Isn't this practically a clone of a build that's already been vetted? --71.229.204.25 02:51, 25 September 2007 (CEST)

Need to cap EDA, but it looks pretty nice. And no.. it's not a clone, just the same species. Perhaps even family. Heheh. cedave(contributions_buildpage) 04:38, 25 September 2007 (CEST)
I swear I've seen an EDA/Volley build before. Fewer conditions, though. --71.229.204.25 04:51, 25 September 2007 (CEST)
Probably this one: Build:R/D Ebon Dust Arrow. The general idea is the same, but it is adapted for PvE use vs multiple targets (Volley). Mobs mostly do not remove conditions or have no condition removal at all. You can also easily avoid enchantment removal through positioning or just put up Aura of Thorns as cover. --Longasc 10:49, 25 September 2007 (CEST)

Took awhile for someone to make this, only a matter of time til the make a Spirit's Strength 2.--Relyk 05:43, 25 September 2007 (CEST)

Agreed. I also wonder why there is not a generic Splinter/Barrage build here already, it is quite common. --Longasc 10:49, 25 September 2007 (CEST)
It's probably in the general barrage build with random secondaries. -Auron 11:24, 25 September 2007 (CEST)
Yes, it is. Specific splinter barrage builds have been shot down, even though they are really effective against tightly cluttered groups, including MMs and summoning ritualists. Alaris 17:18, 25 September 2007 (CEST)

Can i ask why you chose poison tip signet over apply poison?--Goldenstar 20:58, 25 September 2007 (CEST)

Volley removes preps -.- User:IbreaktoiletsIbreaktoilets 21:00, 25 September 2007 (CEST)

I use Signet of Infection in the optional slot useful for softening mobs in several areas (not human mobs obviously)—Fabes 09:52, 28 September 2007 (CEST)

This is a very good idea. I think I will have to rewrite the whole build to add in all the optional ideas. --Longasc 18:48, 3 October 2007 (CEST)

Imo...

<pvxbig> [build prof=R/D exp=12+1 mar=9+1+1 earthp=9][sloth hunter's shot][Volley][Distracting Shot][savage shot][favorable winds][lightning reflexes][Ebon Dust Aura][Resurrection Signet][/build] </pvxbig> Tycn 15:52, 3 October 2007 (CEST)

I like it. In fact I usually forget about Aura of Thorns and add something else like Lightning Reflexes or Sloth Hunter like Skakid and you already suggested. Poison, bleeding, crippled is not really that important in PvE, spamming blindness over and over is they thing you do with it after all. This is the core:
Volley Called Shot Distracting Shot Savage Shot optional optional Ebon Dust Aura Resurrection Signet

I like one unblockable attack for this build against blocking mobs. Now what could people add in the two slots? Sloth Hunter, Screaming Shot, Favorable Winds, Lightning Reflexes... what else... gotta think about that. Maybe this bar could do it:

Volley optional optional optional optional optional Ebon Dust Aura Resurrection Signet

This is actually it is all about... ^^ --Longasc 18:43, 3 October 2007 (CEST)

I will also get rid of the two major runes. Not necessary once Poison Tip Signet is out. --Longasc 18:55, 3 October 2007 (CEST)

Changed according to feedback

  • Poison Tip Signet and all attribute points in Wilderness Survival are gone
  • No more major runes
  • Now 2 optional slots
  • All suggestions work nicely and became examples for the optional slots

--Longasc 19:52, 3 October 2007 (CEST)


Maybe something like this could be viable for RA .. certainly fun to run
Volley Called Shot Distracting Shot Savage Shot Aura of Thorns Mystic Regeneration Ebon Dust Aura Resurrection Signet
