Ok, thanks for the help..but I need to clarify some things:

#1 : Im not a newbie in RA, and I now i should take Holy Veil...yes, i´ll put it in the build

#2: Superior Runes....I now I shouldn´t put it, but it was the only way for having a maintenable Ghostly Haste, a durable Empowerment, and a High Energy reduction

#3 I thought that if I have [skill]mend body and soul[/skill] then [skill]weapon of remedy[/skill] wasn´t needed...

Well, i have to remake the build, I will post it after testing....

And, omg, Im still having problems with the tags of the skills...

@TheOneMephisto:
Well, I always been a fan of Rush when I was playing a Sword / Axe / Hammer Warrior.

Moving faster allows me to flee away from harm and use Healing Signet to heal up!

(Yeah I am a wuss.

haha, we faced you today! (and ended your streak, too)

i gotta say, the rit itself isn't so powerful -- i highly doubt you would've come far if your paragon wasn't motivation.

Stranger: defile for RA imo. parabond is dumb.

Yea, rush on a sword/axe/hammer warrior is absolutely necessary, but not on a spearchucker. Your warrior plays much more like a paragon, and paragon's don't need speedboosts to catch people.

And if you're mainly using it to run from people, disciplined stance is way better IMO. It gives you back your regular run speed while providing a cover for heal sigging since you're going to get it interrupted every time if there's an enemy ranger.

And then, if you don't care about movement speed, shield stance is also great too. Since you're running ridiculous tactics, shield stance will easily cover 2 heal sigs, which is nice.

Tuoba Hturt Eht · Dec 28, 2007, 11:49 PM // 23:49

@TheOneMephisto:
Hmmm. You are correct!

Since I can Cripple them via Maiming Spear, I don't really need that extra speed boost to chase those fleeing mofos right?

I think I will opt for Disciplined Stance!

With Tactics at 14, 6 seconds duration (if it does not end prematurely), 15 seconds recharge, so the downtime is 9 seconds. Quite reasonable yarr?

Yeah, protection against interrupting Rangers too! Though there is 25% chance that their shots will land in.

Haha I think I will pass Shield Stance, don't really like moving around slowly , especially in PvP!

Thanks for the pointers, mate!

The ele was RTL with some other stuff, ranger was magebane iirc, monk was woh. The ele and I would be constantly spiking stuff (even if I wasn't charged I'd still bull's-> crushing) and the ranger would interrupt everything in the world (magebane is gud). In TA we beat some pretty damn good teams. Moral of the story: communicate with your team for epic win.

Actually I laughed because you say the ranger version is harder to kill because of natural stride... you know... since that would be impossible to put on the bar I posted and all. It is pointless to run the R/P version because the spear skills are adren, thus expertise is pretty worthless on the bar. The paragon version gives you more armor, a better self heal, and extra spear damage. The hard res is optional. Basically I was laughing at your idiocy.

BTW sig of return is 5 seconds, I don't know what you are smoking.

Nothing wrong with a 6sec. res as long as you can cast it, it may win you a game, trouble is most people will get interrupted. On a Ranger yes Natural Stride may give you enough block to avoid interruption, won't help you against Magebane (fotm), shock, gale or a sin with unblockable attacks etc.

The trick is to kite and place yourself behind something so you can cast it which may not be so easy. A Mesmer with fast cast may get away with hard res. though Mesmers in RA tend to drop like flies due to inappropriate builds, so they may not get the chance.

A signet is safer.

RhanoctJocosa · Jan 04, 2008, 11:13 AM // 11:13

Not dying is ever safer D:

Tamuril elansar · Jan 04, 2008, 12:47 PM // 12:47

Since when can a RA team afford 10 seconds to ress up? res is something that should happen fast, especially in short battles.

The problem with the Rit build and most Healer Rit builds that come from RA, is that they are dependent on a spirit(s) for their skills to attain maximum efficency. In RA most players are either too dumb, or too lazy to take out the spirits, while in TA that is most likely what opposing teams will do first.
