Let's say that I'm rocking it H/H style with my necro, working through the last parts of Nightfall, and I'm really wishing I had more damage output to chew through those painfully thick Torment demons a little more efficiently.

I'm currently running Vekk as an ER Infuser, Whispers as a MB, and Olias as an experimental SoS/resto N/Rt to see how much damage+healing I can squeeze out of him ([pre][build=OAhjYohq4OXTvpjbYKNHnEvkLA][/pre]). The henchies in question, if it matters, were Sogo, Herta, Mhenlo, and Khim. I fill in with the usual Curse support and Necrosis.

Too much healing? It doesn't seem to me like dropping Mhenlo for someone else would necessarily be a big win; I'm not sure who I'd take that wouldn't end up way out ahead of everybody else as a melee and getting OMGWTFPWN'd.

If you want more damage in a unique way, try a build similar to this:



It should have no trouble in Normal Mode missions and explorable areas, and it's perfectly capable of clearing most (if not all) of the missions in HM

You could change skills around to fit By Urals Hammer & Ebon battle standard of honor, my mesmer doesn't have those skills though.

If I were going to do that, I'd give in to my recent urge to run an x3 Earthshaker build, with Devona.

Could I request that this thread stop its current trend in the direction of a flame fest and return to some of my original concerns?

I've played with Sabway. It works ok, I'm playing with alternatives.

OP asked for a build that does more damage than the one he pasted and that's what I gave him. :P

Troll rating 3/10 though.

To be perfectly honest Tiger Stance is complete sh!t. :\ And you neglect having a Minion Master hero? Oh my...

And what exactly did you gain by posting this?

I posted asking for advice in effective hero building. Pointing out that a particular skill is bad is more or less exactly on-topic both for the thread and the forum.

And Tiger Stance is kinda bad.

And Tiger Stance is kinda bad. I know the professions and the skills that are available to them, you do not have to explicitly state if one skill has a better alternative.

That said, your skillbar is just plain bad. I'm assuming it's a joke; there really aren't any redeeming qualities to it other than you somehow managed to get MoP on there.

For your heroes at least, Tiger's Stance isn't a bad IAS at all. It's the only one I would use.

I like Flail for w/* heroes. The snare is survivable; what are they going to do, act even dumber?

EDIT: Clarification-- Monsters in HM respond to IMS/DMS. They see 3 wars moving under Flail, they kite. What's worse, they change targets and attack your backline uncontested.

those warrior bars make me cry.
I give you props for the concept, though.
