This is my first build I post here, so be gentle. I have been testing it in RA to great effect to be honest. The biggest problem I am having with this build though, is the lack of a proper self heal. I am always relying on a healer of some sorts. Or I just have to hope another character in my party is a bigger threat to the opposing teams so they dont attack me.

The build is based around the thumper Platform. But I will be using a sword and more BM skills to get some real nice damage output. I have taken down monks in 10 seconds. And the better monks will eventually wear down. The 'spike' in my build revolves around Final Thrust and Brutal Strike. On squishy targets damage can go as high as 200, thus instantly killing them most of the time (of course, considering you got them below 50% hp). Here's the Build:

Armor:
I am using sentry's armor, becuase of the lack of a self heal I want more durability. Druids armor could be used for the added energy.

Weapons / Shields:
Set 1: Ebon Sword of Defense (15% stance) + -5 (20%) shield
Set 2: Vampiric Sword of Defense (15% stance) + -5 (20%) shield

Attributes:
Swordmanship - 12
Beast Mastery - 14 (10 + 1 + 3)
Expertise - 9 (8 + 1)

Skills
Final Thrust
Brutal Strike
Tigers Fury
Ferocious Strike [E]
Melandru's Assault
Charm Animal
Comfort Animal
Res Sig

The idea is to spam ferocious strike as much as you can. This way you energy will remain steady and your final thrust will charge fast. If the opponent gets enchanted use Melandru's Assault (this really helps taking down Boons). Also keep up tigers fury, and your opponent will soon enough be below 50%. Now start spamming Brutal Strike and use Final thrust. Thats basically it.

Any idea's Suggestions, especially concerning a self heal, will be greatly apprediated.
