User:Ekko/Barrier Farm

Notice
Development on thius build has been stopped. It works, but so slowly that it's rather laughable. Also, Retribution and Holy Wrath don't work when you take no damage >,<

The Barrier Farm team uses the damage reduction from Life Barrier and Life Bond, plus the damage from Retribution and Holy Wrath to turn any other charactter into an indestrucable farming machine.

Team Composition

 * 1x Any/E Stoneflesh Tank
 * 1x Mo/Any Barrier Smiter

Stoneflesh Tank
[build prof=any/e earth=12][Stoneflesh Aura][Glyph of Elemental Power][Optional][Optional][Optional][Optional][Optional][Optional][/build]

Equipment
 * Any armor
 * Any weapon of enchanting

Usage
 * Keep up Stoneflesh Aura constantly.
 * Tank stuff

Notes
 * One of the optional skills must be a form of protection for the short delay between the casting of Stoneflesh. Shielding Hands is a good choice
 * It is more effective if the tank is an elementalist primary, but it is not necessary (the only upside to a primary ele is that Stoneflesh can be maintained constantly at 16 Earth Magic, freeing up the two more skill slots)
 * A Mesmer primary with points in fast casting can also be used, with the same advantages as an ele primary,
 * All other skills can be damage skills

Barrier Smiter
[build prof=mo/any prot=12+1+3 smi=12][Life Barrier][Life Bond][Retribution][Holy Wrath][Optional][Optional][Optional][Rebirth][/build] Equipment
 * A Smiting Prayers Headpiece with a Superior Smiting rune on it.

Usage
 * Cast Life Barrier then Life Bond on the tank
 * Switch your headpiece and cast Retribution and Holy Wrath on the tank
 * Run back to avoid aggro

Variants
A probable tank variant would be as follows: [build prof=me/e fast=9+1 inspiration=9+1 earth=12][Stoneflesh Aura][Glyph of Elemental Power][Mantra of Earth][Stone Striker][Crystal Wave][Teinai's Crystals][Shockwave][Channeling][/build]
