R/Rit Barrage Splinter Mob Farmer

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

Maybe you can use this at urgoz warren as well

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

@legendary_Ace

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

BarrageCampaign: 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.

Oh yeah duh I always forget that! lol

GG Nub!

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