vale A/N vs. vale A/E

First of all, before any discussion, I'd like to say that both work and take about the same time, and is mostly preference. However, I think A/N is slightly safer (and yes, I have tried both). A/E requires the spirits to target you to do much damage, which doesn't always happen at the first and second mob, even if you are standing right in the middle of where they spawn. If you can't do much damage, then you run the risk of spirits dying, and therefore failing. Chillblains on a necro works, but it is hard on energy, believe it or not. With A/N, you can use chillbs on recharge no problem, thus, freeing up a slot on the necro's bar so he can take stuff like EVAS, BuH! etc. to kill even faster.

Also, at least with pugs, A/N is much, much more common. If anything, they should both be listed as "Variants", instead of saying that the A/E is the standard build. --User:Thc 21:54, 9 July 2009 (UTC)

PS - also the attributes on the A/N were off. --User:Thc 21:56, 9 July 2009 (UTC)

Mountains perma

Is there any way to run the mountains perma as E/A?

Only with golden eggs and candy corn, and even then it's harder than with a/e, because you'll only have 15 SA (I believe). -- Star of Exile talk  21:55, 24 March 2009 (UTC)

Good to see it

Good to see folks have made use of parts of my original guide, which is now a bit outdated. (Gerg)

Vale Idea's?

Dwarven Stability and Dark escape on the Sin mean that he only takes 1 dmg from IW, makes it easyer on energy too. Elegent 13:20, 30 March 2009 (UTC)

- lol? how Dwarven Stability is reducing the damage you take? and Dark Escape? Meaning you wait for necro to kill the bad guys? lol. Any more bright ideas you have?

Dwarven Stability would allow you to nearly maintain Dark Escape (you also have consets reducing the recharge), which doesn't end on sliver armor's or aftershock's damage, just when you physically attack. All of the skills on that bar look too important though. And there is a portion where you need to wand for Shadow Refuge's healing bonus. Toraen 15:58, 8 April 2009 (UTC)

If you guys want vale done withen 9 mins u need 3 things. 
a Pro Chambers, Vale necro and Vale Sin. im not going to give any of the 

builds cause we hold the record of doing uwsc in 7 mins Sry^ ^

if anyone wants to pm me in game to come on a run you can.....u musty do areas fast.......<>xx Silents death xx

you cant do vale in 7 minutes,max is probably 9... the fastest run i have ever seen is 10 minutes of course this is post nerf,so which ever way it is you are talking bullshit

plains counters

should signet of humility be mentioned in the counters section of the plains-sin part? 85.165.253.129 23:32, 6 April 2009 (UTC)

I put it in. Arnout aka The Emperors Angel 12:21, 7 April 2009 (UTC)

Which is easiest?

Which build is..

Easiest to get skills for Easiest to do - safest/less work/less chance to die

And could you also tell me the hardest? :D! (Based on the same things)

Thx ^_^

Easiest is probably chamber, waste or pits (i started as chamber), hardest is mnt imo -- Star of Exile talk  15:27, 7 April 2009 (UTC)

Hardest is probably mnt, although really not that hard. Hardest to get skills for is either pits for derv skills, wastes/pools for rad field, or mnts/wastes/plains for BUH! Easiest area is pits, just roll an A/D and maintain SF and kill threshers first and you can't die. Life 15:39, 7 April 2009 (UTC)

collectors first -- Star of Exile talk  16:31, 7 April 2009 (UTC)

Threshers....Life 17:54, 7 April 2009 (UTC)

Lolz. Wich spawn minions? Kill those first. Arnout aka The Emperors Angel 11:01, 8 April 2009 (UTC)

Wiki says collectors (Though you shouldn't kill them first as then the minions become hostile to the threshers and you get FoCed). I just c-space spam and not had a problem yet. Andy 12:33, 8 April 2009 (UTC)

Ofcourse you kill the minions as soon as they spawn, you wouln't want to get any rampant minions on your head. Arnout aka The Emperors Angel 14:53, 8 April 2009 (UTC)

And nice damage off banishing. Andy 15:03, 8 April 2009 (UTC)

