I have been wondering where Anet came up with all the various builds for the different Peacekeepers all of a sudden which were added for the Obey & Dissmantle Chain of events (to come sometime in the near future... within the next 5 years at least).

The AotL Grim Peacekeeper looks just about identical to a necro build I had entered into that contest;

(3rd one from the top of the list is the one I mean)
Aura of the Lich Necromancer

18 Blood Magic, 20 Death Magic in Hard mode

* Animate Vampiric Horror
* Aura of the Lich (elite)
* Blood Bond
* Dark Bond
* Death Nova
* Verata's Gaze
* Vile Miasma

Has anyone else seen a build on one of the peacekeepers which they had entered into the Henchmen contest, or is it just coincidence that Anet just happens to have used the same build.

The other two builds for that necro no-one would have even considered until last (previous?) month's updates. Same with all the seeping wound etc. No I'd say aotl + minions + random death skills is not the most original thing and they did the same. I'm sure many other people's builds will line up for the same reason.

N/

virtually all the peacekeeper builds (perhaps all of them) came directly from PvX

edit: I just took a look. Most of the Peacekeepers only have 6 skills or so, and of course don't have PvE skills, so that makes their ressemblance to PvX builds tenuous.

Honestly, I thought all the Peacekeepers builds were from the Henchman contest/stolen from PvX. I didn't really give it a second thought.

Dont get me wrong, this isnt a QQ thread in the form of "OMG I entered a build and I WANTZ mai EL Peaskeeper TONIXZ". (although the addition of an EL Goon would be a laugh as the name fits the look pretty well). I am not even saying that that particular build is exactly the one I entered... just similar (ie "just about identical").

I was just wondering where 20 or 30+ builds for the peacekeepers came from all of a sudden, especially that close after a contest to find skillbars for henchies. Many of the rejects (including a pretty obvious MM build that cant really be any good for small team PvP) are still stored in some database and might as well get used some how.

I coppied something just for you from Wikipedia;

After you had read that and the last post of mine you might want to think about reading the whole thread the next time (especially as the thread was only 5 posts long before you posted ) if you dont want to make a complete Jackdonkey out of yourself with lame trolling attempts.
