Rant time
Overrating bad builds is bad. Single target spikes (especially ones with hammer wars that don't have dash) are ridiculously easy to prot/infuse, even if you're the greatest faker in the world. The paragon is god awful, ignoring the fact that he apparently sucks so much that he can't manage 2 energy attacks + stand with GFTE and thus has to waste a skill slot on WY!, players came to the conclusion that a single, unchainable DA is pretty shitty defense months ago, and is thus a waste of your elite slot. Signet of return is fucking terrible; on the off chance that you actually get it off, you'll have had a teammate rezzing for 5s, one down for 5s and he'll come up with at best ~75% health/25% energy. You have a paragon and a hammer, yet only one copy of conc and you put MH! or your ele? Sounds like a good fucking plan to me. On to your rit who's so bad he apparently needs two emanagement skills and doesn't know how to do a proper att split? How is a rit that drops his third weapon spell AND enchantment removal more defense? ESPECIALLY in a spike build. Your shitter mesmer apparently pd-locks himself so much that he needs to take pdrain over pleak meaning you're going to take 5 minutes to even start shutting something down because you have no pblock/pleak. tl;dr this is a really shitty build, with shitty defense that will take a solid 10-15 minutes to win a match (assuming it manages to stay alive that long).--TahiriVeila 17:07, January 28, 2010 (UTC)
 * Actually no.
 * Prots find it extraordinarily hard to prot when they've got a mesmer camping them actually, and there is easily enough damage to kill through an infuse.
 * The Paragon can be on every spike with two spear attacks, keep up either DA or SYG all the time. If you try doing that without WY, you'll fail miserably. DA is a fantastic skill, even if there is only one of them.
 * Does it matter if MH is on your nuker? He can nuke snarers while MHing relic runner, the absolute only disadvantage would be he can't always go for ghostly on the early relic map. The Para bar is too tight to fit it on, but you can always drop SYG + WY and put in MH/FB, you don't have to run these exact bars.
 * Aegis takes care of SoC, and almost no teams are bringing Leech Signet these days, so why waste a skill slot on two?
 * How hard is it to get off Sig of Return when SoC is up? It's not hard to ask a hammer with enraging to give you SoC, and a good one will use it when something dies. It works the same as flesh (for get this, a 1 second longer casting time), and it brings people up with 12x7 = 85% hp most of the time.
 * When your rit is using Channeled Strike on every single spike, while actively protting with weapon spells, he won't even have close to enough energy with OoS. Why are you complaining about losing his enchant strips when there is a mesmer with rend/shatter? I'd rather have him on a 120 dmg spike support then with shitty rend, thats hardly anything to complain about.
 * This isn't a pressure build, and you don't need pleak to shut a prot down, you need to be using shame/diversion. Most mesmers will use those less and use interrupts more, but when you are 321 spiking you need to be shutting down spirit bond + ls, and you won't be pleaking those will you?
 * All of this is just failed theorycrafting by you, the build actually works really well. It's a holding build with a huge spike, good shutdown, and lots of defense. Try playing against it sometime and have fun dealing with DA, SYG, WY, Eruption, 2 perma weapons, 2 monks, and a mesmer/hammer that can both play defensive if we need it. &mdash;The preceding unsigned comment was added by Gringo (talk &bull; contribs) (UTC). 17:21, January 28, 2010 (UTC)
 * lolololol, yes because a veiled prot with spirit bond (only shockwave is under 60) can't get anything off. You're paragon must REALLY suck if he needs two 4adren shouts to maintain energy, DA paragons with two energy based attacks have NEVER had energy problems in the past with just GFTE!, and if they did, that's what a zealous spear when not spiking is for. Lolololololol @ people not bringing leech, I haven't played tombs much in the last 2-3 month but WHENEVER I have the mesmer ALWAYS brings pd/leech/pleak or pblock/cry/leech. EVERY dom mesmer in tombs runs leech. And have you even read the description on pd? IT INTERRUPTS THROUGH CONC SILLY, have fun trying to get off a 5s with a mesmer looking for hard rezzes, even if you have conc up. Most people run their backup hard rez on a mesmer so they get FC + 40/40 set = 1-2s cast time on flesh. And if you run proper attributes on a rit (12+1+2 channeling, 11+1 resto, 6+1 spawning) and have a half competent rit who's actually protting with weapon spells instead of just maintaining them, energy is no problem at all. Shame and diversion are useless if you don't have any pressure, prot can just hold veil or call for a remove from the heal/midline. Please don't tell me this is bad theorycrafting when no one even PLAYS this shitty build.--TahiriVeila 19:13, January 28, 2010 (UTC)
 * Jake I'm sorry to tell you this but you suck pretty bad at theorycrafting. Also, haven't seen a mes run leech in fucking ages, its just not worth it considering 99% of teams are too bad to aegis the soc. /Agree with the zealous spear point tho. You are just naming the counter to every hard rez btw, shit PD goes through SoC on pact 4 sec cast oshtttttttttttttttttttt! Also, rend -> rupt veil = ? I mean, admittedly noone except baz plays it but you saying it can't kill is fucking ridiculous. How else do you think legoway and this build were meta for so long?

