Melandru or Balthazar would be best.

BUT!!!! I recommend you go for a none avatar elite for AB. AB matches are just too long for an avatar be as useful as they are in RA/TA/HA

Also you'd probably die before getting the full use out of an avatar.

I don't die very often unless I get pounded by 3+ people. wierd, the NPC's at shrines can often-times kill me more often and easily than actual players. Wierd.

Anyway, I still with Lyssa 90% of my AB's. If not Lyssa, then Melandru. Definately Melandru. Dwayna also wouldn't be a bad choice, but only if it's currently your only choice. Otherwise,

Lyssa or Melandru.

Grenth would be more useful in Scrimmages and GvG's. Many 55 monks and 105 Derv's I've slaughtered with Grenth ^_^

"how about Vow of strength or ebon dust aura? my favorite avvys." ??? these were not avatars the last time I looked!

I use Dwayna a lot in my build, especially with my enchants an my enchant strip, which soon fills my energy and health. Pain in the butt if you come across someone who does a lot of interupts though.

There isn't any morale boosts, so none.

If you guys don't like avatars, theres another thread to put those comments in.
He's asking which avatar is best suited for AB, so answer the question instead of going "they suck so none."

My favourite avatar is Lyssa, it takes out eles so fast and the extra energy helps with my scythe attacks.

AB conflicts are about swift kills. You don't need Balthazar, just pack a speed boost and/or Crippling Sweep. Lyssa is good for smacking bad players around for tons of damage, occasionally. Dwayna is... no. Grenth in a place with little prot is questionable, unless you want to headhunt assassins. Melandru is an unstoppable rape machine.

Conclusion: Melandru.

Just bring Wearying Strike and Chilling Victory to kick people in the face.

I'll just point to Melandru and run.

BTW, taking an Avatar to AB isn't optimal since you won't get a jump-recharge by morale boosts, unlike in HA or in GvG, or even PvE.

Hi, my name is Melandru, and I am the juggernaut.

Condition immunity, huge health, strong attacks with wearying, pious restoration to deal with hexes, IMBUE HEALTH for team support... there's a reason it's run on splits in GvG, and many of those skirmish principles apply to AB.

I'd go with Melandru because in AB you SHOULD NOT fight other players if possible.

1 monk with run boost
3 dmg dealers with run boosts


Go Melandru and Wearying Strike, kill those NPCs fast.. that's pretty much it. Run to next group.
