your thoughts appreciated

also consider:
[card]heket's rampage[/card] [card]blazing spear[/card] [card]barbed spear[/card] [card]poisonous bite[/card] [card]disrupting throw[/card] [card]heal as one[/card] [card]charm animal[/card] [card]signet of return[/card]

If this is pve, I don't think the Stunning strike one is really worth it. Dazed isn't really a great condition to cause unless you're fighting a boss because of how fast you can kill the casters. Especially before you get the 10 adrenaline to use it on the enemy caster that has already unloaded on someone; I know you're attacking faster but still.

I think the second one is fine, seems to fit the purpose of what you're going for; high dps and conditions and interruptions galore. Neither of the builds are energy intensive, which is good because you don't have any shouts to fuel your energy.

If this is for pvp, as long as you have conditions flying around everywhere, it could work, but still, 10 adrenaline to cause a conditional daze just seems steep.

youd be suprized how fast you get to 10 adr when chucking spears at 33% faster :P


...but actually I like the second versoin better...only two attributes to max out your skills... i posted that one in the builds directory...


(and this build was originally intended for PVP)

[card]heket's rampage[/card] [card]poisonous bite[/card] [card]barbed spear[/card] [card]blazing spear[/card] [card]"fall back!"[/card] [card]crippling anthem[/card] [card]charm animal[/card] [card]comfort animal[/card]

attr:
spear 12+1+3
beast 8
comand 10+1

a good variation for AB

Hey, I just wanted to say thanks much for these builds-- I AB very successfully with this and beat Magni with this slight variation of your build:

heal as one
heket's rampage
barbed spear
blazing spear
poisonous bite
maiming spear
brutal strike
charm animal

spear mastery: 11 or 12 + 1 + 1
beast mastery: 12
remaining points in whatever your shield is.

-Maiming spear can be switched out for Spear of Redemption or Holy Spear for those pesky MMs, though is it just me, or does Holy Spear not set things on fire and NOT affect spirits?? Anyway, I tried em all out, and I just prefer crippling people so they can't run after they've been hit w/ all the conditions, which is what most people do . You can't escape the Brutal Strike.. hehe.

And lmfao, when I beat Magni and when I was doing well in AB for a while, I didn't even fix my command attributes, so I essentially did it w/o the shield armor. So yeah, after playing my pvp ele in AB all the time, it's now immensely satisfying being able to go up against assassins w/ my para 1v1 and never lose lol.
