I haven’t posted a new build in a long time. This is a new build that just jumped off the screen at me, so I’m sure some one else has thought of it before, although I haven’t seen it. I don’t have Nightfall, and there fore haven’t play tested it, but I honestly don’t see how it couldn’t work. It really is just a variation on another build which I play and have wild success with. So please don’t spam and be like “ZOMG THAT’S LIKE MY FRIENDS BUILD!”

The Headbanger




Plague Touch
Transfer a negative condition and its remaining duration from yourself to target touched foe.


Elite Skill. Target touched foe takes (Min: 40 - Max: 88) damage. You are Dazed for (Min: 5 - Max: 17) seconds.


Sever Artery
If this attack hits, the opponent begins bleeding for 5-21 seconds, losing health over time.


Gash
If this attack hits a bleeding foe, you strike for 5-17 more damage and that foe suffers a deep wound, lowering that foe's maximum health by 20% for 5-17 seconds.


Final Thrust
Lose all adrenaline. If Final Thrust hits, you deal 1-32 more damage. This damage is doubled if your target was below 50% health.

Frenzy or [URL=http://guildwars.gameamp.com/guildwars/skill/350.php]
-Frenzy
For 8 seconds, you attack 33% faster but take double damage.
-Rush
For 8-18 seconds, you move 25% faster.


Skill. You are healed for (Min: 30 - Max: 70) Health, and you gain 5 Health for each rank in Tactics.


Resurrect target party member. That party member is returned to life with 100% Health and 25% Energy. This signet only recharges when you gain a Morale Boost.


How it works:

This is basically a plague touch build with a slight variation with your Elite. How you play and your team’s build will determine whether or not you take Frenzy or Rush. (You can take sprint, but I think you might run into some serious energy issues). I would recommend rush, due to the fact with bleeding and deep wound, you don’t really need the IAS to spike. Anyways. So you build up full adrenaline use Rush, chase down the poor hapless monk. Make sure you have no conditions on you, and hit him with a head butt; followed immediately by your plague touch. This will inflict an awesome amount of damage on him, and also make him dazed. Next, hit him with Sever Artery and Gash, and keep it up until he falls below ½ (he should be pretty close after those 2 and the headbutt) then finish him off with Final Thrust. The best part is, since he is dazed , you shouldn’t have any problems with him healing himself.
Remember, you can use plague touch, with out this combo, so if you are blinded or something, get it off you! Use Lion Might to heal your self, or if your cocky, you can replace it with Frenzy/Rush (which ever you didn’t take). Pretty simple build. Very effective.

Gear and Attributes:

You want your Sword and Strength to be 12+. It’s up to you if the increased damage is worth the loss in health by using Major and Superior runes. Armor, should definitely give you enough energy for some breathing room. Remember, if you go with the stock 20 energy and then DIE!, you have a –15% penalty and can’t execute your combo, so I’d say 25 energy to be safe. Other then that, the choice is yours. I would heavily recommend the “Furious” mod, as you will charge adrenaline faster. But the new "silencing" mod in NF might be of some interest.

I only see one main problem. The fact that monks with condition removal only take about 1/4-1/2 second to get rid of the condition. But if there isn't a good condition removal monk, or if they don't have fast enough reflexes, you got 'em :D
It might have problem against enemy heroes; their reaction time is hax.

But very good build, I'm stupid and never thought of it. I've also heard of a build like this using Quivering Blade :)

Very good and unique, and I thought Headbutt was worthless. :D

Stop making your guide a link :P

  corkycls on 11/07/06 19:51

ive been using this build for a while. literally, this exact build. if u saw C L S P V P using it thats me. read the headbutt stub under nightfall skills list at wiki. nice guide, im too lazy to make one.

  Future Man on 11/07/06 20:57

yeah i dunno what happened this time

i triple checked to make sure i didnt leave an open link. I went to preview and everything. It looked fine, and you can even see i had the [/URL]

so, balls to that

thanks for the comments.
crokycls, let us know how it works since ive never gotten the chance to play it

Just a suggestion for guides in general, try posting the code for the template as shown the the previous guide, this makes it easier to try them out. Nice Guide!

Nice guide :)

I fixed your link. It seems you owned yourself with shoddy HTML coding I'm afraid!

The correct HTML code for a text link is:

CODE
< a href=\"url\"> text < /a>


Without the spaces before the "a"'s.
You mixed it up with BB code. The correct BB code is:

CODE
[ URL=\"url\"] text [ /URL]


Again, without the spaces. Hope this helps.

Also ignore the backslashes...I honestly have no idea where they came from..

If u like to live, i'd suggest and cancel stance for frenzy...

man...  Caisus Nightshade on 11/08/06 15:35

  mrguildboi on 11/08/06 21:00

I suggest Flail, but you do need 4 Aren for it.
