| R/Rt Oath Spirit Spammer Guide (PvP) |
|
|
|
i found this build on wiki and thought it was pretty interesting. Think about this for a second, when using defencive spirits like "Displacement" or "Union" or even "Shelter" they die quickly from High dmg Thumpers or Dervs agaisnt Weak AL Mesmers and Sins, While any target would Die in 1 hit from a half decent spike. the fact is, theses spirits die so quicly from the heavy dmg output in PvP.
Thats where you come in. Using this build is Pretty simple Thought, but a pretty tough action. Pretty much, your laying down spirits as soon as they die making your team virtually invincible. But how do you have some many spirits down? Spirits are insanely expensive in energy and have ridiculous cooldown time compared to how fast they die
Thats where having a ranger primary comes in. You up your Experties wich cuts the cost down considarably. So what? you may think that this is a dumb idea, ok so you cut the energy cost down...thats not all taht matters? how do you keep spirits up? thats where oath shot comes in. WIth this amazing skill you can keep your spirits up and almost never have a gap.
I DO NOT recommend this guide to Beginners as its very hard to stay alive if you dont know when to cast spells or where to put spirits or how to avoid aggro Etc.
Ok lets get started
Skills and Atributes
*Note If you want to use a Superior Rune instead of a Major Rune you may, I just rather the extra Health
Equiptement
Really It doesnt matter but preferences Would be
Weapon:
Any +5 Energy Bow
Any Max +15 Eng Staff (optional)
Armor:
IF using a PvP char then the following
1 Rune of Clarity
1 Rune of Major/Superior Expertise
1 Rune of Minor/Major/Superior Vigor (Optional)
1 Rune of Attunement
1 Rune of Attunement
Insignias are as follows (from Head to Feet)
Radiant
Survivor
Survivor
Radiant
Radiant
*If using a PvE char then The Runes Above, and Full Druids armor for Maximum Energy
How To use The build
First and Foremost The MOST important thing of this build is Spirits. I am going to show you Where to Put spirits And good Ways to Avoid Aggro Or getting the SPirits Themselves Attacked
The Key
IN the Following Maps this is the Key to be used
W=Wall, Rock, Object Blocking View
E=Elevation
EN=Enemies
AL=Allies
SA=Spirit Area (The Place where a Spirit Should Be Placed)
The Initial Drop
The Best Way to Keep Spirits away from Enemies is to go to a Higher Elevated Place and Put the Spirits Behind a Wall or any Object that would Protect it from Ranged Fire. This also keeps the Opponents From seeing the Spirits (most of the time) and keeps Their focus on other targets
This is an example of a GREAT place for an Initial Drop or Any Drop. The SA is Completely Blocked by the Rock, Stoping Enemy Spirits From Attacking it, Enemy Rangers from Interupting you, or Enemies even Seeing it. it also has a good E to keep enemies from getting their anttention draw, and gives monks a way to Shadow Step out of Trouble
This is Another good Example of a Drop. You have the Large Stone in front of you for Maximum Ranged protection. You also have a Hip Sized Wall to your Right Wich gives Droptection when running left. There is Also a Drop next to you wich also Gives Protection and When moving to the left, hides you out of sight
This is a decent Drop place, But i wouldn't Use for Secondary drop. This place gives you a Large SA fro droping spirits and then allows you to run to the left to get out of the danger zone. This does give great protection from people coming out of the gate, but once the battle has started and enemies have rounded that corner, retreat to a differnt place to drop or just "Line Back" (Read On to Understand That)
This is a Good Secondary. Once you have run in, Drop your Spirits, Reacharged With Oath Shot, you would want to run back to a fallback point. This is an Excellent Point because your are Elevated for the monk Shadowout, and you also have a very wide View of the playing field, allowing you to rez (i once had to rez 12+ times on this map) and Pick of people with oath shot. Due to the fact that once the main battle has started, there usally isn't alot of Available Cover because you usally have Sins or War chasing you down. Using Fallback Points is an Important Strategic move, allowing you to pull your teamates out of hard situations, or not freak out when geting hammered by a thumper and know to take a right and avoid taking the left to the dead end
LINE BACKING
this is a VERY important part of Oath Spamming. Like in the Picture Above, alot of places are just Wide Open Spaces without Elevation, Rocks, Trees, or Any Protection. This is where line backing come in. When line backing Picture an Imaginary Line. Lay your First Spirit at the right or left of the line, then strafe once or twice to the opposite direction and lay next spirit Etc.
Line Backing is Tacticly Important Because:
Gives a Longer Spirit Range
Looks More Threatening (if You want to Be Threatening XD)
Avoids AoE dmg
Keeps Dervish "spread" attacks at bay
Body Blocks for Quick Escape (used that SO many times)
Try to Line back when you are in an Open Field or if its your Secondary drop or any other times you see fit, also, if you cna keep spirits on a Line, or bend them in a semi circle, you can actually bodoy block for youself (i dont recomend though as its time consuming)
This build was Found on Wiki, But all of the Pictuers and Writing are Personally Mine ( i spent about 4 hours making the guide)
Cred is Apreciated XD

I would recommend that you re-size the images to a smaller size, this is kinda hard to read with all images and some text squished between them

I think that above statement is pretty foolish. Like most things, in guild wars and real life, you can do it, and you can do it well. In case you didn't notice, this is a guide for how to do it well.

