Curse

i tried using gwpvx builds and pvx wikia, but a few things go wrong

1. the first raptor that i used mop on, for some reason stays where he is and doesnt follow me

2. while im waiting for the mop to recharge so i can use it a second time, i die

3. got both mops up, but for some reason my adrenaline does not charge up enough to use whirlwind, so my hp stands steady, then i die real quick then the block skills expire. Do I still get adrenaline for blocking ?

4. got both mops up, everything is perfect, hp normal, i use the block skill, whirlwind is filled with adrenaline, i click whirlwind and then it sais i dont have enough adrenaline and its darked out again...then i die

so my question is does this still work? did it get nerfed? can i get a build for it if it still works? am i not using the proper gear?

Knights obsidian helm of superior swordsmanship
knights obsidian cuirass of superior absorption
knights obsidian gauntlets of superior vigor
knights obsidian leggings of superior absorption
knights obsidian boots of major strength

Hero i use is hayda(para) with a pvx build too

my build: OQQUc4ISx6RWCdFpFqM9F5F6F7gA

hayda's build: OQCiYyo8sjNx84bM9uGDAAAA

I havent found any recent builds about this or recent youtube videos, is it because it got nerfed?

can someone whos a pro at this, link me their build code and hero build code?

wintersday is tommorrow T.T

Okay, it still works, albeit with about a 90% success rate in my expericene.

You have 2 Superior Absorbtion runes, which is a waste of one, as the bonus is global and non-stacking. Also you have a major strength rune. I'd swap this for a minor and take a minor tactics in place of the 2nd absorbtion rune too.

Useage:

Cast MoP on the 1st raptor (under the effects of CTT! and MH! by now), run around, group them up. When stood still, hit Dolyak, 100b, Protectors and Wary. Cast MoP on a new raptor. Use WW.

Although tbh if you're just farming wintersday items, I'd reccomend vaettir instead.

You're running into the cave while under the effect of "Incoming" or "Fall Back" while using sprint. This is a well known bug with ims stacking that is causing you to break agro. Or you've made a mistake and forgot to set the game to HM.

2 superior absorption is useless, i'd put a vitae or attunement over your leggings.
Also, your build shows Swordmanship 8, when 9 is required for your sword.

The best way to learn this build is to watch videos on YouTube. Don't worry about watching older videos; nothing significant has changed for this build. Anything from 2008 forward using the same or similar build should be relevant.

No, the build shows Swordsmanship at 12, assuming the helm boosts that attribute. Template codes don't account for runes, but the first post lists them. The first post also states this was intended for use during the Wintersday in July event, which is of course concluded.

One more point in Tactics gives 1 more second of Wary and Shield Stance, which I'd consider more valuable than 10 health or 2 energy. The extra 2 energy from Attunement is a particularly bad choice.

Here's the proper way to do it post-nerf:

Though, slightly different, switch shield stance and whirlwind on that bar and use shield stance before whirlwind.
