Opinions on my Spike Form

[MuramasaX]

Hello everyone.

I'd like to hear your opinions on my spike build. I'll be posting up what it'll look like at the end-game.

:lak::malehero::spt:
:arc::vik::pro:
:mnk::exo::ora:

Archers are meant to take out enemy range ASAP, with partiular emphasis on gunners and cannons, so as to prevent stun.
As I've heard LK is primarily for PVP, I was thinking about replacing her with another monk and moving the viking upfront.

I was thinking about picking up a :inv: and :jan:, but I have no idea who to drop...

that looks awfully similar to my friends spike form a few months back when she still played

it was this as sword main

:femalehero::spt::vik: (north)
:pro::exo::arc:
:ora::mnk::jan:

it work for her in div 1 and 2 as a level 110 sword main with 103+ mercs

[MuramasaX]

Yeap, that pretty much looks the same as mine, and I may be heading down that path too.

I am contemplating putting in a 2nd monk instead of the Janni, since it seems like it'd be hard to have a good chance of winning without going DMF; once they nerf the monk though, it's likely I'm switch out one of the monks for one of the new mercs, perhaps the new bow or musician merc.

this is exactly my formation too
except i dont hv a spartan yet (BT instead)

for pvp, i prefer DMF
so the oracle is replaced by monk
u hv 2bow so u don't use seth too much
and without HG, the archer dies easily
however u can't use HG often with only 1monk

Well, HG kinda got nerfed in the last patch, so I'm only using a single monk, whose primary job is keeping the majority of my team from getting stunned.

I may switch to playing stun-pressure as I mentioned in my first post, as I've already bought the Janni and Inventor summon orbs. I could drop the Oracle for a Hwarang in PVP, but I find it such a pain to have to level a substitute merc.

I'm planning on dropping the Archer and Prophet for the Inventor and Jannisary, so the Shaman/Oracle will have to stay for healing purposes.

Should look like this:

:lak::malehero::spt:
:jan::vik::inv:
:mnk::ora::exo:

This will likely be my PVE and PVP formation, unless I decide to Amnesia my SwordMain into a SpearMain and play a AP Drain/Stun build.
