Ok, so I'm gunna take a stab at a guide. I'm pretty sure hardly nobody has tried this because Shadow Form is considered a horrible skill. Anyways, sorry about having no pictures, I just can't figure it out.

Skills

1. Shadow Form (E)
2. Frenzy (optional)
3. Shroud of Distress
4. Sever Artery (optional)
5. Final Thrust (optional)
6. Shadow Refuge
7. Endure Pain
8. Ressurection Signet

Attributes

Stength: 10 or 11
Shadow Arts: 11
Weapon Attribute (Sword or Axe): Rest of your points.

Equipment

Prefferably a sword or axe with a Zealous mod and Enchanting mod.

Gladiators Armor is NEEDED for the extra energy, as most of your skills will take energy.


Ok, the idea of this build is to make you nearly invincible for about 20 seconds. Do NOT use Shadow Form until you come under heavy atacks or spells. ALSO do not use it while fighting a Touch Ranger or IW Mesmer, as their skills will bypass Shadow Form anyways.

When you are fighting without Shadow Form, keep Shadow Refuge on when you are taking minor damage or degeneration. Use Frenzy if you are fighting against 1 foe only, and not against a heavy damage dealing Elementalist or something like it.

When you are getting low on health or are taking alot of damage, cast Shadow Form. Try to keep Frenzy on during it as you wont be taking much damage anyways, as this paired with a Zealous weapon will boost your energy rather fast. When Shadow Form ends, IMMEDIATLELY cast Endure Pain, Shadow Refuge, and (if you have the energy) Shroud of Distress. This should ensure your survival unless many people are still attacking you, in which case you die :)Continue to cast Shadow Refuge as much as you can and try to survive until Shadow Form is castable again.

That is basically it. It takes time to figure out just how to make it work, but it is quite nice once you learn it.
Please leave me comments and suggestions on how to improve this build or if you just think it sucks, i would like to know that. Also I would like to know if you have seen this build before, because I am proud of making something unique and functional.

Nice build :D

Ill try it on my warrior tomorrow. Right now im heading to a all night football game :D

seems like a solid concept and better yet it effectively uses 2 skills that are generally considered not all tht good. in short good job.

  Red Nose Ranger on 08/28/06 06:21
 
Interesting build. Only critism is that any form of enchantment removal will hinder this build sufficiently, and i'd take gash instead of endure pain since your spike is pretty weak.

  rareorwelldone on 08/28/06 06:42

Thanks for the comments so far guys. The suggestions you made were nice, but:

A. you cant remove an enchantment if i have on Shadow Form as it disables ALL spells.

B. Endure pain is necesseary to heal after Shadow Form ends, as it leaves you with almost no health.

C. lol @ Botchu. it does NOT work in pve

  Wyat_hawke on 08/28/06 07:00

Darn! I was just about to post nearly the same build! looks like my idea is going to the paper bin now lol. I really love to use shadow form, its a great skill, and this is a great build too ;-)

some adjustments though:
make this an assassin/mesmer build.
why?
Because you get arcane echo! then you can have shadow form up for 40 sec instead! or even better, if you have a friend who uses it, make sure both bring arcane echo, and then you're nearly invinsible!!! you could also bring illusion of weakness, which is a really helpful skill with this build. 151 health gain back just because they hit you, nearly brings you'r health halfways, and with 2 shadow refugees, you'r health is back on top =)

but a really good build anyway, I like to see that someone uses shadow form =)

1. signet of disenchantment
2. chillbains
3. order of apostacy

but no one uses them in pvp, so you're alright :P

soon as i cap shadow form ill give this a go.

hmz  thaskippy on 08/28/06 08:09

i also made a guide using shadow form but it wasnt accepted i geuss... my build uses a A/Me and uses arcane echo to echo shadow form(ofcourse) and illussion of weaknees for a big heal after you are down to 30 health. i dunno why it aint on here :'( owyeh.. nice guide XD

You would have to take off OoA of the list. Since it's an order, you need a partymember to hit him, which is impossible with Shadow Form on.

You can hit him with cyclone axe because it doesnt target him.

But it would still miss no?

  authenticx on 08/28/06 14:43

i would say this build is something different to try for fun but i don't see it being widely used as it's going to be pretty ineffective. The first flaw would be at 12 shadow arts you get 17 seconds, prolly more like 15 with 11 shadow arts? (not sure offhand) The other flaw is you leave only 2 slots for damage dealing skills. Not a very good pvp build for a warrior imho. As far as I can tell by looking at the skill set up, the only thing a build like this would be good for is for your personal enjoyment to think its funny that someone cant hit you for 15 seconds or w/e. Using recall with a warrior is nice for pulling in PvE but i don't think any other assassin skills really compliment a warrior. Mainly because a max of 27 energy with glads armor and only 2 bips of regen....Keep the ideas coming tho everyone is always up for trying a new build.

  rareorwelldone on 08/28/06 16:34

i find that Frenzy and bleeding and Final Thrust work quite well. however, this is more targeted towards fighing Spellcasters more effeciently, as you are attacking once per .75 seconds doing around 30 each hit. The idea was to use endure pain to counter the major health loss when SF ends, and it works quite well when it is timed right.

500 views in less than 24 hours >.< i guess it was the name that did it.
