Default "Stupidest Builds All-Stars" Pick-Up

Event starts Aug. 29 at 11PM GMT (7PM US Eastern)

Send whispers to Maximum Violence for guest invites. Captain selection beings at 11:10PM GMT


So I was reflecting on the Stupidest Builds Ever thread, which is now on its 34th page, and I had a thought: Let's have a real match with this stuff. I've decided I want to organize what I'm dubbing the "Stupidest Build All-Stars" event, a pick-up (or series of pick-ups) pitting eight terrible skill bars against eight more terrible skill bars in the ultimate showdown.

Details on the huge number of builds you can run are in the next post, but I'll accept new submissions here if you can post a screenshot of someone running something terrible! Only builds that have been seen in the wild are allowed here, so no Prophecies Box Hamstorm or made-up stuff.

Event format:

When all prospective players have showed up, two team captains will be chosen at random. Each captain will alternate picking players to fill up their roster until all players are exhausted.

Each round, the captains will choose 7 other players for their team, and play a scrimmage.

After the round, all players (including those that didn't play) have the opportunity to select a different build.

If a player is not selected for a round, they are guaranteed a spot in the next round.

Number of rounds TBD, if a number is even set. Might just keep going until too many people lose interest.

You may select a build using one of two options!

Option 1: Choose from the list of complete builds that have been spotted in the wild! If a build does not have its class specified, it can be either any possible primary/secondary combination. If it doesn't contain a full skill list, you can fill in the blanks with whatever you want. If a build does not have attributes specified, you may decide them, but there is a minimum 7 TOTAL point allocation for any ability on the bar!

For bars without resurrection skills, you may swap one skill of your choosing out for a resurrect. However, you may not modify your attributes to add rez sig. In other words, if the inclusion of a resurrect bumps the only skill that used an attribute off of your bar, you must still allocate a total of 7 points to that attribute.


Option 2: Below the premade list is a list of class/skill combos that have been seen in the wild, as well as some restrictions to make sure the build you create from it maintains its purpose!

To ensure consistent low quality, non-premade builds are subject to the following restrictions:
- You may not equip Light of Deliverance, Shield of Deflection, Restore Condition, Blinding Surge, Black Lotus Strike, Eviscerate, Natural Stride, Enraging Charge, Migraine, Bull's Charge, Battle Rage, Agonizing Chop, or Bull's Strike if those respective skills are from your primary profession.
- You may not equip Recall or Stonefist Insignia.
- You may equip no more than one of the following skills: Diversion, Shame, Mantra of Recovery, Power Leak, Signet of Humility. If you equip Backfire and Empathy, you may equip an additional skill from that list.
- You may equip no more than two of the following skills: Guardian, Spirit Bond, Protective Spirit, Shielding Hands, Dismiss Condition, Shield of Absorption, Holy Veil. If you equip Healing Breeze and have at least 7 base attribute points in Healing Prayers, you may equip a third skill from that list.
- Warriors with an attack speed increase must also include one of the following skills: Shield Bash, Riposte, Deadly Riposte, Healing Breeze, Vigorous Spirit, Live Vicariously, Mending, or any stance that blocks attacks.
- Rangers are limited to one interrupting attack skill. If your secondary has abilities capable of interrupting, however, you may use them!

MoR Rezmer, hell yeah. (#20)

Unless thats too impractical, in which case the animate flesh golem sword war is good too. (#34)

Time-wise, I'm available most of the day. Evenings (EST) are most likely.

I can't make it on the date you said, but don't bother trying to coordinate around me, I can't really know when I'll be on

New partial templates added! Make your own awful build, some restrictions may apply. Additional restrictions might be imposed if I deem the resulting innovations too good.

I am SO in on this! Gotta run to work right now, but I'll read this later. Will someone be recording this on FRAPS too? Think of the children!

PS, I know what I wanna run. See avatar. The mighty Vital Blessing + Signet of Stamina Infuser! Red bars go WAY up!
__________________________

I'll have to tweak the numbers when I'm actually at home in front of the screen. But I'm thinking along these lines:

14 strength
12 protection
leftover in healing

Vital Blessing
Signet of Stamina
Endure Pain
Infuse Health
Defy Pain
Lion's Comfort
Signet of Rejuvenation (energy management!)
Rebirth

Oh, and I'm going to QQ if nobody on my team is packing Symbiosis.

Any weeknight except Tuesday should be good for me. 5-9 PM EST. Can stay up later if we have a solid date.

The MoR rezmer almost made me piss myself. Thanks guys.
