As most people know, part of the prize for winning the second season playoffs included the chance to work with arenanet on the new premade builds. Well thats a lot of work, so instead of us doing it all we'd like the community to help out and get the opportunity to have their names plastered all over one of those builds.

All you have to do is go to our website http://www.esoteric-warriors.com and, using our build creator, submit a build you think would work nicely as a premade. Then the community rates the various builds and we choose the winner from one of those top 5 rated builds.

Build Guidelines

* Self heals are strongly encouraged as most of these builds are used for new players in the Arenas.
* Should include a Resurrection Signet, or a Res Spell.
* Builds should be self reliant (example, no assassin combo's that require a hex and no hex's on the build).
* Include 4 tips per build in the description.
* All skills from both campaigns may be used (this includes all core, prophecies and factions skills)

Note: All builds must be received by Friday, June 30th, 11:59 GMT

Neat contest! Do we submit them as "public" builds?

Zephyr Jackson · Jun 08, 2006, 05:58 PM // 17:58

Yeah drop them in public. The idea is that the community then votes on them, after which we pick one out of the top five rated.

Cool, I just registered and submitted my favorite arena build (which works pretty well in PvE too!): Wicked Blade

(best name I could come up with on short notice and "Ghull's badass degen IW build" doesn't sound like it'd fit with ANet's naming conventions)

I hope I win! Woot!

LaserLight · Jun 08, 2006, 09:19 PM // 21:19

You guys rock

. I'll get right to work on this.

The reference to you will always be included, so yeah it doesn't have to be in the build name itself. A good idea would be to post a link to your build so you can get people on the forum to vote for you

Kabale · Jun 09, 2006, 09:15 AM // 09:15

Nice, submitted 2 already!

I posted up the main heal build I run on my Monk/X, with modifications noted in the description that work for some types of PvP (definitely not all). I generally don't even bother with the hex removal during PvE and instead carry around a cap sig for whatever secondary class I'm trying to cap for, or switch my secondary and bring along a skill/spell to suit the area (stance for defence, spinal shivers for my CC wand, etc., and so on). I find with DK and HB the hexes aren't such a big deal in PvE, and my play style generally warrants me the comfort of not running out of energy or losing teammates.

I've noticed a lot of Frenzy going on within the Warrior builds....I can't wait to see new players use these

Frenzy + Healing Signet! Woo!

It might be too hard to play for a prebuild, its rather finicky. But IMO this mesmer build has the right balance of shutdown, snares, and self heals. And I haven't seen anyone else yet use mantra of recovery with shadow arts spells - 10sec duration, 10sec recharge on caltrops is very fun, as is 4sec duration 4sec recharge on shadow refuge.

This is great. I've seen some pretty nice builds on this site and a few very nice submissions. I look forward to seeing more and I'll keep posting my own. It's pretty fun to try to make sure they all have very forgiving learning curves and yet don't just get tooled by the first experienced player they run into.

Keep it up