If you kill the threshers first, and do a decent job pulling, there's nothing for the minions to go hostile on. By the time threshers are dead, you have multiple minions to go AoE Holy rape on. Killing collectors first makes no sense. Life 15:58, 8 April 2009 (UTC)

You kill collectors first so that they don't spawn minions from the dead threshers, it's very simple. If they spawn minions, it's slower because you have to take the time to kill the minions and be careful not to kill the collector before the minion -- Star of Exile talk 16:08, 8 April 2009 (UTC)

You don't get it. If all the threshers are dead, minions don't mean shit. Blow up the minions in one attack, hit the collectors with the AoE and start killing the collectors. Life 16:15, 8 April 2009 (UTC)

anyways, pits and chamber is easyRiktw 12:53, 30 April 2009 (UTC)

Weapons?

I currently use a Droknar's staff, which as all the mods required for a sin to wrok.l The only thing is, I just read i need a shield with +10 fire AL. Is this true? Doesn't Shadowform stop them from attacking? =s! Thanks.

I assume you're doing waste - it's to reduce damage against zealot's fire -- Star talk  01:16, 10 April 2009 (UTC)

The shield+caster weapon set is just to make things easier. You'll take less damage from zealots fire if you use a fire shield, but it's no big deal if you don't have one. Life 01:54, 10 April 2009 (UTC)

So what weapons would be suggested for shield+caster, what greens/golds should i aim for =] thanks 93.97.250.47 02:13, 10 April 2009 (UTC)

Any 16AL shield with +10 vs fire. +45 hp while enchanted is nice as well. The sword/axe/spear should be +5 energy with +20% enchantments. Not sure on green shields, but if you'd prefer a green weapon; rajazans fervor, totem axe, and spirit of the forgotten all have those stats. Life 04:20, 10 April 2009 (UTC)

Forgotten shields from the end NF chests have +10vs. cold/fire etc. But personally I use a caster melee weap with a earth focus(destroyer) with +45 while enched and a +10 vs. fire inscrip. --Sam6555 15:09, 14 April 2009 (UTC)

I have a +10al vs shock & fire (and +5, 20% spear), - I use one in every area whether its needed or not - if I'm low on energy and need to use SF, I swop to an Earth staff for extra energy, and can then wand stuffs if I want more damage. Andy 15:19, 14 April 2009 (UTC)

Always keep my zealous scythe and daggers on me also. Even if I don't need the energy the extra 30 damage (3x10) does help a little I guess. --Sam6555 15:21, 14 April 2009 (UTC)

variants

i think all the variant builds need their own section, rather than in subsections. its pretty clogged up and would be nice to see it a little neater. this article is massive :O--Relyk 06:59, 13 April 2009 (UTC)

MORE ECTOZZZ?

Which of the runs nets an average of more ectos. I've been switching between plains,pools and pits and never seem to get enough feedback to say that one is more profitable. I think pits dont have as much ecto drop chances as the plains/pools, but I certainly cannot decide which one of the latter is more profitable. Greed FTW. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 62.235.194.51 (talk • contribs) .

I believe you get most ectozzzzzzzzzzzzzz from the plains run, I am not sure though ;o Brandnew 11:53, 14 April 2009 (UTC)

Plains or wastes I guess, dunno. Andy 13:30, 14 April 2009 (UTC)

Plains, because when you're done you can go farm mindblades for fun. -- Star talk  14:57, 14 April 2009 (UTC)

Definitely plains, but only because 90% of pools pugs are epic fail. Most of the time I can finish two riders+spawns before pools is ready for 4H. Life 02:36, 15 April 2009 (UTC)

on pits i get a nice amoth of ecto, mostly 2 or 3 from dropsRiktw 12:53, 30 April 2009 (UTC)

RoJ Vale Variant - Demonstration link?

I was just having a look at the RoJ Vale Variant toward the bottom of the page. The first bullet point under "Usage" says "Excellent Demonstration with the RoJ Monk" but the link doesn't seem to go anywhere. Is anyone else having this problem?--90.193.106.87 16:34, 21 April 2009 (UTC)

Can someone remove the meta tag?

