Curse

Basically a monkey spike, with a few alterations. Anything you think I should change?

R/Me
Dual, Savage, Oath Shot, rtw, fertile, drain enchant, inspired enchant, res sig

R/E
Dual, Savage, Crip Shot, rtw, windbourne, frozen, whirling, res sig

R/E
Dual, savage, punishing, rtw, gale, fav winds, whirling, res sig

All rangers running 455 hp builds(defense bowgrips), 14 expertise. I have a PvE mask switchoff when holding for fertile

N/Mo
Martyr, Purge, Life Bond, Aegis, Order of Pain, Vamp Gaze, blood rit, Res Sig
(bond bonder)
Me/N
OoV, vamp gaze, consume, blood rit, rend, rigor, profane, res sig

Sb/Infuse monk
Woh/Hp/double hex removals
SoD bonder with vital and veils

Spike is 3x duals, 2 savages, a punishing, 2 orders up, and 0-2 vamp gazes.
Monk setup i usually leave open depending on what they like to run.

Anything i can do to improve? I think my order's builds seem to need work

How about this:

Let your fast casting mesmer do OoV and OoP on as many teamates as possible while your necro does curse on the target like barbs and weaken armor? That way your necro does not loose health, since you have him as a bonder. Since the necro is now Curses, you would probably want to change the blood ritual to some other form of healing like parasitic bond.

The weaken armor really helps since your ranger spike is all rtw (physical damage prep).

Not Really
id rather have Both Orders all the Time, it makes the job Easier for Both Classes
lol why the RED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GO would u change Blood Rit?... its a Monk Battery
nuthin to change really... its a iA R Spike without the Crip Shot.
Weaken armor wont help you, you spike down targets fast and its Recharge time is not worth for shit
hes just a bonder For the Prot Monk, so the prot doesnt take as much damage.

Agreed...the only reason I changed blood ritual is if the necro went all curses.

It just seemed like that necro is doing too much being a bonder, watching for conditions, adding OoP to 3 rangers, and switching to target for vamperic gaze spike. With only 3 rangers, I just thought it would be easier for the mes to focus on the rangers while the necro focused on the target just prior to the spike, but your probably right.

I dont like the 2 drains in the spirit spammer build. I would rather have one drain and take out inspired for symbiosis cuz after all u will have a bonder. Oath shotting drain is as good as always having a drain when u need it as long as u dont always miss with ur oath. I also think the r spike kinda lacks more interrupt because now u only have 3 savage 1 punish and 1 gale for interrupting ghost. I dont know if thats enuff when two ghosts is capping cuz a guardian/spellbreaker maybe enuff for the ghost to cap. I think it may be a good idea to take out the well of the profane for a drain enchant because well of the profane is quite energy heavy and not that easily to put up with all the players bringing corpse control. I think the N/mo should take out blood ritual cuz two blood rituals is a overkill. Since the mes already has consume for energy management he should be fine on blood ritualing monks and stuff when holding.

You should Try having a monk with martyr and the necro have amity, so against iway they cant attack, and you pick them off 1 by 1. a build i was gonna try with amity was blood spike and it worked very good.
