User:Qwerty091/Sandbox/Shards of Midnight

Build Concept
This build involves the Mesmer elite skill Signet of Midnight to maximize the damage done by the skill Sand Shards from the Dervish.

Armor

 * Any max Nightfall armor with Windwalker Insignia


 * Headpeice with +1 Earth Prayers

Weapons

 * Any Scythe of Enchanting


 * The Scythe doesnt need to be max, you do your damage by missing attacks. That is also why there is no points in Scythe Mastery

= Usage =


 * Before the fight, cast Faithful Intervention


 * When you are about to aggro foes use Sand Shards and Conviction


 * Target the closest foe that attacks with a weapon and use Signet of Midnight to blind both them and you. If you use it on a caster it wont affect thier ability to cast spells, use it on characters who rely on sight to do thier damage. eg, Warriors, Rangers


 * Continue to maintain Sand Shards and Signet of Midnight when they recharge


 * Use Mystic Sweep and Eremite's Attack to attack quicker than normal and pull off an effective spike to all nearby foes


 * Use Mystic Regeneration to heal and Conviction to improve your armor


 * Faithful Intervention will keep your health up and save you from spikes

Counters

 * Any enchantment removal


 * An A.I. or Human teammate removing Blind


 * Price of Failure would shut down this build in a hurry
