Curse

Eroth · Sep 18, 2006, 01:45 AM // 01:45

Profession: [Necromancer/Assassin]

Name: [Sinful Bomber]

Type: [General AB and PvP (although it isn't too friendly to ya)]

Category: [Anti-npc/min mob/mob]

Attributes (this build I would suggest using Sup. Runes because when u activate you are immune to attacks)

Shadow Arts 12
Blood Magic 3+ w/e rune you want
Death Magic 12 + highest rune you have

Skills Set

Death Nova
Shadow Form {Elite}
Death's Charge
Rotting Flesh
Rising Bile
Singet of Agony
Plague Sending (curses but there is no attribute effect if curses is increased)
Shadow Refuge

Summary:
Okay in this build you will be dying....a lot, SO lose the ego of "Invincible" now. This is a VERY powerful build if used right. Now Since I can't rely too much on my teamates this is a SOLObuild.Make sure that you either a.) don't have a monk in your team or b.) make sure (s)he knows not to heal you.

Now, I have the skills in order of the usage. First Death Nova yourself use Shadow form while close, then charge in [i would try the center target (tab to change targets) if there is a trio]. Cast Rotting Flesh, rising bile, use singet and use plague signet to cast bleed on all of them, and don't worry about interupts, no one can cast anything on you or attack you. When you die from the attacks/ skills of the enemies (they have to be targeting you. Thats why this is solo) you will explode.
So in those 16+ seconds you have

Caused Bleeding
Caused Poison
Caused Disease
and done some damage

that should add up to -11 degen (thats 22 Health/second) and ~27-35 dmg.

Now incase Susy-screws-up-lots comes and nukes/takes the attention away from you to her you have a safe guard. Use Shadow Refuge if (s)he comes and live on. This will let you recover some health because when Shadow form ends you should end up with somewhere around 46-50 health.

This is a great Mob Setter (you basically kill npcs so there is less of a cap and fight on bases that the mob is heading too). and When fighting mins ALWAYS make sure you cast rising bile on either a.) the min master or b.) a min that it usually in a group (the Bone Fiends). It depends on the amount and type of mins being used.

Thanks To:
The Kurzicks that annoy the crap outta me in Kanai Canyon (I just forgot spelling of it) and mob a heck of a lot. They pwned me and now I pwn them...all the time (^_^)-b

Post Script (ps)
This Build can be used in any Alliance Battle Arena. It can be svery Flexible to your likings.

P.P.S.

If you see The Finale Chaotic, Infliction Fire, Will of Redmont, or Rejected Realality (me) and your using the Sinful Bomber build say "Hi" or "thx" or something along the lines of that. Cya out there soldiers!

hmmm interesting

might try it

Eroth · Sep 18, 2006, 01:53 AM // 01:53

Thx. It took me a while to figure out "If they wanna kill me, why not help'em along and take some with me". But it works out everytime. Just watch for trappers, and anti-enchant ppl. They can screw up death nova when you aren't watching (wasting your time), while trappers do dmg to you that you don't want (you want to cast all your spells b4 you die).

No it shouldn't be cause it caps out at -10, being 20 DPS.

oh sry didn't know that.thx

Why bother charging in and getting killed? What do you do when you die and they simply remove conditions and dance on your body?

You can easily cause max degen by using life transfer + life siphon. Although this would only be for one target you could always arcane echo it for a 2nd target. The mesmer skill epidemic can transfer conditions from target foe to adjacent foes also.

Eroth · Sep 18, 2006, 05:27 AM // 05:27

dude. this is mostly an anti-npc build. and in mob the conditions can't be contained if i spread them fast enough. Why are u so negative? do u do that? dance on dead ppl?

Riotgear · Sep 18, 2006, 06:13 AM // 06:13

I don't get it. Kind of an interesting concept, but wouldn't R/A with traps work better than death necro stuff? Especially with Shadow Form?

Eroth · Sep 18, 2006, 06:26 AM // 06:26

no there isn't enought time to set traps, plus u'd need a lot in Wild Suv, Shadow Arts, and Expertise. Not to mention that npcs are programed to run away after one trap hits them.

Bankai · Sep 18, 2006, 06:28 AM // 06:28

Dancing on dead people can be fun.

With a mesmer.

In your underwear.

I love the concept, I'll try it out later on.

Riotgear · Sep 18, 2006, 06:35 AM // 06:35

Got me on the stats, but...

Don't run far enough, every decent trapper I've seen has demolished the shrines. Saw one with VIM which worked VERY well.

Eroth · Sep 18, 2006, 06:39 AM // 06:39

for the stats just make sure u put 12 into both Shadow Arts and Death Magic, wit the rest into blood. Then add the best runes you have for Death magic.

well you can try that but I'm proposing this. It doesn't say anywhere that you have to use this build.

AuraofMana · Sep 19, 2006, 02:59 AM // 02:59

He's negative because this build is horrible.
I can just go Minion Bomber and cause poison and throw in a little Disease and Life Siphon around. Heck, I'll even bring Life Transfer with me to cost degens all around. The point is, you dying means one less member on your team. You dying does not mean they die. You dying means you are giving them free factions. Heck, you = free corpse for MM.
You need to remind yourself that AB is a TEAM GAME. I can deal more damage with 2 minions than with you suiciding around.

Eroth · Sep 19, 2006, 03:12 AM // 03:12

*sigh* Yes i thought that part throught. In the end the overall effect, if played to standards and correctly, will overlap the fac they get. I've been in more than one situation where the mobs headind to a base thats covered with ppl and theres only a little time left. I bomb and the mob obliterates. Plus IT'S A GAME you really don't have to take it this seriously.
