Hey guys...just a little build I threw together to do Gate Of Madness (Nightfall Shiro + Lich Mission) and it seems to work good for everything.


W/Mo


Attributes:

Swordsmanship- 6 + 2 (8)
Tactics- 12 + 2 (14)
Strength- 9
Protection Prayers- 2


Runes:

-Major Swordsmanship
-Major Tactics
-Minor Vigor


Skills:



Sever Artery, Deadly Riposte, Riposte, Gladiator's Defense{E}, Shield Stance, Dolyak Signet, Healing Signet, Rebirth



Equipment:

Weapon: Zealous Sword of Fortitude

Shield: Max, req9...with +30 Health (Exalted Aegis is perfect) Stance mods go nicely with the build too, as you are just about always in a stance.

Armor: Max (80+20vs physical, but 90+10vs physical works better) You will need a helm of swordsmanship. (A helm that already has "Swordsmanship +1" attached to it without the use of a rune)


Use:

Right before you aggro something, use Shiled Stance, then find a good spot to stay still and tank and use Dolyak Signet, Glad's Defense, Deadly Riposte, Riposte, and just spam those 5 over and over again. And when you have the change you will want to use Sever Artery to give a little degen to the enemy. Heal with Healing Signet whenever needed, but you will not be taking too much damage. Just be careful around mesmers.


Enjoy!

Any questions?..... IGN: Dr Imperial
