 * aka my monk can pwn sp sins just like that too -- Nova  [[Image:Jirouji-Nova.jpg]] --  (contribs) 22:12, 20 August 2007 (CEST)
 * SP sins are attacking immediately after their hex lands, so hex removal is useless 2.6733 seconds after the hex lands(note that 1.7822 seconds after the shadowstep, you get KDed by either build(but the SP sin shadowsteps and hexes simultaneously, so that the mark build hits its KD 2.5322 seconds after the hex lands, as opposed to 1.7822 after the hex for the SP), and you can't kite SP sins, either. Against SP sins, one has almost a second less window to remove the hex in. --Edru viransu //QQ about me 23:38, 20 August 2007 (CEST)
 * Tbh, there was a lot I wanted to say about that build, and why Mark is bad for it, but I didn't figure anyone would read the comments. - [[Image:Kowal.jpg|15px]] Krowman   23:48, 20 August 2007 (CEST)
 * Go ahead. But one thing, Edru, is that SP sins don't really use HotO and even the ones that do, do not guarantee KD. Do you know how the SP build functions? Offhand, dual. Offhand, dual. Both of them require hexes, actually, making the third attack (Black Spider) strike at around 2.7 seconds past Shadow Prison. That is far more than enough time to remove hex, usually I do it and I only get Deep wound and bleeding, dismiss x2 and I'm good. And the SP sin just lost half it's damage. So actually the SP sin also requires a hex (which can be removed) at 2.7 seconds too. -- Nova  [[Image:Jirouji-Nova.jpg]] --  (contribs) 00:58, 21 August 2007 (CEST)
 * SP sins nowadays run SP-TS-BLS-HotO-BSS-BoS-Impale-something else. Usually, Expose goes in that something else, so they've also got a second hex to use, in case one gets removed. You will quite often get KDed, outside of AB, by HotO. I hate SP sins, but I'd still prefer SP when the alternative is both more costly and has more of a window in which one can remove the hex, most of the time. --Edru viransu //QQ about me 04:11, 21 August 2007 (CEST)

Posted my variant(sorry for the typo's, but i can't fix em to proper bar somehow...).

Leetness of that build: Barbs + spears + Shadow Shroud + Shatterstone = dead target. Countering it is fcking hard(shadow shroud), you can infuse but once you've done that they'll die anyway. Hope you'll like it more then the current build, cuz at least I do. Unexist 12:20, 24 August 2007 (CEST)

I read the PvX:WELL u mentioned when you removed my vote. This build is inferior to the other build is it not?-- Victoryisyours 05:09, 26 August 2007 (CEST)
 * What I was referring to was the line that reads like "Do not give a lower rating to a build due to the existence of similar builds." Don't know why I wasn't more elaborate in my comments I usually am. Sorry about any loss of sleep I may have caused you. :) As to whether it is inferior or not is debatable. Like I mentioned, one packs Aegis + e-mgmt, the other brings self-survivability. Personally, I don't like to play RC at all, as, in my opinion, it is too reactive for a Prot build. Protters should be proactive, healers should be reactive. As a monk, you are certainly going to be given a high priority on the target list. Bringing GoLE+Aegis might be nice, but if you become the target of any kind of spike, all you can do is slap RoF and SB on yourself. No GoH, no RC, no nothing that could be filling the slots that Aegis and the Glyph are filling. Besides, with the Aegis area of effect nerf, it isn't used as much anymore. People will usually bring a DA Paragon, and leave their monks to free up skill slots and toughen themselves up. Aegis is just interrupt fodder anyways, since it is usually given away that you are about to use it when you activate GoLE. I may not have the highest opinion on RCs, but we don't have a certified RC master around here, so it'll do. - [[Image:Kowal.jpg|15px]] <font face="dauphin" color="maroon">Krowman    05:25, 26 August 2007 (CEST)
 * Krowman is right. Return/Discipline Stance/Soldier's Defence(although I personally hate it because it gimps your attribs for a few seconds of blocking) are great, especially with the leetness of Guardian now. --<font color="Black">Edru viransu //<font color="Red">QQ about me /sysop 05:47, 26 August 2007 (CEST)

 * Explain please? - [[Image:Kowal.jpg|15px]] <font face="dauphin" color="maroon">Krowman   00:15, 30 August 2007 (CEST)
 * the build in question is very much different in purpose than any similar build. it is for damage reduction, degen, and minor healing. you obviously haven't payed heed to any notes, skill synergies, or anything other than a near-meaningless test taken on some random great temple dummies.

Actually try and look at the build for you are not even looking at the skills and the chain reaction of damage. Actually try to test the build instead of just going 0,0,0... pointless. Actually try reading the description and how DEADLY ARTS: gives the damage for the spells. -Miekit
 * Um, what? DA is lower on Mes prime because you have no runes, thus lower damage. I was playing Assacaster earlier today, I know about the 'chain reaction.' Point to giving it a 0-0-0 is to put it into Trash and maintain a higher standard of quality on the wiki. - [[Image:Kowal.jpg|15px]] <font face="dauphin" color="maroon">Krowman   05:40, 30 August 2007 (CEST)
 * Yet I dont get why you put it there if you don't even try to test it before rating it. it actually works its effectiveness of the build is really good so why put 0 when its actual rating chud be around 3 or 4? Oh and DP doesen't recharge as fast as symbolic Posture so you can spike your enemy faster with Signet of Toxic Shock. The use Of Mesmer as the primary is that it allows the spells to be casted instantly instead of having to wait 1 or 2 seconds for it to take effect. -Miekit
 * Because it pales in comparison to other builds. Whether you like it or not, people will be comparing your build to others that are feasible, that's the only way to judge its quality and effectiveness. You need to know what fails to know what will work, right? This doesn't work as well as the A/Me with EDrain. None of those A/Me skills take 2 seconds to cast, and after DP, only EDrain takes 1. Also, you need a rez for RA, because no matter how good you are, you can expect to be paired up with a moron. - [[Image:Kowal.jpg|15px]] <font face="dauphin" color="maroon">Krowman   05:51, 30 August 2007 (CEST)
 * I forgot to put Res Sig in Varients to switch with SP... and on the discussion page i've gotten awesome comments of how well the build may work or how good it looks and is... but dont forget about the build vetting policy which says not to vote badly based on the presence of duplicate or similar builds it is your job as an Admin to support that!-miekit
 * Those are their opinions, not facts. Now you swap out SP for the (mandatory) rez, and your build may as well be A/*. Your only advantage is faster (than 1/2 second) casting, which matters little, but if you really wanted i, you could use Deadly Haste, save the attribute points and make use of runes to deal more damage, have better armor, and function as a better teammate. Don't tell me how to do my job kthnx, you're quoting PW:WELL not PW:VETTING. - [[Image:Kowal.jpg|15px]] <font face="dauphin" color="maroon">Krowman   06:04, 30 August 2007 (CEST)

 * No worries. Just let it work its way through the vetting process and see what other users have to say. In future instances, this discussion should be taking place at the build talk page, so I'm going to export it there. - [[Image:Kowal.jpg|15px]] <font face="dauphin" color="maroon">Krowman   06:14, 30 August 2007 (CEST)
