The Nightmare Spike team consists of Ritualist/Rangers that use Nightmare Weapon with Bow Attacks to
create a Life Stealing Spike, similar to that of previous Blood Magic spike
teams.

[edit] The Zealous Benediction Monk
- All Ritualists cast Nightmare Weapon and Kindle arrows before
each spike.
- The caller will then do your standard " 3 , 2 , 1 Spike! " via
Team Speak or Ventrilo.
- All Spikers then fire Dual Shot, quickly followed by
Distracting Shot for a devastating and virtually irresistible
spike.
- Ritualists should use Natural Stride to kite away from Melee
opponents, beware that monks enchantments will end it
prematurely.
- Spirits should be used according to the map, ( Favorable Winds
and Bloodsong
aside.)
- For use on the Monk builds go the "See Also" section of this
article.
[edit] Counters
- Life Stealing is unblockable damage, but the ritualist are
casters and are very fragile.
- "Shields Up!", Aegis and other standard weapon based
counters.
[edit] Variants
- Monks can change to Elementalist secondaries for access to Glyph of Lesser Energy and Aegis.
- Ritualists can opt for Seeking Arrows to help narrow the margin of
failed spikes.
- The spikers can drop Kindle Arrows for another channeling spike
esque spell.
- Monks can drop channeling, or the entire Mesmer profession, for
different utility skills such as Dark Escape, Glyph
of Lesser Energy, etc.
- Lively Was Naomei can be run to pierce
through Frozen Soil when needed, additionally Rupture Soul can be
brought to get rid of your Spirits (frozen soil in particular)
should they become a hinderance.
