Curse

Ok so here it is: I didn't see any rules or previous builds posted, so I'm assuming this is the correct place. I'm trying to sway away from predominately using one certain profession as it's distasteful in my opinion....So, comments? criticism? Thanks in advance (P.S. - This isn't used yet, it still is a rough draft that will be tweaked)

So, um, how do you kill stuff outside of spikes. Lack of enchantment removal means aegis > sin pressure combos and no real fire AoE means ward camping 24/7. Needs more mesmers and fire nukage imo.

And those paragon healers remind me of IWAY >.<

-changed along with build, so former strat. is altered-

update to conform to criticism, so what does everyone think about it now?

Div · Aug 10, 2007, 11:01 PM // 23:01

The E/N only has 7 skills at the time of my post.

The Me/N can become Me/Rt with flesh for hard rez.

Convert hexes weak on monk -> holy veil.

LoD needs PS, RC needs SB.

More inspiration (5-7 average).

No major energy storage. -35 health for 3 energy = bad.

2 monk backline hard without proper midline support.

Make build on gwshack and it'll be easier to see >.>

Good luck...

Id take SoA out on infuse for draw. Personally I dont think you need a 3-aegis chain, especially when one of them is on the rc, so I would take out aegis and deny on the rc for SoA/SH/Guardian (pick 2 of 3). Take the sup off the mind blast ele because it really isn't needed at all. Drop estorage by one on the SH ele to bring prot up to 9, getting a longer aegis.

Dpagona83 · Aug 13, 2007, 01:30 PM // 13:30

Alright, made a few more updates to the team thanks to the advice from Um Yeah and holymasamune. So, would this be able to take the hall? Or are there still flaws that can cause the downfall of the team?

blackest monk · Aug 14, 2007, 04:55 AM // 04:55

It needs alot of work if it wants to with at all. Halls for this build if not gonna happen atm. I would do:
the fire E/Mo may have some energy problems, i would drop the E/N for a DH paragon personally, have LoD drop heal seed and use heal touch. RC can drop deny hexes for reversal, and guardian for shielding hands. 5-6 inspiration works best with channeling on monks. The sin needs a rez sig(drop Flurry). Also I would drop the W/D for a Melandrus Derv with wearying strike. The drunken blow fear me spammer sucks. You would need to call when DH and Aegis are being casted, and shouldnt cast when one is up. Run adrenaline spikes.

Dpagona83 · Aug 14, 2007, 12:58 PM // 12:58

Alright, I'll make alterations on it. Calling is easy too, we're all connected with vent. Alright let's see how these changes look...

blackest monk · Aug 15, 2007, 03:28 AM // 03:28

drop warriors cunning and power attack on the war. Give him a rez sig, and irresistable blow

Dpagona83 · Aug 15, 2007, 01:04 PM // 13:04

Alright so after the warrior changes, I was thinking about totally dropping the assassin in favor of something else but I'm just not sure yet. I was thinking about an AoM Derv or another midline Paragon, or possibly a hex necro, but I was just wondering what anyone else thought I should replace the asn with? (if I even should replace it). thanks again, and in advance. I was thinking of switching in a choking gas ranger (instead of the sin), any thoughts on that?

blackest monk · Aug 15, 2007, 03:24 PM // 15:24

or keep the sin, but give him this build. [OwFjUhd8oOulAI37g9/8fIsJIA]
and u could drop the warrior and run 2 of these sins. i would also change the mes to a PD mes, and give him like 1-2 enchant removal skills

Dpagona83 · Aug 15, 2007, 03:42 PM // 15:42

I just have once concern with the sin, while it's definitley powerful offensively, it appears to have quite a high energy cost and recharge time...The whole chain without dash is 45energy...how am I supposed to pull that whole combo off and than be ready for the next spike if it's sooner than 20seconds?

blackest monk · Aug 15, 2007, 09:43 PM // 21:43

u dont use the whole chain. just 3 at a time.

Dpagona83 · Aug 16, 2007, 12:54 PM // 12:54

The thing is...I've got a huge warrior fan in my guild and I'd really like to let him incorporate his warrior into the team....Is the sin strong enough alone? Or knowing this situation, would it than be better to add another character, such as a commanding Paragon? Or another warrior?
