For Splinter and Ancestor's, how do you quickly select the H/H and cast? I don't mean, what do I do? I mean, how do you do it.

Rephrase: What is the mapping of your keys?

I mouse like a pro. I'm used to monking, so I'm fairly good at watching the battlefield and seeing who's in the middle of stuff. Using the keyboard works too, it really depends on you.

How bout` an elite skill. Like Wanderlust, weapon of quickening, Ritual Lord...
Or you could do what I do which surprisingly works.
Pain, Shadowsong, Bloodsong, Vampirism, WoQ, Summon Spirits, Painful bond, and Boon of creation.
I.E Spirit Spam.

Just wanted to update. Played a little more and made a nice build (I think).

Did a little farming, got max armor via collectors. Did a mission in Nightfall, capped Barrage.

So, now I run this:

Channeling: 12+3+1
Marksman: 12
Resto: 3

[Barrage][Splinter Weapon][Dual Shot][Nightmare Weapon][Ancestors' Rage][Spirit Rift]

Triple shot will be added soon.

Two optional slots, usually Flesh of My Flesh and Cap Sig, since elites seem to be so plentiful.

I see a mob, wait for it to group a little bit, and cast Spirit Rift, then Splinter, then Barrage once or twice. By the time the numbers clear away, most everything is dead. Dual and Nightmare for single targets. Ancestor's for a little extra.

I used to run splinter barrage, until I went thought about it too hard.

The damage from the barrage doesn't matter, only the splinter really does. So, if you have physicals in your party (not hard to pull off), it's more efficient to put splinter on them instead of you, while you do other things.

I'll admit that it does look really cool to see all the numbers pop up.

It's more fun to splinter barrage imo...
For my teamates...I just load a nice Great Dwarf Weapon to shut them up, then they can keep up with my kills...

One of these days, I want to see how a Splinter Barrager and and a Minion Bomber would play together.

Saw it last night with my hero as a jagged bones MM. Worked fairly well, especially when the environment caused them to bunch right up.
