[SW] Going skirmish. Gather the elder council!

[SkPrime]

I'm here asking for your wise wise help.
I played assault for 4 months, leveled assault, soloed assault and died assault.

Now I want to try out skirm, one mastery setup to both solo and (**** grab your seat!) aoe ranged dps in warband.

I'm asking for help, tips, stats, equip combo suggestion (I miss two invaders right now but in 2 weeks I should have all the set actually in the game) talismans and rr points.

I'm not here to argue on the viability of my aoe, if you want to help welcome, if you want me to roll engi you're in the wrong topic.

[SkPrime]

Ok first impression is that barrage is kinda useless, the range is too low.
I'm squishy as **** and I have very low damage :S I'm running 1030 ball, 690 weapon skill, 18% crit (+20 from tactics proc).

aoe ranged dps in wb.
expert skirmisher, pierce defence, lilith arrow from behind your tank wall.
boring
rather pick some valuable target and harass.

[SkPrime]

I do agree that LA looks like our best aoe option... Sadly.

Split Arrow ain't bad but the numbers on SFA are sad..

Btw I think my tactics are bad, if someone could help with them I'd love it!

This is what I use when running Skirmish spec.

With Bullseye proc up and VoN, Barrage into Flanking Shot can do decent, instant burst. SFA is pretty bad damage, especially coupled with Split Arrows which is why I never take that. (Buff SFA pls devs).

I actually enjoy the playstyle of Skirmish over Assault, it just needs a little help to be attractive enough to spec, imo.

WB spec for SW?

Unless you have some friendly wb [guild or somethin] or u run wiht pugs no one will take SW... Wasted slot.

p.s. DOnt get me wrong its not a flame answer i love SW [got one] but thats the ugly truth...

[geezereur]

Split Arrows tactic should damage all enemies within 30 feet of your target and also remove the damage reduction same with Squig Herders tactic.

Last night we had some 6man roaming and then WB.

In 6man roaming the build shine: glass arrow, heal D, ranged stun.

In warband you kinda disapear, most of the time I was random spamming heal debuff in the brawl in order to be helpfull or just mono clicking LA to help with the aoe.

I think SFA could have a 10% damage bonus, it's very weak. Plus yeah, split arrow is MHE: SFA already hit like wet noodles, you cannot take out more damage from it :S


Skirm is fun tho! Gonna keep playing it for some time.

RoR.builders - Shadow Warrior, get ready to spam la. If your bs is high enough, you can take leading shots instead, for at least some kind of utility.

In 6man roaming the build shine: glass arrow, heal D, ranged stun.

sry but against which?
6 vs 1~10 pug is not a good sample.
anything will shine in that situation.
skirmisher is king of kiting.
though you already knew it.
kite to death with mediocre moving shots.
IMO that's reason it can't have big burst.
