Here are some of my personal builds that I don't think are worthy of PvX official Postings, or may be already posted, in which these would be my own spins on them.

= Glass Arrow Semi-Spike =

[build prof=R/? name="Glass Arrow Semi-Spike" bea=11 exp=10+1+3 mar=10+3]["I Am The Strongest!"][Glass Arrows][Dual Shot][Triple Shot (Kurzick)][Determined Shot][Sloth Hunter's Shot][Predatory Bond][Comfort Animal][/build]

Uses glass arrows, plus IaTS to inflict damage over 40-ish per shot from dual and triple shot. Equip with Sup Vigor, and of Vitae runes and full Beastmaster's insignias. I use Predatory Bond to control some of damage I take.


 * UPDATE: I have been experimenting with Asuran Scan, Forked Arrow and Edge of Extinction instead of Preditory Bond, Sloth Hunter's Shot and Determined Shot, and I've been getting e-managment issues at some points. Any suggestions anyone?
 * Zealous bow with double/tripple/forked might do the trick.

= General Assassin Spike =

[build prof=A/? dag=12+3 cri=12+1+3][Way of the Assassin][Critical Eye][Critical Defenses][Asuran Scan][Golden Lotus Strike][Wild Strike][Death Blossom][Optional][/build]

Emphasizes the "glass cannon" aspect of the Assassin. Tested on Master of damage, pumped out about a 100 DPS rating. Before combat, precast 1,2,3. Build up energy then spam attack chain. Works with just about any daggers, though zealous or vampiric are the ones I prefer. The optional is for utility skills (Pain Inverter, Feel no pain, Assassin's remedy ect.)

= AoE E-Spike =

[build prof=Me/? fas=12 dom=9 ins=9][Empathy][Guilt][Shame][Mind Wrack][Energy Burn][Chaos Storm][Aneurysm][Lyssa's Aura][/build]

Basic idea is to use as much E-denial as you can to deplete the energy of one enemy in a mob, then hit them with Aneurysm and spike a mob's energy down to zero. Simply spam all spells until you feel it's good, then hit them with Aneurysm.

= Multipurpose PvE/PvP E-spike =

[build prof=Me/? fas=11+2 dom=11+3 ins=8][Ether Signet][Diversion][Guilt][Mind Wrack][Energy Burn][Energy Surge][Energy Tap][Aneurysm][/build]

Works nicely in both PvE and PvP. Find a poor caster, cast diversion to force them to stop (in PvP), then hit them with as much e-denial as you can. If going against an Ele in AB, try to catch them off guard. Let them cast some of their spells, drain a bit of their energy, wait to see if they change their weapon set for hiding energy, then resume draining, then hit them with aneurysm.

= D/any General PvE Derv - Sage's spin =

[build prof=D/? scy=12+3+1 win=5 mys=11+1][Optional][Eremite's Attack][Lyssa's Assault][Zealous Sweep][Asuran Scan][Aura of Holy Might (Kurzick)][Heart of Fury][Attacker's Insight][/build]

My spin on the General PvE Dervish. Optional is for either Reaper's Sweep or Wounding Strike. Pair it up with a scythe of your choice. Build is self explanatory. Use Attacker's Insight plus Lyssa's and Zealous to manage energy.
