I've seen quite a lot of Chosen doing that, using for example the defensive sovereign set and/or Tyrant combined with crit and a great weapons for crip strikes delivery wrapped in an almighty box of uber armour.Bootaehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12857676039536372689noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7279669963757550971.post-86045680074793794322010-10-18T05:03:12.309+01:002010-10-18T05:03:12.309+01:00You mofo, you're my hero for my chosen.You mofo, you're my hero for my chosen.Jellohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12835531373948612916noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7279669963757550971.post-4965906358140731812010-10-17T18:37:30.469+01:002010-10-17T18:37:30.469+01:00In my guild it's quite popular to run the cook...In my guild it's quite popular to run the cookie cutter build, while stacking melee crit and defensive stats (not strength), to be basically a non-squishy AoE CS applicator. Absorb procs from vessel weapons are useful.<br /><br />Also, the other selling point of the anti-magic spec is the increased resist buff/debuff, though less so since 1.3.6 :(.<br /><br />AcheraleAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7279669963757550971.post-73973187217679388672010-10-17T18:26:53.165+01:002010-10-17T18:26:53.165+01:00Acherale - Yeah it's one of those specs that&#...Acherale - Yeah it's one of those specs that's not seen that often, but is certainly worth trying out. On occassion I've also run that with Downfall from corruption instead of the Dread stuff and <br /><br />Jayedub - Yeah strength is always your primary stat, without it you just won't hit hard enough and will end up frustrated. Most important primary stats are Strength, Wounds, Toughness and Iniative, probably in that order. From the secondary stats it depends what you're doing really, but Crit, Armour, block (depending on spec) and parry, are all important.<br /><br />Rotations... This is very situational indeed and the famous "spamming ravage is all you need" is not really true. I don't have a completely set rotation, it depends what I'm hitting, but there are some things I will always use.<br /><br />Taunt - remember it interrupts<br />Blastwave - AoE wounds debuff, use it early for best results.<br />Suppression - Damage is ok and it increases your parry.<br />Ravage - for obvious reasons<br />Seeping Wound & Touch of Palsy - Because DoTs & barbs are nice to have on anyone that runs.<br />Sever Blessing - ALWAYS use this whenever it is available.<br /><br />There's loads of other abilities I use regularly tbh. I've got 5 action bars set up, 3 of which are basic abilities and auras.<br /><br />Which Auras to use is incredibly variable, but for general solo roaming: Strength, Resists and Toughness. Swapping out Toughness for Damage, Heal Debuff or Action Points as required.Bootaehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12857676039536372689noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7279669963757550971.post-17642573370529941522010-10-17T11:56:56.049+01:002010-10-17T11:56:56.049+01:00Nice guide, glad you included the anti-magic build...Nice guide, glad you included the anti-magic build, I think it's a little rare...<br /><br />AcheraleAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7279669963757550971.post-46091406201871717442010-10-16T19:40:01.033+01:002010-10-16T19:40:01.033+01:00I should have also asked about what stats to stack...I should have also asked about what stats to stack.

My question then is rotation, what do you use?Jayedubhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07437007861375094683noreply@blogger.com