And that doesn't change the fact that balanced has more defense that that shitty para provides because active defenses like water eles/melshot rangers are way more effective than passive defenses like aegis.--TahiriVeila 21:28, January 28, 2010 (UTC)

Question
Why have a paragon instead of an MoI? moI + shockwave means you never lose relics, it's just as much spike damage, and you have way more defense through extended utility (snares) and blurred. Just my thoughts.--TahiriVeila 22:26, January 28, 2010 (UTC)
 * A few reasons. He's one of your relic runners (you can make your hammer run if you want, but i love having him to knock down snarers). You underestimate SYG + DA (syg is -35% damage, DA is great for physical heavy teams, including rspike). A water ele won't do much to stop ranged spikes except cast blurred, and SYG is amazing on altars vs aoe. 100 ranged spike damage is pretty good, and the only way to stop him is to blind him, and no one runs blind in HA (except dust trap, and he's standing still anyway). Losing snares for blocks/armor seems like a perfectly acceptable tradeoff, and block/armor help vs a wider variety of things. &mdash;The preceding unsigned comment was added by Gringo (talk &bull; contribs) (UTC). 22:33, January 28, 2010 (UTC)
 * Rspike is dead like today. Blurred gives you the same effect as DA, yeah you lose SWG but you get so much defensive effect out of snares. You shouldn't need earth shaker on snares if you have a pd mes really.--TahiriVeila 22:41, January 28, 2010 (UTC)
 * rspike is far far from dead (just last night we beat Vigor running it), and blurred is only the same if you get it on every physical. lots of teams are running 2-5 physicals, and in 1v1v1 matches you get party wide support versus all physicals. SYG reduces 35% of sh, glaive, shockwave, etc, and thats a much bigger advantage in HA then slowing down melee (when youve got grasping/foes/eruption/da/syg already). &mdash;The preceding unsigned comment was added by Gringo (talk &bull; contribs) (UTC). 22:44, January 28, 2010 (UTC)

 * The update goes live tonight? Also Dee is the best player on this site. I'm pro fort aspenwood, and I has r7 lightbringer on my warrior. :> -- Big McStrongfist  23:09, January 28, 2010 (UTC)
 * The only nerf to water bars is increasing the energy of MoI from 5 to 15, which doesn't change anything. And considering glass and all of the major damage skills in the marks line got nerfed, I'd say it's pretty much dead. I'd still prefer the added utility of a water ele over the passive defense of a paragon. That's just me, I prefer utility over passive defense, but utility barsrequire good players and passive defense doesn't--TahiriVeila 01:48, January 29, 2010 (UTC)

 * wow, i have seen you post comments on peoples builds in the past few days, and unless the build is some meta shit all u want to do is archive it. this build is great and has a massive spike. all you need is shadow walk and dash on the shockwave bar. an evis warrior instead of the paragon and stoning instead of eruption and your golden. don't archive a a good build --PLACE 23:45, 2 January 2011 (UTC)

Dem Updates
This build kinda lost its spiking power :(.-- GWPirate 关 18:19, 7 May 2011 (UTC)
 * it still can spike, some idiot just made the build page bad. took out all the caster damage (c-strike, para), and put return on the ele (which is awful because of aftercast and it doesnt put you next to the target, often on the backside of the ally). better to put an air over para and keep the rit not shitty, but it wont be run because all the good players left the game anyway. Idiot 22:47, 7 May 2011 (UTC)
 * if u dont kill shit with 2wars, sh, shockwave and mes u can just uninstall the game kk bro? CC rit is useless and the SC bar is not shitty. sup . Also, are we playing the same game? Playing Is Srs Bsns 14:00, 17 May 2011 (UTC)
 * so you're saying return on a shockwave ele is good? youve been misinformed sonny. and yes, an ultra defensive rit in an already ultra defensive build is losing so much potential. and are you really complaining about npa in 2011. you took away the whole point of the build (to hold) and made it into some pug-friendly junk. Idiot 16:21, 17 May 2011 (UTC)
 * eruption doesnt make it ultra defensive. i complain about npa cos usogoodthegame. umad? Playing Is Srs Bsns 17:41, 17 May 2011 (UTC)
 * Sorry but this does suck, return on the shockwave is terrible for reasons mentioned above, dash is just as good at dodging prots if you are good at positioning. Dual hammer kinda defeats the point of the build, you are much better with an ele or para (even PoD or RoJ work) don't think you get what the build is for. The version you have posted is just a genuine variation of standard bala (replacing ranger for swave) Rawr 12:11, 23 August 2011 (UTC)

Update
Will update this to make it viable again tonight. It still works fine and should stay in good category. Main changes will involve changing return on ele, removing hammer war, generally updating bars Rawr 12:20, 23 August 2011 (UTC)
 * Just why remove hammer? 2 hamzors are fucking good in this build. --Sewa 14:13, 23 August 2011 (UTC)
 * Because its a completely different concept to the original build, its still viable but it would need a seperate buildpage. This has just made it bala with a swave ele Rawr 18:54, 23 August 2011 (UTC)
 * It's called Shackwave Balanced for a reason. Having only one hammer makes spikes too predictable for a just decent prot. I agree about the shitty return and i prefer an OoS or CC rit, but 2 hammers are better --Sewa 19:35, 23 August 2011 (UTC)
