well ya ive been playing GW for like a year and a half now and now im kinda getting bored. to keep myself entertained i like to mess around with weapons and skills. like i have zenmai using a sythe and general morgahn using a axe.

anyone else got other builds like that
(any build that uses a different weapon for that class, example: ranger using sword)

Zenmai, Assassin with spear. I cannot link to the site here, but if you enter "zenmai's critical spear" in Google you will find a very fun article by Lord Helmos and the build.

I've messed around w/ a few interesting hero builds. For instance, I build Zenmai as a paragon secondary, using some command skills like go for the eyes, and the one that makes the next attack an ally makes that crits cause a deep wound.

I have had a good measure of success mixing a MM Necro w/ a ritualist secondary...

How could someone giving you hero builds enjoy your fun? I could understand making new interesting hero builds, but how could copying someone else's add to your enjoyment?

You can give Zenmai a bow and take the critical barrage build. I love that build, and hero's can use this build very good.

The Dervish with a staff build is quite good:
[card]Order Of Pain[/card][card]Dark Fury[/card][card]Arcane Zeal[/card][card]Vow Of Piety[/card][card]Watchful Intervention[/card][card]Faithful Intervention[/card][card]Mystic Healing[/card][card]Resurrection Signet[/card]

Set your hero to avoid and they will spam OoP and Dark Fury to their hearts content, and that will spread healing around whenever they end. Couple with a few adrenaline based heroes and you're laughing.

A ranger with a spear is always good for this part. Powerful attacks with reduced energy cost and the added damage of a pet makes for a pretty impressive build, also has the incredible heal from Heal As One:
[card]Spear Of Lightning[/card][card]Blazing Spear[/card][card]Merciless Spear[/card][card]Poisonous Bite[/card][card]Tiger's Fury[/card][card]Heal As One[/card][card]Charm Animal[/card][card]Resurrection Signet[/card]

Replace poisonous bite with whichever pet attack you like. I use this build for general PvE.

Was thinking about a "Set the World on Fire" build this morning.
I would give it a try first but, hey, someone could use it just for fun:

Vekk:
[skill]mark of rodgort[/skill][skill]savannah heat[/skill][skill]teinai's heat[/skill][skill]searing heat[/skill][skill]fire storm[/skill][skill]fire attunement[/skill][skill]breath of fire[/skill][skill]glyph of lesser energy[/skill]

General Morgahn:
[skill]"They're on fire!"[/skill][skill]anthem of flame[/skill][skill]glowing signet[/skill][skill]signet of return[/skill][skill]blazing spear[/skill][skill]song of restoration[/skill][skill]ballad of restoration[/skill]

Ranger Hero (with fiery bow of choice):
[skill]conjure flame[/skill][skill]barrage[/skill][skill]whirling defense[/skill][skill]needling shot[/skill][skill]throw dirt[/skill][skill]troll unguent[/skill][skill]volley[/skill]rez of choice

And me playing a Searing Flames Elementalist + Mark of Rodgort

Add two healers and two fighters henchmen and you'd be set.

Would be completely useless against destroyers, but the idea of spreading burning on everyone PLUS damage reduction, well, to me it sounds fun
