This is the single most intense melee-hate/shutdown build
available right now in Guild Wars.
[edit] Attributes and Skills
Power Drain
should be likely be used in place of channeling in TA, however
channeling should be used in HA and elsewhere.
[edit] Equipment
- Tormentors on hands feet and face, radiant on chest, survivor's
on legs. Superior or Major vigor is required.
- 1 handed staff with 20% recharge and 20% casting time of skills
of curses
- off-hand with 20% recharge and 20% casting time of skills of
curses
- secondary weaponset: 1 handed staff with 20% recharge and 20%
casting time of skills of inspiration with 20/20 offhand for
inspiration.
- Rune of Vigor (superior being preferred)
- 2 runes of Attunement
- Maintain Channeling.
- Start off with Spiteful Spirit>Reckless Haste>Price of
Failure>Parasitic Bond on the closest melee'r
- Scroll to the next target using tab or the "]" key, and cast
parastic bond - this will (most likely) ensure 120 HP about every 5
seconds after the first 20 second gap is closed, as parasitic bond
heals you after 20 seconds.
- Continue, Casting Spiteful Spirit when it is charged, and cast
parasitic bond right after it to "cover" it incase of hex
removal.
- When Price of Failure, Spirit of Failure, and Reckless Haste
are recharged, be sure to cast them on a melee'r and cover them
with parastic bond.
- If you only have five energy (first cast channeling) then cast
ether phantom on someone.
- Note: you get a 71% chance miss ratio (of them missing 71% of
the time) with all three "miss" spells on them and if reckless
haste is casted first.
[edit] Variant
- Using Signet of Midnight rather than Spiteful
Spirit to make enemies miss and trigger price of failure more often
while protecting the player even more.
- Using Diversion
in place of backfire to disable an ememy's ability to use skills,
this also works on attack skills and not just "Spells."
- Using Wastrel's Worry or Parasitic Bond to
pressure the target and to cover the more important hexes.
- Cast Price of Failure, Reckless Haste, Empathy, Life Siphon,
and Diversion on any melee enemy
- Cast Signet of Midnight to make target blind
- Cast Wastrel's Worry to deal damage
[edit] Counters
- Reckless Haste increases attack speed to increase damage from
the other hexes and is therefore very important.
- To optimize the damage output of Spiteful Spirit, try to get
enemies to clump together.
- With the first build, the enemy will take 80 damage every time
they attack.
- For a list of how fast each type of enemy will attack, see Attack
speed.
