User:Cranium/PATASpike

This team build is designed to effectively destroy PATA in HA or GvG. This build uses known counters to PATAs inability to play. These counters are: Any type of frontline, any type midline, backline with axe skills. Soul Binds are the most effective midliners against PATA because he always party heals through them without Spirit Bond. A P Rage mesmer is also used to run 7 rupts with Serpent's Quickness to quickly make PATA so mad that he stops playing to start trash talking. RaO is the best type of frontline to run against PATA because he thinks its a spike. PATA also eats Decapitate from Monks. This is considered a "spike build" because Pata gets spiked out by Soul Bind every game.

P Rage Mesmer
[build prof=Me/R][Psychic Instability][Power Leak][Power Spike][Distracting Shot][Cry of Frustration][Power Drain][Leech Signet][Serpent's Quickness][/build]

Usage

 * Hone your interrupt skills in the mountains.
 * Or just use a bot.
 * Make sure to trash talk PATA so he keeps typing and not playing.
 * Actually you may not want to do that because he will drop pots and die faster from Soul Binds.

Wammo Healer
[build prof=W/Mo][Infuse Health][Healing Hands][Healing Signet][Purge Signet][Shield Stance][Holy Veil][Signet of Stamina][Dolyak Signet][/build]

Usage

 * Why not run a Warrior infuse? The only spike PATA knows how to run is Invoke. Pata also runs Rspike but I would call it Rspam.
 * Why run a healer at all then? Because PATA knows people who know people who know people that occasionally come attempt to carry him but usually fail.

Decapitate Healer
[build prof=Mo/W][Patient Spirit][Frenzy][Decapitate][Deny Hexes][Divine Intervention][Remove Hex][Disciplined Stance][Resurrection Signet][/build]

Usage

 * Decapitate stuff.
 * Why run rez sig? Incase your team is afk and PATA manages to get past Archer's without wiping.

2007 Flagger
[build prof=Mo/E][Zealous Benediction][Protective Spirit][Mending Touch][Aegis][Contemplation of Purity][Remove Hex][Glyph of Lesser Energy][Storm Djinn's Haste][/build]

Usage

 * PATA always talks about how people are 2012 bads so you run this Zealous Benediction flagger build I found on Youtube from 2007 to shut him up.
