ok so i was checking out me/e, me/mo and me/n fast casting builds and saw discord ( [card]Discord[/card] ) in my list. i tried a build out in RA and AB and to my suprise, worked quite well except for some counters but otherwise, its fun to play!

profession: Me/N
attributes: Fast Casting 10 (9+1 <-headgear)
Inspiration Magic 7 (6+1)
Death Magic 12
Curses 7

equipment: 40/40 death magic stuff
nrgy armor
sup rune
rune of recovery
2 attunement runes

skills: [card]Auspicious Incantation[/card] [skill=text]Auspicious Incantation[/skill]

[card]Arcane Echo[/card] [skill=text]Arcane Echo[/skill]

[card]Discord[/card] [skill=text]Discord[/skill]

[card]Weaken Armor[/card] [skill=text]Weaken Armor[/skill]

[card]Parasitic Bond[/card] [skill=text]Parasitic Bond[/skill]

[card]Rip Enchantment[/card] [skill=text]Rip Enchantment[/skill]

Optional

[card]Resurrection Signet[/card] [skill=text]Resurrection Signet[/skill]

pretty dam easy, cast weaken armor and parastic bond and then use the first three in order then just keep casting dicord until hex/condition ends. use rip enchantment for removing enchantments and inflicting bleeding as an extra condition

variables: for the optional u may want to choose [skill=text]Soul Feast[/skill] or [skill=text]Taste of Pain[/skill]. for AB take out rez for: [skill=text]Enfeeble[/skill], another healing skill from death magic or [skill=text]Power Drain[/skill] for extra nrgy.

counters: anti cast spells, daze, interuppt

notes: hex/condition removal arent much of a problem bcuz of the fast recharge on weaken armor and parastic.

REMEMBER: discord requires the foe to hav acondition and has to be hexed at the same time for the spell to work. however after using arcane echo u can still cast discord and the spell will be copied.

credit: uuh myself, 2 empty bottles of heineken next to me.

i didnt drink the bottles just now there from a while ago ^_^

seems fun to use on PvE and on RA, but i can't see this replace the old Discord spike

no enfeeble?

You don't really have to do blow up damage if there's no healing going on.

Sir Pandra Pierva · Mar 21, 2008, 03:29 AM // 03:29

never hurts to blow up dmg anyway

A new build to try, thank you.

looks fun for PvE and RA :O
Now just echo Discord and you will have some of the most spammable defense piercing damage you have ever seen!

The only flaw?Energy management..
But thats an issue with EVERY build!

Sir Pandra Pierva · Mar 21, 2008, 05:18 PM // 17:18

yea.. thats kindof the point. use weaken armor then parasitic, then cast 1, 2 then 3 then spam the discords until the condition or hex ends

To people that underestimate how quickly you can spike with this:
Your forgetting fast casting

You can get the whole combo down in a matter a matter of seconds!

Is Weaken Armour better over Enfeeble for this?
I figured melee harassment would be more beneficial over lowering target AL because of Discord being armour ignoring.
I have not tried this though.

u r absolutely right, [skill=text]Enfeeble[/skill] is more efficient. i just use weaken armor bcuz of the area effect

Tearz1993 · Mar 22, 2008, 12:51 AM // 00:51

Mantra of Concentration instead of Rip Enchantment imo because you already have some invested in Inspiration because of Auspicious

Imagine a whole team of these guys -_- can anyone say free glad points?
