The Wild Melandru is a general PvE build using Avatar of Melandru both to provide a base
for dealing damage and also to stay alive. The build also uses Wild
Blow to both prevent evasion stances (used often in Nightfall PvE) and deal
high damage via criticals.
[edit] Attributes and Skills
- Note, you can use either a Superior or Major Scythe Mastery
rune..
[edit] Equipment
- Any armor works, yet Radiant is probably best because of the high energy
usage of the Avatar.
- Again, any weapon works, however Vampiric or Zealous weapons probably work best.
Just before entering the fray, cast Avatar of Melandru and Vital Boon. When
enemies are gathered around, use Eremite's Zeal to gain back energy and
then proceed to spam your attacks. Use Wild Blow to add extra damage and also to
break stances. Chilling
Victory is best used when there are lots of enemies close
because the damage can quickly add up, dealing in excess of 100
damage to nearby foes. Spam Wearying Strike as much as you can, energy
permitting. Victorious Sweep should both be used as a
heal and as a damage attack. You should try to maintain Vital Boon
at all times, but if in need of a quick health boost, feel free to
use Eremite's Zeal, triggering the 'health on end' effect. When you
Avatar is down, it is especially important to keep up Vital Boon.
Also, use Chilling Victory more wisely - its relatively high
recharge means you should only use it when you know you are above
your target's health. Feel free to use Wearying Strike when your
Avatar is down, yet it is advisable to make sure you have monks
that can remove conditions first.
[edit] Counters
- Foes with very high health - eg bosses or enemies that use
health buffs.
- Energy denial seriously hurts this build as does Death Penalty.
If your DP is too high, you won't have enough energy to cast Avatar
of Melandru without a +energy weapon set to swap to.
[edit] Variants
Vital Boon and Eremite's Zeal are replacable, just use your own
form of energy management. You could also use a different set of
attack skills, yet the ones listed work very well.
