Sin Basher:

"Coward!"
Hammer Bash
Flurry
Falling Spider
Horns of the Ox
Falling Lotus
Twisting Fangs
Ressurection Signet

You can use Hammer Bash to spike with your daggers, similar to BB, except horns of the ox giving you the extra 2 seconds. You can also spam coward to support your pressure and do the dagger spike.

Ritualist/Monk

12 Restoration
10 Channeling
8 Spawning

Offering of Spirit
Blind was Mingson
Spirit Transfer
Mend Body and Soul
Spirit Light
Holy Veil
Bloodsong
Rejuvenation

Make sure you bring a HSR Channeling Set for OoS. Cast BwM and HV before the match starts, obviously.

Empathic removal axe

Dismember
Body blow / agonizing chop/ axe rake
Disrupting chop (or another attack if you suck with dchop)
Bull's strike
Frenzy
Rush
Empathic removal

Kill stuff, use empathic removal to clear antimelee from you and any other frontliners, also save your monk from mesmers.
Surprisingly the energy management works out even when you have to use Empathic Removal on recharge or close.

For builds with more than one spirit, I have found the new Spirit Siphon to be much stronger than OOS. Cast it immediately after each spirit that you poop, and you'll be hard pressed to run out of energy. 3 heals are overkill; just Spirit Light and MBS are enough.

Hitting shit with faintheartedness and weakness on you too.
Anyway, empathic warr was "my idea", can't really claim anything in GW.

That's freaking hilarious. You just gotta love the "wiki or die" mentality people have, even when they are winning.

Yep, I got the build from your post, tried it and it works extremely well. More people in fact complimented me and/ or were glad I saved them, generally the ones who called me a wammo were the ones who lost due to things entirely unrelated to my build.

Made In Ascalon · Jul 18, 2009, 04:23 PM // 16:23

12 + 1 + 1 Death magic
10 + 1 Soul Reaping
8 Fire Magic

Discord
Putrid Bile
Vile Miasma
Glyph of Immolation
Rotting Flesh
Signet of Lost Souls
Consume Corpse
Res Sig

40/40 weapon set makes discord reasonably fast with a little luck. GoI applies burning before Discord hits for OmGz synergy. Disease wrecks teams with no monk but it's a gamble. Consume Corpse is mostly there to completely screw the occasional MM, though the heal + escape is useful sometimes.

Hahaha , what i love about that picture the most is that i recognise the name of every single person who flamed you and coincidently they are all horrible at PvP imo. People who are quick to judge a build with blatent disregard for its potential need to delete their GuildWiki bookmark. I get the same crap all the time when im running standard war bars with battle rage/power spike also ran empathic and even expel hexes (before the lingering nerf) and got barraged with insults /care. When you get 10+ wins with these builds consistently and have fun doing it, that's all that matters.

I've done that before. Your first time doing it is like your first time getting laid. Nothing else like it.

Needs more wild blow.

Right. It's not rare to see 2 or more melee guys bashing on a monk in RA (especially American districts). So it's actually rather easy to bull's multiple people at once.

Mystic Sweep -> Wild Blow
Rush -> Sprint

I've never really had many situations in RA where I wish I had Wild Blow over Mystic though.

Tender Care · Jul 25, 2009, 11:18 AM // 11:18

my favourite RA derv build:

Onslaught (E)
vital boon
pious restoration
banishing strike
victorious sweep
wild blow
wary stance
res signet

scythe mastery: 10 +1+1
wind prayer: 10+1
earth prayer: 5+1
tactic: 8

the combination Onslaught + vital boon+pious restoration grant good healing and up to 2 hex self removal that's quite good in pvp. Wary stance is against certain professions like assassin, dervishes and some warrior builds. It's also good against d-shot/savage shot for res; it's perfect against ritualist spirits attacks which can be fastly killed with banishing strike.

This build garantuees fast attacks and movement, self heal and self hex removal, protection against attacks skills and high dmg output.

Anyway the code is here: OgGlUhpqquWs2otFv53lL0NokXEA

have fun

Been observing some new builds in RA.

Necromancer/Assassin

12 Soul Reaping
12 Deadly Arts

Augury of Death
Dancing Daggers
Entangling Asp
Signet of Toxic Shock
Wail of Doom
Iron Palm
Resurrection Signet

Excellent build in conjunction with teammates. Try not to solo spike someone, as this build doesn't have enough pure damage to kill most targets.

Necromancer/Elementalist

12 Curses
11 Blood Magic
6 Earth Magic

Faintheartedness
Reckless Haste
Insidious Parasite
Defile Defenses
Enfeeble
Kinetic Armor
Cultist's Fervor
Resurrection Signet

Shrimz · Jul 27, 2009, 09:12 PM // 21:12

Got a good build to kill those pesky Guardian monks and Distortion Eles.

Flail
Hundred Blades
Sun And Moon Slash
Griffon's Sweep / Levithan's Sweep
Savage Slash
Bull's Strike
Enraging Charge
Res Sig

Run it with Shiro's blade (vampiric with +30hp and 15^50)
It also does quite some damage to people balling up.

Input?

Frenzy - Rush - Sever - Gash - Sun & Moon - 100 Blades - Bulls Strike - Res Sig.

You can't have it all, you need a deep wound in your build if you want to do some killing.
Flail/Enraging is only run on hammer warriors for obvious reasons.
100 Blades is big damage but doesn't allow much utility, i'd still prefer Crip Slash.

If you're building a sword bar, you will always need these skills: Frenzy/Primal rage, Rush/Battle rage, Sever/Cripslash, Gash, Bulls Strike, Sun & Moon.

I'm guessing all the hate was due more to your name than build.

When I used it nobody laughed and most of the feedback was positive, it won me several games and I ended up feeling like some kind of paladin by being the team's only healer and doing it successfully while still getting lots of kills, in hex heavy rounds I'd use it on recharge to keep the monk and/or other melees clean.
