It works very well. I was thinking about putting Wielder's Boon in there for a quicker heal, but after getting partnered with a Monk, I saw just how powerful Channeled Strike could be on this template.

(Also posted a little something I needed help with a while back, I'm not sure if it got deleted or something.)

Use [Lightning Reflexes] to deter melee pressure or get Rez off against Rangers. Poison, Bleed, Burn, Wound, and otherwise kill shit. Lather, rinse, repeat. Enjoy before inevitable ED nerf.

How would this be more effective than a chucker with pet and [rampage as one], or even a W/P chucker? Not that it matters anymore though.

Hmmm, I dunno, not having to lose 2 slots to Charm and Comfort for one. WAY less dependent on energy for another. Far as W/P goes, no poison (extra degen pressure, easy to keep Deep Wound covered just by autoattacking), no defense, Remedy Signet doesn't come close to Antidote Signet.

But, like you said, it is milk under the bridge now anyway. Gonna work on revising it with [cruel spear] or [stunning strike] and throw in [tiger's fury] for IAS.

seeking advice on R/A for RA....since there are no R/A builds on wiki for RA, I am currently using this:

[apply poison][lightning reflexes][jagged strike][temple strike][wild strike][death blossom][troll unguent][resurrection signet]

Expertise: 9+2+1
Wilderness Survival: 9
Dagger Mastery: 12

Radiant, Attunements and a Major Vigor

Claws of the Broodmother (cheap and ugly, but for the poison), customized

Lots of fun to play, after the lead attack, two choices for off-hand, then finish with death blossom. I carry a bow to start, tab around, when i find the target use troll and switch to daggers before going in, then lightning reflexes and start the attack chain.

Any constructive advice? I typically play a standard ranger bar, but this is a lot of fun just to switch things up a bit (e.g. R/D escape scythe, R/P beastmaster, etc.)

Expertise 9+1+1 (majors aren't very good for you, plus Temple will cost 8 here)

Dagger 12

Then the rest in WS+1

as far as the rest, yeah, that looks pretty common for that Temple Strike R/A build. It's not a very effective build tbh though.

this was a true joy

Ketty Kat · Dec 16, 2008, 02:08 AM // 02:08

Mark of Instability
Golden Fox Strike
Fox Fangs
Vampiric Assault
Falling Lotus
Signet of Judgement
Falling Spider
Iron Palm (or res sig if you feel like being nice)

Attributes:
Dagger Mastery 10 + 2
Critical Strikes 11 + 1 + 2

Weapon doesn't really matter, Claws of the Broodmother works pretty good.
Chain skills 1-8 at the monk, or any other casters.

-Pluto- · Dec 16, 2008, 08:16 AM // 08:16

[dismember][executioner's strike][disrupting chop][rush][frenzy][mark of insecurity][bull's strike][resurrection signet]

It really doesn't matter how much you put into deadly arts. Its duration exceeds its recharge at 5 spec.

Actually, mark of insecurity is pretty much broken on any class.

MercenaryKnight · Dec 16, 2008, 11:13 PM // 23:13

Yeah I am sleep deprived and have been sick for a week. Guess my brain has suffered lol. Nevermind about the rampage as one stuff but yeah mark of insecurity is overpowered.

I have enjoyed running the above build.

Tyla · Dec 16, 2008, 11:35 PM // 23:35

Am I missing something here? Rampage as One isn't a stance.

I'm gonna go out on a limb and guess he means [escape].

[DE] · Dec 20, 2008, 06:39 AM // 06:39

[frenzy][bull's strike][sever artery][gash][sun and moon slash][hundred blades][rush][Resurrection signet]

[bull's strike] can be replaced with [conjure lightning] / [conjure flame] / [conjure frost] for bigger domoge - but warrior bars just seem empty without bull's.

kvndoom · Dec 20, 2008, 04:40 PM // 16:40

Lag was too bad to accomplish anything, but I tried this with moderate success today:

13 Critical
12 Dagger
8? (don't feel like logging back in) Channeling

[sight beyond sight][weapon of aggression][palm strike][trampling ox][twisting fangs][horns of the ox][dash][resurrection signet]

Gives you a quick IAS boost when you need it, that doesn't cancel your IMS, and can you can nullify blindness to get your combos in.

Alternately you can put in [critical defenses] somewhere for a little survivability.

If I play it again though, I'll probably sub [death blossom] for Horns, because Horns is too conditional and the recharge is too long. Blossom works so much better for spirit shitters anyway.

Shadow Slave · Dec 21, 2008, 07:04 PM // 19:04

Is being able to maintain dash really necessary when your bar consists of spammable cripple and 2 kds?

^ Why not just [skill] Assassin's Remedy [/skill] and your pick of IAS from the Warrior line?

Also, 3 Duals ..?

Like I said, it was just something I threw together and didn't play much because the lag was (is?) almost unbearable. I did mess around with [frenzy] and some other changes this morning, though I forget what it was now. Honestly I'm finding myself not liking it as much as [grenth's grasp], now that the novelty has worn off.

Krill · Dec 22, 2008, 03:00 AM // 03:00

Weapon of Aggression is way to expensive unless you have some energy management, only makes sense on those cheesy SS rits.

[build=OwFi0xjMVBdFa8hwEUgVMBJAA]

[build=Owpjoqd8ISCQEfHMdP8PabefCAA]

Last slot is sorta whatever, be retarded like everyone else.

deluxe · Dec 22, 2008, 05:30 AM // 05:30

In current RA "palmstrikemeta" I advise to bring [[balanced stance] over [[disciplined stance]
My current bar: [word of healing][patient spirit][dismiss condition][guardian][vigorous spirit][spotless mind][balanced stance][holy veil]
Have fun laughing at all the mindless palmstrikers trying a chain with kd's on your ass.

ensoriki · Dec 22, 2008, 07:06 PM // 19:06

[skill]Disrupting stab[/skill][skill]exhausting assault[/skill][skill]Moebius Strike[/skill][skill]critical strike[/skill][skill]wild blow[/skill][skill]distracting blow[/skill][skill]dash[/skill]
Dagger mastery 12+1
Critical strikes 12 +1

Zealous Daggers of fortitude
Vampiric daggers of fortitude
Ebon Daggers of fortitude >.>

Tried replacing moebius with palm.... I now had cripple and was more flexible in how to start my combo, since I could start mid way for just damage (since stab and assault have no + damage) and what not....but moebius would recharge almost everything, and it was nice to have Wild blow ready when somebody put their stance up late.

Since well Disrupting chop is readily available it's nice to interrupt the Palm'ers...but I have no condition removal T_T....
Meeting a warrior SUCKS...since well you have some pretty low damage output for a sin, the Palm strike think helps vs Warriors a lot since you have cripple and armor ignoring damage.
Then you just have to D-blow their main attacks, and D-stab Exhaust the rest.. Wild blow the stances.

Lots of fun was had though....this build was just an edit of 1 yanman posted a long time ago >.>

Master Ketsu · Dec 23, 2008, 03:32 AM // 03:32

Here's an easy and somewhat fun build to run now that the aftercast bug has been fixed on wastrels collapse:

[resurrection signet][restful breeze][Mark of Instability][wastrel's collapse][falling lotus strike][twisting fangs][falling spider][blades of steel]

Icy dags for warriors, otherwise use vampiric with a sundering offhand.

FYI I find the best way to score kills with this build is to treat MoI as an interrupt. Use MoI as they are using a skill and then hit them with WC during the aftercast of their skill to start your combo.
