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.

The difference with this build, and x3 earthshaker is that this actually dispatches of those torment demons fairly efficiently. give it a spin before you judge it. :P

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?

@EFGJack

just to move from mindless discord spamming on my mes

btw how do you keep them alive? mhenlo + lina? Mhenlo and Lina, correct. word of advice though: it's not the easiest build to play and it may take a while until you can play it with success in a HM setting. Consider using Blood Bond for added healing.
And to OP: this might be something you're looking for - http://pvx.wikia.com/wiki/Sabway

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

And nowhere did I say this build is going to be the new meta in between dipshits who are having a hard time figuring out how to 1-4 after ctrl+c ctrl+v'ing a build from PvX.
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. jonnieboi05

Uhm... Gate of Madness and Raisu Palace are among some of the easier missions in Guild Wars. /shrug
To be perfectly honest Tiger Stance is complete sh!t. :\ And you neglect having a Minion Master hero? Oh my... 9tails
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. EFGJack

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. Rainstorm13 EFGJack

And as for the OP, switch either the Resto Nec or the ER to something else that can provide more damage. A SoS Rit or SS Nec work well. Me bad? Why so funny mate? Read my previous posts for insight & clarification. syphonus

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. 9tails
I like Flail for w/* heroes. The snare is survivable; what are they going to do, act even dumber?

That's the idea. Supposedly the AI was updated to use rush/sprint to cancel, don't know for sure because I haven't tried. But the snare from Flail isn't survivable, without it.
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. Sethellington Neo Atomisk
those warrior bars make me cry.
I give you props for the concept, though. TalanRoarer
As you didn't specify what you're running, I suggest you take a look at this:
http://pvx.wikia.com/wiki/Special:PvXDecode?title=Special%3APvXDecode&wpBuil d=OAdTY0D7RySYBKVcXMRQopMYtEA&wpName=Mark+of+Pain+ Nuker&Go=Submit+Query Works well with 2x these: http://pvx.wikia.com/wiki/Special:PvXDecode?title=Special%3APvXDecode&wpBuil d=OgkjcxZrpRMG4a8aqGfhwGXYybA&wpName=R%2FP+Dual+Sh ot+Spike&Go=Submit+Query On the second ranger, swap Anthem of Envy for GFTE. Keybind the Dualshots and you're laughing. It does work with 3 R/P, but I prefer to use 2x R/P and a Minion bomber. |
