Sharpen Daggers] for AoE bleeding.

as vendetta said drop [bestial fury] and beast mastery. however since this is probably a PvE build, cause it will just suck in PvP, with [barrage] and all, than [critical agility] is your best IAS skill, and as a Critical Barrager you should crit often enough. also I'd add [savage shot] for more interrupt power.

other than that it looks like a rather defensive Critical Barrager build but ok...

Critical Defenses, what are you doing, running into the mob and using barrage?

Drop bestial fury for Critical Agility, spec 12 marks, 12 crit, 3 shadow.

Bring something like [Assassin's Remedy] or [Savage shot], possibly even [I am the strongest] or [Ebon Battle Standard of Honor]

EBSoH is great since you're standing with your backline. Drop the blocking, add an IMS if you really think you're going to be in that much danger, WoP isn't all that reliable unless you are barraging into a mob which doesn't always happen, crit agility as mentioned if you have nf. [keen arrow] also gets the bonus damage on almost every shot.

Hmmm, I think I'm going to agree and say that Critical Defenses isn't needed. Also, you appear to have an EotN skill on your bar, so apparently you do...

This is what I run when I do Crit Barrage - I haven't brought my Assassin over to Nightfall yet, so I don't have Critical Agility (I know, I know). I'm using Drunken Master in it's place for the time being. The numbers are a tiny bit off as I have a +1 Critical Strikes mask but the build tag doesn't want to reflect that - one day I'll stop being cheap and buy a rune for it as well. I use a Zealous bow coupled with Gwen as a Me/Rt who is fond of casting Splinter Weapon on me. Makes it spread out damage nicely and I get tons of energy back, as well as some self-healing.

That is a cool one , i guess ur missing skill will be Volley when u can get it. Maybe in zones with 5 or 6 mob group you could use Incendiary Arrows ( almost ALWAYS get 3 hits , and 2 sec burning with 4 att points ) + Disrupting Accuracy.

Verene, I believe that topsmoker1 means that he/she doesn't have any of the EotN PvE/Title-based skills yet, like [Ebon Battle Standard of Honor] , [I Am the Strongest!] , or the like, not that he does not have skills that you can buy from Trainers in EotN (hence the reason he/she has [way of the master]).

If I'm wrong, feel free to correct me top.

That would make sense; I simply assumed that they had no EotN skills at all since that's what it appeared they were saying.

[Ebon Battle Standard of Honor] , hands down. Affects allies as well. If someone else brings it, go with [By Ural's Hammer!] or [Favorable Winds].

Makes no sense.

1. You want him to have [barrage] AND [volley]? Huh?
2. Both [barrage] and [volley] remove all preparations, so bringing [disrupting accuracy] doesn't make sense either.

It sounds like you're trying to do two different things at the same time. You could make a mediocre A/R interrupt hero focusing on skills like [way of the master][disrupting accuracy], etc., also maybe [way of perfection] as long as you're doing a lot of crit hits; I have a build like that and fart around with it once in a while, but in high-end areas it just doesn't do enough damage.

well as far as critbarrage i use this build.
(dont know how to do templates yet..sorry)
barrage
savage shot
wotm
critical agility
way of perfection
critical defenses(theres no reason not to bring 75% block that you can keep up all the time)
critical eye
pain inverter(this skill comes in way to handy to not put it on your build if you have room)


as far as running 3 or more bow attacks,theres no need for it..in any situation really

13 crit will give you more energy then you need,if you run crit eye then your looking at 3 out of 4 hits will critical.

once again..critical defenses is an awesome skill,especially if you get swarmed,could mean the difference between a complete wipe and a near wipe.

[Way of the Master][Critical Eye][Barrage][Triple Shot][Keen Arrow][Distracting Shot][Ebon Battle Standard of Honor][Resurrection Signet]

I normally drop [Resurrection Signet] for [Great Dwarf Weapon] to throw on melee allies, or [Antidote Signet] in areas where blind is a problem, and take a Resurrection Scroll instead.

^
Spawning Power why? The points would be better placed in another attribute on your Rit Hero, tbh.
