Well I've seen a lot of weird builds in my time but the strangest was a W/E whos primary weapon was a wand and a flame artifact and went around casting spells like an Ele. Needless to say he ran out of mana pretty quick and was killed by me in RA.

Perhaps not as weird as it was a newbie's first try at a jack of all trades... ;P

Though, I've been thinking of how a W/E nuking build could go with the elite skill Flourish... recharges all your skills and gives you +x energy per skill recharged. I've never heard it used in a build before, and personally, I don't know why.

Flourish only recharges attack skills.

Well using Flourish on a W/E nuker will be weird if you think it recharges spells too!! Haha

The main problem is that all other classes have +4 energy regen whereas warrior only has +2 and can only store half as much. This way they have to rely mainly on adrenal skills. But having a W primary and E secondary to kill people using spells is like taking everything thats weak about a warrior and forcing them to be your main offense.

Weirdest build was also the worst. Full knighted w/n with Dark Bond and no minions. This was after the Dark Bond fix.

IW + Hammer.

Was he fighting with a sword and using Contemplation of Purity? If so I think I know who you're talking about.

Siliconwafer · Feb 07, 2006, 08:54 AM // 08:54

Wierdest? A W/E running firestorm, until I realised he was running hamstring too, which immediately made it into the best build ever to be run in Guild Wars.

I just got out of CA and I got on a team with a w/mo... a PURE healing w/mo. Amazingly enough the guy actually did a really good job with the heals. He was never targeted and was able to heal at his hearts content. We won about 5 matches with a couple of flawless victories and then of course I net err7. I wonder if they were able to get more wins.

BBoy_Manchild · Feb 07, 2006, 09:05 AM // 09:05

the weirdest build i have seen....
o yeah i got one, i saw a wammo in RA not using mending/breeze/healing hands/glads defense/bons defense/ or any other defensive stances. i thought that was REALLY wierd

Funda · Feb 07, 2006, 09:07 AM // 09:07

in PvE, I was in a group with an E/Mo who was fighting with a sword and a shield. No spells. o_0

premi3r · Feb 07, 2006, 02:30 PM // 14:30

A healing warrior... which was sad because we won about 14 consecutive matches because of him. No one knew that he was another healer, since I was the main target being a monk. He even did a lot of damage to necros because he had a smiting rod!

Avarre · Feb 07, 2006, 02:54 PM // 14:54

A Mo/W that used prot spirit/healing breeze/guardian with 550+ life and proclaims themselves a tank in highlevel zones. I'm not sure what was weirder, the fact he though he could tank (which was proven wrong very fast) or the fact that nobody challenged his declaration of tanking, not even the warrior (who had dolyak and glads def).

fiery · Feb 07, 2006, 03:04 PM // 15:04

everytime i see a monk/ele running up to me with a sword and shield whacking away at me than casting metoer shower-> flare ->flare ->flare ->flare -> no more flare causes hes dead.

Kwisatz_Haderach · Feb 07, 2006, 09:49 PM // 21:49

my weidest build has to be that meteor storm warrior i used last weekend in RA.

Needless to say IT actuaaly worked!!!!

I always won at least 5 games in the 5 times i used it and went to TA twice.

Stonefist guantlets make it the cheapest build in the game.

Last night, in Random Arena, I was in a cluster of 4 warriors beating on each other. We were the last 4 alive and there were 2 on each team.

2 died (1 from each team) at the exact same moment...1 of whom is the one I was beating on. For some reason, I got our life bars switched in my mind and I thought I was dead.

So there I am, getting beat on by a Hammer Wa/Mo while typing out furious questions as to why my teammate (who was actually me) was just sitting there letting the enemy attack him. after about 10-15 seconds of my teamates just shouting "KILL HIM!!!", one of them finally uses my name and 'YOU ARE ALIVE' in the same sentence.

Sure enough, I was still alive and had been beaten on for 10-20 seconds without dying this whole time. I used Gale, Sprinted, healed, and came back to axe him to death.

The moral of the story? All heal and no hammer makes Wa/Mo a dull boy. Remember to boost your weapon attribute

ok let me start by saying W/Ele nuker build is not a weird build.

my main war is and always has been a tank/nuker. ofcourse after u kill ppl over and over they r always calling u a noob for a war using meteor shower. lol

but here is the build

Fire-12
Strength-9
swords-9
tactics-9

bonetties defense/sever artery/savage slash/watch urself/pheonix/meteor shower/inferno/flameburst

my primary weapons r FDS and crimson carapace, when i use meteor shower i switch to my falchion and flame artifact 20/20

and ive used that since day one with only 1 real change Firestorm. lol

VGJustice · Feb 08, 2006, 06:32 AM // 06:32

Seems to me that most of these builds are more like "Usless or stupid" builds, but that's probably just me.

Weirdest build I've ever seen is a Mo/R with a pet and no smiting. Whoops, I'm the one running that! (It works... sorta.... never use in PvP EVAR)

Tuesg · Feb 08, 2006, 10:04 AM // 10:04

I had a W/Mo in THK who was convinced he was a monk and kept spamming "OMG Y DO I KEP RUNING OOT OF ENG"

It was rather annoying, needles to say the group wouldn't kick him and we failed.
