Build i use (and i'm a warrior primary so you don't need to be a Rit)

[Agony][Union][Displacement][Pain][Bloodsong][Vampirism][Shadowsong][Ursan Blessing]

ok can't get the code to show them but basically Agony is the most valuable as they take damage from it and head for it first BUT you cast it before you go into the arena and they get stuck trying to attack it and that gives time to raise a Pain, Blood Song and Vampiric siprit (Shadowsong too vs Bison) then go Ursan on them to deliver the last spike of damage, use skill 2 then skill 1 to knockdown then do over 100 damage + all the spirits damage (2 of them are armor ignoring i believe)

I won the entire tournament with a Searing Flames build... with 12 fire magic because I forgot to change to my fire eye from my earth eye. "You Move Like A Dwarf!" and running like hell from Bison, occasionally burning him is the easiest way to go.

I just cannot kill Bison. The other people are easy, but he is just stupidly powerfull and reduces my health to 0 in 3 hits!


I gave up trying, and accepted ill never get those pve only skills!


Really fun mini games Anet added!

just because you can't kill him doesn't mean the mini games are not fun. i had the most fun when i was beaten by him because then i realized how to beat him.

and the other mini games are just awesome, specially the Punch-Out Extravaganza.

back on topic, try your imagination, you do know you can change secondary, so if you can't find a way by yourself just adapt one of the other builds being an ele primary.

good luck

Cap Ursan Blessing, every time he comes close use weekness on him, when the weakness runs off use kd, run away untill he looses agroo. Then do it again.

This works best with a warrior but I figure it will work with any class. It will just take longer.

USE IT!!! stop saying every build doesn't kill him

Only foe this doesn't kill is Joko

Heres a video showing him getting owned without hitting me once, please stop claiming its too hard it takes 30seconds and if you really can't kill him maybe its time to give-up

Perhaps a better abuse-your-ritualist-secondary build is:

[skill]vampirism[/skill][skill]pain[/skill][skill]bloodsong[/skill][skill]wanderlust[/skill][skill]anguish[/skill][skill]shadowsong[/skill][skill]summon spirits[/skill][skill]painful bond[/skill]

Cast your spirits in the order listed (possibly moving vampirism later if you have a low sunspear rank) before moving. Step through the door and immediately summon spirits before it closes. (They can't shadow step after it closes.) Cast painful bond and win.

Extra notes:
For Razah, you'll have to summon spirits a second time since he won't move into range for you.
For firestorm users you may have to use summon spirits a second time to save them if wanderlust fails to interrupt.
For Bison: Wait until after he's been blinded and purges to use painful bond. You might use summon spirits a second or third time if you're afraid of him killing one despite being blind.

This got me through the norn fighting tournament with ease, although one of the mesmers can be a bit tough.
As for Bison, start off with casting all your enchantments up, than hit him with obsidian flame, stone daggers than when his attacking you, hit sandstorm and eruption, than spam obsidian flame and stone dagger, it'll should 99% of the time beat him blind ftw
