I thought this would be interesting. Just sort of a party buff build or something.

My R/W's build:

Brutal Weapon
Vengeful Weapon
Weapon of Warding
Cyclone Axe/Sever Artery
Spirit Rift
Healing Signet
Watch Yourself
Flesh of my Flesh

I only use my spells on myself though...

I'm only level 12 yet, so the build is probably still going to switch around a bit.

Let me rephrase:

I only use my Weapon Spells on myself.

Flesh of my Flesh is reserved for henchies who get themselves killed. Luckily, the Factions Henchies seem a lot smarter than the Prophecies ones... *cough*Alesia*cough*

Vengeful Weapon + Weapon of Remedy is a nice combo if you are concentrating on doing damage plus healing. Just throw up renewing memories and alternate spam those two suckers.
Works very good on the group's tank. The group's monk will be happy if they notice you are helping and contributing to dps at the same time.

I looked up Renewing Memories, and it wouldn't do me any good since I buff myself with those Weapon Spells, and holding an item I can't very well wield my Axe ^_^

But thanks for the tip, I'll remember it in case my friend's warrior does the tanking...

I saw a rit who combined Remedy/Vengeful with the NF smitingt skills, because damage from reversal of damage and the weapon spells can stack, you can really put some buff into your damage^^.

At that Rit/Mo build Im playing around with right now... its possibly the best self healing for me (apart from GwT). Still tweaking.

Isn't it a problem that Nightmare Weapon affects only one attack but has 10 seconds recharge?

You know using wand/staff attack doesnt do a thing aganist those with armor over 60.Nightmre weapon is one time life steal.But real purpose is a reqirement to maximise wielder stike.

I see

So you could exchange that Nightmare Weapon for Weapon of Remedy, or any other weapon spell?

I read splinter weapon is the one of choice for wielder's strike. Splinter's duration is quite long.

Its the longest duration weapon. Good for the +15 armour choice. Its always in the back of my mind whn I'm using an item spell, but then, I didn't need the weapon :P.

Splinter Weapon is the ideal long coverage weapon spell - sad that that is its main use though, as a way to have a weapon spell up :P

Reversal of damage is essentially a crappy vengeful weapon - it can only bounce back 61 damage instead of 63, it has an 8 second recharge instead of 3, and it often doesn't do it's full damage, instead being wasted on a normal attack. Also, you lose the ability to spec energy management when you go Rt/mo, so you can't spam indefinitely.

The issue with an all weapon spell build is that they don't stack, so you override weapon spells. However, watch obs mode: eurosplit is pretty strong at the moment (generally a rt/e with weapon of warding, weapon of remedy, and often some hexes). It's a pretty nasty split, to be sure, but even then, you aren't running 7 weapon skills, more like 3-4 (tops).

But wouldnt using both skills give you the ability to continuously (or near) keep either one of those skills up, giving at least some protection a majority of the time?

ill have to check both skill descriptions propely, all this weapon rt talk is getting me excited

I did the ruptured heart area in NF with a Dunkoro hero and myself as the two healers. I had Vengeful Weapon, Weapon of Remedy and Reversal of damage.
Boy was it hectic as hell. What sucked was I was constantly trying to keep Dunkoro alive too. Arrrrgh.

You can spam vengeful and weapon of remedy back and forth without stopping already. Reversal has a nasty 8 second recharge, so you end up with most all of your damage from the weapons, with a 20-40 damage reversal every 8 seconds. Me, I'd rather save my att points for channeling to get some energy back, or for spawning power to use renewing memories.

Although they don't stack, weapon spells can't be stripped, unlike enchants which will be torn to pieces by grenth's. Weapon of warding is one of my favorite skills for protection, as everyone strips their targets before focus firing now. Weapon of quickening also has some nice potential in certain builds, while vengeful and remedy are essentially instant healing that have the added bonus of discouraging attacks.

I run this build when people want me to play a support healer. It works fairly well, energy is hardly a problem at all.
