Curse

With the popularity of (S)B/P groups for tombs, I had a thought, I'd like some opinions on (since convincing a PuG to try something experimental can be... painful).

The general group that I have been seeing is 2xN(MM and Orders), 1xM, and 5x BP R.

I was thinking, what if one of those B/P rangers was replaced by a [Broad Head Arrow] R/Me With [epidemic]? A whole cluster could be dazed and get the snot interrupted out of them every time the rest of the crew blasts out a barrage.

Thoughts?

A standard broadhead arrow ranger with volley instead of barrage.

WWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH. I'm pretty sure nobody's ever thought of that before, good job dude! You're really good!

epidemic is Adjacents so if things are adjacents to each other, 5 b/p with splinter should kill the mobs in 1 barrage.

if they not adjacents, then no use for a looooong recharging BHA.

Precisely why I asked, actually. It seems like an obvious synergy, so I was wondering why I never saw it happening.

No need to be a tool.

That makes sense. Being dead interrupts even better than being dazed does. Never seen it work out that way, but I think that's probably a lack of PUG coordination, and BHA wouldn't solve that anyway.

Thanks for the insight.

Consider the following, while still bringing Splinter:

[barrage][warmonger's weapon]

Yeah, I've used that in general PvE high-melee areas. Especially nice since it's purely time based instead of # of attacks.

Perhaps you're thinking of [wailing weapon] which interrupts melee, [warmonger's weapon] will most likely interupt any non-attack skills, while still allowing you to fit in to groups that require you to pack Splinter + Barrage.

If you've figured out how to attack while casting a spell, let me know; I'm very interested in this ability

Indeed I was. Do not guru without coffee.

Something tickles my brain though... Might it be passable for HM, since the baddies are more likely to survive the opening abuse?
