R/A Trap Assassin Mk3

 * You can keep Trapper's Speed up all the time. Do so.
 * Assuming you re-use Trapper's Focus as soon as it recharges, it will have a 2 second downtime (1 if you swap attribute values for Expertise and WS). Not actually all that bad, considering you'll be waiting for your traps to recharge.
 * My Sunspear rank is 8, which matters only to the rebirth signet.
 * Works pretty well with 16 Expertise and 15 WS as well. The damage difference really isn't much.

Battle Procedure

 * Allow your warriors/dervishes to run in and get aggro.
 * Follow them and run behind the enemies and pick a spot where your traps will hit as much as possible.
 * Alternatively, use Return to place yourself near them.
 * Make sure both Trapper's Focus and Trapper's Speed are active
 * Lay traps.
 * If you take too much damage, Return will have probably recharged, so use it to move to safety
 * Repeat
 * And of course, resurrect as necessary.
 * You might want to make sure you have some distance between yourself and the dead ally, since it's a rebirth signet and all.

D/W Random Thought

 * Hmm. Would scythes charge adrenaline at the rate of one strike per foe hit, like Cyclone Axe?  Bonetti's would charge in three properly-placed attacks then.  And we all know mysticism is crap energy management.

R/Me Condition Spreader
Not sure about attributes, I'll need to find a good expertise breakpoint and lay everything else out accordingly.


 * It's important to target fleshy creatures with this build, otherwise, Burning Arrow will be your only source of degen.
 * Go for a fleshy caster, that way you can use Concussion Shot in addition to all of your degen.
 * Once you've inflicted all the conditions you can, use Epidemic.
 * In place of Pestilence:
 * Antidote Signet: cures blindness and two sources of degen, always handy to keep around.
 * Distracting Shot: so you can interrupt non-spells.
 * Throw Dirt: if you end up getting up close and personal a lot, plus it gives another condition to throw around with Epidemic.
 * A +damage bow attack, to help with non-fleshy creatures.
 * A blocking stance! Imagine that!

Well, I tested it, and... It looks good on paper, but sucks your energy dry in a matter of seconds. Epidemic is hard to be able to use, since most enemies tend to fan out. The same thing renders Pestilence pointless.

N/Me The Drought Slayer

 * I had this set up on Master of Whispers, and I'm too lazy/poor to rune/insignia each and every hero I get. It worked fine as is.
 * I was a water elementalist, so I had a few hexes to synergize with Soul Barbs.
 * I put Mantra of Earth in there since all of the Droughtlings and The Drought itself use Earth Magic, I figured it would help him make up for his massive energy costs and keep him alive at the same time. It worked.  Only Gehraz and Devona died during the fight.
 * I completed the mission with the Master level bonus while having Master of Whispers set up with this build. My party was: (I'm listing henchman skills for the lulz)

 * Can you tell from my hero monk builds that I hate having hexes on anybody in my party?
 * Also, I ordered the henchmen so the lower four profession abbreviations in my party list would read PWND. Whee.
