Looking for Advice on upcoming Build

[Lennex]

I've managed to reach division 16 by simple tactics like sniping the other main, but it's pretty obvious that it's more complicated than that, since I've lost to other teams with stun...and monks. I'm about 200 experience away from level 30, so I get to have another merc!

My current formation looks something like this:

:swm: --------- :swm:
:arc: --------- :gun:
:sha: --------- :malehero:

My main is a musician.

I'm thinking about going with something like this:

:swm::vik::swm:
:art: --------- :malehero:
:sha: --------- :mnk:

(artillerists can stun, right? I know that Vikings have freezing axe that can help out too? :confused:)

Anyone have any tips on how I can make my team better? I'd like a decent-good pvp team because I've heard that pvp teams can pve, but pve teams can't necessarily pvp. I'd like a team that can do it all! :D

yes artys can indeed stun and its a life saver.....

as for your second formation it looks really good!

at 40 id try and do this

:swm::vik::swm:
:art::bst::femalehero:
:mnk: :sha:

[FrostySplat]

your second formation is good
@lollol507
his formation should be like this
:swm::vik::swm:
:art::malehero::bst:
:mnk::sha::mnk:

actually, I'd disagree with frosty here. between BT and viking, BT is the obvious choice to go in front instead. But I wouldn't put BT in the build. I'd try the one below.

:swm::swm::vik:
:mnk::malehero::art:
:exo::gun::mnk:

this is so, while one monk is under HG, the other monk still gets to enjoy speedcast. exo is mandatory if you want to be decent at stunning. no way to stop monk from awakening = fail stun build.

musician use ravaging melody, and viking to use freeze to 'distract' ppl from ur stun pressure. noobs will HG, ppl who are smarter choose awakening. after all, melting under dots is better than being stunned, and not moving and then getting the dots just a little later.

can replace gunner with inventor (lvl 84) or jani (lvl 96). arty and cannoneer is a bit of a toss-up. deep insight is awesome in pve, smoke bomb is kinda...situational (or rather, less useful), but it shines in the right situations (certainly not the kind where your opponents enjoys accuracy buffs that pretty much negate smoke bomb), like making certain, low-accuracy mob miss, and miss and miss your mercs while u slowly kill it.

however, in pve, you may want to swap out one monk for shaman.

Uh... anything can stun. Just happens that Cannons and Guns are the best for it :D
