Stealing Builds

[goon]

StS build is much like what we have been running, Except a few cool things.

2 Axe Wars (1 with death pact, 1 with shock)
Magebane w/ sloth hunters
Surge mes w/ interrupts+flesh
Bsurge/ward ele w/ mantra of concentration <--- this is pretty amazing i have no idea why we dont do this.

They have no mirror, which i think we might need to run these things.

Another thing im seeing are warriors pressuring shit all day on their own. its like the ranger is assasting war 1 and the mes is assisting war 2.

i think running 2 axe warriors will suit us better because of the way our gvg tactics are called.

I'm all for stealing builds. The build we've been running is already very cookie-cutter but we could definitely alter it to something more "specific" like this.

2 axe warriors is something I've already been considering and I was going to suggest it at our next gvg.

The problem with the Magebane is that we have no snares as it is - losing the crip might hurt us. But if we are really struggling with the Aegis it's worth a shot.

As for the BSurge, we've been running hex breaker. I don't know what's more of a threat, the interrupts or the diversions.

aye, we don't have to EXACTLY this, but they have some good ideas when you compare this build to ours.

I'm all for running cripshot over magebane. ive always liked it better.
double hard rez is good imo, i think we should run it.
double axe should at least be tried a couple games.

Diversion is less of a threat than interrupts. an ele should have little trouble watching a mesmer for incoming diversions, while interrupts are way harder to prepare against without mantra of conc.

About the monk bars, i don't really know. theres no aura of stability and no hard heals. i guess theyre better than what we've been running, since theyre not dying.

comments?

[Cid]

They're probably not dying because they have more synergy/better offense. I think the monks should just fool around and find out what works best for them. And by them I mean like, Goon, since you're the only official monk now.

We'll give double axe a try. Double hard res too. And we can swap in Mantra of Conc on the ele.

[mxf]

I like the double axe idea, I mentioned it a couple of days ago when we were gvging. I'm kind of iffy on the double hard res (at least with dpact) until we get better at the whole survival thing, but its something worth trying out.

how to split? I'd say BA with pin down or pure Cripshot rather than sloth hunter magebane.
