does that answer your question?

One would expect an SoA 'tank' might in fact carry spellbreaker? Especially in the land of Dying Nightmare spawns...
I'm in if you go again...

speedy21589 · Apr 20, 2007, 10:22 PM // 22:22

Since the SoA tank is a "tank", that would imply spell breaker; splinter weapon + barrage is plenty of damage anyway.

onerabbit · Apr 20, 2007, 10:28 PM // 22:28

Looks amazing!

pm me if u need a Rt/R

Sk8tborderx · Apr 20, 2007, 11:39 PM // 23:39

Would the damage be enough if you went to r/rt instead? Or do you absolutely need rt to insta kill smites/ other stuff.

You could go as R/Rt, it will just take a little longer.

MercenaryKnight · Apr 21, 2007, 02:55 AM // 02:55

I know it could work just wondering if smites can still be insta killed with it or not. Also what would be a good breakpoint for skills for rangers?

speedy21589 · Apr 21, 2007, 03:31 AM // 03:31

Honestly I'm betting you don't even need that many splinter weapon barragers if you can get aggro to ball up well. (Then again I haven't looked at UW in hard mode yet, so....)

Spirit Cookie · Apr 21, 2007, 07:41 AM // 07:41

Lets go and try this ?
im a Rt/R [Rt's are exploding in the last couple of weeks

]

My in game : Cookie Spirit

ToxicWasted · Apr 21, 2007, 07:55 AM // 07:55

Pm me if you need a SoA.

malko050987 · Apr 21, 2007, 08:56 AM // 08:56

I think it can be done with two Rt/R's and three R/x. The Rt primaries will cast Splinter on all rangers, and the othes can buff their other attributes for more powerful spirits. WW+FW+QZ+others? Are there any that would be useful?

Maybe Critical Barragers? Or A R/P with [skill]Go For The eyes![/skill] ?

Call if you need a R/Rt. Never went with a team in UW, just trapping ^_^ Did plenty Tombs runs, tho.

teotuf · Apr 21, 2007, 02:54 PM // 14:54

tested works, don't really neeed buffs really, it just kills everything in a snap if more than 5 enemies are there, apply poison is however, useful if there is a stray one.

since ectos and gems are back to normal drop rate, this is rather useless now

krypt1200 · Apr 21, 2007, 04:25 PM // 16:25

Umm, why even bother, ectos are excluded from loot scaling, you can waste your time, but I wont.

Marth Reynolds · Apr 21, 2007, 05:15 PM // 17:15

Do note that Aatxes have the highest ecto drop rate in normal UW, if that's still the same in HM UW a build like this who shreds trough these monsters might not be a bad idea.
