I'm currently doing the portector/guardian titles and I'm pretty fed up with the DSlash/godmode, Eviscerate/Triple Chop and Earth Shaker builds. I'm looking for some fun builds to play, not necessarily the most effective. I'm currently using the flourish scythe build, and it's pretty nice. Sometimes I'm going with a pet (lving a white tiger). Please share your fun builds

... both, essentially, PvP builds and carry skills that probably aren't so useful for PvE - you could get away with dropping Rending Touch for Lion's Comfort or "Save Yourselves!", for example. It's all good.

A steady stancer, with PvE skills.

A pair of Dagger Warriors (yay! )
First is a spiker, hex target with Scan, run through chain and recharge with Flourish.
Second is a Endurance spammer. Use Dwarf Armour for the enchantment to fuel Fox and Fang, and spam away.

Heres a few ideas:

[skill]Forceful Blow[/skill][skill]Fierce Blow[/skill][skill]Heavy Blow[/skill][skill]Crushing Blow[/skill][skill]Tiger Stance[/skill][skill]Enraging Charge[/skill][skill]Lion's Comfort[/skill][skill]Resurrection Signet[/skill]

14 Strength (+4 from enraging)
14-15 Hammer Mastery

Nice spike, but still easy to charge up. Enraging -> hit -> hit -> **Spikes Ready!**

[skill]Signet of Judgment[/skill][skill]Holy Strike[/skill][skill]Hammer Bash[/skill][skill]Crushing Blow[/skill][skill]Irresistible Blow[/skill][skill]Tiger Stance[/skill][skill]Sprint[/skill][skill]Healing Signet[/skill]

14-15 Hammer Mastery
9 Strength
8 Smiting
9 Tactics

This is actually a PvP (well AB anyway ^^) build and might need tweaking for PvE, but might be fun to play around with, I haven't tried it.


[skill]Warrior's Endurance[/skill][skill]Power Attack[/skill][skill]Counterattack[/skill][skill]Victorious Sweep[/skill] ***Whirlwind Attack*** ***Aura of Holy Might*** [skill]Lion's Comfort[/skill][skill]Resurrection Signet[/skill]

16 Strength (+42 Power attack ftw!)
12 Scythe

I haven't used this since the Pious Assault Change, might be worth trying.

Just pick an elite and try and make a build around in.

Yes like Triple Chop, but only a 3 second recharge rather than 10 seconds!

Alex, why are you using mystic sweep if you don't have any enchantments?

Oh, and I'm likely to be enchanted anyway - any monk that isn't a moron has enchants.

Please share your fun builds Glad you got all that out of the way. Threads like these are always a good read. Nice to see what builds others use for fun. Once in awhile you see something nifty.

I think I'm gonna with the W/D Scythe builds a try. Looks rather interesting.

This is a build I tried the other day, was pretty fun.

[skill]Warrior's Endurance[/skill]
[skill]Power Attack[/skill]

***Disarm***

***Distracting Strike***

[skill]Savage Slash[/skill]
[skill]Final thrust[/skill]
[skill]"For Great Justice!"[/skill]
[skill]Lion's Comfort[/skill]
[skill]Resurrection Signet[/skill]

13 Strength
15 Swordsmanship
(These attributes are a rough guide, not sure what they were, basically high strength and swordsmanship.)

Basically you can spam your 1/2 second attack skills to interrupt your target, and also under "FGJ!" you will build up adrenaline pretty fast, great for spamming Final Thrust (YaY!).


[skill]Rage of the Ntouka[/skill]
[skill]Galrath Slash[/skill]
[skill]Silverwing Slash[/skill]
***Body Blow***
[skill]Sun and Moon Slash[/skill]
[skill]Flail[/skill]
[skill]Lion's Comfort[/skill]
[skill]Resurrection Signet[/skill]

14-15 Swordsmanship
13-14 Strength (14 is good for +7a from Rage)

[skill]"Victory is Mine!"[/skill]
[skill]Sever Artery[/skill]
[skill]Gash[/skill]
[skill]Final Thrust[/skill] or [skill]Sun and Moon Slash[/skill]
[skill]Poisonous Bite[/skill]
[skill]Comfort Animal[/skill]
[skill]Charm Animal[/skill]
[skill]Resurrection Signet[/skill]

14-15 swordsmanship
10 Tactics
10 Beast Mastery
(Again not too sure on these but you get an idea of the ratio.)

Nice build if you want to go beastmaster, good heal from "ViM!" and you get over th problem of running out of energy to heal your pet.

I figured it was something like that but wanted to be sure.
