Curse

I only have prophecies and nightfall right now, plan to get factions and

GWEN in hopefully a few weeks. I just want a general opinion on this build for

PvE, I've tested it a bit, and it seems pretty ok, but the only thing bothering

me is the energy management.

I've checked out some builds all over the internet and I've come up with some

skills that might help me. The problem here is I don't know where they would

fit.

- Aura of Holy Might
- Zealous Renewal
- Asuran Scan

Energy management might be from too much attack skills. My opinion: keep Wounding Strike, Mystic Sweep and Victorious Sweep. Keep Heart of Fury, when you get EotN and factons, add in Aura of Holy Might and Asuran Scan. This leaves you with 2 open slots. My opinion: use Attacker's Insight, invest 4 points into Wind Prayers and use Attacker's Insight, awesome energy management. And then you have 1 free slot, either get a rezz, or some other slot-filler.

You definitely do not need that many attack skills, and if you do want to use that many, I would heavily recommend switching your elite to Zealous Vow. Otherwise you're going to run out of energy very quickly. And how come you have points in Earth Prayers but no skills that use it?

I'll second Slasher's recommendations - keep WS, MS, VS, and Heart of Fury. Get AoHM and Asuran Scan when you have EOTN and Factions. Definitely put those Earth points into Wind Prayers and get Attacker's Insight on there ASAP.

As for the last slot, a res or some sort of utility skill. I usually don't carry a res on my bar, and tend to have an open slot. Commonly I go /Mo for condition removal, /Me and use Mantra of Flame if I know I'll be fighting a lot of stuff that do fire damage, Lightbringer's Gaze if I'm somewhere with Margonites, or I just use Faithful Intervention as a cast-and-forget enchantment to help power Mystic Sweep, and also for an emergency self-heal should it ever be needed.

OgWkMkprKyi0FIzF3H0lBgMo4W4G is what I'm using at the moment (Scythe headpiece with +2 rune, +1 Mysticism, +1 Wind Prayers). The Inspiration points can be subbed into any other attribute you wish, I just have them there because I have Mantra of Earth on my bar at the moment. The e-management is simply ridiculously good and I'm able to constantly spam attack skills upon recharge. Whenever I get around to getting Asuran Scan I'll probably replace Radiant Scythe.

Cool, build works a lot more smoother, thanks for the tips =)

I used to swear by WS, but then I recently sat down and did the math on it and discovered that a typical Zealous Vow build gets so much more dps than a WS build that it'll overcome the spike of the deep wound in 2 or 3 seconds. So unless you don't have enough room on your bar for several attack skills, you're better off with zealous vow.
