If you really want to play Ursan in DOA.

Last time I checked (not so long ago, but before the last update) you could still arcanmy mimicry Ursan Blessing itself. No need for oath shot.

Ursan's just need arcane mimicry.
Some one else brings Ursan blessing and doesn't use it. (if he uses it, it's no longer on his skill bar and you cannot mimicry it anymore. This could be a minnion master for example. (they don't need an elite that badly do they ?)

Each time Ursan runs out you mimicry Ursan from the other player and reactivate it. X/me can do it, no attributes needed.

I have not tested it sonce the update, but I didn't see a mention that they changed something that would make this impossible.

Dont try to make ursan builds. Ursan was overpowered in the 1st place and really took away the challenge of the game way. Now that ursan is nerfed people can go back to using real skills. That build wont work anyway. Again dont try to bring ursan back.

just a little problem for [arcane mimicry] = cannot be used while ur skillbar is the ursan one....i tried it out and u cannot mimic anything, cos actually under the ursan blessings u got no elite skill!

It is simpler and faster to form a group this way so maybe this concept will be embraced by lots of people and become the new cookie-cutter... We'll see.

What I see here is that the potential to fail with this build is so much higher than before the nerf (and some PuGs had the ability to screw up basically anywhere in DoA). So perhaps, because this requires at least "some" form of team coordination, you'll start to find more intellegent PuGs around.

or not. lol.

Even after serveral people posted that you cannot mimic Elite Form and, with the update, Ursan is an elite form, many folks still don't seem to get it. You mimic a recharge skill to instantly alow Ursan to come back once you are out of form. Oath Shot is only assured for Rangers, so Assassin Promise could be used for the rest of the classes, but still has risk.

I see there are a number of Ursan haters, which I would say at one point I was a bit of one too. I was one of the first to say ok, press skill 1, 2, 3, 4 and repeat, duh. The real challenge in Ursan was the "Leroy Effect". That is, there seemed to always be this one Ursan that would aggro the whole map or too fast for the monks energy to recover.

I am not necessarily trying to bring back Ursan, I just want a team, call it cookie cutter if you like, that forms quickly and have a high probability of success and is as fast as Ursan. Ursan was less restrictive of character class than most team builds.

I played DOA a lot before EoTN using the traditional trinity team and was one of the first teams to conquor Mallyx after the door glitch was fixed. I played all classes for those teams as well (SB, HB, Bonder monk, Obby, BIP, Ele and Necro) and most often played with folks on Vent or Team Speak. Have played modified Imbagon teams throughout DOA as well as Famine, etc. Soon after EoTN high rank Ursan was introduced, which significantly spead things up, including team formation, as well as allowed many different classes to participate.

I enjoy playing with real people and challenging areas. So as history has shown, you need a build folks can quickly form into or you will be waiting a long time or if you take a "hoj poj" team your chances of success are pretty low. So if you want to revitalize DOA again, we need a build that has a good probability of success, is not too difficult, and allows a wide range of character classes to participate. I see there are folks trying the traditional Sac MS Eleway, Ritway, Cryway, but if you have too many ways then team formation will slow down and availability of players will be limited.
