hmm i might try that out some time. would be a problem with the 2 energy regen only but essence bond + balth spirit only might take care of it. there is always the problem of regen so it would probably be easier as 55 r/mo tank. Join me next week when i solve the mystery of the 55 warrior and ranger and when ANet makes Protective Spirit cost 25 energy and 8 second cast time!

They won't nerf protective spirit.
Atleast they suretenly shouldn't. This way it makes it unusuable for PvP and for normal PvE build's aswel. There are way easier ways to nerf the invinci monk.

And TBH i've tried my 55 hp MO. DUnno what was really bettter. Sure he got more healing and all. But my spellbreaker(obsidian flesh) was atleast longer

Aye I wanted to ask a question. I have this build now, etc.etc. and all the items, and went to test it on some Minos. Aren't they supposed to be dmg'ing them selves or is Crystal Wave the only attack you do back? Because I was thinking it would be a bit faster then it was, or am I just wrong?

Cherno · Feb 02, 2006, 04:28 PM // 16:28

You are "supposed" to take an SS Necro or other dmg dealer with you.

The purpose a 55 build like this is to tank and hold the enemies back while the rest of you party kills them off.
Having crystal wave is just a nice way to be able to do dmg yourself to help speed things up.

Neriandal Freit · Feb 02, 2006, 05:04 PM // 17:04

Ah, okers, gotcha. Sounds spiffy dodah to me then lol. thanka

Undead Silverhawk · Feb 02, 2006, 05:05 PM // 17:05

For Mino's Just take Obsidian Flesh/Crystal Wave out.
And go Inferno FlameBurst. OR Eq+As

Neriandal Freit · Feb 02, 2006, 05:10 PM // 17:10

Naw I wouldn't farm Mino's with this build, I'd do the Mist Form build over this one for them.

They aren't worthy

i actually though of this e/mo build myself. and i thought i was all clever coz i hadnt seen any1 else using it. oh well...
also u can easily kill nightmares with just a wand. and if u have obsidian flesh on its not a problem at all. but i still hate coldfires...
the ehco mistform is gd, but serpent's quickness - mistform sounds very intresting... ill have to try it.

Neriandal Freit · Feb 05, 2006, 02:16 PM // 14:16

Ok, so what is everyones thoughts about the Darkness problem? I tried it once and I was pounded by them all the sudden like and I'm just wondering what everyone does to prevent them from taking you down

Cyberstar · Feb 05, 2006, 06:16 PM // 18:16

i had some probs with graspings aswell, untill i figured what it was that kills me. they are able to use distracting blow and when ur really unlucky they interrupt ur HB and/or PS, no need to tell ya what happens then

anywayz, i brought whirlwind in my last free slot, gives them a nice KD so u can cast hb/ps without interupt

Neriandal Freit · Feb 05, 2006, 07:54 PM // 19:54

Whirlwind...hmm..yes....whirlwind...

I've been working with this build for a long time now, and even with restoration aura on me I could't tank 10 < smites. This has been borthering me alot because I also seem to hear this "Wtf crappy ele, I'll never go with you again" dont ask why some people are like this but well, it pissed me off.

What i seemed to need was a fast renewable spell which I could spam in order to keep myself alive, and I came up with Devine Boon. It works fenominal, I can spam it every second + it adds a healing bonus every time i renew breeze and spirit. Don't know if it's just me having problems tanking many smites but if you do, try this at really great

cruger · Feb 08, 2006, 10:25 PM // 22:25

with aura of restoration, i can keep myself alive by just spamming PS and HB, with gd timing u can cast them with 5 sec intervals. which keeps u alive just fine,

Neriandal Freit · Feb 08, 2006, 10:42 PM // 22:42

Just wanting to let everyone know I am selling the Fiery Flame Spitting Axe (20% Mod already on it) and the Grim Cesta together for 45k B/O

Cyberstar · Feb 09, 2006, 07:27 AM // 07:27

hmm i never tried aura of restoration, but even without i can keep myself alive perfectly well.

cruger u said u can spam HB & PS every 5 sec, but i cant c why u should want that? HB last 10 sec and PS (with the 8 skills i have in prot) 15 sec + i use zelaeus flame spitter of enchanting (20%) which makes hb last even 12 sec and ps 18 sec.

Because with Aura of Restoration on you, you can spam them in order to gain extra health. This can be very usefull when tanking alot of smties etc.

cruger, maybe just my bad timing then :P

Reese · Feb 09, 2006, 08:44 PM // 20:44

I have a 55 e/mo20, but instead i use water magic, skills are

balthazars sprit
essence bond
mending
healing breeze
protective spirit
ice spike
frozen burst
deep freeze

will this work for the uw 55?

Neriandal Freit · Feb 09, 2006, 08:56 PM // 20:56

Why not go try it?

yes with aura of restoration u gain extra health, but im saying with the right timing off skills u have no need of it. atleast i never felt a need for extra health next that what i gain from mending+HB and sometimes orison of healing (note : i only use orison when tanking large groups and even then i not always have to use it)

To reese, yeah it will work since any character with 55hp+ps combo works, but u wanne drop atleast 1 of ur water magic speel for either obsidian flesh or spellbreaker, for both dying nightmares as colds.
are u planning to solo with that build?? cuz otherwise i would abandon offensive magic @ all and just take ss/sm necro with u to kill while u tank

Francis Crawford · Feb 12, 2006, 07:43 AM // 07:43

Something obvious I'm not getting here (but then, I've never been to the UW) -- should the necro have a 55 build also? Or is there a simple strategy to keep all the aggro on the 55 player?
