User:Cheese Slaya/Saving My Builds

HI! My builds that will be purged are here so they never die.

1.

This build is used to farm Chkkr Thousand Tail by using Beast Mastery and the Enraged Lunge skill to farm Chkkr's Flatbow.

Attributes and skills

 * Poisonous Bite for more DPS.
 * Brutal Strike for increased damage.
 * Symbiotic Bond just incase your pet is attacked.

Equipment

 * Full Druid's Armor with a Tamer's Mask.
 * A Totem Axe or Rajazan's Fervor for the extra 5 energy (you could also use a Rotwing Recurve Bow). Any offhand item with at least +9 energy (but make sure it doesn't reduce your energy regeneration.)

Usage
Start from Saint Anjeka's Shrine and head out into Drazach Thicket. You may get the Kurzick Blessing if wanted, but it is not needed. Start running along the right wall, careful not to aggro the Dragon Mosses (these will be there only if you have the "A New Escort" quest), and keep on that wall until you run into the edge of the cliff looking into the small "valley." There will be a group of Mantises inside the "valley" so wait for them to leave before moving on. When the Mantises move, look straight ahead into the group of Dragon Mosses(if you have the quest). You should see and group of Wardens moving forward toward you, so wait for them to leave and quicky sprint down (using Run as One) towards the wall of the large mountain. Be careful, if you venture too far to the right, a group of Oni may spawn. Stay near the wall for your health to regenerate. When your health is full, run around the wall towards Chkkr, once again being careful to avoid the Dragon Mosses (if you have the above quest). Here you will cast both of your pet shouts. Run towards him until he starts to attack you, then slowly retreat behind the wall again so he can't hit you with his arrows. Once you are sure that your pet isn't taking any damage, start your pet attack chain. Use both of your pet attacks, and while they are recharging, use Enraged Lunge. You also may like to use Run as One while using your pet chain just in case only your two pet shouts are recharged (Enraged Lunge counts as its own recharging skill), to get the full damage bonus. With high Expertise this chain can go on for almost forever. Once he gets past about half health, he will start to use Troll Unguent much more often, so make sure you have Disrupting Lunge recharged to disable it (if you choose to bring it). If done correctly, you can kill Chkkr before your Call of Protection regenerates. Pick up all drops and repeat.

Counters
If Chkkr attacks your pet, then keep spamming all of your pet healing skills and pet attacks until the pet dies (hopefully this won't happen). Make sure Chkkr keeps attacking you, and use Comfort Animal to revive your pet. Then restart your attack chain, making sure to use Enraged Lunge while your other attacks are recharging. Note: Make sure to keep staffing/shooting Chkkr. If you keep staffing him he will stay focused on you.

Variants
If you do bring Symbiotic Bond, then I suggest switching Comfort Animal for Troll Unguent and moving all your excess points to Wilderness Survival. This is to heal yourself because your pet is sharing your health.

Attributes and Skills

 * Mending Touch can be used instead of "For Great Justice!", obviously, this requires you to go /Mo, put the remaining attributes into Protection Prayers. It helps to get rid of an untimely Blind or Cripple.
 * Enraging Charge can be replaced by "To the Limit!" or "You Will Die!" to be used directly after "Coward!".
 * Sun and Moon Slash is also a viable alternative.
 * It is generally a good idea to replace Healing Signet or "For Great Justice!" for a Resurrection Signet.

Equipment

 * Superior Absorption, Vigor, correct runes.
 * Stonefist Insignia, also with Survivor Insignias.
 * A Perfect Sundering Sword of Fortitude with the "Strength and Honor" inscription.
 * A Perfect Zealous Sword of Fortitude with the "Strength and Honor" inscription.
 * A Tactics Shield of Fortitude (maybe the one while in a stance, still testing).

Usage

 * Find a target, preferably a squishy and activate "For Great Justice!" and Enraging Charge. Once you attack them all your adrenal skills except Steelfang Slash will be charged (hit them one more time to fully charge it).Be careful not to overextend or charge in, though. Do not activate Flail until your adrenaline is charged.
 * Spam your skills, try to time Steelfang Slash so you get the bonus adrenaline. To do this you will have to time your attacks so that you are just about to hit them when you activate "Coward!" so you have the adrenaline for Steelfang Slash. As soon as you start attacking, (if you opponent is moving), activate "Coward!" and Steelfang Slash.
 * If you have swapped "For Great Justice!" for Mending Touch,use Mending Touch to relief yourself of annoying conditions such as blind, cripple, etc.
 * Use Healing Signet sparingly, you take double damage while using it and you can't spend all of your time healing.
 * Be careful when using Flail, you do not want your target to escape.
 * Have fun and good luck!

