Balth aura and zealots fire: casting breeze, bonetti's, spirit, zealots and balth aura as soon as they recharge for maximum damage.

Kudos people, this thread is informative yet not as easy to follow to the weak minded ie: copy/paste newbs.
I like the way everybody works together as a team to figure out a good build under current circumstances.

Speaking of which: I gathered up the following:
-With Bal. Spirit and no Prot. Bond there is no need now to have Blessed Signet and maybe Bonetti's, according to some people.
-Zealot's Fire is back to its former glory being now more effective in comparison with SoJ.
-There's no need to have Watchful spirit, as long as you have Zealot's and H.Breeze equipped. L13 Mending is still a big help though.

OK, so, I'm one of those that think Bonetti's still has a use here blocking attacks and preventing interrupts, but tbh it's the only skill that's attaching me to Warrior seccondary. Is there anything similar yet more efficient that let's say a mesmer or necro secondary can use?..

Is there a single way to do with without the Bonettis..?

Say like a necro/monk. It's possible. Not nearly as good. But it works.

Bal's Spirit, Heal Breeze, Prot Spirit, mending. And then for damage.

Dark Aura, Dark Pact, touch of agony/some other sac life skill.

max smite, enough heal for +4 mending and the rest in protect. Aggro the aataxes, kill them all then get the Q and aggro the creeps.

Edit: Nevermind, its just as easy to aggro everything as before, just takes a bit more practise. Here

Heh sry but its different. Your proposition is to put "the rest in protection" and i think protection is not as important in this bulid becouse u re spaming protection spirit anyway--> thats why i posted this set up. There re no attrubite points left also

i see no reason not to put the rest in protection, with that level healing u get the max +bonus from breeze, you already have the max smite and mending is at +4 anyway, therefore the builds are essentially the same.

Ok so ill show U the reason Points in healing re giving me nothing besides +x secs to healing breeze (same as points in protection for prot spirit). Im spaming both of these skills (so it doesnt matter as much how long they last) and when i get 8 points in divine whenever im casting prot spirit etc im healed for 26 (thats almost half of what i have) so... i can fight more monsters at the same time so.... runs re taking me less time to do soo.... im earning more ectos per hour

Okay but either way, your build is only different 'cos you heal more, i dont die so essentially theyre the same.

First you need the -50 Hp focus item from the cities of ascalon quest which you get from Symon the Scribe in, you guessed it, ascalon city. Then set up ur skillbar as stated above, and attributes as stated above. then its just a matter of practise. oh, remember u need 5 SUPERIOR monk runes aswell.

whats the point since the prot bond was nerfed? i find that balth spirit is still highly useful, zealots fire has def regained its former status, but im still unsure about bonettis? is it really that useful?im kinda put of by warrior, cus im investing skill points into a secondary that im only using for one skill!

worked fine for me. Cleared smites, left Coldfires on this run. Only trick is before your first fight, otherwise was cake. Next round Im gonna ditch Ess Bond and bring Blessed Sig probably.

I run at 55 hp and I use a Furious (10%) Spiked Axe of Enchanting (19%) which keeps me in Adren and enchantments.

Watchful
Balt Spirit

Blessed Signet

Notes: 3 Aataxes is the magic number, up to 6 squids or smites. You can do more if you want to but you are doing almost peak solo dmg so they die pretty fast. I suggest casting SoJ *before* aggroing squids, and using Blessed Sig only between fights.

Equip: Zealous Spiked Axe of Enchanting / -50 hp idol.

Coldfires are still untested by me w/ this build.

With the "Therm" attribs (higher smite) I was able to readily kill all mobs. I don't use zealots tho I use SoJ - So my damage comes from SoJ + Balth Aura. Take all Aataxes first, then add quest and kill all Darknesses. The combo of Aataxes + Darknesses is most difficult but the more you do it the easier it gets. I like the high smite build as you do most damage and get thru mobs quickest.

I use a (6% Furious) +5E Sword from Denravi with (20% Enchant) - with the 55 HP build. (Added Furious and Enchant mods to Denravi sword)

Yup, it's all still cake. Soloed all Aataxes, Smites, Squids, and Coldfires no problem. Made a minor tweak to the above,and I think I got all the points right:

H:--13-----11

I find bonneti's important coz it helps you a lot for energy... sometimes I got energy under 10 and prot spirit ending, then I use bonneti's and can cast it, it save me

Bonetti's isnt neccessery but it helps when casting the spells as aataxes savage slash can be avoided if you use bonetti's. Also the extra energy is nice.

Hmmm, I have tried a Mo/Me build using Mantra of Resolve to avoid interrupts. It worked finely against Aataxes, but the Darknesses drained my energy too much without Bonnetti's Defense, making it impossible to keep both Breeze and Spirit on me.

Newborn here...

I'm going to try this build (from the OP), but I'll have to make some changes.

Currently I'm a Mo/E build but I'm certain I'll need new weapon and armour to make the biggest changes.

Please let me know what I need to do to this build to make it decent.

Thanks in advance, guys.
