User:Haquillo/Team Builds/My Mercenary Take On It

The idea of this team is to not have to change any skills when switching between 6-men and 8-men area's (For 4-men area's see the corresponding Team Build on my User page). For 6-men area's just drop the Ineptitude or variable ESurge and the variable slot (SoS/ESurge Resto) and you're good to go. The second column option (where given) is for caster players. The third column option is to build a more defensive team similar to Paneptitude.

Equipment

 * If equipping like suggested, you should have 410 - 430hp, which is more than enough due to the ST-Ritualist's spirits protecting your party.
 * Armor:
 * 5x Tormentor's or Radiant Insignia
 * 1x Rune of Minor Vigor (+30hp) - if you have the cash go for +41 or +50hp
 * 1x Rune of Vitae
 * 1x Rune of Attunement
 * Weapons:
 * Rather unimportant due to the hero holding Protective Was Kaolai most of the time. However, I suggest:
 * A 40/20/20 Restoration Magic Staff. Droknar's Staff comes reasonably close.
