Melee/support concept

mafa1in

So, I got the idea to use arbiter mastery and gifts of the storm to do something fun. Would this be viable? Should I switch passive? I'm considering medical nanites or one of the auras instead of seraphim. Is ego weaponry + siphoning strikes good enough?

Edit: Had a line about devour essence, but that's no combo, so it won't work... -.-

Edit 2: Didn't realize Ego weaponry got changed to an AoE power. I should probably exchange frenzy for breach or annihilation.

The proc on Gifts takes 8 sec, which is pretty long. I'd prob pass on it, considering its 3 adv points.

The idea of a hybrid dps w/ some BG healing can work, though ofc don't expect to replace a normal Support unit. If you wanted to still use Arbiter Mastery then I may edit it like this:

You don't really need 3 AOs here, and EBA is a good idea since w/o it ur dps from the combo won't be that strong. I'd prob still get some cost discount on gear since you lack Int SS or Physical Peak. Mental Disc also allows you to use the dual blades aesthetic, if you want. You'd still gear mostly for Dex here.

Thanks for the feedback! I think I'll start playing the build the next time I get a free slot and see where it ends up. And yeah, 3 AOs is unneccessary, I think I was a bit tired when building yesterday. ^^ I'm guessing you kept frenzy in the build for its defensive potential instead of using something like masterful dodge, correct?

You can take an AD, but EBF is good cause its also a spammable pbAoE w/ a shield adv.
