What kind of secondary would work with Henchie PvE and then switching to GvG? I was thinking about E/Me but im not sure. Ive heard E/Mo but i really dont want to Monk.

There's really only E/Mo for GvG and/or (IMO) PvE...

Except, of course for E/me, E/A, and E/D, all of which are solid choices seen in top tier play.

I'll give you E/A, but I've never seen any of those other secondaries used in top tier play.

Well can an E/Me be used effectivley in PvE or and any ovther kind of PvP?

Thom Bangalter · Jan 29, 2007, 05:43 AM // 05:43

Just go e/mo. No one wants an e/me running around in gvg, because he's not going to have any sort of utility, and ele damage is terrible.

'Cept for Searing Flames, which 1) is going to get nerfed and 2) you can't do much with your /Me anyway, why not go /Mo for at least something (I don't know, Draw maybe? Purge Sig, even? I don't play SF.)

E/A is viable in top tier play, but will get nerfed, so I won't recommend a complete newbie to play that, since the future of it is uncertain.

aegis is pretty hot on a sf bar too, in addition to draw.

No. 12characters

Well if i go E/Mo will people just expect me to monk? Cause i really dont want to monk.

Dr Strangelove · Jan 29, 2007, 10:39 PM // 22:39

E/me is used for obsidian flame spike, which was pretty godly there for a while.

E/D, well I was thinking of gankers, which E/A is better for. I retract that one.

If you go E/mo, people will expect you to be an ele.

If you go Mo/x people will expect you to be a monk.

See a pattern?

The most recent Obsidian Flame spike I knew was E/Mo with wards and...Heal Area, I think? =P

Dr Strangelove · Jan 30, 2007, 03:03 AM // 03:03

I think that's the HA one. The GvG one used mantra of resolve and was capable of splitting, unlike the heal area build.

narcotic squirrel · Jan 30, 2007, 03:04 AM // 03:04

So whats so good about E/Mo? what kind of roles do they play?

I dunno, I only faced E/Mo obsid flame spikers in GvG post-Factions. But I don't GvG awfully much, so it's open to interpretation.

All in all, even if E/Me can do obsid-flame spikes, it isn't an optimal overall profession for GvGing or PvEing (PvEing is, of course, IMO).

The Elementalist, being more of a support profession, gets more utility in the Monk secondary as well as being able to pump out Heal Party.

Only if you count sending a monk and the runner back.
