[edit] Request-A-Build!

Have a concept? Got a good elite but no way to make it work? Mortgage rates climbing? No need to fear! Just post your idea here and I'll give you a reply. Before you post your build, check your concept here!

Warning: The following text contains spoilers relating to the plot of Bad Builds 101.

Help Rapta, I can't find a use for Healing Hands! I was thinking about using Mo/Me with Arcane Echo and also spamming Healing Breeze. For my maintained enchantment I just had to use Mending, I mean seriously...health regeneration is teh pwnage! Any suggestions? I know it's a wonderful concept, but it just won't work for me! Entropy 23:50, 2 January 2007 (CST)

That's a tough one. Mostly, I'd suggest you take Mantra of Inscriptions, but that's just me! =P

Consider this:

Of course, you'll want a 20% enchanting mod. — Rapta

Ugh, Rapta, it actually works on a Hero. >< Entropy 18:25, 20 January 2007 (CST)

Lol, what an interesting feature. I've got one for you: Broad Head Arrow. I gave it a shot over on Build:R/A BHA Utility. Let's see you work your magic with this unsavoury Elite? :-) - Krowman 14:46, 3 January 2007 (CST)

Isn't in the General Interrupter build? — Rapta

(talk|contribs) 15:48, 4 January 2007 (CST)

Hey Rapta, what do you think of this? Its a Mo/Me build that I've tested, but I need a second opinion on it. --- Dragonnosaurus Rex 15:28, 12 January 2007 (CST)

Have had hundreds of builds like that deleted and removed from the Wiki, so don't expect to get anywhere with that. =P — Rapta

(talk|contribs) 16:11, 12 January 2007 (CST)

Rapta, you have any ideas for Light of Deliverance? Preferably something in Healing Prayers.--Nog64 19:12, 14 January 2007 (CST)

Been working on this one: Build:Mo/any Light of Deliverance Hybrid. — Rapta

(talk|contribs) 17:23, 18 January 2007 (CST)

I found Build:Mo/any Light of Deliverance Hybrid, too. Both OK.--Nog64 21:12, 18 January 2007 (CST)

Find me a use for Lyssa's Aura. Seems like it can be mildly useful. I want to use a non-Illusion/Domination elite on my mesmer for once. >_> --Nocturne 23:06, 24 January 2007 (CST)

Need a setting first. =) — Rapta

(talk|contribs) 02:33, 27 January 2007 (CST)

Find a good use for Keystone Signet. Good luck. 213.84.230.131 19:04, 26 January 2007 (CST)

I need a setting. — Rapta

(talk|contribs) 02:33, 27 January 2007 (CST)

Could you make an elementalist solo UW earth build using Stoneflesh Aura and Sandstorm or Shockwave (either elite is fine). It has to be able to kill smites and graspings, and also has to get past the aatxes (or kill them). GL! Dross 18:51, 27 January 2007 (CST)

Have one already. =P — Rapta

(talk|contribs) 15:12, 29 January 2007 (CST)

You have any idea of how to make Savannah Heat work? I know this is a hard one...84.167.183.72 15:03, 29 January 2007 (CST)

Damn, haven't gotten there yet. We had a project on Savannah a while back, but it didn't turn out too well. — Rapta

(talk|contribs) 15:12, 29 January 2007 (CST)

I tried a few ideas of my own today- and none of them really worked out. Maybe this weekend brings some changes that finally make Savannah Heat a valid choice. So far I'm staying with my renewal nuker... 84.167.172.225 12:37, 1 February 2007 (CST)

Sadly, Savannah is still as useless as before the update- if not even more so. If you have any ideas on how to make this work, please contact me. If not, I'll just put into the same category as Thunderclap.Lux Terribilis 17:51, 3 February 2007 (CST)

I have a good one. Make Amity work.--Nog64 20:41, 31 January 2007 (CST)

Again, I need a concept, not just an elite skill. Where do you want it used? Why? — Rapta

(talk|contribs) 12:39, 1 February 2007 (CST)

Ooooh! My turn!
Make a Hammergon with ~~Enraged Smash~~ any elite. I drafted some ideas. Doom Music 14:55, 1 February 2007 (CST)

~~Build:W/any Enraged Hammer?(Mine)--Nog64 16:13, 1 February 2007 (CST)~~

Build:P/W ParaThumper. — Rapta

(talk|contribs) 16:19, 1 February 2007 (CST)