This build isnt meta, this is just a good build for uw clearing just as any other build. I request that the meta tag be removed due to the fact taht nnoone can explain why this build is considered meta. (compare this build to 600/smite or 55/ss or any other random uw group)

it is meta because everone alot of people runs it in UW mister anonimious. Fox007 12:18, 23 April 2009 (UTC)

are you insane ? not everyone use this to farm uw .. I use 600/smite alot and 55/ss aswell as a normal group, this statement of yours should be removed Fox007.

Don't forget to sign....they aren't saying this is the only build that works...just the best....hence META. 12:35, 23 April 2009 (UTC)

Happy mister Anon. Fox007 13:10, 23 April 2009 (UTC)

yes thank you.. "Anon delivers"

Its not the best. It's a guide for people new to the most commonly used uw farm build.

Anon is awful. Gtfo. Life 15:16, 23 April 2009 (UTC)

Thanks life. Forgetting to sign wins. Andy 15:20, 23 April 2009 (UTC)

Now I'm confused. That comment was directed at the original anon btw. Dunno If it was you. Life 15:39, 23 April 2009 (UTC)

This is the best, fastest build to clear UW on HM, used by the greatest number of successful groups. It is clearly meta. 68.51.95.206 04:49, 28 April 2009 (UTC)

It's actually not the fastest. Life 05:01, 28 April 2009 (UTC)

What is the fastest? 600? 10:43, 28 April 2009 (UTC)

Never, unless u run 4 x 600 teams, and even then, it wouldn't be faster... The UWSC Sin team is designed to do all the quests at the same time, thus finishing in the fastest possible time... I too, Life, would like to know what's fastest...Anwyn 11:09, 28 April 2009 (UTC)

Same concept, slightly different builds and technique for vale & chamber are the only differences as far as I know. The builds here are aimed more at safety than speed, as the people looking for them here will be completely new to UW. Andy 15:31, 28 April 2009 (UTC)

Well isn't that what the "Variants" section is for? 15:55, 28 April 2009 (UTC)

As Andy said, different vale and chamber, as well as Eles in place of sins and a Mesmer in pits. ONI summoning stones in vale too. Life 17:39, 28 April 2009 (UTC)

Every time I go to ToA, 70% of the people there are looking for more people who can run THIS build or a build very similar to it. The other 30% are either looking for a farming partner for duo farming, setting up an FoW run, or are trying to sell/buy stuff. In my very humble opinion, this is meta. If you don't like that, cry moar Q.Q Skie M 17:41, 28 April 2009 (UTC)

@Life I know what you are saying but can't we just list that under vairants like "RoJ Vale Variant"? tbh the others are critical to the run. 18:12, 28 April 2009 (UTC)

Nah, those variants shouldn't be listed, as they are purely for a speed run. In a pug, the chance of failing means you're going to waste a lot of money on personal cons. Perhaps a note at the top/bottom. @Skie, we are well past that topic. Life 18:19, 28 April 2009 (UTC)

Hmm, the elite meta builds are not consistent then. At least Urgoz and Deep are builds for extremely speedy runs that aren't really pug friendly - but I have seen pugs in Urgoz use consist inferior builds (grasping earth on sin, succor on bonder etc). UW seems the opposite, and FoW and DoA are sitting on the fence. Athrun Feya 22:03, 28 April 2009 (UTC)

UW is much easier than Urgoz, Deep and is done more by pugs. The reason these builds are "pug friendly" is because they are lol easy. The variants that Life is talking about are just for record runs,and are only used by Guild groups, pugs dont use them because they would fail and also because pugs cant get a record anyways. Fawx 06:37, 2 May 2009 (UTC)

I disagree, I think its easier for someone clueless to pug Urgoz than UW. UW is done by more pugs because its shorter and has better reward. My point was that some other elite area builds could be, but are not currently, loleasy pug-proof (deep and urgoz specifically). Do we want the optimum builds for elites on PvX or something that is safest for PuGs? Athrun Feya 15:17, 10 May 2009 (UTC)

