yeah but if you wear fire armor to help with warrior/rangers you'd still take some good damage from all but fire elem. If you went with just winter to hurt elems then you'd still be vulnerable to warrior/most ranger attacks. Using both you convert any phy or elem damage all to cold making your armor that more resistant. Imagine using both cold/fire spirit w/ Mesmers Mantra of frost to reduce any cold damage, for 30 seconds, up to like 44% more. That would rock, but conditions and hexes will still hurt you.

well the more i think about it the more skill consuming that whole build becomes. I've never played pvp serious enough to find people who actually know what to kill when it comes to spirits (fertile season being the most obvious). Basically i think a ranger team build would work fine for this since only a couple, maybe three, rangers would need to equip the rituals (deciding on which one of the six spirits to kill becomes difficult and does draw attention away from the most precious resource of the game - the player).

your interest in mantra of frost only poses the problem that u could find it hard to think outside of these three skills. for example versus another ranger u could easily be killed regardless of all that protection and that i know cause im a ranger so possibly all the other classes out there could do similar things? more posts would revveal all.

I would be curious to kow what 5 other skills u would add to make this build better...

Hmm... Kindle arrow, tigers fury, penetrating arrow/or dual shot, pin down, Inspired hex/antidote signet/troll urgent one of those to deal with conditions/hexes, mantra of frost,winter, greater conflag...but another ranger or two could bring one of these spirits: winter/greater conflag/fertile season so that you can free up a slot for Conjure phantasm,psn arrow, hunter shot, or charm animal. Anyone think this might work ok?

Judge's insight is popular in builds using barrage because the low duration is easily maintained since you won't be able to use any preparations. Certain builds with more emphasis on single target damage will probably take a conjure element with a preparation to minimize the hassle of reusing the buffs.

If you have no idea what I just said, I suggest you concentrate less on perfection and more on enjoying the game. There'll be plenty of time for obession later.