I'm working on a W/D Hammer build with Twin Moon Sweep, but it's not going so well. Probably would be used in PvP, since in PvE the whole Prot Strike spike thing doesn't work so well. Any suggestions? Entropy 21:26, 1 February 2007 (CST)

IMO that's sorta narrow, but here's an idea:

Precast Guiding Hands before your spike. Devastating and Crushing are unblockable, finish off with Twin Moon. Tiger Stance for IAS (switchable with Frenzy or Flail), Rush for speed boost (switchable with ECharge or Sprint). Switch Guiding Hands for Lyssa's Haste and swap out Rush if you want, or swap out Guiding Hands for any other 5 energy ench a Derv can have. — Rapta

Thanks, I'll let you see the final product when it's ready. Posting to namespace, ofcourse >< Entropy 21:42, 1 February 2007 (CST)

Hey Rapta, make me a PvE orientated Punishing Shot build, hehe Wanderer Mephisto 02:35, 14 February 2007 (CST)

Have that already. =P — Rapta

(talk|contribs) 01:01, 23 February 2007 (CST)

General Interrupter is bollocks, I want teh spikeh Punishing 211.30.152.252 01:13, 23 February 2007 (CST)

Can I have a woh healing build for pve pl0x? I use breeze, woh, devotion, heal other, cap sig, cap sig, cap sig, and rebirth, which is pretty bad :( got me through all of prpohs though 72.192.54.23 17:53, 3 February 2007 (CST)

See Build:Mo/Me PvE WoH Monk. — Rapta

(talk|contribs) 18:08, 3 February 2007 (CST)

Hiya, Rapta, do you think can find a decent way to solo farm with a Paragon? It doesn't matter what the monster is, as long as its simple to get to and is WORTH farming. Thanks! Sora267 18:04, 15 February 2007 (CST)

Unfortunately, Paragons were designed almost entirely with "Party Support" in mind. A huge, huge part of their energy management is behind Leadership, and that is totally gimp without a party. Not saying it can't be done, it's just going to have to be really creative. Doom Music 14:50, 16 February 2007 (CST)

Which is why I came here. If anyone has the creativity to come up with it, it would most likely be Rapta. =P Sora267 18:10, 16 February 2007 (CST)

Hey Rapta, I need help! I don't have a Dervish but I have this idea for a D/Me build. I want to test it before I even put it on build stubs, but as you can see, I can't... If you could even just take a look at it and reply I would be ever greatful! AmericanVlad 21:09, 15 February 2007 (CST)

Illusion of Weakness

Faithful Intervention

Watchful Intervention

I wouldn't go in the direction of making a build around a profession, but more one that suits a purpose. I don't see any compatibility between those two professions, especially with Illusion of Weakness and such. I would probably just use the mesmer secondary for Hex Breaker or a Mantra. — Rapta

(talk|contribs) 00:51, 23 February 2007 (CST)

Hi Rapta, just wondering if you think there is any way to make an Echo/Doom build work. My previous attempt can be found here, but now that Bloodsong has been moved to Channeling I've decided to start over. I'm currently thinking of trying it with Empowerment and Mighty Was Vorizun for energy, and Ghostly Haste to increase the spam speed (since I'll no longer get HSR from weapons if I'm holding an item). What do you think? -- BrianG 15:09, 16 February 2007 (CST)

Hey Rapta, you seem to be the build expert around here so I wanted to run this by you. Any ideas on a W/D build using Onslaught and Burst of Agression using Scythe and Scythe attack skills. I had something like this, but I'm sure it can be improved.

Using a Scythe on a Warrior is not a good thing to be doing. However, you can probably use the non-scythe melee attacks to some effectiveness. — Rapta

To the person who PM'ed me ingame, here's your Mark of Protection build:

Healing-Prot Hybrid, basically. No GoH since you're already disabling your Prot skills. — Rapta (talk|contribs) 01:01, 23 February 2007 (CST)

SH Build:

— Rapta (talk|contribs) 17:14, 27 February 2007 (CST) Hey Rapta, I saw you did some builds... I made a spirit spam build, and I was wondering if you could see anything you could improve upon. The idea is to use Expertise to reduce cost and Oath Shot to recharge them...any suggestions on it? This Link =p
