"You have no prots at all, the mesmer healer has 5 single target heals and will run out of juice really fast, the panic mesmer will run out of juice really fast, the rits will probably run out of energy really fast, and that minion bomber bar could be improved a lot.
And the player bar isn't gonna work with every profession. That will run out of juice in two seconds. Assassin's Promise would help a lot and make it stronger, but a warrior and maybe even a ranger wouldn't be able to run it"
bip does the energy management, so...stop trollin
"It's definitely different, how does it work in HM? Is it rush in "tactics" or have to pull? Do you need to micro manage at all or do they really play themselves that well? Just curious. "
I flag them in to groups....in HM and set back and watch. I sometimes micro key skills, mostly to hurry up the killing. Its also important to note that that skills like Unsteady ground and and Psychic Instability need to cast while while earthbind is still alive.
"you have a easily replaceable bip...minion bar sucks....no splinter weapon with two channels...churning earth can replace whole earth bar...the healer has too many direct heals..no prots....heck even the panic bar is bad."
U can't replace bip that's energy management for the whole party.
That is a standard MM bomber with the exception of Verata's Gaze.. and Vampiric Horror... Both of those skills are self explanatory.
No melee is weapons in the whole group... who exactly do U beleave Splinter weapon is going to go on?
Churning earth ele shines when the melee comes into my party,the other skill are there to blind, damage, slow, and have them miss.
Without the earth ele the whole group would fail in melee heavy areas.
"Anthem of envy works with 1 skill out of every bar.."
Yes... and I make sure those skills (a bit of micro here) is always Spirit rift and/or ancestors rage. And I could not think of anything else USEFULL to put in at the time.
As far as prots go... yeah it could use some... The point of the fake player bar was to show U could run anything. So if your in a harder area that warents more protection; going IMbA, or ST, or Prot, OR Dwayna SY Derv, or Blood Nec, or an earth ele with wards or Emo, or a warrior that spams SY all day.
The general point is in non elite HM missions.. I run with no prots and steam roll through almost the whole game.
Maybe some of you can try a build out before U troll in, and point out why you think it does not work.
