I am boggled on this one…….. I ran a different style of this a last weekend and got 3 glad points. I ran it again last night and got 3 more glad points. When I am running my normal ele skills I have problems getting 1 glad point. Was it luck of the group??? Or is it the build??? Only reason I even tried it was because I am using it on a PVP character. And have been trying things I never used before.

Everyone loves flare LOL but it does work a bit better when you cast Glyph of Immolation and time your burns on your target

Weapon: Fiery Longbow of Enchanting

Why would I get more off this then other builds??

And to top it off my skill attributes are spread all over the place

BoC with no KD = waste. Charm and HaO with no pet buffer/thumper skills = waste. The whole build is just kind of random skills slapped together.

Not to say you shouldn't keep looking for fresh, new builds, but this one's success is wholly accredited to luck or to your teammates.

luck because everyone else says it was o.0

actually, (this is kinda off topic) but i had great success with a ranger/fire ele build in factions for a little while (till i deleted him).

I remember once getting 13 wins using a smiting monk with daggers. It's all about luck.

I'm going to go ahead and be different, and say that all the other teams were just more terrible. That build is bad. It makes me cry.

That build is bad, but E/R Beastmasters aren't always bad! An Ele with Ferocious Strike can actually be pretty amusing.

RA is always about luck. You can run a bad build and win (like you did), you can run a good build and lose.

I think you stole my last pieces of luck! You get 3 glads with shit when i run cripslash and interrupt 99% sure with disarm and knock almost always with bull's. What's wrong? Yes, foes sucks but... our team sucks usually twice as much. (I'm not perfect either i know) I 1-2 hours with that and... 1 glad point. I can't even imagine all the bars my team members had.

I remember getting multiple glad points with divine boon + RoF as my only skills. BTW, luck is everything in RA.

Jeez, why is everyone saying it's luck? I think if he used an enchanting fire staff instead of a bow, and put 9 points in staff mastery for extra damage, it'd be a really good build. Staff mastery helps you get more criticals with staff hits. It's really good.

Staff mastery helps you get more criticals with staff hits. It's really good. What? What game were you playing when you saw staff mastery as an attribute line for a E/Ra? It certainly doesn't exist in Guild Wars.

As to running a E/Ra build, only time you should even think about it is when trying to farm totem axes. I started out as a E/Ra and it stinks!

As has been said before, 80% of winning in RA is pure luck, luck in getting a good team, luck in getting a bad opposition team...... You can easily run a uber PvP build in RA and get massacred, then run a stinking build that wouldn't even work in low end PvE and be on the side doing the massacering! Oh the times I have gone E/N purely so I could run a bar with life siphon on it and gone on to win 10 in a row, purely from combining self healing with life stealing with extra damage from the rest of my bar...

Erm, no? Try reading your damn attribute menu. Staff Mastery is available to all 60 AL classes.

I repeat, there is no such attribute line as staff mastery. Try looking at your own attribute menu, as I double checked mine before posting, and I double checked on Guild Wiki.

Srsly. Casters without points in staff mastery are just as bad as melee without points in their weapon of choice.

Wol I think what happened is that they removed the pages about staff mastery. It's there, trust me. You need to be hyperascended to see it. Make sure you are.

Ok, at this point I can only assume that this is what for some of you passes as humour, either that or you are either hallucinating or playing a different game completely to me

As to my been new to Guild Wars, errr nope, been playing for a while now, hence having completed all 3 campaigns and eye of the north, not to mention the dozens of titles I have (including protector of tyria).

Oooh, how about a wand mastery attribute as well, or how about a focus mastery attribute? Hey, lets go all the way and have armour mastery to.

dont worry Fenrook, people are just joking here...
dont take this thread too seriously as its about a junk build in RA(so what else is new?) actually making glad points(again, so what else is new?) which isnt all that incredible, happens all the time...
just a pure luck stream which isnt too uncommon in RA...
