I've had barbed shot since lvl 1 but i keep reading that its bad so i dont know....

No not unless you have 0 other skills like Steady Aim, Double shot, etc.

I found barbed shot to be incredibly useful until around lvl 90, then I dropped it. I was primarily a dex build and barbed increased damage way more than steady did before lvl 90.

Enjoy!

Wack... Don't use it.

Candies, your responses are infinitely useless and ill-informed . . .

Lol. Wtf are you talking bout. Your the only one here that believes that it's actually useful. I'm serious barbed shot is literally crap and nerfed thanks to OTM. The initial shot has the highest damage and then it sucks. It's super wack for dps cause the damage is only inflicted every 5 seconds.

At lvl 50, barbed did up to 700 dmg for me. I made a petition to change it to poison dmg but was apparently not listened to.

I would not suggest it tbh, invest in a dmg buff for str build or sharpshot/longshot for dext. Doubleshot works for either.

Okay. Thank you

Agreed candies IT SUCKS. I tried barbed shot. Then i tried my reg build. I soloed strog200% quicker

Barbed Shot is a very useful skill. Depending on where you fight, distance restrictions can make LongShot and Bolas cumbersome or even useless. When you group with others in these crowded areas, skills like LShot and Bolas can become a complete loss in value. In cases, like leveling on Spiders (85-105) or Boggans (115-?) in Carrow, LongShot subbed out for BarbedShot gives a ranger similar damage output with no need to run away to cast LShot.

Here is my Barbed build @ lvl 116
str 300
dex 195
vit 250
haste ring, 600+ damage, plenty of regen

25/25 double shot
25/25 barbed shot
25/25 bolas
25/25 sharpen
10/25 steady
1/25 rapid
25/25 LHeal


Remember nay-sayers, every time you turn tail and run, you lose a few autos. Those count, that's lost damage. Barbed Shot affords the ability to stay put in crowded areas and still maintain some decent skill damage. Think of Barbed Shot more like a damage increase, like sharpen weapons. I value the versatility of builds that let me solo, group or boss in any relevant zone for my level.

I find Barbed to be more versatile for leveling than LongShot.
