Well, inspired by the other thread I thought we could have a real build pinging session. So, go ahead post your favorite/most often used build that you run and tell us why it's so great! I know if you're a PvP you might have a constantly changing build, but post the one you're most proud of.

Here's mine:

this is a pve build

[skill]stone daggers[/skill][skill]earth attunement[/skill][skill]eruption[/skill][skill]obsidian flame[/skill][skill]sandstorm[/skill][skill]armor of earth[/skill]OPTIONAL SLOT[skill]mystic regeneration[/skill]
the armor of earth icon is wrong, shows as kinetic armor, but it is supposed to be armor of earth

The optional slot is used for either intensity (which I really like even after the nerf), res signet or stoneflesh aura.

What makes this build so great: With energy storage and earth attunement I rarely run out of energy even in big long fights so there's energy management.

Sandstorm is a pretty standard nuking spell, it has a long duration and is best cast in the midst of casters and the like, someone who isn't going to move around much. Eruption, despite it's medium damage and high energy cost is definatly the most powerful skill in my arsenal. When the enemy warriors reach your group cast eruption and you've got 10 seconds of them being useless. Against large groups of melee characters it is simply invaluable. When I'm doing UW people sometimes wonder why the Aatax do next to no damage, watch the earth ele

Obsidian flame/stone daggers are both single target spike moves. I use stone daggers mainly because it is fast, very cheap (3 energy) and can be spammed. With intensity on it normally nets about 50 damage against a level 24 which is better than a normal attack. If I was going to change this build stone daggers would be the one to go. O'flame speaks for itself I think?
Obsidian Flame+Boss= Dead boss

I like having extra armor in battles as eles are such a squishy class. AoE reduces the damage I take quite a lot and is useful for mystic regen too.

Normally I have intensity in the optional slot, but when I'm playing with people I take a res. You've just gotta have one.

Mystic regen: the build isn't enchant heavy but I have two up all the time. With mystic regen thrown in I have three with gives me a nice 9 regen. Enough to keep my alive long enough for that last nuke I think.

Ok, now show yours

I actually thought this was what the original thread was for till i read it ^^

My PvE Derv build:

[skill]Mystic Sweep[/skill][skill]Eremite's Attack[/skill][skill]Wild Blow[/skill][skill]Lyssa's Assault[/skill][skill]Heart of Fury[/skill]Aura of Holy Might, Eternal Aura[skill]Avatar of Lyssa[/skill]

16 Scythe. 13/16 Mysticism.

Wild Blow is the optional, but i tend to stick with it, the ensured critical is nice when you hit for 100-300.

Its pretty obvious... use a +4 Mysticism hood for casting Lyssa + Fury, switch back to a +4 Scythe. Go nuts.

[skill]Earth Attunement[/skill][skill]Glyph of Lesser energy[/skill][skill]Unsteady Ground[/skill][skill]Eruption[/skill][skill]Ebon Hawk[/skill][skill]Drain Enchantment[/skill] Optional Slot Usually Intensity even after the nerf [skill]Resurrection Signet[/skill]

E Storage: 12
Earth Magic: 16
Inspiration Magic: whatever is left.

Sometimes I swap out Unsteady Ground for sandstorm . If I do that I take Deep Freeze instead of Intensity. I sometimes take Ward against Melee instead of intensity. Every once in a while you get a stubborn warrior that bum rushes you and it's nice to throw down that ward and then cast on him point blank range.

This is my standard Dervish bar.

[skill]Victorious Sweep[/skill][skill]Wild blow[/skill][skill]Reap Impurities[/skill][skill]Heart of Fury[/skill][skill]Aura of Thorns[/skill][skill]Ebon dust Aura[/skill][skill]Mystic Regeneration[/skill] Optional Slot Usually a rez but with a competent group I'll use watchful intervention instead.

Mysticism:12
Scythe:16
Earth Prayers:Whatever is left

I use my Ebon tormented scythe with this build. 20% enchants, 15% while enchanted. The build has decent damage output but it's meant to be a blinder, as is obvious by the elite choice. I love this build. It is usually the last one standing in a difficult area.

Great fun in ABs...

[skill]Clumsiness[/skill][skill]Ineptitude[/skill][skill]Conjure Phantasm[/skill][skill]Conjure Nightmare[/skill][skill]Arcane Conundrum[/skill][skill]Power Drain[/skill][skill]Drain Enchantment[/skill][skill]Ethereal Burden[/skill]

Primarily an anti-melee build, but also works effectively against touchies (snare + -13 degen) as well as slowing casters (great for capping caster shrines). Nice e-management. As effective as Clumsiness and Ineptitude are, the degens are the key. You can completely change how someone's playing when they see their health bar peel away. Ineptitude is the perfect first cast on that charging assassin that thinks you're a nice squishy little mesmer. Blind em, they're toast. Chase it with Clumsiness (they always swing twice) then slap on the degens. Drain Feigned Neutrality (or whatever it's called). The smarter ones run away hoping for a heal before they die. The ... less intelligent... stick around for another dose of clumsiness as they crumple at your feet. Works great on Warriors and Rangers too. Dervishes... they're a bit more of a pain, but between draining Mystic Regen and blinding them the degens tend to be enough to get them to at worst look for a different target. Casters - Conundrum, degens, power drain and drain enchant (if they're using one... they usually are...) will at worst weaken them to the point of being easy prey for a teammate. MMs... Snare and Degen, same as touchies. Add conundrum and interrupt for the Coup de Grace.

