Spirit Stregnth Rit/??

Use this (with consumables is godly)
100ish/50ish damage in Pve = Nada

What do you suggest then? 150 or more. (I'm talking about play in hm here btw, in nm 100ish damage is repectable)

150 or more. (I'm talking about play in hm here btw, in nm 100ish damage is repectable) I think that was a request/challenge to provide a build that sustainably produces big enough damage to make 100 look like "nada." Which is something I'd like to see too.

I'd also really like to see a build (other than the SS/VoR/Empathy/Backfire mechanic) that goes from 100 damage in NM to 150 in HM.

I haven't tried it yet but I'm thinking of trying it haha. I tried a Spirit Wand build in PvP a while back and it failed so bad I cried. This version at least has more damage. I haven't tried elemental spears, but I'll give 'em a shot. Why not lol.

I'd also really like to see a build (other than the SS/VoR/Empathy/Backfire mechanic) that goes from 100 damage in NM to 150 in HM. Easy, in the screen shot, the player did 100ish damage with 2 characters: himself and his hero.(or she and her hero)

My example:[Mind Wrack] [Echo] [Cry of Pain] [Character 1]
[Echo] [Cry of Pain] [Character 2]

400 armor ignoring damage right there.

It totally sucks. NEVER EVER F***ING POST YOUR BUILDS VERTICALLY.
It just impossible to read. Stop that crap.

Oh and the build really sucks. 3 weapon spells are completely wasted and you will not have enough mana to use your attack skills often.
You are also missing a +3 rune. Life doesn't really matter that much in PvE, the +2 on Spawning for more damage do matter. Never play PvE without a +3 rune (for PvP it's the opposite). Alright, dont need that language =P

3 Wep spells may be much, unless you know which ones to use.
(and btw,the build doesnt suck)
For what you have, drop out Wep of Agression, not really needed. Toss in [Wep of Renewal] (EotN Skill. Att: Spawning Power) it will help with any energy problems, its not a solution to it, but it will help. Also, when you get your bow set up, always use a zealous bow, that will help out a lot also.

Try that out. If your willing to sacrifice Spirits Strength though, try running [Splinter Weapon] + [Volley] and [Offering of Spirit] toss in [Triple shot] and [Nightmare Weapon] with 16 channeling and you have one of the higest damage outputs in the game. (Did urgoz with 6 rits like tihs, went under 25 mins)

Good luck.

P.S: Life DOES matter in PvE, if it didnt everyone would be running around with Sup runes on every attribute, and, you know, its pretty hard to do things dead.

Hmmm are we in the "Mesmer ~ PvE abuse"-subforum? If you wanna find someone to blame, blame Chthon. He challenged me to make a build with the ONLY condition that it does 150+ armor ignoring damage. And so I did.

He never said NOT to use this and that.

My example:[Mind Wrack] [Echo] [Cry of Pain] [Character 1]
[Echo] [Cry of Pain] [Character 2]

400 armor ignoring damage right there. [arcane echo] [ray of judgment]
512+ armor ignoring damage

PWNT!
Plus heroes can use it!
You could easily have over nine hundred damage in the matter of 5-10 seconds if you have someone tanking!

As for the topic itself, I figure in a spirit's strength build, splinter weapon might be hard to manage since SS does not take much effect effect since SW goes away once used. So you would have to have another weapon recharged.

Has anyone tried an axe SS build using AOE attack skills?
