Mo/Rit

[vampirism][bloodsong][pain][shadowsong][dissonance][painful bond][reversal of fortune][protective spirit]

Protection 8 + 2
Communing 11
Channeling 11

Summon Vampirism, Bloodsong, Pain, Shadowsong and Dissonance. Then target your opponent with painful bond. Cast Protective Spirit, and Reversal of Fortune when necessary. What I find is that if you have enough practice, you would know when to and not to cast rof to save energy

This build worked very well for me, only challenge is when facing Alesia - if Healing Hands did not get interrupted, that may be a problem, other than that, it kills everyone else pretty quickly.

For Razah the spirit spammer, as suggested in earlier posts, use a longbow to pull him.

And make sure Magni attacks you and not the spirits (keep protection spirit and rof on yourself), - the spirits will kill him - do remember to cast a 2nd painful bond on him to quicken his death.

And as mentioned earlier, opponents with AOE spells, (e.g. Little Thorne), ensure they cast the spell away from the spirits!

Used this on my mesmer because I was too cheap to buy myself a bunch of spirits!

Passive victories (or whatever they are called) FTW!

KILL MAGNI WITH AIR ELEMENTALIST - FIRST ROUND MATCHES

Spent around 2k trying to do this with me Ele, as many Ele builds used skills I could get, then came up with this build. I got hit 1 time by Magni, due to not moving quickly enough. Only one hit from him.

Max your Air Magic and Energy Storage. I had rank 5 Norn rank.

[Windborne Speed][Lightning Orb][Lightning Hammer][Enervating Charge][Blinding Flash]["You Move Like A Dwarf"][Elemental Attunement][Air Attunement]

Defeat players leading up to Magni as follows:

Equip Elemental Attunement, followed by Air Attunement at the very start. (As the countdown is ticking)

Then move out to engage combat, using the condition spells to inflict weakness and blinding on Rangers and Warriors etc. Then spam your Orbs and Hammers at the enemy. When they are below 50% health, expect a self heal, so quickly use You Move Like A Dwarf. With no casting time, you have no excuse not to interrupt their self heals. Finish blasting them with your powerful Air spells.

Magni The Bison

I tried tons of ways to kill him, Earth magic, Fire, but found he could always get to me and deal more damage faster. Until I used Windborne Speed, combined with You Move Like A Dwarf.

What you need to do:

Equip dual attunements at the start, the same as you've been doing in the tournament, followed by Windborne Speed right after. (So you have a speedboost to charge at Magni)

Then when the gate opens, run at Magni and use You Move Like A Dwarf on his 'Bear Form.' With no casting time, you should be able to interrupt it near the end of its casting. That stops him getting an extra 250 health!

He is then crippled, so blast him a few times with your powerful air spells, remembering to keep up Windborne speed to not let him get close. If he uses purge signet, keep on the move until you can use You Move Like A Dwarf again. The You Move Like A Dwarf skill recharges very frequently, so you can keep his movement in check. Plus moving far away under the effects of the speed boost, makes him walk back to his side of the arena.

You need to also make sure that you have both attunements up during the entire fight, so that you are fine with energy. Running out would not be a wise choice!

Keep blasting him with the Orb and Hammer spells, whilst he is crippled from the Norn skill, remembering to always run away with Windborne Speed. He won't get close to you, and you can watch his health drop and drop. I never had to weaken him or blind him, but those are there for scary moments. We don't like scary moments!

Eventually, the combo of ["You Move Like A Dwarf"] + [Windborne Speed] keeping you one step ahead of him...

...plus blasting him with [Lightning Orb] + [Lightning Hammer] as he tries to get close to you, will make you victorious!

Took me a while, but I found a build that worked. I stupidly let him get too close one time when the camera angle was pointing the other way, not allowing me to see how close he was as I cast Windborne Speed. I took one hit, but beat him easily enough.

I hope you Eles can too!

Auspicious Incantation
Conjure Nightmare
Vampirism
CoP
Phantom Pain
Signet of Midnight
Arcane Echo
Ebon Vanguard Assassin

This was pre SoM nerf, but it should still work fine seeing as you really only need it a lot for Magini. I've used this build for a really long time, and its almost never lost to any of the characters in the arena. echo the sin after you lay on nightmare and pain, then CoP any self heals or just to deal damage. SoM melee, and you're golden.

specifically for Bision, simply CoP bear form, Ausp, Nightmare, (wait for purge), SoM, echo sin, Pain, CoP the purge, and he's dead.

the best elite imo to kill magni is [grenth's balance]. and since it is unlinked you can use Any/Nec and put your favorite primary skills with it.
I actually used blood + energy storage ( ele primary ), put [life siphon] on him and spam [necrosis] and ymld. he hit me twice and that was enough to balance things between us...

alex1tmac · Aug 17, 2008, 07:00 PM // 19:00

My character is a Warrior, and I cannot beat the tournament no matter what i try. I was wondering if anyone could post a build for me, preferably w/mo or w/p as i have the most skills for them.

mastar of warrior · Aug 17, 2008, 07:13 PM // 19:13

[w/Any;OQASEZKTGW2kXF8VnimaLOAAA]
[W/N;OQQTEZqVXiwYwAx6GEwItgvwKA]
[Any/rt;OAgiAyiM9N5DWOd2k5sLWNZTC]

these should work.

(to anyone saying he wanted it w/mo or w/p , he Said Preferably , not necessary.)

That Any/Rt build basicly makes Crowns free headgear. Gathered 2 Crowns for myself that way aswel.

Richardt · Sep 07, 2008, 02:56 AM // 02:56

On my warrior, I used the W/N Grenth's Balance/Reposte/Deadly Repost build posted in the thread Nightstalker linked to. Took a while to get the feel for it, but it worked.

'

Ohh I must of been thinking of the wrong quest. sorry

Ohh yeah i would also suggest using wiki maybe?'

sorry i cant be of more help

Luminarus · Sep 08, 2008, 08:35 AM // 08:35

Try and get some of the pve skills, they'll probably help. Finish Him is great, but I think that may come from the end of that quest.... ummm asuran scan definately is good, summoning skills, you move like a dwarf. General shock axe build should probably get you most of the way through. Against magni, you move like a dwarf + kiting is a good idea.

[Morkai] · Sep 08, 2008, 10:21 AM // 10:21

Well try going W/N with:

Eviscerate, distracting strike, executioners strike, flail, enraging charge, Vamp gaze (if you come against the 55 Monk) and an optional one. Don't try to interupt magni, just run around him with enraging charge until his bear form is off, then slap him with regular attack skills, maybe take Lion's comfort as optional.
