Hello all,

This is my first of hopefully many guides. I recently bought GW and really enjoy the game. Even as a new play I see a TON of repeat builds, and I’m sure they’re good, but they just aren’t for me. I like to be original. Here is a build I came up with today that I was so proud of; that I decided to join here so I could post it. This is my first one, so have mercy on my soul.





1) Healing Sig – Pretty self explanatory. Use it to heal yourself
2) Victory Is Mine – The Elite of the build. It will almost always give you full health and mana, if you have enough foes in the area.
3) Deadly Riposte – Great skill. Works wonders for this build. It blocks attacks, causes extra damage AND bleeding.
4) Riposte – Blocks attack and causes damage. Adrenaline skill, saves mana.
5) Sever Artery – Adren. Skills. Causes bleeding. You need this in case you need to cause bleeding on a caster or some one who isn’t dumb enough to attack your ripostes.
6) Hamstring – Cause crippling, the foe cant escape, and soon NO ONE WILL ESCAPE!!!!
7) Epidemic – THE KEY TO THIS BUILD. It’s a no attribute Mezmer skill, it takes all the conditions on one foe, and then transfers them to all foes in the area. (I.E. your bleeding and crippling)
8) Rez Sig – Well, this is always handy. Can be replaced if you want to be a jerk ass. (look at Shield Bash/Shield Stance if you need more defense or Final Thrust if you need more offense)



This build could work in either PvE or PvP, although it’s probably a better PvE build. The main object is, you use sword skills to not only block incoming attacks, but also to cause conditions to your opponents, then use Mesmer skill (Epidemic) and transfer them to ALL the opponents. Once you do that, VIM it up!!! Get all your health and mana back.
The only skills that drain your energy are epidemic and hamstring at 10 a piece, but you use hamstring sparingly. The key is just hit one foe with the crip/bleed and then right away give it to all foes.

Put skills points into Tactics. Strength. Sword (in that order) Helpful items to have. Barbed Sword Hilt to length bleeding time, and tack on a pommel of defense or sword mastery or fortitude. Use runes at your own discretion, since you don’t want your health to drop too low. It’s a simple build that’s effective and easy to use. Basically small or no learning curve. Hope you have fun using it.

Who will save us?
-Futureman

Wow sounds interesting.
I always had some idea for farming that would involve using that.

  CaptainBobby on 09/05/06 10:13

looks good! and you even got a res sig, excellent!

  lupennerkvein on 09/05/06 10:42

nice build a couple of suggestions though, id swap out deadly riposte and /or riposte for gash and maybe another condition skill, cant think of one of the top of my head, as especially in PvP there wont be people attacking you with riposte and deadly. A gash would definitly help alot as deep wounds are incredibly good, you could try this with an axe with dismember, axe twist, axe rake and then executioners or shield bash as a defensive thing. I think its a good build idea but there needs to be one or two more conditions for it to be fully effective

Its not really orgiginal, seen it on other forums before, but apparently u havent, so GG and stay creative :)

  IamHighVoltage on 09/05/06 12:53

Very similar to my Hydra Farm build.
Gash might be more effective then cripple though. Theres nothing better then all your surrounding enemies losing 20% of their health in 1 blow when you use Epedemic.

I've never seen anything like this build in Guild Wars. Mostly it's the same ol' Mending Warrior, Shock Axe, or whatever else is the new fad that week. It's nice to see a change and use a W/Me combo.

This build looks overall pretty solid. Above average healing, good damage (aoe, single, and random target) and a res.

Some suggestions I'd like to make though are:

Swap Riposte for Gash

Swap Hamstring for the mesmer skill Distortion. That way, you'll only be hit 75% of the time, and you can put it up when you want to or keep it up forever, as long as you have energy coming in through "Victory is Mine!".

I love the incorporation of Epidemic too.

Nice build Future Man, and welcome to GameAmp. Enjoy your stay!

Looks good, but the only conditions are Crip and Bleed, thats not much energy/health from VIM

2 or more foes in the area and he's golden

Cool man I like it. I hadn't seen one like this :)




  slye_boy on 09/06/06 01:45

i use a (loosly) similar build for mostly AvA and RA
w/r
Apply poison,tigers,gash.sever,riposte,heal sig,vim,endure pain
I thought it couldn't be improved but it seems you have done a much better job at it, gg, nice build.

  solgae1784 on 09/06/06 14:08
 
Nice build. I agree with others and would swap Hamstring or Riptose with Gash for deep wound. Only for PvE tho (since cripple is next-to-useless on PvE). Cripple is better on PvP to prevent kiting.

Riptose skills are great mainly because of the armor-ignoring damage and 100% one-time block. It can be used in PvP too, as long as you time it right and activate just before the enemy strikes you. Not too hard to do since the skill activates instantly.

For AvA, switch rez sig for Gash.

  Lady Alica on 09/07/06 06:15

I've used a variation of this build before...as most people say, sever artery and gash work best, as if the monsters are close enough for epidemic to work, they shouldn't be running away. Nice guide though, glad to see other people think W/Me's are good :)

  cswella on 09/08/06 08:32

Awesome job. I'm using a variant of this in AvA and it's really working well.

Sever Artery
Gash
Hamstring
ViM
Epidemic
Hex Breaker
Lyssa's Balance
((variable))-still working on last skill. Thinking Rush or Sprint.


  cswella on 09/08/06 08:34

PS: I have fallen in love with Lyssa's Balance btw. Works great against the Mending/HH warriors that populate AB.

damn  thaskippy on 09/08/06 10:46

looks pretty nice but i dont see anything damaging your foe... dont really know the recharge times of the ripostes but the only dmg you do is trough the bleeding if you ask me... which isnt alot...

  cswella on 09/08/06 14:41

@thaskippy: You'd be amazed at how much damage you can do with Ripostes. And they recharge fairly fast.

There are builds that farm Shiverpeak areas with only riposte builds.

  Future Man on 09/08/06 19:15

why was this filed under "Archive (Obsolete Guides)"

Is it obsolete???
Did they nerf Epedemic or somthing?

  cswella on 09/10/06 17:19

Nah, you submitted it under the catergory of Archive. When you hit "Preview" it resets your original choice. :P
