More Expose Defenses + Mending Touch and less Restul Breeze imo. Or Feigned Neutrality.

Restul Breeze won't save you from a spike and with 2 monks you should have some healing to get your health back up. Feigned would save you from a spike and Mending Touch could get rid of DW, Blind and Cripple.

With 2 Hydros and Dash, i'd drop Siphon Speed for Expose Defenses.

Sin pressure works well though, Moebius sins are quite good, and Assault Enchantment is really nice if you have 2-3 sins training a target. I'd give the Assault Enchant guy 2 independant combos and drop impale so he can use Assault more easily and more often, something like Disrupting Stab-Exhausting Assault and BLS-Horns.

I also edited my first hydro to handle spikes a bit better...

Not very good. You have a monk with 2 elites, a generally bad character (the rit), and poor skill choices (discharge enchantment/enchanted haste/ etc.)

I looked through a lot of these builds last night and was still disappointed. I think that I will need 1 more go through later tonight to decide what to do. There is not a single build that I think is really worth the 1st prize so I may end up giving out 3 2nd place instead or something.

Supposed to be Dwayna's Kiss, my bad.

Personal bias = you have no point.

Quote:

discharge enchantment

Wait, you're serious? That was chosen becuase, combined with MoR + many hexes on pretty much all targets anyway it recharges after four seconds. How many enchantment removals do that?

Quote:

enchanted haste

Chosen to make healing prayers cast extremely quickly, making it extremely hard to interrupt. An experimentational idea, ofcourse, but did you just want us to post unoriginal ones?

Probably because you're biased and not as good as you think you are, IMHO.
But...thanks for the advice? Especially since it had nothing to do with the actual build idea.

LOL K, what is that phrase? The pot calling the kettle black?

You chose enchanted haste to make your healing spell cast faster, yet that is your dervish's run skill? Yea I know you meant healers boon but it still sucks as a run skill. 13 seconds out of 25 and you take faithful intervention to meet the conditional requirement...... or 10 out of 20 unconditionally and do added dmg with harriers haste? I would take lyssa's haste before enchanted haste too.

That is just one example of poor skill choices in your mediocre build. There is nothing wrong with being experimental if the reasoning is solid. Your build is sloppy and not well thought out. You have a lack of snare and the only one is also on the person that would probably be running.... not very good for the type of maps in halls.

I like the general idea of a hex pressure build with spike potential but I don't think the rit or paragon characters are strong at all. The rit has an okay spike , but it requires your elite and mighty was verizun? Then it craps out 2 pressure spirits and gives a monk 150+ HP. There are a lot better things you could put in this slot even if you ran another rit. Keep thinking that is good if you want but you aren't winning anything from me.

I decided on prizes. Unless I made some great oversight I am not going to change my opinion but I will give my reasoning behind choosing or not choosing you.

Winner 10K + gold inscribeables/50 hunters ale/ or something - Warskull

2nd 5K - wolfy3455 and Vermillion

3rd 2K - B B / qvtkc / vapor311

You have approximately 2 weeks to claim prizes. Try to contact me in game but if I don't respond I am probably GVGing or AFK. I only log in a few hours late American time to GVG usually, so if you aren't able to reach me send me a PM here with an exact time you will be on and I will meet you.

If you didn't win, thanks for entering anyhow. If you whined about 6v6 but didn't have the cojones to post a build thanks for helping to prove my point. If tombs goes back to 8v8 and I do another contest in the future, I will save up to have 100K as top prize.
