There are several */Rit spirit spammer builds posted in this thread. I used Dralspire's for my ranger, and it worked really well. I used a */Rit spirit spammer (slightly different than Dralspire's) against the Glacial Griffon as well.

EDIT: Except don't use the build code he's posted. That only works for a monk/rit. Just add the skills and up communing and channeling and you'll get your own code worth saving for future use.

Any easy way other than spirit spamming? My Dervish doesn't have wanderlust or most of those other spirits, and is nowhere near the place where you cap wanderlust.

You don't need wanderlust. Equip pain inverter, ursan, and maybe 3 other normal spirits (I think I had Pain, Displacement and one other that deals damage) and you can still get through. I play Derv and have been trying to get a good Derv build with mostly Derv skills for the tourney. But as you can see from this thread, Derv norn tourney builds are hard to find.

I didn't try to beat Magni but I made my objective which was to get Xandra and Kahmu. I ran a Signet of Midnight build pretty similar to the one on the first page. Risk for my survivor was minimal

You can still setup spirits on the inside of the door before you get far enough in for the door to close. Even though the door closes on the back half of them, they can still shoot. Tha'ts my 'I don't want to work too hard." ranger build (with serpent's quickness).

This has been working quite well.

Kills everything pretty fast (before the assassin poofs in some cases) but I haven't been able to fight Joko with it yet.

Just set up right in the doorway, step in and door closes ON spirits but they can still hit. Painful Bond to pull, oath shot sometime before shadowsong drops for bison and reaply it. Only one who EVER gives any challenge with this is Razah since he will stay put and spam his own. I use essence strike as I keep a bow on for oath shot (keeps me from running out of energy).

Which skill do you have in #1?

Thx

Abnaxus:: It's "Gaze of Contempt" (Factions Necro skill, no linked attribute)

And it's strictly just for Mhenlo; Ebon Vanguard Support -> Gaze of Contempt -> fight over.

Bring along your usual armor, but bring a +15 energy staff at first to cast down all the spirits in order from LEFT to RIGHT. Cast the spirits between the door gap so it doesn't close on you yet. After casting all, switch to a zealous mod weapon and hack and slash away at your target, only stopping to cast Painful Bond on the enemy.

I used this as well for my warrior. I used energy runes on my armor as well as a +15/-1 +30 focus for a rit. Gave my Warrior around 55 energy (A +5E Weapon would be nice too, lol).

Dropped the Spirits in the order above. Cast Painful Bond and went to town. Brutal Weapon is hardly ever used.

I must admit though. There are certain foes that will be game over for Warriors. So as some others have stated, luck of the draw does play a factor with a W/RT, because once Shadowsong dies it's open season.

I used a variant on my temporary D/Rt.

[skill]Painful Bond[/skill][skill]Brutal Weapon[/skill][skill]Vampirism[/skill][skill]Bloodsong[/skill][skill]Pain[/skill][skill]Dissonance[/skill][skill]Avatar of Lyssa[/skill][skill]Shadowsong[/skill]

As you can see, the Avatar of Lyssa compensates for the energy requirement, particularly that of Dissonance.

Communication 11
Chaneling 11

And no need for Energy use Mighty Was Vorizun
And then where you start make the spirits and step in the arena and use Summon Spirits
Use Spirit Burn and Painfull Bond on the persons and wait and let the spirits do their work ^^

You can use this build with every class there is ^^
I used to use with a warrior!

Thats my build ^^

(Uhm i hope this build wasnt post XD, because i was to lazy to read back :P )

Put spirits on top of the 2nd gate tie except when facing Meloni then spread them out. Use poison arrow and hunters shot for degen and "YMLaD!" for knockdown/interrupt and cripple. Palawa Joko with his 2 minions and rubberband lag when trying to kite were my only problems with this build.

I could usually get Magni quickly by casting the 4 spirits in order, using poison arrow, waiting for him to cast purge signet then hitting him with painful bond and posion again. Other times I had to finish him by running around, using degen and keeping him crippled until he degened to death. "YMLaD!" is awesome here as it is a shout and can be used when running, shooting or even when setting a spirit.

Is there one that can beat them all for sure?

I summoned all the spirits, watched my energy go back up to 13, hit C+spacebar, then Painful Bond, and before it even finished activating I saw the big green Victory in the window... almost every single time. Some opponents would last a couple seconds longer. Magni, of course, was a bit more of a challenge. But he was really funnier than he was a challenge. I just lured him to spirits if he came toward me, then ran away and summoned another one or two. It was like leading him around by the nose. After a short time of that, I saw the big green Decisive Victory in the window.

Thanks Dralspire.

Your right! I just tried this build with my Ranger, Ele and RT. I had a minor problem with Razah and you need to run out and cast anguish and then pb him. Other than that, it was a cake walk. Excellent build!

I SileniuS I · Oct 06, 2007, 08:31 AM // 08:31

i have used this as monk :

http://www.imagesforme.com/images/6483gw010.jpg

You can use 2 summons at the same time, sniper vanguard and mursaat(my personal choice, u can ofc go djinn or smth else),then i used a brutal weapon because i looked for a weapon spell that lasts the longest. Weapon spells are awesome cause when u become a bear u lose ench but no weapon spell

. And rest are spirits : displacement, life, rejuvenation, recuperation. U really need spirits for Bison only cause others fall in 10-15 secs. 3-4 secs before combat just use mursaat, sniper and brutal, then bear up and thats it. Hope thijs help some1.

I just tried some Derwish build with ebon dust aura
OgCjkurKrOC4/r/lAP6FvsXwNA
too bad i found out that aura of holy might is bugged and stops ebon dust aura from working.
Maybe i would have beaten Bison if it wasen't bugged and my attacks kept him blind.

It doesn't beat all enemys but a lot of them and it should be able to beat bison if i replace aura of holy might.

Another build with Avatar of Lyssa is able outdamage Alesia Devona and most of the others but Bison killed me with that one

I've beat everyone with this build (with exception of Joko, I've not fought him but have everyone else), of course you have to know what to do for certain ones but it works.
I just used a blood staff w/ eng 5^50, eng 5 and 30hp, it was one I put together.
Spoil Victor
Life Siphon (used it for kiting if I had to run around-against Cynn, to get eng back)
Vampiric Touch
Vampiric Gaze
Vampiric Bite
Awaken the Blood
Protective Spirit
Healing Breeze

Blood 16
Healing 9
Protection 9

Cast Awaken the Blood first, then SV. When they get low enough to where SV isn't triggering anymore run in and touch them to death. You may have to piddle with it to get it working right since you don't know who you will be facing before him. But once you get to him do Awaken the Blood as usual, followed by LIFE SIPHON. This will work as a cover hex. After he does Bear Form cast SV then Protective Spirit. If you get low cast Healing Breeze and reapply SV when he removes it and keep up Protective Spirit. This worked for me so hope it works for you all as well. Good luck and enjoy!
