This is primarily for PvE,
but can also work well for Alliance Battles. It works by using Apply Poison, Sever Artery and
Gash for heavy degen and
conditions, using "Victory is Mine!" for a heal
and energy regain, combined with some nice spike skills too.
[edit] Attributes and Skills
- An IAS like Tiger Stance (would
require attribute adjustments) would be the best choice for lower
level areas, but for high level areas where staying alive is
harder, Troll
Unguent or Healing Signet would be better. You should
take Troll Unguent for areas with health degeneration.
[edit] Equipment
- Armor: Gladiator's Armor would probably be best,
but any armor should suffice.
- Runes: The highest Vigor and Absorption runes possible.
- Weapons: Any sword will do, but a Zealous prefix would probably help the
most.
Before the fight, use Apply Poison. Run into the fray and use Hamstring as an
opening move, to give your foe two conditions and prevent them from
running away. Continue to build adrenaline, then proceed to use
Sever and Gash, and then Final Thrust if the target is below 50% health.
Make sure to use ViM before your target dies for that Health and
Energy, but try to get as many Conditions as possible on them first. If taking
the healing skills, use them when your Monk and ViM aren't up to
it.
[edit] Counters
Primarily, your biggest counter in PvE is non fleshy creatures,
which renders half your bar useless. When using it for AB,
condition removing monks can be very irritating.
[edit] Variants
- Leave out Resurrection Signet in alliance battles.
- This build can be used with an axe as well. Cyclone Axe is ideal in
that case
- If you want to drop tactics and go for a slightly more
offensive form of the build, use this skillbar:
Warrior / Ranger
