So yeah, Destoyers are pretty much able to go right through blocking so I figure the only good way to prevent damage from the melee and rangers (not worried about the spellcasters at all) Is to give Vekk Blinding surge. Seems to work ok but he doesn't really spread it THAT good.

Is there any other hero builds that can prevent melee damage since blocking is almost out of the question. I am a RT btw.

SabWay + Imbagon = answer to all problems.

.....Sabway uses blocking and requires all 3 of my hero slots. Imbagons can only be run by humans. Sorry not what I need.

I always used a Minion Master, a SS/insidious/weakness spammer and a Lightning Elementalist (Blinding) for heroes. In NM and HM it was pretty much flaweless. YThe minions catch a lot of damage. Hope that helps, gl.

The thing about sabway and destroyers is that they tend to have very little condition or hex removal. If you really dislike Sabway, I'd still bring 1 Curses Necro and then maybe a BSurge Ele.

[Ebon Dust Aura] + [Volley]

[Enfeebling Blood] + [Reckless Haste]

[Ineptitude] + [Epidemic]

All the above will work as a good starting platform for a hero build.

You'll find [scourge healing] to work very well against destroyer's Inner Fire as they use it all the time, rather than just when their health is low.

RT+Sabway should be all you need. When I do stuff on my Rit I take the spot of the N/Rt healer and replace it with either a WoH/Hybrid or just whatever.

If you fail with sabway your doing it wrong.

Necromancers with weakness work pretty well. [Enfeebling Blood]

You can always complement it with "Poor Mans Imbagon": Warriror or paragon hero with high tactics and [Watch Yourself!].

One is an elite, one isn't; It depends on the rest of your build which is better for the situation.

But yes, if you can both get [Soul Bind] and have a suitable hero build it is a good choice against destroyers.

What What Modified Sabway What????

For 8 seconds, the next time target ally takes damage from a foe that damage is limited to 5% of that ally's max Health and that ally steals up to 20...68 Health from that foe.

and

Soul Bind: For 30 seconds, every time target foe is healed, the healer takes 20...68 damage. This hex ends if target is suffering from a Smiting Prayers hex.

Meh, forget it. I've added a few options anyway.

Oh, but wait, the OP doesn't seem to want Sabway...

Now that causes a problem.

I don't know as we have even established if the OP can run a full Sabway team with the three necro.

Now I know this may hurt to know, but I believe I was offering options which is what the OP was looking for. There are many ways to skin a destroyer and not all of them require Sabway.

Take not that my first build setup doesn't req. all three necros only two and hes got EoTN so he can get Livia, NF has Masters and NF+Proph has Masters and Olais so as long as he doesn't just have Factions and EotN he is fine.

As for the OP sabway

to me it seems that hes either confused about Sabway or has along the way picked up some really bad Sabway Setups as there are many out there if i recall the ones posted on PvXwiki are utter shit which is why I took the time out of my schedule to type out the Coding for the build so he could just copy and paste, because Sabway has no blocking in it at all just synergy with each other.

Now for the impressing I was unaware that showing the flexibility of Sabway in many locations of the game was impressing. Then you got me on that one.

That set up has plenty of Prot. The build you posted was the Sabway before a few AI updates. Also [Blood of the Master] on a Jagged Bomber? Getting them killed is what you want so wasting the time and health to heal them isn't the main purpose of a Jagged Bomber

I simply said that if you have a suitable build it is a good choice, I never said there were no suitable builds nor did I suggest he shouldn't take it.

Because I wanted to make it short and simple and didn't feel like writing another book.
