=Splinter Rangers=

This build was designed for hardmode PvE and specifically to clear GW:EN dungeons with the help of heroes. It's based on the idea to have several sources of ranged physical damage which are supported by Splinter Weapon, curses like Barbs and Mark of Pain, and Ebon Battle Standard of Honor to quickly kill large groups of monsters, while protection is offered by constant Save Yourselves! and several sources of party healing.

To achieve this, the team features two bow-rangers with Incendiary and Ignite Arrows, who are able to rapidly shoot arrows at multiple targets while also charging Save Yourselves! and protecting the team in the process. A minionmaster further increases the number of physical damage dealing sources while a typical perma-SF daggers assassin aggros and tanks the monsters. Two hybrid-ritualists and an UA protection monk are the backline for the team and offer good ammounts of party healing.

Several skills in this build are optional / changeable and should be adapted to the dungeon and enemies you are facing.