Counters
Charging in, overextending, etc.

Axe Variant
Of course, transfer all points from Swordsmanship to Axe Mastery.

Attributes and Skills

 * You may switch Conjure Phantasm for the more powerful, but more costly, Conjure Nightmare.
 * The optional slot may be filled with a defensive skill like Distortion, or an offensive hex as another trigger for Discord.
 * You can switch Kitah's Burden and Enfeeble for Phantom Pain and Shatter Delusions.
 * Web of Disruption works as a handy, albeit awkward, cover hex. Use Shatter Delusions as an interrupt on a target hexed with Web of Disruption.
 * Parasitic Bond could also be used as another cover.

Equipment

 * The correct runes, a Rune of Superior Vigor, and as many Runes of Attunements and Radiant Insignias you can use.
 * A Death Staff with HCT,HRT for Death Magic spells.

Usage

 * Start the battle with Illusion of Weakness, be sure to let your health regenerate before moving in.
 * Cast Conjure Phantasm -> any other cover hex you have -> Kitah's Burden/Phantom Pain -> Shatter Delusions/Enfeeble -> Discord. After the first chain continue to spam Discord until either your target dies, or until you have to renew your hexes/conditions.
 * After you've killed your target, use Consume Corpse to regain health and energy.
 * If you brought Web of Disruption, use it as both a cover hex and an interrupt, as well as a good hex to fuel Shatter Delusions.

Counters

 * Anti spamming skills such as, Diversion, Backfire, Spiteful Spirit, Distracting Shot, etc.
 * Quick condition and hex removal (this isn't as big of a problem against enchanted foes).

Equipment

 * Any type of armor, I use Radiant Insignias. Rune of Superior Vigor, the correct runes from above, Runes of Vitae for all slots left.
 * __________ Spear of Fortitude (first mod doesn't matter, just like shocking or something that won't hurt your regen) with the "I Have the Power!" Inscription.

Usage

 * Use "It's just a flesh wound." in conjunction with Remedy Signet to keep allies and yourself condition free.
 * Hexbreaker Aria is great against hex degeneration teams and helps with energy management.
 * Use Ballad of Restoration and Aria of Zeal to help your monks with healing and energy management.
 * Use Signet of Synergy as a free dual heal for you and a party member.
 * Use "Watch Yourself!" as energy management and to give your party members an armor buff to help against possible spikes.
 * Use Signet of Return to revive fallen allies.

Counters

 * Vocal Minority, Well of Silence, etc.
 * Adrenaline Denial will hamper the effectiveness of this build, shutting down hex removal (through Hexbreaker Aria and E-Management (through "Watch Yourself!"), but it will still work effectively.
 * Anti-spamming skills that hit "It's just a flesh wound." will hurt your condition removal greatly.

Variants
Flag/Relic running variant coming soon.

Attributes and Skills

 * Good choices for the optional slots are Flesh of My Flesh and Destruction. (If you bring FomF you will have to tweak the attributes to add in Restoration.)
 * If you have trouble managing your energy, you can go Rt/R and bring Energizing Wind.

Equipment

 * Radiant Insignias, the Correct runes, Runes of Attunement.
 * Weapons aren't very important, for this build it's based on personal preference.

Usage

 * Pretty obvious. Use Life as fodder for Soul Twisting, and keep up your spirits.
 * If any of your spirits will die soon, Soul Twist them and cast a new one.

Counters

 * Unnatural Signet
 * To a lesser extent, Spiritual Pain.

Variants
List the major variants.

Attributes and Skills

 * You can swap Power Leak and Power Spike for another interupt such as Power Drain or Leech Signet.
 * You can take out Ether Feast, Illusion of Weakness, or, to a lesser extent, Resurrection Signet, for Mantra of Persistence, Spirit Shackles, and/or Resurrection Chant.

Equipment

 * Radiant Insignias, Correct runes, Best Vigor you can afford, Runes of Attunement.
 * Any type of weapons work, I prefer a HCT/HRT staff for Illusion Magic.

Usage

 * Cast Migraine, then immediately cover it with Frustration.
 * Use your interrupts as a target casts a spell.
 * Start you interupting chain with Power Leak.
 * Your next interupt will be Power Spike.
 * While waiting for Power Leak and Power Spike to recharge, use Power Return as a cheap, fairly spammable interupt.

Counters
If the target does not use any spells the only weapon you have against him is Ether Feast (if he has bad e-management) and your very weak staff.
