not enough damage. the most you could try with a sin is Moebius or shattering.

the sin plus barbs is enough damage trust me

Looks very griefish.

Your rit and monk probably can't keep you alive for to long..
And you sin build just fails hard..
Why is black mantis trust in there? You could start your chain with black spider strike anyway..
You need a better combo like:
Black Mantis trust, Jungle Strike, Trampling Oxe, Falling Lotus Strike, Twisting Fangs

Not enough pressure. You'd better go with weapon of remedy Rit to add pressure and take a secondary with some non-elite hex removal. Your rit is too much Healing oriented. He has to deal damage, either by spliting attributes into channeling and gogo warmonger + Ancestor's rage, or go Weapon of remedy.

Your necro is okay. Remove barbs, because barbs is good with many physical attackers, you have only one, as you have only one, he will additionally be shutdown soon and fast (never met EDA D/P, BHA R/M, Prot monk and third variable (thumper or Rit, seen mesmer too) team?).
Your sin is spikey (but a bad spike), but lacks DPS. As you go for a DPS/pressure build (because you have a smiter that will randomly deals damage, no way to focus it) you'd better take a good ol' thumper or an heavy degen mesmer or necro (and yet not convinced). Even a SoJ A/Mo would do better. Bringing a semi-spike in a pressure build dosn't work as your sin can't add pressure between his spikes.

Don't like smiter's builds anyway. It is a shitty build that is taken just because the amount of KD in TA is insane.

So there are ideas, but I think it can be greatly improved. Your sin and rit build have to be reworked.

obviously [skill]Black Mantis Thrust[/skill] is in there for the crippling for [skill]Trampling Ox[/skill]

Running a necro with IP and POF+RH is stupid imo. Replace IP with FH. That is the only improvement I can suggest though. The rest fails hard. I dont see how you can kill.

You didn't really understand what I tryed to say..
I meant to say that you can start your spike black spider strike.. So black mantis thrust is bad to begin with..

Take our the assa for a warrior.

TheOneMephisto · Nov 21, 2007, 02:40 AM // 02:40

If you're going to take black mantis you might as well take jungle for the fast activation and ridiculous damage.

I would probably:

1. Drop the smiter for a dedicated monk:

[skill]Zealous Benediction[/skill][skill]Reversal of Fortune[/skill][skill]Gift of Health[/skill][skill]Spirit Bond[/skill][skill]Dismiss Condition[/skill][skill]Holy Veil[/skill][skill]Guardian[/skill][skill]Return[/skill]

You can switch up the bar to include other kinds of utility, but I prefer this general outline.

2. Move the rit away from healing and more to universal support with the broken power of Warmonger's Weapon:

[skill]Expel Hexes[/skill][skill]Mend Body and Soul[/skill][skill]Wielder's Boon[/skill][skill]Weapon of Warding[/skill][skill]Warmonger's Weapon[/skill][skill]Ancestors' Rage[/skill][skill]Life[/skill][skill]Death Pact Signet[/skill]

Expel is a very strong solution to the recent surge of hex pressure teams, Warmonger's Weapon + Ancestor's Rage helps to ensure the sin spike is fatal. If you're confident about a lack of hex teams, Offering of Spirit is a strong replacement for Expel. Be careful about energy management, use your healing only to support the monk if necessary. Spirit Light can replace Wielder's Boon if you'd prefer.

3. Improve the necro's bar through more compatible skills:

[skill]Corrupt Enchantment[/skill][skill]Price of Failure[/skill][skill]Insidious Parasite[/skill][skill]Parasitic Bond[/skill][skill]Glyph of Lesser Energy[/skill][skill]Resurrection Signet[/skill]

You have two open slots; use them as you prefer to help the sin, provide more hex pressure through degen and / or provide another layer of defense.

4. Either use a stronger sin build with one of these chains:

Black Mantis Thrust - Jungle Strike - Trampling Ox - Falling Lotus Strike - Twisting Fangs

Or

Golden Phoenix Strike - Wild Strike - Shattering Assault

Alternatively, I might drop the sin for another frontliner more pressure oriented, which would probably be more compatible. Anything decent works: steady stancers, shock axe, cripslash, backbreakers / DHers, thumpers). You could also replace the necromancer with a D/P ebon dust spearchucker.

You have an Anti Melee Necro and 2 Healers but you don't think they will last long...Lasting too long will probably be the problem.Unless the players that play the builds are crap ofc.
