Name that build! (note: NOT SPAM!!!)

[ChickenSoup]

I judged that note as necessary due to an incident in the Assignment: Writing forums.

Anyway, I saw this really weird build in HoH (well not there per se but in the battles before that) with which a couple necros controlled 3-4 flesh golems and used those to keep the monks busy while they sit there and taunt us and use other guys to attack us while we were attacking the golems and long story short not one of their guys died but we lost rather quickly.

Has anyone else seen this and do you know what it is called? I'm curious.

[one2dredd]

hmmmmm have not seen that one. What build were you running? It sounds like good counters to it are Balanced with a Warder Ele and ViM Trappers and dual Smite.

[ChickenSoup]

I had:

1 WoH/HP
1 Boon Prot
1 Spirit spammer
1 Interrupt Ranger
1 AoE Nuker
1 Starburst
2 Shock Wars


Or something like that. It was a while ago. I'll take a screenshot if I run into it again.

[one2dredd]

I am interested how it worked lol. 3 Flesh Golems sounds kinda fun :)

[ChickenSoup]

Yeah, for THEM. :P it killed us... I think I'll name it "Balancedbane"

[wishanem]

Where did they get the first corpses for the golems? I can't imagine they'd have too much damage dealing with that setup. I'd expect 3 monks in that build, because the Golems' health generally relies on the Necs being healthy.

ya it sounds hard to start, but afterward c$ is dead. I'll name it the c$ killer. (they saw you and started the build.)
hm.. I have a question (not to highjack the thread) i have a ranger/monk and i want to PvP more. what builds should i look into. i know ViM is popular but what else. thx guys!

[ChickenSoup]

ViM is for R/Ws. R/Mo might make some sort of trapper, but mostly in PvE... if you were R/Me you could use the Cripshot build.. well, then I don't know.

Anyway, no I don't know where the corpses came from, which I find to be weird because I don't remember people dying for them (of course, they leave an exploitable one... infernal things...)


EDIT: Maybe this is some weird version of MF with saccers and stuff. Probably not, because then you wouldn't have room for much besides necros.

ARGH!!! I MUST FIND THAT BUILD!!!

[one2dredd]

Ranger Spike and to be ViM you need to be a R/W also Sometimes they need a Trapper in other build not sure what they usually use.

Maybe you could call it the Frankenstein build?

[vibrokatana]

how about the Franken$oup build?

[ChickenSoup]

We need Pastori to fight these guys... since, although they can, he cannot be nerfed :P

[vibrokatana]

we should clone pastori and make a pure "pastori pwnage guild"

[ChickenSoup]

YEAH!

[[toj.cc]phantom]

r u shur?

[vibrokatana]

imagine how much money we could make with an army of pastoris :P

[ChickenSoup]

Maybe we could make a whole seperate GUILD of Pastoris??

It would have to be saccers, C$. Otherwise where would the golems come from? If you made golems from the NPCs at the beginning they wouldn't stick around afterwards (as far as I know). You'd have to make them from a saccer - however the saccer would only have to die thrice, because when the flesh golems die you can use their own corpses to make new ones, assuming nobody beats you to exploiting the corpse.

I wouldn't be surprised if the saccer were a ritualist, because his only other job would be to stay behind and spam spirits.

If you run into that build again, under no circumstances should you attack the flesh golems. Not that I can tell you exactly what you SHOULD attack. But the necros will use death nova to do massive damage when their golems die. Probably they would all three stack death novas on whichever golem was going down.

So my best guess about the makeup of this kind of build:

3 necros
1 ritualist saccer
3 monks, maybe bonders?
1 whatever

too bad their is a cap on the flesh golems or you could spoof elites of off the other necros, imagine having 6 golems :P

[Draken]

I've fought this build in HoH also, it was unexpected (where'd they get the bodies). It confused the PUG and they won, but if you have a coordinated team and ignore the golems and hit the monks, I don't think they would get very far. This build could also be shut down by an opposing nec spaming a well to stop the re-creation of the golems.

[Stc95]

and the mesmer skill(s) um.. signet of humility disables the elite skill for 1-? seconds, idk sounds like a hard build to stop, i guess just dont die and dont let the saccer die or stop the Flesh Golem skill??
