Build Description

This build contains one or more skills that have been changed because of skill updates. This may cause an increase or decrease in the build's performance, so check the skill descriptions carefully. If this is your build, editing it will remove this message.

Due to the enormous amount of armour that monsters have in HM, i thought this build would be quite useful. Utilizing Marksmans wager, to be able to spam all attacks, an incredibly useful interupt, and strength and honour's energy degen is easily countered.

Equipment Sundering Hornbow of Fortitude

Giving you a total of 20% armour penetration from Sundering (20% chance) 20% armour penetration from Judges Insight 10% Inherent from Hornbow 10% from either penetrating or sundering skills..

I'm not sure about how it stacks, but I'm sure thats ALOT of armour penetration lol

and adding strength and honours damage capabilities to it, to beef up damage

Concussion Shot for an AMAZING ele/mesmer/monk shutdown.

And Serpents Quickness to maintain Marksmens WAger, but must reuse marksmans IMMIDEATLY after recharge. for maintainablility. Mending Touch for ... well... mending :P

Flaw would be the lack of hex removal, and no blocks or IAS. BEWARE! Because of the skill-spam nature of this build, you are VERY VERY susceptible to owning yourself if someone casts a skill/attack related punshment spell, such as empathy, Spiteful Spirit, Visions of Regret etc.... so be attentive and pull back/ask for a hex removal from team, when you come under one.
