I'll roll an Ele and run this, because I'm a lunatic.



"Dude, your Necro is missi-"

The blank skill is intentional. It's the best skill 'n the game. It doesn't matter what it does, it costs 0 energy, has 0 cast time, and has 0 recharge. HOW CAN THAT NOT BE THE BEST?! It can't. Double negative. *sunglasses* Deal with it.

"And the first Ritualist is... well... what do you think?"

Someone once said that the Ritualist Bar right there is the ugliest combination since the Hamstorm Warrior. Well friend, I disagree. What would you go 'n do if someone covered in tattoos started summoning ghosts while running at you with a spear, blindfolded and screaming jibberish? Yea. Thought the same thing. Oh and uh... just between you an' me.. Razah gives me the heeby jeebys.

"You realize the irony in the Avatar of Dwayna running around screaming "GO FOR THE EYES!", right?"

Yea, well, I was thinkin' 'bout teachin' 'er the ol' "FOR GREAT JUSTICE!", but Bananazam-

"You mean "Balthazar?"

Yea, whatever.. said he wasn't havin' it. Said somethin' 'bout openin' somethin' called the Fissue of Woe 'nto Nolani Pre-School. Not too sure 'bout what the Fissue of Woe is 'n all, but from the sound of it, I figure we don't need anymore of 'em "Gwen" types runnin' 'round here.

"Right. So, uh.. what about that second Rit there? Shouldn't Rits stick to Spirits?"

We'll I was thinkin' th'other day right after Razah gave me that creepy blank stare for somethin' 'round 20 minutes, that the only thing scarrier than a tattoed freak runnin' 'round half naked summonin' ghosts was a tattoed freak runnin' 'round half naked summonin' ghosts AN' zambies. I mean, a light'll stop ghosts, but zambies gon' go ahead 'n bite yer brains, ya'know?

"Can I have whatever you're on?"

I used ta be on somethin' called "IWAY!", but the great nerfing of 08' took that away n' it hasn't been th' same since. Tried a little BoA, that's Burst of Aggression fer you none ragers, but it leaves ya a lil down after.

"Seriously, what the hell is wrong with you? This build is awful."

What're you tryna say, pal?

"Your Mesmers suck."

You suck.

"You're an idiot."

No you can't.

"That doesn't even make sense!"

No, you.

"... Get out of this thread and take your nonsense builds with you. Go be terrible somewhere else!"

I'll be whatever I wanna do!

Ok...

1. The ER bar. EbsoH is shit, Aegis is shit, Burning Speed can burn in hell, Elemental Lord is meh when you can use another ally--targeting enchant.
3. Dude your necro is missing a skill! And it has Res signet and GoLE?? Is Signet of Lost Souls not good enough for you? And Soul Reaping? kk, is for me.

Two MBs, two soul twistings... Right, and both have 5s recharge Animate skills. There will be alot of fighting over corpses.

Also, Shelter synergises really well with Prot Bond.

It also adds 0 damage and 0 damage reduction.

Q: How would you feel about having a party that you could fill with Heroes?

Our final category proves to be another big positive—50.7% of people say that they “love it,” while 14.4% are between that and “OK,” which comes in at 23.1%. Only 5.7% “hate it like burning,” while the final 6.1% were seemingly indifferent. You can look forward to filling out your party with Heroes as another feature of the free update build that will include Embark Beach.

Give the second Nec Mark of Pain and Barbs.
Give someone on your team Prot Spirit and ideally Aegis.

Your odds for success just rose.

changed it a lot, i'll play as the spirit rit, took the minion bomber out and swapped with a paragon, got splinter weapon in and an earthbind spirit so they stay down after the earthshakers

Lol, it get better every time you post it
The only thing i'd consider to change(but is just personal preference...) is the balance between prots(ER hero+blazing finale and ToF!) and heals(just 5 on last hero and the life steal fron HaO, plus Well and blood bond). There are a lot of resses too.
Still, nice build idea, you should test it just to check that couple of thing that i've noticed...

*Earthbind is pointless. All Warriors should have a Stonefist insignia which increases the KD time to 3 seconds.
*Putting all your spirits up will cost 50e (35e without Earthbind). Spirit Siphon would be good.
*I'm not a fan of Summon Spirits; though I haven't really done much non-farming stuff in HM with my Rit. I'd throw Splinter Weapon in because it's a bit of a waste to be pumping Channeling to 14/16 and not run it. The difference between
[email protected] and [email protected] is actually quite significant.
*Why do you run Essence Strike? It only returns a small fraction of the energy provided by Spirit Siphon and the damage is trivial.
*I'd prefer Convert Hexes over Reverse Hex on the ER. The recharge is 2 seconds longer (12 instead of 10) and it costs 5 more energy but it clears all the hexes.
*Given their recharges, I'd switch Shielding Hands and Vigorous Spirit around on the last two bars.

ok, dumped the pet idea and earthbind, got 2 dervishes instead, split the spirits over 2 guys, toned the healing down a bit, got splinter weapon on myself, double aegis, gave melee shadow stepping as they just jump right into the fight with it and take most of the aggro, hopefully the knockdowns and deep freeze will keep the bad guys together in the dervs aoe

Hellos again 3rd time I think I've posted a build not 100% sure though this one looks great in terms if heroes can use it but we will only find that out when the 7 thing gets released. But in the mean time I have a friend who is going to test this with me tomorrow he will be taking Xandras build and then running all heroes with the builds as posted I'm going to try and do FoW (HM) it has hexes and conditions and plus its fun so will post my results tomorrow at some point so for now here is the build. please discuss and advice is welcome but I may not listen until I've tested my self and the rit builds are similar to the PVP gwpvx build but there also used by the white mantel in WiK.



Thanks again a mad man with a spear

@MissMerryweather:
No Great Dwarf Weapon in Physway?!

@Cthon:
Uh... the characters with Prot Bond on them? I'd rather not risk a lucky strip or knockdown, die, then have my team severely lacking in defense for the rest of the fight. Funny, everyone was totally "ZOMGENCHANTSTRIPS" over in the Ele Damage thread, but they aren't a threat if you're running ER?

@HigherMinion:
Read above. Would rather not risk the death and consequently, a likely party wipe.

Not on a Protective Bond Ele. You have Aura of Restoration and that's about it. Burning Speed if you bring it, but many here seem to be opposed to that. Maybe Spirit Bond if you left Aegis?

So... Aura of Restoration plus one?

Honestly, if you don't think your "situation" can get wrecked quickly with a 1 second Glyph of Swiftness + 1 second Ether Renewal + 1-2 Seconds for covers, I think you need to revisit *your* Ele.

"Let's have the enemy beat on our backline!" has never had any productive results, next to the occasional farm.

Being somewhat new to GW, I can see that I have a LOOOONG way to go before I can remember what all the skill icons are. How do you guys remember them and are there any tips so I can do the same thing?

Back on topic, the source I requested was from back in October which was four or five months ago. Thanks but is there any recent news and is it definite?

3 necros, 3 eles, a VoS/100b warrior, and me, a monk!
...
I don't think I'll have a specific build until it comes out and I can personally mess with it until I'm happy and having fun

Bad answer imo, the real reason why ER Eles are so much less prone to enchant strips is that they can afford to stay out of cast range of the monsters using the enchant strips. They're healers. Offensive Eles have to stay in range to cast their offensive spells.

Of course, implying that you can't Infuse an ally to restore energy because it makes you attract aggro is just plain wrong.
