Question about Cadence & Ranged / Warder ranged build advice

I’m playing a lvl 27 Warder focused on ranged weapons, switching between long range 2h using Tempest & vines for CC, and a shield & pistol for close in work using Forcewave. Probably not the most effective build, but it’s been fun for me. I have noticed something odd though:

I’m using Cadence as my default attack, and have two points in Fighting Form. The description and what I’ve read online all say Cadence/FF should only hit two targets max when it triggers at my spec, but fairly often I see it hit rows of enemies (around 5-6 deep) when using a 2h weapon if they are tightly packed - has this been changed?

As for the advice question, does anyone have any recommendations for a ranged physical/bleeding/piercing warder build? Most of the ones I’ve seen focus on 2h tanking and heavy shaman magic, but I’m going more for a lone gunman style - maybe get Shaman up just high enough to get vines boosted. Thanks!

The max targets on fighting form is just for melee, the ranged has a chance to pierce, and if it pierces, it affects every mob in that path

Ah, clears it up - thanks.
