Have you even used a MS/DB build?

MS/DB does'nt require such hugely dramatic team changes as I've already explained and 99% of human teams welcome a MS/DB spam build especially with perm-SY, very rarely do they need to change their builds because I'm there.

Apparently insane AoE DPS and perma +100 armor is quite attractive to many groups and as stated it's pretty obvious Jebus has a specific build or team build issue if he's not getting the most out of it.

We know what the topic is man, your replies were clearly directed at my specific advice to Jebus on how to better run and enjoy a MS/DB spam build, not the header, and they really hold no water or actual constructive merit in this regard and certainly don't encourage players like Jebus to play one of the best Sin builds in the game.

I'm trying to offer him advice on how to effectively play the build which is what he asked, your just telling him not to play it.

GG

If you don't like the build fine but don't discount it's merits or advice given to others on how to make the most of the build merely because it's not your personal preference or your always playing in teams where it's useless.Your in-game experience and team builds do not discount the awesomeness of DB spam especially when partnered with SY.

I'd go play more HM and...again... attempt to realize my comments regarding DB/MS were directed at one players specific request for comment on his problem using the build, not your tangent into how much you dislike it.

To sum it up, one player does not make a team (unless you Hero & Hench).

Because I have never said MS/DB was a bad build or that I didn't like it, just that the ability the be flexible with it is more important. The only disagreement I've ever had with your statements is that you expect an entire team to change around one build instead of changing the build to match the team. Again, fine if you want to H/H all the time with one build but not practical in the sense of working with people.

So instead of arguing two sides of the same coin lets just agree to disagree on this one and we can stop crapping up this thread.

MS/DB spam is contributing, condition spread and interrupt in all but specific boss areas = fail and is better accomplished by other team members or chucking an appropriate weapon spell on your Rit.

Quote: Originally Posted by Jebus I ran the DB/MS build today on my sin, and I was bored very fast. I usually never got to use MS, as my opponent was already dead, rarely I was able to use DB. Making a chain in PvE thus seems pretty useless to me. Any comments? He's saying he's not even getting to use Moebius, in fact he's saying he can't even get a chain off.

Your suggested solution....add conditions and interrupts.

Firstly I never personally attacked you, contradict much?

Secondly it's easy to try and take the moral high-ground when you edit your post after my response.

don't always run the MM depends on area Your build looks very interesting, but I don't think it'll come out w/enough heals especially in HM. If you could elaborate more ...

Although I probably should find a way to get a snare er something in with all that AoE maybe squeeze something onto the necro and drop spirits. got any suggestions?

I like [[Grasping Earth], but the only bars it has ever found its way on were my own and Jora ([[Earth Shaker]). On your backliner? No idea. [[Deep Freeze]?
