Wow, the forum ate my post. -.-

Anyways, I think the build as a whole works, but the skills/att spreads could use some work.

Dslasher: Conjure is bad, and enraging charge isn't reliable enough as a cancel. I'd take Prot Strike and Rush there.

Hammer: Either Fierce or Heavy would be sufficient. I'd take Bull's Strike in place of one of them.

MoR Dom: I don't know how essential a third Aegis is. Personally, I'd consider a more "normal" MoR bar.

Esurge Dom: 14 Domination Magic is the breakpoint for -8 energy on Surge and Burn. I'd also switch drain and pdrain for Shatter and GoLE.

LoD: RoF and Spirit Bond probably > Words + Light - LoD can fill in for both of those heals. Sup rune is bad. Breakpoint for Aegis is 9s at 9 Prot, so you can safely run 12+1+1 Heal, 10+1 DF, 8+1 Prot.

Divert: Breakpoint for 11s Aegis is at 14 Prot.

Runner: 6 Air is more than enough for Storm Djinn's. Restful Breeze is pretty bad.

Assassin: I'd consider running 6+1 Shadow 12+1 Dagger 11+1+1 Crit - you have AoD to save your ass, so losing 1 second on Feigned is bearable. The breakpoint for 8s Feigned is at 9 Shadow Arts.

Yeah, not a bad build overall. Lemming covered most of it, basically the only MAJOR things I'd change would be the Conjure Flame and the Att spreads on a couple of classes. The AoD is an interesting choice, since Shadow Prison is so good at the moment, but AoD can still be used well.

Thomas.knbk · Apr 05, 2007, 02:06 PM // 14:06

I agree with Lemming. Drop Conjure and Enraging. You won't need Enraging anyway. Dslash is more than enough adrenaline. Plus Rush will be charged really quick with Dslash.
The mesmers are perfect. I would personally take the third aegis. Two aegisses, one on an LoD without maxed out prot, will give you 24/32 seconds covered, a third makes it permanent.
The only thing I'm not sure about is the sin. Recall does the same as AoD on a split only better, and is non-elite (allowing you to take Shadow Prison or Moebius)

Conjure is in to maxime the damage done with sun and moon slash, Rush can be swapped for enraging, but i still think conjure is better then protective strike, personally i'm not a great fan of protective strike unless combined with hammers for quick strikes. A sword strikes quick enough so i think either change with bull's strike or let conjure stay.

The hammer's damage on low class armours is like this:
~40,~90,~60,~50. (minimum damage)
At first the hammer was meant as a sort of unexpecting kd'er, at first i took out flail/death's charge and changed it with shadow walk because of faster recharge then death's charge. With that it was an excellent kd'er for countering them monks/spikers.
Actually i think, the whole hammer build is fine now.

The third Aegis is actually vital to complete the whole aegis-chain.

The monks will definatly be changed as you guys posted, reasons are that i suck at monking aswell as developing monk builds.

Personally i always play the sin, becuase i understand the build. when you're doing split first you use AoD on the first ranger/foe (foe=other player from other team) then shadowy and start attacking, probably he'll die fast and some teammates of him will try to aid him. Then you run away like hell back your base and when they're attack by outher ranger+footmen you take of AoD, which beams you back to their base and leaves them alone with the ranger/footmen trying to find you, while you're back slashing their base apart.

The following updates have been made, without reading this post first=

-Dslash changed to shock axe
W/E: strenght:10+1, axe:11+1+1, tactics:10+1
shock, frenzy, Eviscerate, axe rake, executioners strike, rush, healing signet, resurrection signet.
(personally i'de take out the healing signet and replace it with "To the limit!" for adrenaline management)

-hammer switched to Steady stance scyther
W/D: strenght:10+1, tactics:10+1+3, scythe:11
Steady stance, drunken blow, desperation blow, chilling victory, rush,"fear me", healing signet, resurrection signet.

MoH changed to another E-surge combined with Aegis and draw conditions.

Dh monk changed to Bl monk, same skills just a different elite.

-> Now i'm gonna work on it again and see if i can ultimate the attribute points on which i seem to have difficulties with.
-> Thank you guys for comments, especially from EX

Conjure got a big buff. Definitely keep it.
