Default NEW Ursanway

Hello!

First of all, I never did Ursanway before myself.

Also, if you don't like Ursanway, don't yell at me, I think it was OP as well. This team build can maintain 4 Ursans, but it isn't as OP in my opinion.

Team Build: http://img692.imageshack.us/img692/9804/newursanway.png

Ursan (x4): OgUTcZLPGyoMWk2Q0JIAAAAAAA
Note: Summon Ruby Djinn can be replaced with any other Asuran Summon.

Oath Shot (x1): OggjchgqITVTfT+glTRb0gMTVG
Note: Really can use any build, as long as the Elite is Oath Shot.

HB (x1): OwYT043AZKuaj43RiIH8jAZQmA
Note: Build taken from previous Ursanway.

LoD (x1): OwUT04nBXquaj43Z6LHcTLIQmA
Note: Build taken from previous Ursanway.

Imbagon (x1): OQGjUqmIKTBZWYxgAhXF7Ypbub
Note: Build taken from previous Ursanway.

The Ursans use pets and Asuran Summons because they are among the only things that last into the Form change.

Use the Asuran Summon then Ursan, and when Ursan expires, use Auspicious Incantation --> Arcane Mimicry (on the Oath Shot). Then use Oath Shot on any enemy (preferably not Warriors, Rangers, etc. who have blocking capabilities potentially).

At this point Ursan is recharged. Recast the Asuran Summon and use Ursan. By the time Ursan is done, your energy will be at max again.

Since your armor level, health, and attributes don't matter during Ursan, players can use full Radiant armor and 3 Attunement runes, or a +15 energy staff to switch to, etc. instead of bringing Auspicious.

Ursans must be Rangers to have Expertise for Oath Shot, and must have a bow.

Was messing around and thought of this. Let me know what you think (please don't yell at me )!

Arcane Mimicry. Check the image. R/Rt(#5) has Oath Shot.

I can't be bothered to play the build.

It's always nice to see an old team build find new life, but I think you are going to have a hard time getting people interested.
Plus it's all over if the Oath Shot is blocked for any reason or the Oath Shooter gets blind/hexxed.

Nice way to play off the mechanics of it though.

I saw this build (really close to it) on PvX some time after Ursan nerf. Ursan will not become meta again because of the coordination it takes to run it (for PUGs) and elite guilds won't use it because there are better builds.

Nice try though.

Pretty much that. This and an Assassin's Promise version was thought up hours after the ursan nerf. Ursan will never return because it is slow, inefficient, and mindlessly boring.

Ursan was a way for people who did not know hot to play the game to accomplish high-end pve goals.

Lets NOT bring it back in any way, kthx.

lol ursan

Did the old team build ever have an imbagon? If not, I figure you could just replace it with some kind of Anthem of Guidance paragon, to make sure the frontliners actually hit with their Oath Shot.

Maybe I missed the sarcasm here, but doesnt that include every abusive gimmick, that's been dominating the high-end PvE pretty much since the beginning?

Absolutely.
Example:
I'm in a DoAsc guild. Gem/armbrace prices have plummeted since DwG was introduced to the PuG community.

I would love to see it nerfed/completely removed from the game.

I would love to see Shadow Form nerfed/completely removed from the game. If there were half as many DoAscers as there are DwGers, you'd be crying over brace prices. The Shadowform nerf did pretty much bugger all to it's effectiveness. sigh.

sigh, sad but true, but the thing is with the state of this game now its likely never going to happen.
I have accepted this and even if by any chance its does get nerfed we will see something insanely buffed.

hopefully with the new profession buffs that come up they'll allow everyone to be able to enjoy all the "elite" areas without crazy specific team builds.
