Paragon Hero: MoP support.

Why do you have in the Paragon MoP support 5 points in Wilderness Survival??, putting points in a line that you don't have a single skill in the build is pointless and useless, spend those points in Spear Mastery or Leadership. In the defense ritualist I suggest replace Signet of Creation for Spirit's Gift or another utility skill, with the buff of the ritualist spirits is better have a utility skill there . I hope this will help you Oops, my bad. I have left stats untouched after Duncan run. By default, the points would have been assigned to Spear.

Regarding Signet of Creation:
- 0 mana.
- in order to fully benefit from strong spirit protection, all 3 protection spirits need to be put up as soon as possible, and then Armor of Unfeeling must be cast
0.75 + 1 + 0.75 + 1 = 3.5s casting
3 x 0.75 = 2.25s aftercast
So the basic combo takes 5.75s... that means you get Meteor Shower or something else nasting going on.

With signet of protection, this time is shortened to 4.35 (signet + aftercast + Armor of Unfeeling).
What's more important, once the spirits are gone, thanks to Reclaim Essence, the hero can almost immediately put them in play again. This is a huge boost if you're fighting HM elementalists (Drought, for example) or if you need to survive prolonged battle (Duncan HM).

At least, that's the impression I have after testing with and without Signet of Creation.

I'm saying; if Rumere is running a MoP, and wants to get the most out of the skill; get atleast one more physical hero. And the buffs from Paras are rather helpful. Yes, but the para is more useful as a Anthem of Envy spammer. Without a tank, anyway, you wouldn't be able to group them up, since they are staggered, and so MoP wouldn't be all that great in duncan HM.

I generally don't have to ball, there are times when mobs run into eachother, and this is when you attack.

Also, I would never have considered to do this mad dungeon h/h.

Agreed.

The hidden strength of double (or even single) Xinrae's Weapon is that it damages opponent in addition to healing. While E/Mo Protter works hard to prevent or decrease damage, Xinrae's Weapon does both and more.
Of course, by itself the skill does not suffice, but with some additional support spells it works great.

Regarding Order of the Vampire, I have found it a bit long on casting time side. While it is effective, I like the crucial spell to take as little time as possible, since it's hard to predict when AOE (or target's demise) will cause our physical to stop attacking and start running.

Oh, and one thing more, Soothing Memories is an overkill spell for the first build. It's not really necessary there - replace it with anything you feel like using... Good replacements:
- Foul Feast
- Spirit Transfer

Ruemere I would have to disagree about Xinrae's weapon. It's a bit like Reversal of Fortune and Reversal of Damage mixed into one skill. It lasts one attack only, which doesn't really appeal to me as an elite skill.

You like your elite skills to be quick casting, I prefer mine to be in effect for as long as possible. I run my OoV/resto build with a 20% ench and 20/20 blood mod.

Much more useful life steal and party-wide.

My edits are highlighted. This is what I would run; but remember, it's what I'd run in a 2+ player party, h/h i've not tested it. Good changes. I'd also drop FF (heroes will go FF->MBAS ftl). If you have a spirit spammer, MBAS is just better and you wont be able to spam all your skills anyway.

And MBAS stands for? MBAS = Mend Body and Soul

MBAS = Mend Body and Soul Ah right, well why not just say that,

i r nab. Yeah, you can get rid of FF then, for whatever you want, really. Remember no other necro enchants. Sometimes also your MB might plant Death Nova on a physical or two and that can be annoying.

Dark Fury is excellent for an adrenaline-heavy team. I've been running a N/Mo with WoH, Dark Fury, Order of Pain, FF, Plague Sending and a few other skills that I can't remember off the top of my head with my imba and para heroes, to replace the old Racway D/N healer/support. I've started taking hex removal on her too too, as I've become thoroughly fed up of complete shutdown in the form of Vocal Minority and Soothing Images.

It won't work with your current build but you might want to give it a try as an alternative sometime. I've used it in the past, and OoV is alot easier to maintain for the hero, and being just one spell, there won't be any confusion with the AI.

If the team's Save Yourself maintainer has 6 second SY, adren pumping shouldn't be necessary. Besides, mark of Fury does the job well enough.

It won't work with your current build but you might want to give it a try as an alternative sometime. Two 17% sac skills is very taxing on a hero. Worse yet is that the hero is supposed to be a healer. When under heavy pressure, its going to be the first to go. I recommend just using a Order of the Vampire hero with alot of rit heals. I find this to be more effective as there is only 1 sac skill, the rit heals are strong, and the the life gain helps ease the need for healing on the healer.

Convert hexes is awesome against Soothing Images and Vocal Minority. I use it on necroes when in areas such as NF desolation where such skills are common.
