Team Build: Markway / Physway 7H

If anything I would change the thunderclap hero, just tried a simple luxon VQ and didn't get the impression this bar helped a lot, while I could see the water ele freezing foes.
I'm gonna try watertrident next instead of shatterstone. How did you find the overall survivability/massive damage power of the team? Obviously the role of damage comes from Splinter/MoP and the dervs, so the main point of the eles are support. I argree Air could be changed to Panic or eSurge since I already have Cracked Armour coming from Aura Slicer and Domination has better rupts... I can take Shatter Hex and *try* and slot NS/FB, if attributes permit.

So, any comments on the ER smite bar?

So, any comments on the ER smite bar? Looks ok. I love enchantments when I am working with my derv because of windwalker so try reverse hex instead of remove hex.

Looks ok. I love enchantments when I am working with my derv because of windwalker so try reverse hex instead of remove hex. If I'm going to have two hex removals only, for two melee characters, I want short recharges. That's what I was thinking. There are enough enchants for Windwalkers to do their bit. SoH and Sand Shards maintained. There is also the choice of swapping Radiant Scythe for Zealous Renewal.

You want at least 4 enchantments to be active at the same time for max windwalker armor boost. Otherwise you can just go with blessed insignia. This is partly why I recommended bringing an ER and Orders. ER synergizes with enchantments with orders also acting as enchant cover for the common enchant removers.

You can also bring spells like Blood Bond on your Orders. If you want more skill with enchantment synergy you can try to fit in Dwayna's Kiss or Signet of Removal, not necessary but nice to have.

So, any comments on the ER smite bar? 1. Zealot's Fire now that fire damage does something?

2. Despite the recharge difference, I favor Convert Hexes since it clears the whole stack.

In other news, there was an AI update. Makes me wonder about maybe using Double Dragon or Stone Sheath to reinforce the dervs.

After trying ER in a few VQs, it's alot weaker than ST. You lose bodies, you are weakened heavily by ER downtime; the AI facks up more, etc. Using it to maintain SoH and carry Remove Hex was the only reason I wanted it. Apparently +2 regen isn't enough. Zzzz. Too bad the ER didnt work out for you. For some reason, the ER worked out better for me than your ST rit. At least with the ER, I can micro PS if I needed to. On the other hand, I noticed that your rit's Shelter undergoes recharge sometimes and that messes with my protection.

On the other hand, I am liking the Stone Shealth ele that I am bringing along.

On the other hand, I am liking the Stone Shealth ele that I am bringing along. Consider the reason you require Stone Sheath the fact Prot Spirit cannot be everywhere. The problems I was having with PS and not Shelter was the buff to Shatterstone and Mind Burn were both raping my party when I didn't space out enough. I didn't have that problem with ST, and as Xeno points out, you get at least two uses out of ST before it may or may not, depending on if you attempt to micro, fall into recharge. I have 4 spirits on the bar now; Displacement, Shelter, Pain and Disenchantment. Having replaced Ice Spikes with Blurred Vision (because MoI is the only snare I will ever need), Shadowsong is pointless and it now is another energy skill, as it was lacking before. Now it's safer and you can easily micro those two spirits you need and precast ST for the battle.

What you can't do with PS is maintain it on everyone; you have to spread around and waste time flagging everything. Also, Thought Destroyers strip enchants fast; very dangerous to depend on ER in those high-end areas where prots matter.

What are you using on your Stone Sheath build? It sounds like a wasted slot to me; minor damage and mitigation capabilities... So you can have Churning Earth, Obsidian Flame and Stone Sheath...