I think the PuG-safe builds should be on here, maybe with a mention somewhere of the record-holding build (a subpage maybe?) since we are supposed to document builds. The PvE GW elites probably don't use PvXwiki as a reference. Toraen talk 22:46, 19 May 2009 (UTC)

Maybe something like the DoA cryway build? Have the slow build at the top, and the speed/record holding at the bottom? Life 22:56, 19 May 2009 (UTC)

I disagree, UWSC fails often enough with pugs - if you get them trying to run harder builds with higher fail rate, the average pug run will get even worse. If your good enough, you will be recognised and invited to better runs by people who already know the faster tactics. Andy 23:04, 19 May 2009 (UTC)

Both the safer and speedier builds will be available, and we're not trying to get pugs to run harder builds. PvXwiki really should document the fastest builds somewhere. At the bottom of the page might not be the best idea though; these articles are already kinda long and people are easily confused. Toraen talk 23:11, 19 May 2009 (UTC)

(EC)I didnt mean have them run eles or anything. Just have a safer, albeit slower, build on top, and a faster build for people that know what theyre doing. Life 23:12, 19 May 2009 (UTC)

Lolz, that won't do anything. The PUG's will then start to ask for the better, faster build, and even more runs will fail. Arnout aka The Emperors Angel 09:38, 20 May 2009 (UTC)

change it to the fastest build imo. that way pugs are forced to improve in skill and capability.

It also means people would have to bring personal cons, which most people cbf to do in a pug because, well, it's fucking retarded to do so because it's a pug. ··· Danny Does Drugs 14:51, 25 May 2009 (UTC)

To be fair, the higher fail rates mean longer runs when countering in fails. So for PUGs the easier builds will often be the fastest. Not trying to say that logic holds much water in any other situations, and yeah the fastest build should probably be up, but put them together; this build isn't meta because it's the fastest or the best, just because its permeated into PUG play. --86.20.30.182 11:15, 26 May 2009 (UTC)

Better mountains walkthru plz

On mnt theres sometimes a really crappy spawn where theres 5 or 6 behemoths on top of each other... how do you kill em like this?Generalmurgahn 03:27, 4 June 2009 (UTC)

Learn the pattern of healing springs, and switch targets accordingly. 6 stack is mounts hell though. Usually you'll break through eventually. Life 03:38, 4 June 2009 (UTC)

people say this all the time: learn the pattern. What specifically IS the pattern though? thanksGeneralmurgahn 21:27, 4 June 2009 (UTC)

It depends on the spawn. There's a pattern in which they use it so theres always one going. If you watch and switch targets correctly, they should rarely get a healing spring off. Life 23:05, 4 June 2009 (UTC)

Mesmer chamber

Is it possible? Considering the use of essence I'd think it would be maintainable at 12. Or do I need candy? -- Karasu (talk) 14:17, 9 June 2009 (UTC)

how much? Wuhy 23:20, 15 June 2009 (UTC)

I use LoD myself instead of CoP, works better for me. I also use Viper's Defenses as anti-bodyblock instead of Death's Charge, extra degen + being able to escape from vengeful aatxes = win imo. Poison makes up for the degen lost from CoP 84.24.37.134 10:50, 19 July 2009 (UTC)

A/Me Pits Varient

I've tested the A/Me Pits Varient and it seems to work faster than A/D and A/E, but I just have one question about it. Do you guys echo Light of Deldrimor or Radiation Field? I've asked around and I'm getting mixed answers so if anyone knows which is better, please reply. ^^ AtomiK 04:52, 14 July 2009 (UTC)

Probably LoD. Life 04:58, 14 July 2009 (UTC)

Actually, CoP should probably be in the place of echo. Life 05:02, 14 July 2009 (UTC)

Really? I figure echoing LoD has a better damage output that using CoP with LoD. AtomiK 17:34, 14 July 2009 (UTC)

Well, CoP's degen means that theyre degen is always maxed, giving it decent damage output as well as helping against scatter. Personal preference tbh. Life 19:49, 14 July 2009 (UTC)

CoP is better. I can clear pits and start quest by 9 min. This is usually before wastes starts his quest.

