Aegis Should be up at all times, Holy Veil is to remove hexes, Mend Condition is to remove conditions. Drain echantment is for (some) energy management and to remove RoF and PS. The ranger is there to spread conditions and to cripple so foes cant run away. Fs is up to keep the dead, dead.

How are you going to solve the recharge problem with WoC, if target foe is below 33% hp?

Kewl Runner · Jul 08, 2006, 12:32 PM // 12:32

3 cast WoC when the other 2 cast banish.

Uhmmm... doesn't spell breaker mean you CAN'T use Drain Enchant? lol

^small mistake, fixed it.

It hasn't been tested yet. Give some serious comments plz...

Why not smite hex? Smite hex does nice AoE damage at 16 smiting. I would also suggest branching out your smiter's utility skills (Holy Veil, Mend Condition, Drain Enchantment, Aegis). Try sticking a smite hex or two, a mend condition or 2, at most 3 aegis, try to get a powerdrain or 2, maybe a cry of frustration, etc. Don't limit all of your smiter's to being the same.

You might want to try putting a hard res instead of one of your res sigs. Now sure how well it goes on non-mesmers though.

This also isn't an especially powerful spike. Something like a 353 with 290 1.75 sec later (even later than that if you factor in flight time) (assuming 3 WoC, 2 banish spikers + everyone using spear after). You'd have to rely on spiking often, but then you don't get your spear after-spike.

Personally, I think that the spike damage is a little low to be reliable.

The spike doesn't have enough damage.

Isn't it possible to strafe the hit also?

Or maybe I am thinking of something else (maybe Spear of Light).
