Metagame really isn't anti-spike. There doesn't seem to be heavy edenial due to ether renewal and nobody is using fertile season, which are really the only two spike 'counters'. Spike is still definitely viable if you have a competent team who can sync orbs/chain and rends properly so don't start saying crap that it's past it's prime because with Ether Renewal still overpowered as an energy engine and sig humility not used much now you don't run into the old energy issues and therefore won't run out of steam after the first few kills. I'd say it's better than before in the current metagame.

Btw earth spiking with earthquake/aftershock is hilarious and just stomps scrub teams but is not really going to be worth it vs any decent team that spreads. Obsidian Flame spiking is just so bad it's not worth mentioning.

I'm happy to see ppl still fond of smiting. Actually 90% (if not 99%) of those smiters pose no threat for our spiking team. I can hardly remember if we lost to any because of outdamage things (i'm not talking about accidental Relic map problems or bad luck kinda hero's stupidness during last 5 sec).
The real problem is/was IWAY builds (i call them 'dogs builds') and heavy hexes builds with Panic (met only once). We have only 50% success rate here

Aura Of Restoration ( For some health )

Energy storage: 12
---------------
Beast mastery: 0
Expertise: 0
Marksmanship: 0
Wilderness survival: 0

Using Spike ( Air magic ) skills have massive damage and are good in the tombs and arena's because they deal over 120 damage on Monks and Mesmers

Spiking is best usefull on:

1. Monks & Mesmer's Armor
2. Elementalist's
3. Warriors

Lol blinding flash stop rangers !! lol i gonna laugh for u and then distrubting elemnetalist aura of restoration and troll unuguemnet then ele/ran is doomed to ded if there is no monk who heals elementalist. Elementalist are quit easy to kill for ranger if u are good player whit ranger and if u know whath to do but i not mean thaht the eles are noobs but i just say my opinion nothing else

The fact that he types like a guy who pretends to be cool with his English instead of a guy who clearly wants their writing to be legible, in the usually broken but as correctly grammar'd sentences as they can sentences.

This build is below generic. In fact, I'd say it's pathetic.

There's a good reason I'd see a machine gun spiker deal more damage if they're half ranger...

It's name?

Serpent's Quickness

twicky_kid · Sep 13, 2005, 09:11 PM // 21:11

here's mine

orb
strike
chain
charge
serpent's quickness
air attune
elemental attune
res sig

i after i have serpents on they recharge one after the other i never have a cool down time on any of my spells. air and elemental gives me free spells.

Arathorn5000 · Sep 14, 2005, 01:57 AM // 01:57

"Machine gun" air spiking is retarded. The key is not to cast more, but to coordinate casts. Or are we talking arenas?

Maybe he could have typed a more coherent post, but it always irks me when people complain about grammatical mistakes made by non-native speakers. I see it all the time on the internet.

Symbol · Sep 14, 2005, 05:24 PM // 17:24

Really? I don't know about you but almost all the non-native English speakers I know have a better grasp of the mechanics and structure of the language than the majority of people who have English as a first language. Incoherents posts filled with retarded l33t speak generally come from native speakers who are too lazy/ignorant to write better, not foreigners.

Back on topic can anyone tell me people choose SQ over arcane echo for raw damage? AE doesn't require attribute investment, can be active 2/3rds of the time, and you get more dps (echoed orb is faster than SQ + orb for example). The only downside is the energy cost.

Surely if you've been learning English for 4 years, you understand that the word is "you" not "u". And you capitalize the word "I". That's what people get annoyed by, not imperfect grammar. And if you remember when you registered for the site, one clause was that it is technically against the rules to write nonsense like 'u' instead of 'you' like in an AIM chat.

gimpysonofgroin · Sep 14, 2005, 08:41 PM // 20:41

What gets me is his complete lack of sentence constuctruction. There are tools like word processors you know. If we can understand we can help. Also I learned german for 2 years 10 years ago and I could construct a better sentence in my non-native tongue than that.

There are even translation programs on the net, look for them.

no such thing as proper english seeing as it evolves constantly with slang

just like ain't wasn't considered a real word 10 years ago. people were called dumb for using it now its in the dictionary.

Wrong. Proper English evolves too.

EDIT: Ain't still isn't accepted as proper English. For example, write ain't in a formal essay and you'll get a comment from your teacher. Unless of course, your school's education was piss poor.

entropy · Sep 17, 2005, 01:35 AM // 01:35

I don't think its the fact that ain't isn't a word its just that its a contraction which is a big nono in an essay

Arathorn5000 · Sep 17, 2005, 01:40 AM // 01:40

It isn't a real contraction. I just used the correct contraction for "is not".
