There is 1 way to counter this build.... Lingering Curse anyone?

All builds have counters. The question is not is there a counter, but how often does the enemy run that counter.

Would Sliver Armor work well with this or is that ranged only? I forget

Usually, 1 well of profane will screw most bonders over.

Well, in 4 matches today, I found someone who could strip enchantments in 3 of them. It was the same necro each time. The thing is, it doesn't matter one bit if I die doing this. As long as I keep going back, scooping up warriors, and harassing the commanders, I'm costing the Luxon offense time. If someone has to come off the line to kill me, that's more time they've lost.

Yes, there are a number of counters to it. Anything that strips enchantments means that the monk dies. However, too few Luxons actually bring targetted enchantment stripping. Well of the profane would work well against a SB monk, as long as there's a corpse near him. My build can not, under any circumstances, kill anything. I WANT the warriors to sit there, hitting me, and not dead, where they may respawn.

The fourth game, tere was one necro with well of the profane. But no corpses. I held all 8 warriors from the beginning of the match. At one point, I ALSO had 4 luxon players, way back near the orange command point, trying to kill me. I keep saying it, this is a delaying build, and every second that I can delay the Luxon offense, God's Vengeance nears completion.

If one luxon has to stand back and take the dedicatred job of killing me, that's one less Luxon on the offense, and that's worst-case scenario. If one luxon spends ALL their time chasing me and trying to keep me off their warriors, then that's all I can really expect. But thats one necro or mesmer that's not interrupting or stripping enchants on the front line. Chances are, before they realize what I'm doing, I'll round up one group of warriors. If they return to the front after killing me, I can take the warriors out of the fort and cause bigger delays.

Either way, one SB monk on the Kurzick side slows down the Luxons. At least by one player, and at best, by 8 hammer warriors (and remember, if the warriors are hitting me the whole match and the turtles are dead, the turtles don't respawn either.)

Why waste an elite when Gaze of Contempt works just as well?

It would work per say, but it would kill the warriors which underminds what the OP is trying to do.

In this case....anyone who does a lot of PvP.

Anyone who does a lot of PVP.... with a necro? That or mesmer, but all things considered, most classes can't really do much to something like this.

Of course, Aspenwood's a noobhouse anyway, so arguing build quality is less important than arguing how few people are going to bring anything against it. Hell, most people don't even bring anything to get rid of rangers that hammer the turtle with interrupts.
