This build was Inspired by the Rt/R Dead sword farming, but adepted for Ranger and more general use, in this Example the Stygian Veil

Attributes:

Beast Mastery: 6+3
Expertise: 4+3
Wilderness: 7
Marksmanship:7+1+1
Channeling Magic: 12

Skills:

[skill]Barrage[/skill][skill]Nightmare Weapon[/skill][skill]Splinter Weapon[/skill][skill]Wielder's Strike[/skill][skill]Natural Stride[/skill][skill]Dodge[/skill][skill]Zojun's Haste[/skill][skill]Edge of Extinction[/skill]

I never use the Nightmare weapon, but it could be use full some times. Could be swapped for trolls unguent, or for doa LB gaze.

Weapons:

Any Flat Bow will do, in my case Drago's Flatbow. U need the Flat Bow for the long flight time.

As for the farming:

Put down EoE. Cast Splinter Weapon,and Barrage on closest. When the arrows leaves the tip of your bow use 1 of the 33% running skills to loose agro and run away. Repeat till they have died. If one of them is left use any weapon spell and wielders strike for an instant zap.

Holy crap, that is A LOT of loot.

This can also be done with a ritualist. ^_^

Really nice, gonna test that out. Can you complete the quest solo? As in can you defeat the lords?
This beats trapping, trapping is boring heheheeh.... Splinter barrage their ass :P

The Lords are in Brood Wars. You kill those stygians in Breaching the Stygian Veil.

Yep that's the build, but this is the R/rt adoption, LB gaze is a nice skill to add though. Will put that in the guide

Any big group, without an good monk will do. Like the slaves for instance.
I think having this set up for B/p in TotPK will just slice through there.

i tried this build in general PvE but you'll find that the mobs are too much spread out. But when you really hit 3-4 enemies at once it's quite a nice damage output. I never thought of running away and attacking again. (but as said it was only for quests and missions not for farming purpose)

Maybe you can use this at urgoz warren as well

legendary_Ace · Apr 04, 2007, 05:40 PM // 17:40

Wow! Thats crazy awesome, you have any other idea where else you can this? (DoA is really far in)

onerabbit · Apr 04, 2007, 06:06 PM // 18:06

@legendary_Ace

just look out for big mobs, that are well grouped, and dont have a monk

Well the deadword, slaves farming works. I should try to get a full R/rt B/p group together for TotPK with this build. I think it will shread it to peaces. And yes also urgoz is bound to be good

Levi Garett · Apr 04, 2007, 06:18 PM // 18:18

If Nightmare weapon is optional...why not put in a preperation like Kindle Arrows for a little extra dmg?

Barrage

Campaign: Core
Ranger
Profession: Ranger
Attribute: Marksmanship
Type: Elite Bow Attack
5 Energy 1 Recharge

All your Preparations are removed. Shoot arrows at up to 6 foes adjacent to your target. These arrows strike for +1...13 damage if they hit.

I think that awnsers your question

. Taking a Vamp mod could be a benefit, but I have no vamp flat bow ^^. Could put in Winnowing, but no Favorable Winds. We don't want a speed in crease for our arrows.

Levi Garett · Apr 04, 2007, 06:33 PM // 18:33

Oh yeah duh I always forget that! lol

GG Nub!

Arothar · Apr 04, 2007, 06:42 PM // 18:42

what about winnowing? to bad favorable winds does decrease arrow flight time.

Baaaa Ha ha ha... · Apr 04, 2007, 06:58 PM // 18:58

you can also bring along a useless spirit to use as a tank
allows for more barraging

onerabbit · Apr 04, 2007, 07:12 PM // 19:12
