PLEASE comment this i was thinking about running it but i need some more opinions



the life attunement/bond is OBVIOUSLY for ghost during altar matches

the necros spam their hexes, ulcerous/minority on paragons, and if no paragons ulcerous lungs is still aoe degen and worth using imo. derv pressures or any balled up groups, removing enchantments as needed.

considering that anything that makes it to halls is pretty much the crappy paragon build you could easily hold against them as they have little offense and you have a pretty good offense which means good defense.

If you want someone to run that spoil victor necro I would do it if I am offline. I am r7 and I didn't get even one fame from stupid searing flames or those paragon builds.

On the mark necro, you dont need that much in WOStability if you're using it for altar matches. I think the mesmer needs a res, and web of disruption could be replaced by a better interrupt.

I'd love to run any of these but the glimmer monk, I'll probably be on saturday so pm me ~8 (GMT-7), R6 btw

yeah i just thought about the earth magic issue... but then again, theres a lot of thumpers around, would have to rethink...


web of disruption can be good though, just because its another interrupt when its removed, playing a monk ive had it hurt me, just because the divert or RC or whatever interrupts me when its removed...

cry of frustration would be good for the aoe interrupt though...

The Dervish could use Rending Sweep since you have a lot of hexes, so he can remove enchants even when the avatar is down. Harrier's Grasp is also very useful on a Grenth Dervish.

I tried running something like this earlier today, it didn't work too well:

- Needs more melee shutdown, like Ward Against Foes instead of Ulcerous Lungs (which is currently bugged, there's no AoE effect), and Reckless Haste instead of Faintheartness on the RM Necro.

- Migraine seemed...weak. It doesn't seem to be able to apply the same kind of pressure a PD Mes (with Diversion, Blackout, etc) can. Maybe even try a Panic Mes?

- Some off-Monks support would be nice, like a second Shield of Absorption instead of Mark of Subversion on the SV Necro.

All in all, it's a decent build, those are just some observations from running it in practice.

Drop suffering for reckless haste, not faintheartedness.

I second your motion that this migraine mesmer is weak, but I have a different solution. Fit in mantra of persistance to the migraine mesmer and now you're cooking as you can covered migraine on two casters at once to slow down their reactions (and perhaps interrupt a few key things). Raise inspiration and lower illusion. Signet of disruption >> power return in this build for it's ability to interrupt the ghostly. To the OP: I'm wondering how this mesmer builds adrenaline for song of concentration? With a furious spear?

No, the healer's bar is simply messed up. Orison is garbage. Having it on a bar with glimmer of light is inexcusable. I would dump orison for a condition removal and dump healing touch for a non-elite hex removal like holy veil or purge signet (in case they sig of humility your divert hexes monk).

I think mark of subversion is a good skill in this build.




Congrats to the OP on making what I view as a solid concept for an HA build. I think if you make these 5 skill modifications I suggest (in addition to the ward against foes, rocks relic maps, instead of ulcerous lungs as Sab suggested) that you will find yourself with a build you like even better.

Having 3 points in healing and bringing GoH to heal for what? 30? pointless. Bring sig of devotion instead...even mantra of flame these days.
