W/Mo Large Melee Group Farmer

Moved: http://www.guildwarsguru.com/forum/s....php?t=3063668

First off, this should be in the farming section.

I hate to say this, but this build is pretty bad. All you need is 8 healing, and instead of using a zealous axe use bonetti's defence.

It's not bad if it works well. The point was to submit something a little different than the standard build everyone knows, and this is easier and quicker as well. The original post stated that.

I agree with Arkantos; this needs improvement, and you really should take Bonetti's Defense. You don't have a shield in this build, or you are carrying one that has 3-8 AL only. Damage prevention is better than healing, and Bonetti's stops 75% and gives you energy. Why NOT use it, as you said, and PREVENT the damage, rather than heal it?

Just a recommendation off the top of my head:

Attributes:

Axe: 16(12+1+3)
Healing: 10(more than you probably need, really)
Strength: 9(8+1)
Tactics:3(2=1)

Skills:
1. Triple Chop [Elite, Factions only]
2. Cyclone Axe
3. Vigorous Spirit
4. Live Vicariously
5. Sprint
6. Bonetti's Defense

Equipment:
Vampiric Axe of Defense/Shelter
Strength requirement shield with damage reduction while enchanted, or -5/20%
Thorgall's Shield works for this

You lost 4 points in healing shifting from 12 to 10, but with a Vampiric weapon, you steal 3, so only 1 point is lost. Also, you will deal more damage with this, thanks to vampiric mod in place of zealous, as well as the increase to Strength, and you receive MUCH less damage, thanks to a shield, Bonetti's Defense, and a defense grip on the axe.

In conclusion, Arkantos didn't flame you; this build is pretty bad.

Good point on the shield, completely slipped my mind. Although the -5 (20%) and Hp+30 on mine were still in effect when I did it, and trolls are easy, so that's probably why I didn't notice.
