Default What is the stupidest build you have ever seen?

In any form of PvP. It can be team builds or single builds.

A Beast Mastery build I just saw.... on an E/R... with all Ranger skills.

It was so horrid, it's the first time I've ever announced in Local chat to indicate that it was horrid after killing him, I said, "wow, I'm sorry, but that build is absolutely horrid."

I attacked him with my Dervish, and with no Blinding or anything to stop him from attacking or doing damage he did a whopping 12 dmg to me by the time I killed him - I just ignored him the rest of the game cause he was just that... completely ignorable.

I also can't for the life of me figure out why the hell he'd do an E/R for it without the use of any Elementalist skills.

Let's see, from my screenshots collection...

- Warrior with air attunement, I don't know what else was on his bar, but if he needed air attunement to cast it, it couldn't possibly be good.
- Warrior that tried to kill me with flare spam, which isn't quite as bad as...
- Warrior that tried to kill me with Word of Censure spam.
- Ranger with Meteor Shower, which isn't quite as bad as...
- Ranger with Rodgort's Invocation.
- Necro with glad's defense.
- Degen ranger packing conjure phantasm.
- A real, authentic hamstorm warrior. Yes, really.
- Warrior with Protective Spirit.
- Elementalist beastmaster. With a bow.
- Ranger minion masters. What's worse is that I've seen several of those in AB.
- Monks that bring flare. What's worse is that I've seen several of those in AB.

And of course, the winner....


Worst team build? The headbutt spike that got posted in the HA forums a while ago was pretty bad.

Anything with Mending. Did see a mo/me in RA use ether feast and *gasp* rebirth the other day. Well, make that tried to use ether feast and rebirth. E-surge/Starburst/Searing Flames warriors, MM monk, and the list can go on and on....

Random Arenas excells in the most ridiculus builds ever made, you wont see such gems in gvg. Nothing beats Warrior/Mesmer casting backfire and empathy. The guy had 12 in domination as well. I lol'd

team builds? i vote for "You Got Headbutted", posted some time ago in HA section. Sadly, its brilliant creator deleted it

I'd disagree. Check the "Why kurzick loses" thread in the AB forums, you see that kind of crap on a regular basis. Most of my screens of mind-blowingly awful builds are from AB.

I mean, seriously....

(cast on a monk!)

How do you beat that?

Well actually, I've seen assassins use that skill well, he may have used sig of malice, or he could have been like the A/E signet spiker only using A/Me. SO Sig of midnight on sin, is pretty nice.

the whole Geomancer thing in RA is rather stupid, only a total noob would fall for sandstorm, and once they learn to dodge that, these Geomance have very little offence.

And lets not forget 55 monks in PvP (go back to farming you loser 55s)

And you can use Mantra of Inscriptions with the signets and save your energy because you dont have to use blinding surge - its a good build.

The worst thing i had to play with for a long time was a smite Monk in RA with Flare and Firestorm - and the problem was the first decent team we encounter was after the 9th win ... - i tried to eat my keyboard!

The Mo/E with ether prodigy, heal party and Blinding Flash has to take a high spot.
Also, the E/W with decapitate is quite genius. Losing 60 energy is nothing compared to a critical hit AND bonus dmg.
R/E with flare, firestorm and Liquid Flame