Been doing mnts after a loooonnnnggg time away from GW, there's gotta be an easier way to do it. Now, the good people of PvX, tell me if I'm just being an ideeit or if this could work. I would try it myself but I don't have the resources for a mock UWSC run atm.

As for working the build, get up the same way obviously and use GoLE → Mark of Rodgort → Fire Storm → Snow Storm to make Behemoths go boom (wand to in circuit to prevent Healing Spring if one round doesn't kill). Thanks, feedback? :D - ^We_Heart^Katamari 09:35, 22 July 2009 (UTC)

Hmm, i know that some people use Snow Storm in the standard sliver build for mnts and it looks effective. You kinda need sliver to kill the Slayer in a decent time though, so your build wouldn't work. Ironboot× 12:46, 22 July 2009 (UTC)

That's what I'd use if I wanted to bring Snow Storm. I think that sliver should be the primary damage source; MoR + Fire Storm is probably less effective than a buffed Sliver. ;/ Ironboot× 14:08, 22 July 2009 (UTC)

Yeah, you're probably right. Thanks for humoring me ^.^ Btw, you think that the Snow Storm variant is better than bringing "BUH!"? - ^We_Heart^Katamari 04:11, 23 July 2009 (UTC)

A/E Vale

I wanna ask if it's some kind of sick joke or something. :p I never seen anyone run one. After trying one myself I realised that its extremely slow and to be quite honest A/D isnt much harder to run. Is there something I misunderstand about this build or is it just not viable anymore? :o --Carnivorous Cupcake 22:27, 29 July 2009 (UTC)

Yeah its shit, take it out. Andy 22:42, 29 July 2009 (UTC)

A/D vale and GDW nec gogo--TahiriVeila 22:57, 29 July 2009 (UTC)

Yup, A/D it is imo. --Carnivorous Cupcake 23:42, 29 July 2009 (UTC)

How did you manage a double post on a wiki o.O Drahgal Meir 02:17, 31 July 2009 (UTC)

EotN Ranks

My question is are they essential for completing most of the parts (all except the A/D Pits have such skills)? I mean, if they're reeeally low (like R1-3), is it a problem? Of course that for ultra fast clears under 15 mins it's somewhat important to have them high, but I'm talking for steady, semi-noob/pug times. Btw, UWSCs are great if made how it's right, but this strictly assassin concept is killing me sometimes... Nowadays you can't farm a lot if you don't have a freakin perma :S --¡DeAl€Y! 13:06, 31 July 2009 (UTC)

qq moar. Technique is more important than ranks to get good times, though they do help quite a bit. Andy 13:41, 2 August 2009 (UTC)

Technique is more important for having good times, for great times you need at least r8 Ebon, preferably max--TahiriVeila 14:52, 2 August 2009 (UTC)

A/N Chamber Sin

<pvxbig> [build prof=A/N Shad=12+1+3 Curse=12 Deadl=3][Deadly Pa@4][Shadow Fo@17][Price of Fail@13][Mark of Pain@13][Enfeebling Blood@13][Poisoned Heart@13][Signet of Corruption][Death's Cha@17][/build] </pvxbig> Basically same usage, except the killing process:

• When killing Dryders/Keepers of Souls, Price of Failure/MoP on the same foe, then autoattack with a zealous scythe to prevent scatter. Also, wall trick ftw.
• When killing the mix of Bladed Aatxes and Grasping Darkness after terrors are down, Poisoned Heart, then MoP + PoF on an Aatxe, then autoattack with your spear.
• Need nargiez? Enfeebling Blood + SoC ftw.
• Can also be played by N/A (use golden eggs and candy corn):

<pvxbig> [build prof=N/A Shad=12 Curse=12+1+3 Soul=3][Deadly Pa@3][Shadow Fo@15][Price of Fail@19][Mark of Pain@19][Enfeebling Blood@19][Poisoned Heart@19][Signet of Corruption][Death's Cha@15][/build] </pvxbig> Just an idea that popped into my head. + ℓγssάή [rage] 17:12, 4 August 2009 (UTC)

Looks like it could work, though there is probably a better trigger for SoC than Enfeebling Blood. Tried it yet? Andy 19:32, 4 August 2009 (UTC)

