Pretty fun build since you can cast WoH in less than .4 seconds and guardian at about .5. I give interrupters nightmares when they try to catch my WoH and can sometimes even outmonk Mo/A primaries running ZB builds. Definitely fun when you want some crazy proactive FC monking. Signet of Rejuv is also godly with 12 FC, its near instant.
Just wondering what's the point of having Channeling on there? It lasts 8 seconds because you have no attributes in Inspiration.

I've been doing this up in RA, and its pretty sick. Scorpion wire is overpowered once you learn to use it.

I personally find Rush is better than Enraging in that slot. The low adrenaline cost means that you can Frenzy more often, and kiting targets is less of an issue. The adrenaline bonus of Enraging is nice, but it's appeal wears off when you are struggling to hit a fleeing opponent.

I pretty much agree with JR on the Rush comment, it allows for much more switching between speed stance and IAS - Things are going to be much less able to kite you plus you'll be able to cancel frenzy with much more frequency and be a lot safer when using it.

On Shock Axe in arenas I used to take Healing Signet over D Chop too... it made getting wins without a monk a bit more viable but when I did have a monk I really despised not having D Chop (then watching enemy monks using their 2r Guardians >_<) - I just always take D Chop now .

Don't feel dumb, it's bad build. Doesn't have speed buff, enchantment removal, interupt, nothing...Oh, but it has 3 skills for tanking. How nice.

Gale can be swapped for Shell Shock, Rez Sig, Meditation, pretty much anything...

I claim all rights to say that I was the first to make this build.

what exactly is the point in the dervish blindbot?

the air ele char can assist spikes and use gale more, what advantages does D/E have over E/x?

Um, 25ish seconds of weakness and 14ish seconds of blind. The energy management on 10 energy skills and below is better than Dual Attunes. 15 energy spells are only 1 energy less than a dual attune.

But that's not really the point...

It's a friggin D/E being a blindbot. That's enough to warrant an excuse to use the build.

I quite like the idea. Would probably replace Storm Djinns with Res sig for RA, rather than gale.

i still don't see the point. standard air ele can do that and actually do some damage / extra utility too. only advantage i see is a bit of extra armour... you seem to be saying that you should use this gimp build just because you can.

I think the point was that he could extend the duration of conditions drawing upon the Mysticism line--something you can't do if you go E/D.

On a side note never really been a fan of playing a support character role in RA, takes too long to find a decent team so you can grab 10+ wins.

hehe oops, im actually running 6 insp on that build. It's really there because I don't have too many other options for Emgmt with the exception of Pdrain.

Ah, ok!

I was running a fast cast WoH Me/Mo with all monk skills during peak hours in RA the other day, it was amazing, I didn't even get targetted half the time, nubs must have wondered why it was so hard to kill anything

it's amazing how low the standard of play is early evening.

RA late at night on the other hand is another matter. lots of well co-ordinated spike+shutdown around, mostly sync joiners i think.
