Curse

So in RA the other day I noticed a sin using RaO. I thought it was stupid of course, how the hell would he have the energy?

Well I got bored and gave it a try for kicks. Turns out it works, pretty well actually...

RA Version:
[skill]Jagged Strike[/skill][Skill]Wild Strike[/skill][skill]Death Blossom[/skill][skill]Rampage as One[/skill][skill]Scavenger Strike[/skill][skill]Critical Eye[/skill][skill]Charm Animal[/skill] [Optional]

For RA take a res sig (they never attack your pet), anywhere else take Comfort Animal.

It can easily maintain RaO 100% of the time, may have to pause the attack chain for a second or two on occasion, but 0 energy problems.

Zealous Daggers

Stats:
Crit: 11+1+1
Beast: 10
Dagger 9+1

^ Probably not exact, having 13 crit and zealous daggers is the important part.

Does about 65 dmg per second just normal-attacking, avg 75-80 dps spamming your chain, somewhere around 100-115 with SoH

Use it like you would use a normal RaO ranger, I.E. Kill stuff. Important part though is that if your not attacking your not getting energy.

Uhm,thats bad...and if you must use it fix the attribs to 12+1 crit 10+1+1 dagger 8 beast.

You forgot Comfort Animal (to ress pet incase he dies), and honestly I think a non RaO dagger build can dish out more damage. But still not too bad to run it just for kicks

No, you forgot to read.

Meh, I'd rather have a RaO bunny thumper or a way of the assassin sin. Either way that build is bad. Assuming the last slot is a resurrect, you have...

The Decent.

Bleed.
Stance Removal. Every 4 seconds
AoE damage Every 4 seconds
33% faster IAS

The Bad.

Only one lead attack, and it's blockable. (Hellooooo shield bash)
4 skill slots wasted for a 33% faster IAS. (RaO, crit eye, scav strike, charm animal)
No Self-healing, or blocking.

Overall thoughts.

2/10
Not a terrible idea (Giving your assassin 33% faster IAS and 25% faster movement speed, that is) However in doing so, you've wasted your elite and 4 skill slots, a 5th for resurrect leaves you with your single short, "pressure" attack chain. This limitation does not allow you to make full use of your IAS, as the combo simply doesn't recharge fast enough for your IAS to add additional pressure, and the overall damage from the chain is not enough to make it a spike, needing an IAS.

Suggested changes.

Use in PvE.
Use on a ranger.
Use Never Rampage Alone instead of RaO.
Use Heal as One instead of Critical Eye.
OR
Use something else.

it might be good for laughs, if you have a cool PvE pet to show off.

It's not on pvxwiki, therefore elitists will flock and just trash talk it. This is standard guildwarsguru formula, get with the program, come on.

Yoshikuni Mahsu · Nov 05, 2008, 12:22 AM // 00:22

Hi.
I chuckled at the sin in RA, his build looked extremely stupid.
Tried it out of curiosity (question: can crit strikes really pump out that much energy?)
Answer = Yes.

Guide to not being a pretentious twat:
Step 1. Person Posts Build
Step 2. You Try Build.
Step 3. You Flame/Praise/Discuss build accordingly.

Good to know the guru community is filled with as many arrogant i-dont-use-mending-and-have-some-fame-so-I-know-everything-about-guildwars morons as it has always been.

Also, this:

Good point. Gotta say I missed that part of the post

I wouldn't go in RA without comfort animal either ways.

even if it IS on pvxwiki, i would still "trash talk" it. GW at this stage simply doesn't allow for much creativity in build making anymore, simply because all the viable combos have already been found. the ones not being used, are not being used for a reason (generally it's because they suck).

please understand that i'm not being "elitist" at all; i'm merely being matter-of-fact about it. it sucks. if you can't accept this, then prove that it doesn't suck.

to the OP: congratulations, i believe you've found a build that's even worse than my shove spiker. i once thought it isn't possible, but apparently i'm wrong :S

Snow Bunny · Nov 05, 2008, 12:48 AM // 00:48

The OP is in Glorious Hawk Legion.

You should all smack yourselves for not bowing to the greatness that is this poster and his guild.

Good sir, I commend this build, and if GW were installed, I'd promptly play it.

I remember shit-talking sins using pre-nerf RapidFire, but that shit was imbaaa.

Moriz...you couldn't beat Avarre 2v1 ZvP. What the hell.

I have a certain guide I think you could definitely make use of.

You above most others, in fact.

@Snowbunny: If you had guru installed hawkman would compliment you with a smiley face and perhaps even a KAWWWKAHHH in game.

I loves to troll me some gurus, thank you for your help.

While the build is bad, I thought I'd point out that the Sin gains 5 energy with each critical strike (3 from CS, 1 from Crit Eye, 1 from Zealous.), and has a skill that gives him 11 energy every 10 seconds.

What this means is that basically that 25 per 10 seconds is now 14 energy every 10 seconds, which means he only has to critical 3 times in 10 seconds to make up the energy, which is going to happen.

snow bunny: my partner was TYLA

. with that said, i can barely beat the computer most of the time, so being schooled by avarre is kinda expected.

Stealth Bomberman · Nov 05, 2008, 01:01 AM // 01:01

i think it could have some potential. try this chain instead:

[golden fox strike] [golden fang strike] [death blossom]

in last slot run a cheap enchant, something good though like [way of perfection], if u cant manage putting att pts in 4 lines run [Critical defenses]

gj on tryin something new
