Hello every one, thought i should share this build since there is a number of eles available in DoA.

First and Most Important. THIS BUILD IS NOT TAKEN OR STOLEN. I Created This Build Specifically when DoA was Released because of the sheer number of eles available to the groups.

If any of you find such build arround, kindly let me know, i will see to it.
Reason i am being so picky here is because of people who tend to say the very first thing when they see most of the builds online "Oh we have seen this build and it was made by BLAH and it is copied right off!".

Well, that was That.

This is how the build goes.

Ele/Necro

Attributes
Energy: 15-16 ( 12 + 3 + [optional head piece + 1] )
Blood: 12

Weapon Set:
Any Energy Storage related weapon which can help increase your energy

Armour:
Two Sets of Armour
One is your Regular Armour
Second is your Armour with Runes ( Kind of like the setup that you have for 55 build without cesta )

Any armour with 3 to 4 superior runes. Reason is to keep your health between 105-180 Always! ( I prefer any thing between 105-150 though )
If you get any Death Penalty on you, switch your armour piece to the one without a superior rune

Skill Set:
[skill]Blood is Power[/skill]
[skill]Blood Ritual[/skill]
[skill]Aura of Restoration[/skill]
[skill]Glyph of Restoration[/skill]
[skill]Glyph of Lesser Energy[/skill]
Optional 6th Skill
Optional 7th Skill
Rez (Sunspear Rebirth Signet is Good)

Optional Skills:
Depending on Areas, i take 2 rez skills when i go to any DoA
+ Lightbringer's Gaze ( good skill for emergency dmg and interupt )

Usage:
Aura of Restoration Must stay Up at all times. Try to Cast Aura with Glyph of Lesser Energy to not waste any mana.
You can BIP 3 times in a row, cast Glyph of Restoration before your fourth and Bip.
The reaction of Aura of Restoration and Glyph of Restoration to Saccing life is:
You are Healed before you Sacrifice any health.
SO, what this boils down to in the end is.... YOU WILL NEVER HAVE FULL HEALTH at ANY POINT After Biping.
To test this, try Glyph of Restoration + Aura of Restoration and then BIP
You will first gain 150 health ( 110 due Glyph + 40 and 40 cause of Spells cost ) and then Sac 59 health ( with 180 health total )

Pros:
You can Bip in Long fights where no one is dying. At times, you are forced to wait while tank positions all the foes appropriately, and your bip can go like the energizer bunny on and on and on for 14 bips straight witout a delay

It is wise for one to practice this in Isle of Nameless against dummies to BIP before they go practical with this build to get the feel of it.

Since i am writing this post while doing foundry, i am being very brief.
If any question, shoot !

Let me know if you guy have any comments, suggestions, flames...

Yours Truly
Darkest.

Why on earth would you waste a skill slot on BR when you have BiP?

Ah, 3 things.

First: How about you suggest me skills for the optional slots before you question why i carry BR?

Second: Why not BR? Having BR on Bonder at times with Aura and GOLE is No energy and No Sac with a +3 regen.
When bonder goes away, Keep BR and BIP on bonder to keep enchantments maintained. I just didn't see any down side to it.

Third: When i will see a need of third skill after having my optional skills used up, i will surely take BR out. Until then, it sounds alrite to me ^_^

In last, its really just a Build that Does BIP job without having much of any issue. rest of the 2 optional skill slots are support, if i have those two used up and i still need to free another slot for any thing important, BR goes off my list.

Res Signet
Sunspear Rebirth Signet
Mid-spec blinding flash
mid-spec wards
mid-spec snares

Maybe some combination. There's plenty of utility in the elementalist lines, you don't need such ridiculously high energy storage, grab something useful out of the water line or something else. Deep Freeze, Ice Spikes, Freezing Gust + Blurred Vision would be strong @ ~9/10 spec, if you're running superiors it could even be 12ish.

I just find it utterly pointless to be honest to have both. If your bonder need both, they need to start sucking less as well.

Kindly check the Skill list i mentioned above
Blidning flash, i am not going to bother with this spell. get real. Who carries B-Flash in DoA?
If at ANY time you need to cast B-Flash on Foes in DoA, you need to switch your team. your eles and Necros are useless in damage dealing. Simple.

As far as Wards goes:
Ward of stability ( No need in DoA )
Ward against Foes ( W/Ele's Job, not yours. ). If foes are able to reach you, your team is not playing DoA right.
Ward Against Meele. If foes are able to reach you, your team is not playing DoA right.
Ward against ele ( are you serious? )

Snares, why ? i have done every single of these elite quests for over 30 times each. never needed it before, why now?

I just find it utterly pointless to be honest to have both. If your bonder need both, they need to start sucking less as well. If your BIP has time to do all that stuff during a battle... you either have a bip who has no idea what his job is OR you have an exceptional bip my friend. Never knew that eles could manage that much without having any energy backup skill.

Join me sometime and demonstrate how you play your BIP.
My IGN is Darkest Elemantal, i will be doing Gloom and Foundry tommorow nite 11pm (-5gmt) Join me, or leave me your iGN.

I am just curious, how often you play DoA?
I don't like the idea of being given suggestions when they are uterlly useless in an area such as DoA.

I am doing DoA right now and my bip has Both BR abd BIP. But he is spamming BIP without a delay. I wonder why he has no time to stop and cast any thing else?
With the health that he has, our team prefers him to Stay behind EVERY one else.

If you have question about me or my group's build, buzz me in game.

Our Avg time for :
City ( 1 hr 30 min )
Gloom ( 50min - 1 hr 30 min )
Stygian ( about 3 hours )
Foundry ( About 3 hours )

PS: Sorry i am slow in replying any answer because i am way too busy with quest at this point. I Apologies for any incconvinence.
