Post Your Original AB Build!
So one of the reasons I find AB the funnest part of the game is that you can pick an obscure or uncommon elite, create a build around it, and make it work, in some cases work very well.
In light of this I decided to make this thread in the hope that people will contribute their original builds and ideas so that other veteran ABers like myself can try them out!
This is NOT a place to bash on other people's builds, please keep criticism constructive not abusive.
Ill get the ball rolling with my own that I developed. This is what I run on my Necromancer and have found to be quite effective.
[Parasitic Bond][Enfeeble][Deathly Chill][Discord][Rip Enchantment][Insidious Parasite][Consume Corpse][Natural Stride]
So basically its pretty self explanatory, parasitic and enfeeble to open so you fulfill the requirement for discord. Enchant removal, I've found is very useful in AB. This build is especially effective vs any kind of physicals, especially those DP wars and rangers that are a pain to kill sometimes. Natural Stride doubles as a speed boost and self defense. Insidious paired with enfeeble just destroys any physical character while Discord keeps the damage coming. The output is a little less on casters but still more than enough to kill most of them.
Anyway I look forward to seeing what you guys have come up with.

I'm not being sarcastic, I actually run that when I want to mess around. As far as originality goes, I haven't seen the exact build posted, I'm not copying anyone, so it's fairly original for me. AB is srs.

Fair enough i suppose
BTW if anybody has a working [Destructive was Glaive] build I'd like to see it, I can't get mine to work.

^ I like this one a lot (d-shot palm is always hilarious).
[build prof=Mo/D Pro=12+2 Div=8+1 Win=10][Zealous Benediction][Reversal of Fortune][Guardian][Shield of Absorption][Dismiss Condition][Holy Veil][Signet of Pious Restraint][Signet of Mystic Speed][/build]
Pretty fun too, you don't see signet or ZB monks at all anymore though
[build prof=A/W Dag=12+2 Cri=9+1 Sha=3 Tac=9][Hammer Bash][Falling Spider][Horns of the Ox][Falling Lotus Strike][Twisting Fangs][Flurry][Charge][Deaths Charge][/build]
Assassin with charge!, why not?

Who needs a cancel stance when you have healing breeze + healing hands, mirite?

meh, why [purge conditions] and [bull's strike] when you left out 1337 [mending] and [balthazar's spirit] to actually get some energy?

Because you don't need energy to spam Sever Artery --> Gash --> Final Thrust

Not too 'original', but good for AB...
Fun Palm Strike variant, effective for capping & ganking stray foes in AB.
[Palm Strike][Trampling Ox][Falling Lotus][Twisting Fangs][Death Blossom][Shadow Walk][Dash][Natural Healing]
Attack: 1, 2, 3, 4, switch to another shrine NPC & 1, 5, to kill the first NPC & soften the others; repeat. Shadow Walk + Dash = awesome mobility/defense at shrines & for catching runners; Natural Healing kicks ass.

Wammo ftw...
Battle Rage [E]
Dismember
Axe Rake
Disrupting Chop
Executioner’s Strike
Lion’s Comfort
Purge Signet
Holy Wrath
I have been looking for an appropriate post for this, thanks Darth.
It is a pretty straight forward build, it is unconventional and imo its also effective. I don’t use it much because ppl just can’t except odd builds. I’ll throw in the big tips for the newer ppl who may actually try this build, place Holy Wrath on two casters in your group, or really any two ppl in a pinch. Also as a reminder the signet can be used on allies, not just yourself. Forgive me o’ leet ones

Fine. I'll play along. I run this on my Paragon.
[awe][blazing spear]["go for the eyes"][shock]["can't touch this"][soldier's fury][conjure lightning]["fall back"]
It works, its fun, and no one expects to get their arse handed by a para.

It's not complete fail. Just a bit disagreeable so I would mod it up as following.

Would probably leave this more for TA/RA than AB.

This is what I would use for AB.
