The trick is to dmg and regain energy. When you cast rift and it affects fire body shot using the speed boost from drunken master and to dmg use sniper. ..using barrage and splinter to take down groups while using needling shot during recharge times

Great idea to combine Body Shot with Spirit Rift! I didn't think of that at all, next time I run Splinter Barrage I'm definitely going to try that

Ele/Rt Unsteady Earthbind: OghjkwMLoRpCugID7QnCOiXDkTA

Earth Magic 12+1+3
Energy Storage 11+1
Communing 6

With the Earthbind spirit up, this build can knock down anything, including Shiro and Dhuum. It is extra helpful if you have a hammer warrior with KD (human or hero) on the team. I have used it successfully on Gate of Madness HM (where Magnetic Surge is particularly useful in punishing the Madness Titans and other dervs there). I have also used it on a balanced clear of UW with a human team, replacing Magnetic Surge with FoMF as a rez.

Maelstrom is just nice to drop in a ball of casters, such as a mess of Terrorweb Dryders.

My favos for AB and RA:

Enraged whammo

OQcTExJ31J8tUM+JMxHY5nIAAA

Kind of works like a bbwar. Use enraged like you would use bulls strike, ur use it for adren for hammerbash. Once the trarget is on the ground from enraged or hammerbash you use falling, horns, crushing, and then hammerbash again. Used right you can KD lock someone really bad

AoF Monk

OwEU02HCxaSbENgEECEbaTfBA4FA

2 prots, condi remove, hex remove, large heals, huge self heal.... Its fun ^^

(this is assuming you know how to use rez sig and not be bad and use it mid spike)

Also my favo thing about this build in ab: keep clicking in front of your char to walk while bashing 7. This will make you walk while cancelcasting leaving a purple mist behind you

edit: i usually run this with 7 tact and q7/6 shields, but 9 tact is handy for all those PvP chars :P

Splinter Barrage doesn't even need additional energy :/.

@OT: That's a pretty lulz build, would be awesome if people would post lulzy combo's. Too bad most people here just put up bad variants of meta bars.

FengShuiDove · Nov 18, 2010, 01:54 PM // 13:54

Here's my competitive arenas version of Assassin pressure:

1. Jagged Strike
2. Fox Fangs
3. Critical Strike
4. Trampling Ox
5. Grenth's Grasp {E}
6. Pious Restoration
7. Dash
8. Death's Charge

8+1 Crit, 10 Wind, 12+2 Dagger, 2 Shadow

It's actually really great pressure with an awesome self-heal. In fact, I've found Pious Restoration to be a really great skill. A good tactic when dealing with anti-melee hexes is to hit with Jagged (crippling them), then if they cast Empathy, IP, VoR, whatever, use Pious and go into Fox Fangs -> Trampling.

It's not as good as a meta build, but it's not supposed to be meta either, and it needs to hold its own in arenas where you finish the game whether or not you have a Monk and you're dealing with Siege Turtles on splits.

It's not really original or unique, but in PvE the elite my dagger spam build uses is Skull Crack. It's a really great skill in combination with that build, and it lets me use SY.

I've also got a Prepared Shot "Sniper" build for Assassin, but I can't remember it off the top of my head.

Whirl E Vic · Nov 18, 2010, 01:58 PM // 13:58

In JQ I love:

D/A
Vow of silence
Crip sweep
Victorious sweep
Sand shards
Faithful intervention
Heart of fury
Mystic vigor
Dash

Precast enchants then charge into the cap point and take it out.
With all of the casters there, most people can only sit and wand while you pick off the NPCs. With crip sweep you can also snare and kill carriers.

Plus, you get rage from other players like: "OMG I hate Vow of silence in PvE and now you bring it so I have to deal with it in PvP"

Well, true, but the 10 Energy PvE skills that I spam with them do

I once made a necromancer/warrior to use in RA. I made him look as much like Haseo from .hack//GU as possible. Even coming close to matching his armor.

I made 3 weapon sets: one with daggers, one with a fellblade (cuz its huge), and one with a scythe.

I used all melee weapon skills and just switched from weapon to weapon. Had some health stealing skills for healing. it worked pretty well for a joke build, and people who got the joke laughed the whole time.

See, that's more like it <3

read the 1st post:

But what about that build? You know the one, the one you made all by yourself. The one you only play with Henchies and Heroes, or the one you only dare to bring into RA. The one that makes no sense mathematically, but hell, it seems to work and it's a lot of fun to play! And that's what really counts.

So I want to hear about you builds! But there are two rules:

1. Must fuction, aka must be able to do it's job. Just cause it's fun doesn't mean it can clear a mob. It doesn't have to SCHM, it just needs to work.
2. Can't be a meta build with a small change. It has to be yours, and it should play a bit differently. Oh and it'd be nice if you could explain how it works instead of just throwing up eight skills.

Doesnt say post lulzy funny builds here. It asks for non mainstream builds you like to play. Get over it

Morphy · Nov 18, 2010, 08:41 PM // 20:41

Yeah, it says "no meta bars with slight modifications". That practically leaves only lulz builds.

Vampiric recurve bow (didn't tested if flatbow is better).

This is the exact same build that I use for most PvE on my ranger, except I slot EBSoH or PI in place of Dwarven Stability.

Red Intensity · Nov 18, 2010, 09:44 PM // 21:44

I like using this fire bomber build for JQ:

E/A
Fire Magic 12+1+3
Energy Storage 12+1

Mark of Rodgort
Shadow Walk
Bed of Coals
Double Dragon
Flame Burst
Iron Palm
Inferno
Glyph of Elemental Power

Use the glyph + DD for 20 Fire Magic, pick a spot and hex the center-most target with Mark of Rodgort, teleport into the crowd and use Bed of Coals and the other skills. Bed of Coals alone will kill everything that is hexed by you (when you die), unless healed.

Kumu Honua · Nov 18, 2010, 10:22 PM // 22:22

I enjoy my summoner build.

R/Rt - OggkclZc4Imkcps4u41U5EY4jxFD

Superior Expertise + Minor marksmanship.

Pain Inverter
Summon Ice Imp (I use this because it casts AoE)
Ebon Vanguard Assassin Support
Signet of Spirits
Bloodsong
Volley
Distracting Shot
Flesh of my Flesh

I just like having extra bodies for the enemy to focus on. Combine with a MM for big wall of stuff for the enemy to focus on other than you.

reaper with no name · Nov 22, 2010, 05:00 PM // 17:00

Wand things to death.

Vow of Strength
Conjure X
Asuran Scan
EBSoH
"I Am The Strongest!"
Optional x3

The AoG Archer

AoG
Volley
"I Am the Strongest!"
HoF
Eternal Aura
Attacker's Insight
Dual Shot
Triple Shot

NerfHerder · Nov 22, 2010, 10:19 PM // 22:19

When I'm tired of playing caster on my Mesmer, I grab a melee caster weapon, tactics shield, and I tank. Its not a show stopper, but it works even if your blinded or being blocked and is armor ignoring.

Drunken Master
Illusionary Weapon
Anscestor's Visage
Shrinking Armor
Phantom Pain
"BuH!"
Signet of Clumsiness
Healing Signet

Skyy High · Nov 22, 2010, 11:29 PM // 23:29

^ Personally, I'd drop Drunken Master for Flurry, because you're less susceptible to stance removal from skills or death, and you can also slot a defensive tactics stance in if necessary.
