No. You can still use the prophecies only skills build. You can still clear as much as this version. You will be sacrificing a damage slot on your skill bar however. You will also need to be more careful around interruption, KD, and enchant removal.

* updated guide with link to video for the 2 shadow monks, 1 mesmer group that is giving people problems. I start the video showing which warriors to save, and the murder of the 2 monks and their mesmer buddy. The group is set up at 2:40 secs into the video and dead by 5:20. Proceed to the next step in guide after this is completed. You can keep some warriors to tag along on your way to get the next group if you wish.

Spirit Bond: expires after 10 attacks or Spells.

Well spirit bond was nerfed, any idea what skill to use instead of this one? Do you think its still usable or no?

I replaced Desecrate enchantments with Healing Breeze.

Still works, I successfully took down the first group (3 monks) but it is a good deal slower.

i am not in game so far 2700 files left

, do you have any problems with SS? I mean arent creatures running away if they have just few hp left?

Koning · Oct 26, 2006, 01:21 PM // 13:21

Yes, they run from it. They only dont run if you only have 3 or less enemies, so runs will be slowed down alot...

This just sounds worse than bad, it looks like you will have problems with energy + slowed ufff i hope i am dreaming.

Build still works, just replace desecrate enchants with healing breeze. Solo'd first 30 or so just to check. If you don't combine multiple groups they shouldn't run from it.

I will update skills today...even though none of use will prolly be in there, and we will all be busy once NF comes out.

You can still clear the same areas in my guide np. Just don't get large groups in SS's aoe. Same strategy as before basically but more tankable with healing breeze and spirit bond. Spirit bond is still good to go, most times it doesn't even get the 10 hit expiration down there so it lasts the full duration. Even if it does get knocked off in the first 10 hits you gained 10 energy and stayed alive

Updated skills on first page to reflect the new update.

Geez and you told me to bring Vigorous Spirit, b l a h.

Anyways, those of you thinking to take that, I would suggest you to reconsider, since Spirit Bond obviously heals much more/gives your Shining Jea armor a use/lower recharge/faster casting time.

FyrFytr998 · Oct 28, 2006, 07:16 PM // 19:16

Have you adjusted your groupings to make it so aggro doesn't break off? I hear if it's 4 or less they stay aggroed.

Time for a bumb IMO

Finally ascended with my necro so I'm ready to give this a go
Works great

Just got killed by mesmer. Shatter Enchantment recharged faster than 25 seconds

PS. how about taking Shield of Absorption?

Bloodied Blade · Nov 05, 2006, 11:47 PM // 23:47

SoA wouldn't be that good here... degen + enchant removal makes it impractical to maintain (if you don't cover it, it's shattered and useless... if you cover it, you gotta use HB b/c a shattered PS will kill you...and a shattered HB is not a good thing). It would be doable, and great if you *could* do it, but it's gonna be really hard.

There are rare occasions that the mesmer will have an offhand or staff with faster recharge domination and if the recharge kicks in he will use shatter enchant again. It has happened to me before, luckily I survived and the mesmer dropped a 20/19 rare domination staff.

So try to keep PS covered as often as possible just in case.

I didn't have that happen to me in the few times that I've tried fow as a Mo/N, but I always keep PS covered just in case I mess up my timing and don't get the recharge for Shatter correct.

In case you haven't posted a vid of it yet, could you possibly make a small one with a little bit of the FoW Forest? I was wondering how well you do with that NR spirit and the interrupts & choking gas (which the worms use now...or at least they use it on my ranger).

EDIT: Nevermind...just noticed on your screenshots.

Thank you so much for the in depth explanation- I will definately give this a try- I have played GW since Beta but haven't mastered the art that you have- Thanks again!

novawhiz · Feb 02, 2007, 01:19 AM // 01:19

Whats alternative to spirit bond?

ephexx · Feb 02, 2007, 01:41 AM // 01:41

Do we HAVE to have Shing Jea Monastery Armor?? I don't have that place, I know where it is, but I don't have it, can I just use my droks bonelace that I have right now?
