Hey guys! Me again... This time, I'm wondering how the splinter shot build is made... I really want to start using it in PvE and PvP! ^_^

[barrage][splinter weapon][other things][res]

Try using Serpent's Quickness for moar barrages/volleys.

Also try out Volley+Spirit's Strength+Weapon of Aggression or have a friend maintain Great Dwarf Weapon on you.

P.S. Distracting Shot is gud.

Bring an offcharacter splinter and run any build you like with volley on it. Works far better.

To tell you straight from a rit who uses this constanly. Volley + Splinter + Spiritstrength/OoS is a beast in mobs. also use Nightmare wep + triple shot for single spikes. its a very powerful build. i guess you could also just toss in Winnowing, EoE and stuff if the build allows it. Simple, Max channeling and your done. you really dont need to max/increase marksman frankly because it isnt needed

Rothan Celt · Nov 10, 2008, 11:44 AM // 11:44

First of you really dnt need Barrage and Volley. So the build should be somthing like this...

Barrage, D-Shot, etc etc etc etc etc rez

It works best imo if you take a conjure skill such as conjure frost and get a spell caster to micro S-weapon on you.

On a ritualist primary?

Why run OoS when a zealous bow can get you the energy you need?

Kagome · Nov 10, 2008, 08:38 PM // 20:38

Omg where can I get a zealous bow?

and what attributes should i put in? Im only at boreas seabed!

[Spirit's Strength] man. Awesome damage, and it works best when splinter weapon is working worst (IE when only a single enemy is able to be hit by volley). Splinter Weapon usages aren't going to run out THAT fast, and if they are it means you are hitting 4-5 enemies at a time and they are dead from splinter anyway. Speccing into Spawning Power also opens up [Sight Beyond Sight], which is invaluable for a number of areas. Think shards of orr blindbots.

http://wiki.guildwars.com/wiki/List_...r_unique_items. Lots of zealous bows. For PvE you will usually want a recurve for interrupting and a flatbow for range+DPS. You can get a free green flatbow by finishing any of the campaigns, or buy the item from someone who has. Personally I like the ironwing. Gargash's recurve bow is zealous, and pretty cheap, but you really don't need a zealous on that bow since its just for interrupting and not general use. I personally use Saushali's Recurve Bow, the +5 energy is good just in case you REALLY need to fire off a savage/distracting shot quickly and don't have energy ready, and the +33% daze is lovely if you want to use [Broad Head Arrow] to take down certain deadly caster bosses.

For attributes just get channeling to 14 so you can get 5 uses of splinter weapon per cast. Otherwise its up to you. If using spirits strength I would guess spawning power and marksmanship each raise damage at about equal rates, but I haven't ran through the calculations to check. Just keep both high and you will be fine.

Well the optional skills might require a bit of energy, I've ran Volley + Splint w/ a zealous bow and the other skills just suck my energy, so its good E-management over the Zealous wep... if only just for good spamability

Ghen · Nov 12, 2008, 08:31 PM // 20:31

heres what i use :
splinter weapon - barrage - nightmare weapon - triple shot -distracting shot - favorable winds - sight beyond sight - death pact signet

16 channeling 10 markman 8+1 spawning
zealous flatbow
ghost forge insignia , some hp runes

also... why volley? barrage = more targets , more dmg , 1 sec rechage ..
as for other elite OoS , i dont think thats worth it as im havin no energy issue at all , spirit strenght not worth it either ..

Secksy · Nov 13, 2008, 09:38 AM // 09:38

[build prof=Rt/R chan=12+3+1 marks=12 spawn=3+1][Splinter Weapon][Barrage][Triple Shot][Essence Strike][Vampirism][Bloodsong][Summon Spirits][Flesh of my Flesh][/build]

This is the build that I use.

Also a good idea, slipped my mind.

Remove the "i want use to pvp" part

Ummm,

[Volley]/[Barrage] with [Splinter Weapon] _and_ [Ebon Battle Standard of Honor] is ***GODLY*** in PvE (esp. when maxed vanguard title). Also, spamming this into 3+ mob packs gives enough adrenaline to keep [Save Yourselves] up indefinitely...

My HM PvE is: [build=OgETcN8mZ644xIGcxo4w3QuMXEA]

I roll all minor 3/sup vigor/radiant/attunement (guess my helm), and switch between a sundering recurve and a zealous longbow (both Fort; recurve 15^50, longbow +5e)... For zealous string mod - just spam Kamadan WTB for 1k - you'll get instant reply (prolly for 500g even, heh) =D

The barrage/splinter PvP is mega-gimped, but still does OK against the daily 2k "practice" arena... It's also OK in PvP where PvE enemies exist (Factions Fort Aspenwood/Jade Quarry).. However, only human morons (e.g. bots) cluster in touch range enough for it to work against true PvP opponents...

Wait... lol, Rt/R/W?

The first part with using volley/barrage+splinter and EBSaH makes sense, I'm just always afraid I'll start running into energy issues then.

mrmango · Nov 25, 2008, 01:47 AM // 01:47

Volley > Barrage, ESPECIALLY on a rit when you'd want to lol with Spirit's Strength.
