Optimizing Physicalway

Well, clearly with UW the best way to optimize your team is to drop something for a A/E(or 2) who will run around and pop reapers. We did do that on two occasions, and lost 30 minutes to our time. However, we've not tried since the nerf; I don't know if it's still possible.

if you take restore early 2 good sin will pop their reapers(if you split 2 each) before the first conset end, even after the nerf.

Edit:

The assassin attack fast, and only generally have Save Yourselves to charge with adrenaline, it's fine not to take Dark Fury. But even if you were to take OoP/DF, a necromancer would still be better than the ele or derv for, atleast for me, are obvious reasons.

There are two ERs so you can decide on either of two options; Bond 4 players each, or bond all 8 together. Also provides more GDW and enchantments. Ok, I understand what u mean. As mentioned, I don't run physical myself (only joined 2 times, both with D/N). The reason with DF is that we had an earth shaker in the team, which is KD almost every sec. Found that very helpful, and thinks thats a must have.

For order part, I was just worrying about energy as OOP+DF = 20en every 5 secs + the new blood bond + 3-4*SoH if run N/Mo, that seems very energy intense. I'll take your words tho, cuz u seems much more exp on this than me

IMO defensive communing rits are better than imbagons for ally protection, and they can easily fit in a high level earthbind. Also, the spirits affect all allies, including reapers, whereas imagon shouts are limited to the party.

I believe the skill bar would look something like

soul twisting
shelter
displacement
union
earthbind
armor of unfeeling
summon spirits
signet of creation/boon of creation

16 communing and 15 spawning power

higher attribs are probably better since you can pretty much hide in the back, and shelter will save you anyway

My rit is outfitted this way atm and he has allegiance title maxed so he would be perfect for the task *wink* *wink* Another layer of defence would be overkill; already having a spirit wall, Save Yourselves*4 and Prot Bond. Earthbind lasts for a good enough time at 9 communing.

I think the only thing lacking is constant hex/condition removal; which isn't always necessary anyway. But when AoE blind is involved, you'll wish you had it.

the defensive spirits replace the imbagon We don't use an imbagon. We generally use melee characters, who are later buffed with Strength and Honour. Neither a rit nor a paragon can make use of SoH, and therefore it's either SoH or the para/rit.

I'd choose the extra damage, personally.
