Talk:Splinter Shot

Is the 2 stats on the chart reversed? It just doesn't look right, and since FPE is over, I can't check on it.
 * Checked from a screenshot. The description is correct and the table is wrong. 06:50, 28 March 2006 (CST)

Does splinter shot hurt the one that blocks it also, or does it just hurt those adjacent?
 * Yes, it hurts the person who blocked it. --KittySoft 03:13, 15 July 2006 (CDT)

After buying and testing this skill, I have learned that it does *NOT* damage the target that blocks it. It *ONLY* damages foes adjacent to your target when blocked.

But do any preperations affect ALL adjacent foes? Kiteeye 22:40, 17 September 2006 (CDT)

lol? is there any real use of this skill?

Well. it des deal a decent amount of + damage, and against something like Whirling Defense may be good for damaging many foes, but I do have to admit, from what I've seen in Echovald, this skill blows :P --Gimmethegepgun 11:24, 14 October 2006 (CDT)

The additional damage isn't enhanced with preparations.The Hobo 17:52, 28 December 2006 (CST)
 * I feel like this kill could really do well if it met the right conditions. I'm thinking of looking around for an Aegis loving monk, or a gladz defense warrior that will end up killing their friends rather than helping them.Dark0805 11:49, 28 February 2007 (CST)

other suggestion: "If you fail to hit, all foes adjacent to your target take 5...53 damage" 12 July 2007

GW:EN change?
The Destroyers use a waaaay better skill with the same name. It goes like this: If Spliter Shot hits, it ricochets to up to 2 nearby foes. Splinter Shot strikes for +1...11 damage.

I've seen destroyers use that as well. IMO they should just change the version of splinter shot players get to be the same as the version used by destroyers - Morzan 08:48, 3 September 2007 (CDT)

What's weird is that it follows Marksmanship, unlike other Monster Skills which are unlinked (Except Turtle Shell). - Ayumbhara 20:10, 4 September 2007 (CDT)


 * I did try to cap it, but it didn't even show as if that ranger destroyer boss outside rata sum has the skill, but you can see him using it.--Marth Reynolds 07:21, 7 September 2007 (CDT)
 * My only guess is that maybe Anet made this skill for rangers, but 5/10 GW:EN ranger skills are already marksmanship, so they didnt give it us in the end, but as a side note gave it to destroyer rangers. The name being the same as the current rather rubbish Splinter Shot, however, i have no clue. id guess it would just link back to anet being lazy or oding so to prevent us capping it hehe

Sigh. If Splinter Shot was updated to be the same as the Destroyers and other foes use...well...that would make Volley 100% obsolete. You know? (T/C) 07:11, 1 October 2007 (UTC)
