User:Birchwooda Treehug/bison arena

Description
Bison Arena using a build for N/R as well as R/N with skills of the following kinds: Norn, Ebon Vanguard, Necro Sunspear, Ranger. A hearty pet is of advantage as the pet is used to tank too. A dire pet must be resurrected more often.

Template Code
Copy & paste Ranger: OgQSY5LTcG2k1S7i3g6G0GbG Necro: OAJSYYLTcG2k1S7i3g6G0GbG

Usage
Cast Call of Protection before battle starts. At zero countdown approach the enemy directly and cast 2-5 quickly in order. Wait with Ferious Strike until target is poisoned (cast Necrosis in between and whenever possible). Use that elite whenever it is recharged again. Don't heal your pet. Let it die and quickly resurrect it. Use the assassin for knockdown and as shield too when it is available again. Keep in mind that the 1st skill of the assassin knocks a foe when it suffers from a condition. Also keep in mind Necrosis only deals dmg when the foe suffers from a condition. Don't bother to try to interrupt the signet of Magni, just re-apply poison when he removes it. You must interrupt his bearform at the beginning (which isn't that difficult), else you're doomed.

Testchars
Ranger / Necro Beast Mastery: 16, Expertise: 13 Rank Norn: 2, Rank Vanguard: 2, Rank Sunspear: 7 Weapon: Staff Energy: 40 Pet: Dire (420 hp)

Necro / Ranger Beast Mastery: 12 Rank Norn: 9, Rank Vanguard: 6, Rank Sunspear: 10 Weapon: Staff Energy: 50 Pet: Hearty (540 hp)

As the necro has higher ranks and the better pet for this, he finishes the foes off faster than the ranger. But as my ranger also managed to get through the tournament a couple of times, low ranks and low hp pet will work too.

Time Table
Ranger and Necro both ran the tournament 10 times each. Except for one run with failure vs. Alesia, all rounds went till Magni (in one round gw crashed in the final fight). One failure vs. Magni as his bear form wasn't interrupted. failure = I died Ranger = light green Necro = dark green
