It's not really worth it though man, even with the buff. It's honestly a skill that could be better replaced, same with MW actually. I'd throw Diversion or Shame or something on the bar.

Just my RA Hammer build;

[build prof=W/R name="Basic Hammer W/R" box hammer=12+1+3 strength=12+2][Flail][Enraging Charge][Devastating Hammer][Crushing Blow][Mighty Blow][For Great Justice][Antidote Signet][Resurrection Signet][/build]

No bstrike is dumb.

Maneo Ranae · Jun 15, 2008, 02:04 PM // 14:04

With a good hammer, + Enraging Charge & FGJ up, you can 5-hit almost anything, except for Para's, W's and Protters/blockers, with this build. No need to KD kiters, there won't be any, they'll be dead before they'd want to

.

I usually run
[magebane shot][distracting shot][debilitating shot][apply poison][mending touch][troll unguent][lightning reflexes][resurrection signet]
on ranger, obviously. great fun, sometimes I bring [crippling shot] instead of [magebane shot].

My new Smite Monk, works quite well:

[shock][holy strike][signet of judgment][stonesoul strike][bane signet][signet of rage][spear of light][resurrection signet].

Yeah I think the hexes need some tweaking, and d-shot it totally preference based, but the concept seems to work really well for now. Of course it's always luck of the draw playing a mid position that doesn't do much damage or heal in RA though.

More reason to roll out Symbolic Strike these days.

The whole point of Symbolic Strike is to use it with Dismember so you can be spiking more frequently.

This build could be really cool along with a Paragon that has [Lead the Way!] :

[build prof=W/R axe=12+1+1 tactics=10+1 strength=8+1][Bull's Strike][Dismember][Symbolic Strike][Agonizing Chop][Soldier's Stance][Healing Signet][Antidote Signet][Resurrection Signet][/build]

[build prof=N/X death=12+1+1 Soul=11+1 Curse=6][toxic chill][malign intervention][vile miasma][enfeeble][parasitic bond][hexer's vigor][resurrection signet][rip enchantment][/build]

I'm just fan of malign intervention.

Super Igor · Jun 20, 2008, 02:59 PM // 14:59

[build prof=R/P box beast=11+1+3 spear=11 exp=8+1][barbed spear][enraged lunge][optional][call of haste][otyughs cry][resurrection signet][comfort animal][charm animal][/build]

Dang I just love this build in ra, huge pressures, huge domoges works wonders on ra noobs.

I either take [feral aggression] or [disrupting lunge] for optional slot.

Did I miss a skill update? The only thing you have to get rid of daze (on self) is antidote signet; with a 1 second cast it becomes useless.

If you need daze-off best bet is CoP.

DarkNecrid · Jun 28, 2008, 01:56 AM // 01:56

uh

how does it become useless.

Daze only lengthens spell casting, not signets.

With the current RA/TA meta prots are just useless.

No such a thing as RA meta. And read the title, this is not about TA.

Drop dwayna's kiss (redundant with WoH and Patient anyway), and then you might be able to fit a guardian or something on there.

Master Ketsu · Jun 28, 2008, 08:49 AM // 08:49

Actually RA does have a meta - its the TA meta in a retarded warped format were only half the players actually follow it, but it is noticeable. Its largely influenced by cookie cutter solo builds that can usually do well on their own - Me/n midnight, Dervish wounding strike, and others to name a few.

Prot monks are indeed having a harder time, I'm finding that monk builds that focus on self preservation and keeping your party clean are becoming more efficient.