You've already got Poisoned Heart - Enfeebling is just redundant and useless. Not sure what would make sense to take, though. Maybe Critical Agility with some crit strikes? ···  19:40, 4 August 2009 (UTC)

If the MoP target dies long after the others, then some normal damage could help - "FH!" or necrosis. If it doesn't, then LoD or Rad field for extra damage/degen? Andy 19:56, 4 August 2009 (UTC)

Rad Field is a big energy sink. LoD or Necrosis would be my choices. ···  19:58, 4 August 2009 (UTC)

True. I'm not sure SoC will provide enough energy while killing only 4 enemies for UWG. Andy 20:02, 4 August 2009 (UTC)

Ups, Zealous scythe. Andy 20:05, 4 August 2009 (UTC)

Use Enfeebling for energy management when doing CTC. "Fear Me!" ftl? And I don't think you would need LoD/Necrosis to be quite honest. If you plan on using Poisioned Heart against Terrorwebs, then degen should kill them. + ℓγssάή [rage] 22:38, 4 August 2009 (UTC)

Okay I just burned through 3 consets to test this. MoP has to be taken off the build, because even with the wall trick, it causes MASSIVE scatter. The bar that works is: <pvxbig> [build prof=N/A Shad=12 Curse=12+1+3 Deadl=3][Deadly Pa@3][Shadow Fo@15][Price of Fail@19][Enfeebling Blood@19][Poisoned Heart@19][Radiation Field][Signet of Corruption][Death's Cha@15][/build] </pvxbig> Use Health degen to kill everything up until UWG. At UWG, use Price of Failure and health degen to take care of the first group of Dryders and the first Keeper of Souls. For all other groups, Cast Price of Failure on the Keeper of Souls, then wait until they autoattack themselves to death. Move on. I did this solo, without any help on CTC, and on my first try I finished in 14 minutes. + ℓγssάή [rage] 00:08, 5 August 2009 (UTC)

I just filmed it with gamecam, I'll post a video here later. + ℓγssάή [rage] 17:00, 5 August 2009 (UTC)

I'm sure it works fine, but how does it compare in terms of speed and ease of use to A/Me?--TahiriVeila 17:04, 5 August 2009 (UTC)

probably easier to use because you don't need to remember to keep Spirit of Failure on something for energy and you can just /afk after PoF and PH are up. ···  17:25, 5 August 2009 (UTC)

It's faster than most A/Me i've played with. Most A/Me finish in around 16/17 minutes. On my first try with this build, I got a 14 minute run. Also, suck it, bitches (run in the video is a bit slow, but vale needed help, and I kept getting stuck at the Keeper of Souls near entrance to mountains). + ℓγssάή [rage] 17:39, 5 August 2009 (UTC)

My fastest time with the standard A/Me listed here is 11 minutes, I have a variant that is not listed here and can probably speed it up so that, If the Vale team is fast I can probably do it in 9-10 minutes. Qaletaqa 04:42, 6 August 2009 (UTC)

I clear in 12-14 minutes. Would be less if vale teams were faster but oh wellz. This variant is surely the fastest chamber necro there is however it needs self cons to operate and is rather slow; 14 minutes and you werent even killing Dryders. --Carnivorous Cupcake 19:30, 6 August 2009 (UTC)

14 minutes on my own, meaning so help from SS support at beginning with CTC. Anyways, I'm working on a better build that can contend with scatter problems and still has MoP. I can't test it now though, because I am out of town and the nearest internet connection is...the dreaded dial-up. + ℓγssάή [rage] 19:58, 6 August 2009 (UTC)

Take that Carnivorous. Can be done in 8 minutes or less, but I cba to find a PuG to do CTC faster. I'm happy with 9 minutes solo. I'll go make a video soon. + ℓγssάή [rage] 22:35, 9 August 2009 (UTC)

Ritualists

What's the most commonly known builds Ritualists use in FoWSC? And how do they manage energy? Selket Shadowdancer 20:51, 6 August 2009 (UTC)

Completely wrong page. Take a look at the Manlyspike.-- $ɧor₮ talk 21:02, 6 August 2009 (UTC)

