The PvE Build Discussion - February 14, 2008
Armor of Salvation.png

For a long time I'm shy about discussing my builds but how else can I improve? So I decided to try do something new. I plan to try to from time to time post a build I use so anybody interested can discuss with me how to improve on it or at least explain to me why it sucks or whatnot. I know some people are of the mindset that you can pretty much run anything in the PvE game. Ok, no real argument there but I'd like to learn how to improve upon a build. If you'd like to see previous builds, you may visit Build Archives. Here's the build I'd like to discuss:

Poisoned Splintered Volley PvE Version[edit]

Activate "I Am The Strongest!", Poison Tip Signet, then Splinter Weapon before attacking using Volley. Troll Unguent is self-heal as you know. Lively Was Naomei is there so I'd have a way to rez. Melandru's Resilience was an afterthought and Summon Naga Shaman just for the laughs. I just got my first Asura skill and wanted to give it a whirl.

I used a Vampric (5/-1) Shortbow of Fortitude (30) with this build.

Please put your feedback in this page - thanks!

Update[edit]

Perhaps I just need to learn how to play Melandru's Resilience better but I decided to make modifications to the above build after a failed attempt to take down Z'him Monns with a H&H team. Now it's this...

Broad Head Arrow is obviously for casters - to daze them. "You Move Like a Dwarf!" is a nice fast back-up KD interrupt for Spirit Rift. Light of Deldrimor - since I'm going into Bogroot Growths, why not? Took down that ritualist boss without any problems.