I really like your guide and you persuaded me to try it. I made a few alterations to the spirit choices but all in all its a solid build. Thanks for putting your time into making this :)

He doesnt have to. You can just test your luck and find it for yourself. Or make your own personal Toucher, BOA, Spirit Lord, and bonder well. All things considered, all you have to do is practise to get the feeling of a build.

Only if you tell me how to fly a plane, drive a car, shoot a gun & play chess well.
You can be shown as this guide does very nicely but you have to put some effort in yourself. Everyone has to start somewhere so ofc there will be beginners.

thank you EVERYONE for the comments
i put the statement about beginers because knwing When, Where, ad How to place spirits, and Casting Times, Energy Mangement, And Usage is Decently Difficult. If it isn't difficult for you then Gratz, cause your not a beginner
oh and TR pm me Ingame if you want the Template
IGN=Im Not Six Sided
Im also working on a TA team build, and i need the following:
Another Oath Ranger
A Monk
a Thumper or Shock War

Also I'm pretty sure it's not the easiest thing to do, as a lot of teams used to and still do rely on their spirit spammer.

Errg, didnt read the first sentance, let me rephrase this....
I personally wouldnt do this build because, eh, what can I say? I like sticking to sterotype of professions. I would recommend this to crazy/creative/out-of-it people though!
| QUOTE |
Ok then you tell me how to play a toucher, boa sin, spiritspammer, bonder well?
|
Well first with a toucher you spam your dodge/zojun's haste/storm chasers and constantly use your Vampirac Touch skills to steal health.
For a BoA sin (which was some-what nerfed) you use Shadow Prison, and blast into Burst of Aggresstion, then follow with your attacks
For a Spirit Spammer you use Boon of Creation, Ritual Lord, and spam away with your spirits
For a Bonder you use Life Bond on all your party members and spam Protective Spirit on you, and use Blessed Signet often.
oh, by the bym sarcasm doesnt work well on the internet :
| QUOTE |
Only if you tell me how to fly a plane, drive a car, shoot a gun & play chess well. |
To fly a plane, you press the pedals, check the air pressure, gauge, and steer
To drive a car you put the shift into drive (the D!), and you push the right pedal to accelerate, and the left to break. Theres also the weird triangle button to force stop
To shoot a gun you cock the barrel, aim, and fire (obviously?)
To play chess well, let me start with the pieces:
Statue thingy with cross on head? King
Statue thing with wide head? Queen
Castle thingy? Rook
the ten pieces in front of your normal stuff? Pawns
The horse thingys? Knights
the long skinny pieces? Bishop
Kings are your main thing, keep them alive
Queens are your "1337 G4NK3R" (If you know me i never say that :\), they can move diagnol, up, donw, and sideways
Rooks can move only up, down, and sideways
Pawns are the grunt of the game, who can only move foreward, unless taking another piece, which in that case it can only move diagnolly foreward
Knights can move three spaces foreward, and then can move one left or right, or can move three spaces sideways and move one space up or down, these are very useful.
Bishops only go diagonal, not that useful, might help though
So the point of chess is to read your opponents movements, see what theyre going to do so you can counter it, and use it against them. As a last hint, WATCH THE GAME CAREFULLY
I think I summorized everyones question in this post >.>
***THIS POST HAS BEEN EDITED***
We wonder, "Why?" when we lose friends, and there are never any good answers.

Again someone misses the point by trying to be clever.
You've just said what to do but not really how to do it. Without getting all snarled up in semantics let me try to explain.
I could tell you how to do algebra, bake a cake, write a journal, spell, build a house and by following my instructions you could do these things first time with a perfect outcome.
I could tell you how to drive a car, fly a plain, ride a horse, dive, play snooker or any number of things but that doesn't mean you could go out first time and do them, it may take several tries to get it right
It's almost impossible for someone to learn a tactile task by just being shown or told, they have to do and feel it for themselves and it's the same with new builds & tactics in GW.
Hope that makes sense to someone.

i keep Generous for personal healing
What i do is i put it up from the extra health total, use Flesh of my Fleash, then drop it
Using Whirling is a Personal choice but i prefer dodge because of half the cool down and the spped boost

And you missed my point...
You can fly a plane WELL, You can drive a car WELL, You can shoot a gun WELL, You can play Chess WELL but you cant play a bonder, toucher, boa sin, spiritspammer well. You can only play it. You cant be "good" at touching or spiritspamming for example..

A lot of teams are using Burst Sins and Searing Flame eles too... Neither take any particual skill, still people play them...
