The Spike Friendly Spikers team build uses monk and
ritualist skills to counter spikes while using a thumper and
anti-caster to kill the other team. This build is designed for team
arenas.

[edit] Equipment
Any armor and weapons are fine. The monk may want to get a -5
energy melee weapon for focus switching.
At the beginning of the game, the monk should put life bond on
everyone and Balthazar's Spirit on himself. The monk
then just uses blessed signet to get his energy up before the
start. The ritualist should use ritual lord and boon of creation
and cast union then shelter (make sure to do this for addition
reduction) in the back. He should then put Shadowsong right next to
the monk and rush up to the front line to put Pain and Dissonance up there. He should keep Boon of
Creation and Ritual Lord up at all times. Also Shelter should be the biggest
priority, it is required to get rid of spikes. The Mesmer should
cast his anti-caster spells on the monk and interrupt him. The
thumper should daze him then kill him. Once the monk is dead the
thumper and anti-caster should just kill everyone else. The Monk
during battle should use Reversal of Fortune and Dismiss
Condition as the main heals. To counter spikes the monk should
use Zealous Benediction. Only use zb when
they are below 50 percent health or you will drain your energy.
[edit] Counters
Enchantment removal and Searing Flames spike builds can be a pain, but
you can still win.
[edit] Variants
You could replace the Thumper with a Burst Of Aggression
assassin but that is not recommended.
The mesmer must always remove the harmful hexes from the monk,
the monk should call the hexes as soon as he gets them. The
ritualist must be careful of energy, do not use a spirit unless
that spirit is already dead or he will have no energy. I have tried
the rt multible times and even if they attack the spirits he should
have enough energy. The mesmer also has protetive spirit in case
shelter is gone and you are facing a spiking team. This should be
cast on everyone if energy primites and should be kept up until the
ritualist either gets union or shelter up.
