Would a build like this work? Three Conjure Hundred Blades Warrior to train stuff to death, a Smiting Signet Mesmer to buff them up immensely, basic two Monk backline, and a MoI Runner.

The last slot, I'm thinking a Paragon with [["Charge"]. [["Charge"] + [[Frenzy] for a almost [[Primal Rage] effect, and it can help the Monks kite too. Other shouts can be used too for more passive defense. Maybe [["Watch Yourself"] and [[Mending Refrain]? Should this Paragon be able to help spike too? Like with [["Go For The Eyes"] and [[Spear of Lightning] or [[Vicious Attack]? This is the bar I'm going to need help with the most because I can't come up with anything I like.

I am not intelligent in GvG at all so I could be completly wrong.

But I think people are spread out enough where HB is not being taken advantage of.

Looks cool though.

The reason for Hundred Blades isn't for the AoE. It's for the added damage.

No shutdown, no defense, no real splittability, no ench removal besides 1 mirror.

ac1inferno · Jan 22, 2009, 07:42 PM // 19:42

[[Signet of Humility] for shutdown, but I guess not enough. I wanted the Paragon to be defense. I guess there really isn't any splittability. Being a build with three frontliners, I thought removing [[Aegis] would be enough, guess not.

Blehh, another build idea scrapped.

Icy The Mage · Jan 22, 2009, 09:15 PM // 21:15

Yeah, you have no shutdown, no interrupts, and let me remind you. You won't "Train" something to death with no shut down or no pressure.

Conjure doesn't activate on hundred blades hits. Hundred Blades isn't powerful or viable enough for GvG, and I couldn't even see using this in PvE, sorry.

Krill · Jan 22, 2009, 10:22 PM // 22:22

You can still run triple warrior but don't bring SoH and conjures and get a better midline. This just looks like a rehash or derv smite and that has long been out play because of signet mesmer nerfs, a lot more enchant removal, end of VoD and it was shit in general.

Dev hammer
PR shock axe
PR rip axe
MS ranger or MoI dom mes
FC lingering curses mes
RC monk
WoH monk
HC or MoI rit flagger

I imagine that would work a lot better.

MaaKotka · Jan 23, 2009, 06:23 AM // 06:23

There is so much wrong with this build. You have quite high possible damage potential, but you have no way to force that damage through enemy's defense. No snares, no disruption, no enchant removal (besides mirror), no kds. This plus lack of defense and you are simply screwed especially when your build is also bad at splitting.

About hundred blades warrior. It actually does quite much damage in small packages, but it needs some other character to snare its target. Also did I already say that it don't have any kds or disruption. Anyway nice idea, but won't work in real life (in guild wars anyway).

I'd feel so naked without [bull's strike]

Wut.

Edited due to my quote failure.

It could work if you swapped the casters for 3 more paragon and another warrior.

Most of the time, builds that are formed out of a skill that looks nice never work. You can't rely on pure damage output to kill, maybe in the 500+ region, but it won't work against anyone smart enough to split you off where you're weak. Try forming something more balanced, even smiteway is more balanced than this.
