do you like epic dps????

i like epic dps imho

pretty much a gimmick build, like all my builds it requires 8 human players, uses scrolls of rez, and is posted as if you had max title ranks but should work even if you don't!

http://www.pvxwiki.com/wiki/Build:P/...ed_PvE_Paragon w/ Ebon Battle Standard of Wisdom in blank slot.

Offense:
E/Me x2
Max E-Storage
rest can be whatever as long as it fits your skills
[Aura of Restoration][Channeling][Ether Renewal][Arcane Echo][Arcane Mimicry][Mind Wrack] on one, [Conjure Phantasm] on the other [Cry of Pain][Intensity]

E/N x2
Max E-Storage
rest can be whatever as long as it fits your skills
[Aura of Restoration][Channeling][Ether Renewal][Arcane Echo][Arcane Mimicry][Necrosis][Intensity]any 1 hex here

N/Me
Max Soul Reaping (very important!!)
[Channeling][Necrosis][Cry of Pain][Arcane Echo][Echo][Auspicious Incantation][Conjure Nightmare][Wastrels Worry]

How your offense works:
E/Me + E/N both use Aura of Restoration, Channeling, and Ether Renewal. Next, use Arcane Mimicry on the N/Me to get echo for all 4 of them. Next, you're going to apply hexes to your target, and Intensity, then quickly echo chain and triple Cry of Pain/Necrosis. With Intensity and Ebon Battle Standard of Wisdom halving your recharges occasionally, you will be be killing stuff faster than you can say "boo". Mind Wrack is important since not only is it a cover hex, but if it gets removed its only a 5s recharge, easy to keep up forever.

The N/Me is similar sorta. Channeling, use a high energy set when needed, AI + Conjure Nightmare to keep energy up, Echo Chain Cry of Pain/Necrosis (I prefer Cry of Pain tbh) and Wastrels Worry for bosses.

After a fight, let Arcane Mimicry etc recharge if needed. Rinse and repeat.

Weaknesses:
Do not run this in super high daze areas, etc. If you must, you can replace Necrosis on the necro with foul feast to try and counteract this. Be wary of places with anti-spell casting like [Shadow Form] or [Spell Breaker].

Or in areas with high enchant removal like the desert with tons of chilblains.

Echoing WW vs a boss wouldn't be necessary. It has a 1 second recharge and lasts just over 1 second.

And only bosses with Natural Resistance, like Proph bosses, and some special bosses (Duncan, Kuunavang, etc) have it.

tbh Enchant Removal doesn't really kill this build at all. Channeling/AoR come up fast enough, and with EBSoW Ether Renewal has a fairly good chance to be back up in 15s. Only way you're screwed is if they go poof during the echo chain.

The triple Necrosis chain is redundant especially if one is procced by EBSoW, so you can throw out one of the skills (AE or AM) for another hex, but I like 3 just in case if there's a diversion/lucky interrupt/etc

DPS= Damage per second

necrosis= 30 Dps

Cry of Pain= 8.3333 dps x3 from echos= 25 AoE DPS (this is not including the cast times on echo and arcane echo or CoP)

this is not epic DpS, this is epic spike damage. Epic dps comes from buffed physicals (moebius+DB+ conjure+ SoH= epic dps)

edit- mind wrack increases DpS, but it isn't aoe, and the foe your targeting will be dead soon enough anyways.

i think you missed the joke

o well

Cry of Pain does a bit more than that, because it can get its recharge halved very very often!

Yeah, it's not like every caster doesn't have like 3 interrupts on him ....

Considering the insanely long downtime of Mimicry - I'd go with something like [Energy Blast] instead.

Edit:
PvE skills! That's what I was looking for!
[Finish him] or [You Move Like A Dwarf]!
