too bad mesmers and necromancers will own you with degen
Too bad they don't...

I've been meaning to try out that spirit bond IW build for a while(too lazy to get some of my armor infused :P), but I don't see any reason why it wouldn't work. The Mesmers have E-Surge and Power Leak, which, while pretty annoying, aren't particularly dangerous, especially if you pre-cast SV and get their energy drained(as a Mo/Me; I'm guesing that as a Mesmer primary you can cast it fast enough with high Fast Cast.) or run Resolve. Necros do use Life Transfer and Siphon, but that's not really much of an issue for a Spirit Bond as long as you keep a reasonable amount of HP, and if you 55, you can just avoid them; most mobs don't contain a Necro. None of the Mursaat have enchant removal to my knowledge. I'll be able to say a bit more when I actually get around to getting my armor infused.

if i remember correctly the mesmers can spam an energy stealing skill that totally rapes your energy. so much so that its hard for just one energy skill like balths to keep up.. add the fact that your spamming your skills and interupts into the picture.. and the opps build falls flat

i go to RoF and farm Jade+Mursaat
i use SB+Unifused armor because Spectral Agony activates SB so ur health is fine and i bring SoJ which is probly a little slower Dark Tykane

Too bad they don't... Haha thats hilarious...he was wrong about 3 things in a row... Don't you have to be infused for the degen not to kill your 55? I know spirit bonder is way easy on these guys if you're not infused. Dark Tykane

Well in the beginning you just have to be smart with pulls. Think about it if a group of 3 jades are with you that gives you an extra +6e for every time all 3 attack+the wands of the mursaat will more than likely give you 1 energy each hit because not all are elemental damage so on the group of four when the mesmer steals 8 of your energy easily you want to have jades with you or you have no energy.
On the group with two mesmers that is lead away by the dwarven dude you want to have at least 2 groups of jade IMO to keep up energy nicely. It works with the Mo/e bruning speed build nicely and even the N/mo SS spirit bonder if you can coun't KDs like you should be able to. Just incase you don't want to smite. RadeonDJ9600
If you have 3 groups of Jades attacking 1 or 2 E Surge's every 30 seconds or so isn't going to kill you especially if you're running Essence+Balths Spirit...
I find that Spirit Bond works better as it's much more flexible with the degen the necros bring (Life Transfer+Siphon) and Spectral Agony. I typically pull the casters together and bring the warriors into them. Then I alternate SV/AV to keep them from getting enough energy to cast Thunderclap, E Surge, Ether Feast, etc. or the adrenaline to use Devastating Hammer. Once I've had SV up for a couple seconds, then I activate SoJ. btw, if you bring Spirit Bond, leave the infused armor at home as Spectral Triggers your energy management skills and Spirit Bond

yeah spirit bond was made for people that cant do 55,
mesmers and necros dont carry enchantment removal by the way and its really easy, the only thing you got to wrry about in this mission is if one of the nightmares pops out and does touch of agony on you. RadeonDJ9600

Or if the towers instantly strip all of your enchants... Btw, Spirit Bond was not "made for people that cant do 55." In many situations Spirit Bond is simply superior to a pure 55 build. I'm also using Spirit Bond because I farm Mursaat with a high health armor set. The reason for this is because I also bring Retribution to dish out a little extra dmg to the casters. Please try not to be so ignorant to say that Spirit Bond is for people who can't 55, as in many situations SB compliments a 55. |
