Build Description

This is a twist on an AoE Ranger so that almost all of your attacks will inflict massive damage to both your target and everything around em.

Needed Equipment

Longbow (+damage mod, zealous mod, +energy inscription or any armor inscription)

Important Skill Chains Okay anyone who reads this can tell automatically, "oh, if I use splinter weapon on myself and mix it with barrage and volley, I can add about 60 damage to my AoE barrage every 8 seconds" I added the last bit obviously because barrage hits up to 6 times. Splinter Weapon only lasts for three so the most you'll hit for is +60 damage. Well, how do you use the other skills right? or more accurately why do they work? Below:

For use while going up against two enemies: Use Splinter Shot, follow with Dual Shot and Forked Arrow. With damage mods you've probably hit one mage down to around 50-60% hp, and you hit his friend for about 64 damage. Switch focus to his friend and you'll hit for more.

When going up against foes who can block: Use Splinter Weapon and follow with splinter shot against the blocking foe, if that hit is blocked then you just hit his friend for 76+ damage, follow that with dual attack on the non-blocking foe or use barrage if they both block and you just hit them both for 18-50 damage.

Energy Management: Well if you find a mob and are running low on energy, just spam Barrage. That'll take up around 3 energy with your expertise at that level and it'll boost your energy by a maximum of 12 with a perfect zealous mod.

Alternatives For a sweat alternative to a speed boost from natural stride, switch your natural stride stance with lightning reflexes for faster bow attacks and quicker splinter weapon spamming. Also, lightning reflexes gives you a nice chance to block attacks, so if you wanna try capturing a mine in the JQ or in FA then this replacement should add something nice for ya ^^

Another sweat alternative is switching dual shot with triple shot (allegiance skill) so that you completely use up your splinter shot in one hit and inflict an instant 65 damage to a nearby foe while going up against two foes.
