Notice how this thread is for PvP.

In terms of monking in the lower arenas, I'm still debating over going ZB or LS.

Grape Bird · Sep 03, 2011, 04:44 PM // 16:44

What about double Xinrae's Weapon rits?

makosi · Sep 03, 2011, 08:30 PM // 20:30

Does it have to be an entire month of this idiocy? The last one was much more tolerable.

I haven't seen yet, nor do I foresee any good coming from this Flux.

Horus Moonlight · Sep 03, 2011, 09:10 PM // 21:10

I very much like this flux. Gives Invoke the buff it desperately needed.

Fluffy Kittens · Sep 03, 2011, 10:03 PM // 22:03

Seems to be the attitude of most casual pvpers this month. This flux just makes gameplay more FRUSTRATING not more FUN.

Luxon side FA just got the buff they've been waiting for.

I like running Major/Sup runes. With armor and vitae you can pull of relative success in casual PvP.

Try playing monk and get back to us.

Literally every flux has shat upon monks.

Horus Moonlight · Sep 04, 2011, 05:58 AM // 05:58

The last flux wasn't so bad for monks.

What terrifies me is that since Code was right about this flux, the other fluxes he posted might actually occur.

[EDIT] I don't monk often but this flux is seriously cheesing me. I'm bringing so much prot to deal with eles that I have almost no room to deal with melee. I essentially have to upkeep guardian on myself to deal with wars/dervs that train me.

This is what i noticed... I didn't win a single fight as kurzic yesterday, most of the time we lost around 50-60%...

Everyone is playing meta mesmers or invoke eles and it's a pain to kill when a monk is behind... plus a pain to survive to those damages + turtles ones + luxon warriors ones thanks to the -20 armor...

still,its extra dmg, evisc axe at 16 axe +conjure pumps

----------

or run spiritbond on a few eles also if ur playing invoke (this was supposed to be another post, but w/e)

superraptors · Sep 04, 2011, 09:01 AM // 09:01

a dervish outclasses axe wars in every way of pressure output

Indeed... i just did some GvG's and i gotta say i won't bother with PvP this month...
Triple dervs + blackout ranger pumps too much pressure, even if you kill you end up dying in fight few seconds later... Worse is those uncatchable ( some are but well... it comes every 5 sec..) invoke spikes, dealing -150 on air shield...

Everyone is running rit + invoke in Heroes Ascent and i guess it will be the same on GvG Mat... no point.

afya · Sep 04, 2011, 08:12 PM // 20:12

did some HA today, 7 random invoke ele, 1 healer hench = GG

mrmango · Sep 04, 2011, 08:33 PM // 20:33

I like the flux in JQ/FA, makes the match really fast.

AndrewSX · Sep 04, 2011, 10:07 PM // 22:07

In JQ the FLux makes imperative take some kind of self prot when capping. If guards were already nasty (L-hammer, clusmi, shatter, shots etc) with 20 ar less the're simply deadly.

Robdalf · Sep 04, 2011, 11:32 PM // 23:32

I switched my RoJ/Healer build to /E , converted my armor to Blessed and carry Armor of Mist (for me) and Windbourne Speed (for the carriers). Seems to mitigate the loss of armor pretty well. If I want more offense I switch in a few of the lightning skills. I don't need to spec much into Water to get 10 seconds of +16 armor which overall gives me better armor than I had before as long as I can keep an enchant up.

What the hell?

You guys do realize that flux only works in PVP, and not PVE right?

Invoke was already strong enough in PVP, ELLYS NEED BUFFING IN PVE NOT PVP.

I've been having fun in RA running lots of gimmick prot builds. An Ether Prism or Ether Prodigy E/Mo was actually working really well and getting lolworthy comments from my party members even though I was winning matches and keeping people alive

On my monk, I've found hat Prot Spirit + Frenzied Defense with good old WoH > Spirit Bond.

I'm trying, I love the challenge. I hate nubby RA team mates though who complain that they got no heals and wiped too fast when the enemy team had 3 Invoke ellys, or 2 invokes and a derv.

Some people cant even read the Flux.
