Me/E Machine Gun Warder

Adding to the above thread, I wanted to post a great PvP Energy Denial build I came to create. Works well as a shutdown.

14 - Domination [ 10+1 (Mask) +3 Sup Rune ]
14 - Inspiration [ 10+3 Sup Rune ]
11 - Fast Casting [10+1 Minor Rune ]

Skills:

Signet Of Weariness
Energy Burn
Energy Surge
Signet Of Humility
Leech Signet
Mantra Of Inscriptions
Res Sig
Open Skill Slot - I like to use diversion, you can spam it and since you are primarily using signets, there is a lot of room for energy. Shatter Enchantment/Shatter Hex can work well also. Possibly Spirit Shackles for Rangers/Wars. Whatever you prefer. I noticed (well i think) they changed diversion to 3 second cast, which kicks your ass.

I know the build is lacking HP and self defence --- but with a good Boon/Prot Monk, you should be good to go. I more commonly use the build in TA, and it works well. Try it out, and lemme know what you think, any complaints, comments, suggestions....feel free to lemme know.

-Mesmeric Almost identical to the build I run, this is very effective. Only differences is I prefer 11 + 1 insp rather than 11 + 3 (you've got an error there, you've put 10(11*) + 3 insp).

As for the last slot, mind wrack is devastating to all targets and removes the tactics of switching to -energy gear to evade eBurn. You can easily take on the enemy TA monk and drop him without a chance of survival, unless the enemy team focuses on you.


I've made my stance on fastcast nukers known, I feel they're an abomination against nature (sorry Chris_nin00, if you ever read what I say )... but fastcast wards / earth armors are cool. Problem is, as a main source of damage, stone daggers is about as effective as coughing towards the enemy... 40 damage to unarmored casters, 34~ to monks with elem resisting armor, horribly low versus warriors. Sure, the build is near-invulnerable, but chances are you're the last one left, and how is sitting in a shell of +120 armor and wards really different from running?

Regardless, fastcast-ele builds are always fun to play, and this doesn't look too bad.

I came up with this last night, and it did fairly well in RA.

Mantra of Recall (my only elite, I know it needs something better here)
Stone Daggers (main source of damage)
Kinetic Armor (can be kept up infinitely unless stripped)
Armor of Earth (with Kinetic, you hardly take any damage at all)
Ward Against Melee (More protection for you and group)
Earth Attunement (Self-explanatory)
Channeling (Since you're in the middle of the battle with warriors around you, this helps feeding the machinegun)
Resurrection Signet (Self-explanatory) You could try Water, too... this is very close range oriented

Hex Breaker (you could put an interrupt here instead)
Ice Spear (better damage, shorter range)
Frozen Burst (big damage pbaoe and kiting tool)
Ice Prison (helps your warrior assist train to kill, or you to kite)
Armour of Mist (defence boost +33% speed boost in one)
Ward Against Harm {E}
Channeling (Ice Spear + Frozen Burst + Ward are all nice and close...)
Resurrection Signet