It's a fun build, effective, and I like it. Feel free to give it a try. Tell the assassin at your feet that Canus sent you. (AB IGN = Canus Specificus)

Here's my favorite builds for each of my 3 mains. All PvE oriented.

Evil Aimee: Mo/E

Protection Prayers: 16
Divine Favor: 13

[skill]Blessed Light[/skill][skill]Reversal Of Fortune[/skill][skill]Shield Of Absorption[/skill][skill]Mend Condition[/skill]
[skill]Glyph Of Lesser Energy[/skill][skill]Aegis[/skill][skill]Protective Spirit[/skill][skill]Rebirth[/skill]

I just love the versatility of this build. Although I can't handle spikes very well with it, it's quite capable at doing most of the things that Heroes/Hench don't have a clue with.

Krysten Riega: W/R

Swordsmanship: 16
Beast Mastery: 10
Strength: 9

[skill]Barbarous Slice[/skill][skill]Gash[/skill][skill]Sun And Moon Slash[/skill][skill]Final Thrust[/skill]
[skill]Heal As One[/skill][skill]Call Of Protection[/skill][skill]Charm Animal[/skill][skill]Resurrection Signet[/skill]

Situationally, I swap SAMS for Whirlwind Attack and I usually take Rebirth sig instead of Res sig, but I want the tables to look pretty

Anyway, my Moa Bird has got a bit of history behind her, (almost 2 years worth,) so I rarely take her out of my build. It's a nice build too - high damage output, a half decent heal, but not much defense, just the way I like to play warrior.

Rena Sapphireblade: E/W

Earth Magic: 16
Swordsmanship: 12
Energy Storage: 4

[skill]Crippling Slash[/skill][skill]Gash[/skill][skill]Sun And Moon Slash[/skill][skill]Final Thrust[/skill]
[skill]Sliver Armor[/skill][skill]Stone Striker[/skill][skill]Armor Of Earth[/skill][skill]Resurrection Signet[/skill]

Don't try this build at home kids, it's a roleplay build. It works though. Stone Striker combined with geomancers insignia and an offhand with a +10al Vs Earth inscription is an instant +30 armor boost that bypasses the armor cap completely, which combined with Armor of Earth means +92 armor*, leaving you free to get on with killing things (provided there's nothing with chillblains

) If I'm rolling in hard mode, I'll usually swap Sliver Armor for Magnetic Aura, which has a 25s duration with an enchanting weapon, which helps a lot. Oh and just like Krysten's I usually take Whirlwind and Rebirth Sig, but like I said before, dont want to mess up the shiny stuff.

* I actually roll with a max shield with +10 vs Earth and an energy -5 Vamp weapon of Warding, so go figure, not much energy, but then I barely need it, and I'm running about with 167 armor, so...

Trusty HoH infuse bar. Pretty self-explanatory, not really for PvE but I suppose it would work in most areas if you switched out HB for a condition removal. This bar (and it's older cousin containing spellbreaker) have gotten me LOADS of fame. Just beware of flaming if you don't have a quick trigger finger. =p

That shock axe bar above me might be the best warrior bar ever, btw.

One of my favorite ranger builds is:

[skill]Needling Shot[/skill][skill]Screaming Shot[/skill][skill]Sundering Attack[/skill][skill]Savage Shot[/skill][skill]Pin Down[/skill][skill]Marksman's Wager[/skill][skill]Troll Unguent[/skill][skill]Dryder's Defenses[/skill]

Attributes:
Expertise 13
Wilderness Survival 10
Marksmanship 14

This is a great general purpose build that works well in a lot of areas and the best part is energy management, it's difficult to run out of energy in most cases.

The template code for this build is: OgATcXsm1pVerPlqGEjrx3QcAA

I was experimenting with various energy management builds one day and came up with it after trying a lot of different combinations, I have used it ever since.

Here's my Mesmer's basic build:

Attributes:
FC = 8+1 Domination 12+3+1, Inspiration 10+1

[skill]Echo[/skill][skill]Empathy[/skill][skill]Cry of Pain[/skill][skill]Backfire[/skill][skill]Energy Tap[/skill][skill]Power Drain[/skill][skill]Leech Signet[/skill][skill]Resurrection Signet[/skill]

When I'm LB farming in Domain of Secrets, I'll take [skill]Energy Surge[/skill] and replace [skill]Leech Signet[/skill] with Lightbringers Gaze (I make sure to bring Eve along for some help with energy there.) I like starting in on the Margonites early with LB gaze & E-Surge while they're grouped up so nicely.

