13 Fast Cast
12 Curses

[rip enchantment][Enfeeble][Rigor Mortis][Malaise][Arcane Languor][Parasitic Bond][Barbs][resurrection signet]

target the enemy monk cast your spells and watch them die,

Most fun with Physicals on your team,

Cheers

@ Painbringer , does the exhaustion take place if you interupt?
@ Icy 55 , yes maybe [[price of failure] for melee
@ refer , exhaustion if your throat hurts you cant say that much which i refer to spells which need to be spoken less energy = less spells being casted
@ tyla yes that might work

I thought this would be an anti-shout/chant build. Maybe re-title it?

Zodiac Meteor · Feb 06, 2009, 08:40 PM // 20:40

...12 death magic?

Tyla · Feb 06, 2009, 08:54 PM // 20:54

Needs Faintheartedness for stronger antimelee.

Age · Feb 06, 2009, 09:34 PM // 21:34

Don't you mean 12 in curses?

Painbringer · Feb 06, 2009, 09:51 PM // 21:51

Opinion on the use of [Arcane Languor]

Why no disruption? It multiples the pain on monks. Some will try and wait it out then cast only as a last resort. It is real nice to stop them when they try to. [Power drain] [leech signet] [power spike] [cry of frustration] [web of disruption] [power return] etc...?

Icy The Mage · Feb 06, 2009, 10:23 PM // 22:23

2 cover hexes is worthless, replace either malaise or parasitic bond with a nice rend or faintheartedness

Spec 12 into curses obviously.

if [arcane languor] is on your bar, [aneurysm] should be too. It will damage them for their full energy amount, but won't replenish energy lost to exhaustion.

draxynnic · Feb 10, 2009, 11:25 AM // 11:25

Unless the Exhaustion from Arcane Languor works differently than normal, they cop Exhaustion as soon as they start casting. Thus, you can interrupt them to your heart's content.

Power Return would likely be adding insult to injury if they don't get the energy back because they have Exhaustion... Plus it's also Fast Casting.

WTB Faintheartedness. If you run curse, you should have it.

What PvP are you trying to make this build for? RA?

If you want to hate on spellcasters, you definitely want to bring interrupt/enchantment removal.

Mesmers without interrupt is disturbing.

I personally like [Psychic Instability] or [power block] and [power spike].

Not old enough. Gogo [Glyph of Renewal] and maybe [Glyph of Essence] if you feel brave. It is one of the most fun builds to play though maybe not as effective as modern bars.

Try using [Diversion] with it. It's useful if you're being camped by a ranger or want to be sure to take out that monk's WoH. Then GoR Power Leak (try to catch a Guardian or Shield of Absorbtion) or Shame and you can virtually eliminate that monk from play. Energy doesn't matter too much as you will have either Power Drain or Drain Enchantment and should be casting Glyph of Essence on a -5e shield set.

The major downsides are that you're left without a Rend or a hard Rez. It isn't too useful in GvG but it should work in RA.

I Jonas I · Feb 21, 2009, 06:46 PM // 18:46

Glyph of Essence + Diversion seems really overpowered, actually. If you're good enough to interrupt 3/4 second casting time skills with things like power leak, then you could theoretically do the same thing here except with RED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GOing diversion. Diverting WoH on command seems pretty overpowered.

Yuna Matsumarui · Mar 07, 2009, 09:39 PM // 21:39

i really like the idea. maybe web of distruption -> shatter delusions for perfect cover hex ( without any form of interrupt against it ) and some dmg + interrupt at the end.
takes 2 skills, though.

150 damage? Are you running Superior runes? I'd argue that disabling critical skills like Guardian constitutes more solid and flexible shutdown than big numbers. It's why a mesmer running [Power Block] can pretty much eliminate an enemy from play. Total prevention of an enemy using their skills is better than letting them make a half decent choice.