Sorry I typed wrong question. I meant Rits in Vale. Selket Shadowdancer 21:07, 6 August 2009 (UTC)

Mountains perma

Added a variant to mountains, please discuss.konserv 09:12, 9 August 2009 (UTC)

Not sure if we really want pugs who think theyre pro running that. Life Guardian 09:13, 9 August 2009 (UTC)

I've seen people run Finish Him! as mnts which is quite effective. Kracatoan 09:24, 9 August 2009 (UTC)

Finish Him is quite good, but it eats energy, as to this being hard i did type, for experienced players. The main reason i posted it was because people were having trouble with patterns, with that build it's perfectly fine to miss a few springs as the damage will be very high anywaykonserv 10:29, 9 August 2009 (UTC)

Tbh, I don't really understand why people have trouble with the mnts behemoth pattern, it really isn't that difficult to see which behemoth is going to use healing Spring and when, then again, I'm a maths person with a fast internet so it is easy for me. Kracatoan 10:37, 9 August 2009 (UTC)

Technobabble

I ran this in vale on my sin, and I was able to interrupt illusionary was quite nice actually, I wonder if a necro using this could hit them all at once, I know it's a 8 second recharge with cons, and a 5 sec duration at most, I'm still testing it, but I think it could be useful and even save the necro's energy without having to use chillblains, if done right of course, I dunno, just an idea.DBreezy 07:47, 16 August 2009 (UTC)

+10 Armor Shields

Is it really necessary to say that most people need +10 armor against lightning/piercing. it makes it sound like you must use them to participate when they arn't that helpful. Maybe it could have (optional) next to it Kracatoan 17:34, 16 August 2009 (UTC)

Lightning shield isn't a NECESSITY but it's very useful for dealing with charged. If you're doing pools i might say it's necessary but everywhere else it's just useful. Fire shield is great for wastes. Piercing shield is bad though, only place you would theoretically need it is mts but if you're on a martial set they'll use whirling so you need a staff--TahiriVeila 19:31, 16 August 2009 (UTC)

Having the fire shield for wastes eliminates the need for and healing. --Sam6555 19:38, 16 August 2009 (UTC)

You don't need healing even without a fire shield.--75.95.205.187 19:50, 16 August 2009 (UTC)

Made a spelling mistake in first post >.> and suposed to be any. Anyway, been a while since I didn't use any armor/fire armor. I don't really remember. :P --Sam6555 22:45, 16 August 2009 (UTC)

vale typo?

didnt find a good place to add this, so i made a new section for it ;)

in the vale equipment section, it says +20 ench daggers, while the build uses schyte attack skills. any good reason why? 213.167.96.195 20:31, 16 August 2009 (UTC)

It should be scythe i assume, tempting as it is to change to schyte - one of the more funny misspelt words in GWs. AthrunFeya 20:37, 16 August 2009 (UTC)

Rt/N Vale support

Added a variant that I have used with success for a Ritualist in Vale. Feel free to tweak it up where neccessary if it can be improved. Selket Shadowdancer 01:22, 26 August 2009 (UTC)

Maybe Energetic Was Lee Sa instead of Vorizun? Mathias Cali 04:25, 26 August 2009 (UTC)Mathias Cali

That could possibly work. I'll try it the next run we do and see how I get on. If I find it to be better I'll add it. Selket Shadowdancer 08:41, 26 August 2009 (UTC)

I find Mighty was Vorizun seriously random. I use Energetic was Lee Sa when doing Vale support on my Rit for better energy management. --Carnivorous Cupcake 10:04, 26 August 2009 (UTC)

EwLS sucks, you get a net gain of like 2 energy every 20s--TahiriVeila 12:36, 26 August 2009 (UTC)

Which is better than completely wasting your energy on MwV.--Ikimono"My beard is thick." 12:44, 26 August 2009 (UTC)

I don't see what the argument is. MWV works. I know it works because I used it last night and managed to clear Vale easily. You have maintainable +30 energy, along with +15 al without having to resort to high energy sets thus keeping your +4 energy regeneration. Selket Shadowdancer 20:28, 26 August 2009 (UTC)
