Who Will Continue to Share Solo Builds?

After the recent events, I've decided to no long release solo builds to forums and such. I was just curious of how many of you out there feel the same way. Because you have to admit, if you share a good build, and it becomes popular, its bound to meet the same end as our dearly departed protective bond build. Just curious of everyones sharing habits now. And yes, I know that the build is still useful and how to change a few things to where its still 90% effective as it was, but still, the actions of the devs have shown me the whiners get their way.

I will not be sharing any specifics about a build. I may speak in general terms, but not to the breakdown of attributes, and skill bar. Instead, I would advise folks to experiment, and work at understanding their build better. By doing that, they would beable to tweak theirs to fit their needs.

i doubt anyone will.if i discover one i definetly wont say it to anyone except my rl friends.

Chances are, somebody is going to find a similar one and publish it a week later

Someone sent me a whisper a minute ago. They said they had been speaking to someone i know who had told them about my farming etc.

This stranger then proceeded to ask me to help them with farming.

Apart from being angry at this person i trusted, for talking about me behind my back, i am also annoyed at how this person contacted me, without even knowing me.

"No i will not help you, i don't know you" /ignore

I am looking after myself from now on.

Reporting here is the first thing I will do if I find a new good solo build. Just wait and don't bother to stress your brains. Some people might get headache by using their brains. My only purpose is to help everyone so they don't have to do a thing. Unfortunately you have to read my post to get the needed information. For now, there is nothing I can do to make it easier. Sorry.

Maybe in the future one can upload information directly to other brains so things would be simpler.

.....ummm are you being sarcastic Zakarr? lol I can't tell.....

It doesn't matter if you post it or not. I'm quite sure out of the thousands of other players that play this game, quite a few will have the same or similar build as yours, and eventually one will post it. But even then, it doesn't matter if the build is posted or not, Anet already has the statistics. If they want to nerf a build because it is unbalanced, they will nerf it.

All I can say is keep it to yourself only if you don't want people complaining about it. Which in itself is enough of a reason to keep it secret. As well as Tactical-Delusions' reason, that is you don't want people contacting you for help with your build.

No need to post it, I just run around ToA and spam the build for soloing UW with any profession. No real need to post anything, it slowly moves around and sooner of later everyone has it. I feel everyone should be on equal footing. That way UW/Monks/Farming can get nerfed even more > .

Prot bond was nerfed for entirely different reasons than the solo build. You must not PvP at all.

Dude...I hope your not saying you got owned by monks on prot bond in pvp...cus then you suck

And I think everybody should keep their mouths shut about their builds...its kinda annoying that retards go online and copy/paste builds.

I have never released solo or team builds to anyone but my guild mates. If it owns, it will be copied in an instant anyway.

Looks like you're too late guys.

NEW MO/W build after NERF!

As it stands, my current build is as follows:

-Bonetti's Defense
-Balthazar's Aura
-Protective Spirit
-Healing Breeze
-Zealot's Fire
-Watchful Spirit
-Balthazar's Spirit
-Mending

I have 5 sup runes on me for 105hp

To start off, cast watchful, mend (at 13 healing to get the +4 pips), and balth's spirit. Then rearrange your skill points to look like this:

Healing-8
Smiting-15
Protection-9
Divine Favor-10
Tactics-7

Then, cast prot spirit and zealots and agro 2 to 5 Aatxes. Once bonetti's charges, activate it and balth's aura (so you don't get interrupted, it is best to cast this while under bonetti's). Be sure to keep your prot spirit up by casting it as often as possible. In downtime, spam healing breeze and prot spirit to trigger zealot's fire. When zealot's recharges, activate bonetti's and cast it. The most important thing is to keep prot spirit up, as this is the only thing stopping the Aatxe from killing you.

The grasping darknesses are fairly easy, just remember to go into battle while you have a full energy bar to avoid their energy drain skills. It should not take more than one or two balth's auras to kill them.

Smite crawlers are by far the easiest creatures to kill in the run, and you should have no problem dealing with them as they cannot interupt, have little hp, and dont apply conditions like bleed. Like always, avoid coldfires as they are very hard to kill and are not worth it as they drop crap 98% of the time.

Go make your own and don't post it. Keep rune prices low for people who are new and need one for their healing monk.

Call me cynical, but if anything close to an exploit exsist, I think it should posted and abused to death to increase awarness and therefor, hopefully, increase a timely fix.

Solo builds for PvE are hardly as much of a threat people are making it out to be.
If solo farming isnt exceptable, solo rewards will be nixed or group rewards will be enhanced.
But they arent, so...solo is the way to go as it was and still is after this "nerf" patch.

In this case, secrets are for people that are scared.
It works to good it must be wrong type of scared.
But I dont think there is anything to be afraid of, because solo farming isnt doing anything wrong.

Rofl, you generalize to much. I am saying that if you do not know the problems it did cause then you not been paying much attention. The enchantment was overpowered, any enchantmant that means win or lose, based on whether its removed is broken.