My odd AB builds. Necro monk. Run max smite, SR at ten or so 13 depending on my mood, and rest in death. Mainly just annoy MM, dervishes, and help take down npc monks. Icy Veins and Rotting Flesh help with mobs. Sure both sides get hit, but teaches them not to mob <.<

[skill]Scourge Healing[/skill][skill]Scourge Sacrifice[/skill][skill]Scourge Enchantment[/skill][skill]Reversal of Damage[/skill][skill]Verata's Gaze[/skill][skill]Icy Veins[/skill][skill]Rotting Flesh[/skill][skill]Mending Touch[/skill]

When I am really pist at the players in AB I run this.

Blood zero, death 4 or so, beast mastery and wilderness survival 10ish, rest in SR.

[skill]Blood is Power[/skill][skill]Rotting Flesh[/skill][skill]Edge of Extinction[/skill][skill]Toxicity[/skill][skill]Storm Chaser[/skill][skill]Troll Unguent[/skill][skill]Tranquility[/skill][skill]Quickening Zephyr[/skill]

Basically just screws with the battle field, can destroy mobs in one shot, disabled all builds and can give the other team up to 50 points before gate opens. Usually run with a team of four doing this when deep into the enemy side. Also in saltspray if it is GET DA DRAGON TIME.

When I play for real I use a boring generic BA ranger. Sure noobish but can solo cap most shrines, and do decent damage.

I love this build for AB and RA alike, sometimes even TA. Most people consider R/A's noobs, but with a build like this, they dish out much more DPS then any Thumper I've seen. This build is perfect for getting in the middle of things, especially when the threats are physical attacks (Warriors, Assassins, Rangers). With the stances and throw dirt you're near invincible, and while they all crowd around you, you shred them into chunks like a blender with Death Blossom and Moebius Strike constantly being spammed.

[skill]ice spear[/skill][skill]glyph of lesser energy[/skill][skill]shatterstone[/skill][skill]vapor blade[/skill][skill]blurred vision[/skill][skill]maelstrom[/skill][skill]water attunement[/skill][skill]resurrection signet[/skill]-or any other kind of rez

I have been having a huge blast with shatterstone in both PvE and PvP lately. I also have subbed in [skill]Gaze of Contempt[/skill] for some easy no points needed enchant removal. The damage output for the relatively cheap and quick recharge combo of[skill]shatterstone[/skill] and [skill]vapor blade[/skill] on a single target is just deadly. I of course play around with it for PvP, I find it very fun in AB where I add [skill]armor of mist[/skill] to close the distance for a few good ice spears, and also sometimes add [skill]glyph of elemental power[/skill] for an even stronger spike.

The strength of that combo plus the already huge utility of water has won me over for now. Though a bit overkill and not really usable more than once. Glyph of Elem Power + Elemental Lord + Intensity makes a massive water spike. Nearly it does over 300 dmg at just 16 by itself for the moderate price of 30 energy, from all of those skills its nearly 400 I believe.

Anyways, thats my 2 cents of what I've been running lately.

10+1+2 pet
10 spear
9 exp+1
rest wilderness

Just hit Tigers fury then lunge whil your pet deos that hit with the two spear attacks.

Its just the greatest ever, and yes i used this BEFORE hero battles

[skill]Seeping Wound[/skill](somtimes other elite hexes) [skill]Black Spider Strike[/skill] [skill]Critical Strike[/skill] [skill]Deadly Paradox[/skill] [skill]Impale[/skill] [skill]Signet Of Toxic Shock[/skill] [skill]Feigned Neutrality[/skill] [skill]Disrupting Dagger[/skill] (or a running skill)

11+1+3 dagger
10+1 deadly
9+1 crit
5 shadow

Usage should be obvious, go in close hit the first two
then paradox then the other two. Haviing the suprise of being able to hit the rest of the spike at range makes it imo better than the gimmick sp build, less gimmicky too, and pwns recall monks =D. I use in AB from time to time, somewhat sucsessful

My favorite HA build. I advertise as it lots.

[skill]Tainted Flesh[/skill][skill]Barrage[/skill][skill]Echo[/skill][skill]Arcane Echo[/skill][skill]Frenzy[/skill][skill]Healing Signet[/skill][skill]Mending[/skill][skill]Ward Against Harm[/skill]

Tainted Double Echo Mending Barrage Warder w/Frenzy and Heal Sig. I'm too 1337 for rez.

I thought about making it triple echo by echoing arcane echo before using mending, but I figured that would be way too overpowered and didnt want people to catch on and start copying it.
