This build is not favored by the
GuildWiki community.
The general consensus among users of GuildWiki is that this
build is not viable.
This build was voted unfavored for the following reasons:
- Protection build with lacking Spike protection.
- Overkill of Condition Removal.
- Energy problems.
|
The Withdrawal Prot (short for Protection) build uses the
Withdraw Hexes spell to remove area of effect hexes like Shadow of
Fear, Deep Freeze, Soothing Images, Suffering, etc. This eliminates
the chance of removing cover hexes instead of the damaging hex.
[edit] Attributes and Skills
[edit] Equipment
- +10 armor while enchanted
- 20% recharge divine, 10% recharge all divine favor rod
- 20% recharge/10% all recharge protection focus
Notice the Equipment asked for is all recharge time. That is
because cast time should not be an issue, all spells/skills besides
the resurrection skill are 1 second casts or less.
- Holy Veil is just for removing one hex. Simply cast it on
someone with a hex and remove it and one hex will be removed.
- Use Reversal of Fortune for a heal of other players.
- Use Guardian on members of your party being beaten on by
melee.
- Draw conditions is for condition removal of all other players
when there are stacked conditions on numerous players. It transfers
conditions to you (meaning if it is the same condition such as
bleeding on multiple players, you become the only one bleeding).
You can then proceed to use mend ailment or Purge Conditions (see
variants).
- Glyph of Lesser energy then Withdraw Hexes when an AoE hex is
removed. This way it only costs 5 energy.
- Notice this is a Mo/E for a reason. If it was a Mo/Me there
would be no energy management without points in Inspiration
Magic.
- Rebirth is your resurrect. Use it when nobody has a reusable
res.
[edit] Counters
- Diversion --> in this case wait it out.
- Mesmer Interrupts (Rangers have 1/2 second activation in
addition to flight time)
- Hex spam
- Knockdown
- Damage spikes via Shadow Strike, Obsidian Flame, etc.
- Dazed (possibly)
- Barrage as it has
area of effect
[edit] Variants
- Use Purge Conditions instead of Mend Ailment. In this
way, you need to time your condition removal more so that it is not
wasted. It has 4 times the recharge of Mend Ailment.
