Build talk:D/any Avatar Teardown Hero

Possibly split this
I merged the avatar and wounding strike build I prepared into this teardown build as the builds almost share the same attributes and 4-5 core skills. If you think that the wounding strike variant and the avatar variants are too differently to justify shared vets, feel free to split this into Build:D/A Wounding Strike Hero and Build:D/any Avatar Hero. But I guess it's ok to keep them together. --Krschkr (talk) 11:51, 6 May 2018 (UTC)
 * I'd lean towards splitting. As it is currently, this explains how to assemble two different builds which each have a different purpose. Toraen (talk) 12:04, 6 May 2018 (UTC)
 * On the other hand builds like Build:N/Rt Soul Reaping Healer Hero and Build:Me/any Psychic Instability Hero also feature fairly different builds with a resulting fairly different direction of impact. I see more common between the wounding strike and avatar dervish hero than between a domination magic command pi mesmer and an illusion magic curses pi mesmer – or a spiteful spirit damage/heal hybrid and a blood is power support healer. In the end, whether you decide to have frequent deep wounds or consistent high pressure, this dervish uses powerful teardown attack skills with mysticism flash enchantments, avoiding an attribute split. All those PI mesmers would have in common is PI with inspiration magic energy management. :s --Krschkr (talk) 12:45, 6 May 2018 (UTC)
 * I actually feel that the PI build should be split or merged into the general Dom and Illu hero pages, I just felt back then it was basically a non-starter argument (things have changed over time with how builds are presented). As for comparing this presentation with that of the SoLS healer, it's mostly a matter of the mainbar itself showing the primary purpose(s) of the build. On the N/Rt, I see a healer fueled by soul reaping, with all the skills to do its job. Resto elites aren't very strong, so they're not mainbarred and you take whatever secondary role fits your needs (or a resto elite if that's what you need). In contrast, the primary purpose isn't shown by the mainbar of this build, you have to decide what that primary purpose will be before filling it out. It's clearly the start of a typical dervish build but I have to pick whether I want the AoE pressure of an Avatar+Pious Assault or the spike of Wounding Strike, then fill in the other half of the bar based on that. There isn't any overlap between the optionals of the two variants. As presented, they have entirely separate skill lists to pick from. Toraen (talk) 09:02, 7 May 2018 (UTC)
 * Ok. --Krschkr (talk) 15:42, 10 May 2018 (UTC)
 * The build has been split; the only rating has been dealt with. --Krschkr (talk) 16:30, 10 May 2018 (UTC)
