Music Build

[Frag]

Hello all, I'm stuck between two builds i want to use right now.
Although I'm mostly a dot/stun build, I want ur advice on what to choose.

:spt::malehero::vik:
:mnk::jan::can:
:inv::mnk::exo:

Or....

:spt::malehero::vik:
:inv::mnk::can:
:mnk::ora::exo:

I'm a music main, btw.

I'll go with the 2nd one. ur ranged mercs are sorta squishy with no healer, and no passive heal too.

[Frag]

Yes, i know, but isn't the stun pressure worth it?
I mean, i am very conservative of my ap regeneration considering I'm not over lvl 100 yet.

[Calibrex]

You need to rearrange your mercs

:malehero::spt::vik:
:jan::can::mnk:
:ora::mnk::inv:

2 melee? And no exo? This completely destroys any stun opportunites, and everyone will be spiking my viking.

I was wondering if i could just have a dmf, and have dot/stun.

Idk if dot/stun/spike builds are effective, but if it is i would go for something like this:

:malehero::exo::spt:
:jan::can::mnk:
:pra::mnk::inv:

[Calibrex]

wow, I do not know what I was smoking! Yes you do need an exo!

the formation I listed, you have a few choices for changes:

-take out oracle for exo
-take out jani for exo
-take out monk for exo

I take the 2nd too

u got a good stun pressure with cannoneer and inventor.
And remember, DoT is u main... stun pressure is consequence.
Cannoneer + invetor is good to break enemy scroll's...

any else?

Well i certainly have been testing these builds, and I have to say that jani is better for some situations while oracle may be a life saver in others. One problem I've been facing with inv + cannon is witch scrolling -.-. Since a giant ballista is not available at my lvl, i am forced to use siege catapult. Regular ballista is incompetent when stunning, so my stun pressure can be eliminated for the first three-five turns against smfs, which is crucial when starting your stun pressure.

On the other hand, jani + cannon + inv can attack every single mercenary every turn but my build may be soft to snipe/spike builds or anything of the like.

Then if you want cann, jani, and inv:

:vik::bst::malehero:
:can::jan::inv:
:mnk::exo::ora:

This would be a nice build.... if war cry and stun pressure were not a factor.
Since at least half of the builds in higher lvls consist of war cry, stun pressure, and occasional ap drain.... I would mostly spend my monk's ap to try to retard any stun pressure.

[Calibrex]

then move oracle up and something behind her.


I used this build up to lvl 100 and past it, and have not had any stun issues nor warcry issues.

[Locksley]

but wat div ur in calibrex? just asking. while stun pressure is not an issue with 1 monk+speedcast, warcry, in the long run can be an issue u dun really feel until its...kinda late.
