Bonk - a tale of damage

rescorlian · December 2015

Hello, don't post very often. I was asked about my build, in guild, often enough that I was inspired, inspired to make something silly. That and adding other minds to a build may result in even more majesty and greatness xD

So I made a video, was told it wasn't overly bad, and decided to share! For those wondering, yes, saying it's the tank and healers fault was HEAVY sarcasm. If you run in suicidally and die, not the support classes fault. That's yours. Tank goes in first, we should all know better.

Love - Bonk

P.S you will notice that there is a replica of this in Lias thread, I both felt it belonged there and didn't. So I made my own thread as well ^^

An updated look at the build of Bonk. If you're looking to hit crits in the 10+mil area, this is the build for you! Added a little bit more... atmosphere for a sensual and smooth experience with your hero, Bonk!

Any thoughts, questions, suggestion, all are welcome ^^

Bonk! You didn't note what enchants you use, I don't believe. Damage. It's a good thing.

Do you use this strictly in pve, or pvp as well?

The enchants in offensive are 2 radiant rank 11, 2 azure rank 11, and the rest are brutals. All azure in defensive. I only play PvE, I have another GWF I used to use for PvP, however I have found the PvP community to be less than desirable for the most part.

Lol. So basically buy a lot of really expensive HAMSTER, and kick HAMSTER. Gotcha.

Could look at it that way, if you look at it that way almost every build boils down to that. I think it ignores much of the point, I'm sure you've run into wallet warriors the same as I have that have all the gear, and yet fail to produce skilful result. Thus why I added in the extra about thinking about how you run your encounters and which to use. You could copy and paste this build and not get the kind of results I get. Same to be true of Icydrake or Lancers PvP builds, or Lia Knoweles PvE build. A couple of names jump immediately to mind that bought BiS GWF and do terribly at it. Then there are some that have FAR less gear and can do almost the same kind of performance. A guildie FLOW jumps to mind, he regularly out performs superiorly geared GWF as his skill and understanding out do his fellow class-men.

Bonk was born VERY shortly after beta was released, started off as a half-orc (Bonk was actually my D&D table top character wielding a double Orc axe) was changed because I love all things dragon (thus why I HAD TO HAVE the Imperial rage drake mount when it was released) Half-orc as a race is top DPS for GWF. So adding in personal flavour is always a must, thus why we can transmute.

If you want to simplify, I would do it like this instead. Pay attention to your build, try out different things and if you use a build off of the forums, be prepared to make changes that work to your strengths and weaknesses. The vast majority of what I use, I ground, not buy. (marked exceptions being my Bear and Heavy Worg mounts and VIP) and I don't appreciate the underlying insult, put down, that comes with your comment.

Sorry, was a bit derrogatory I suppose, it was just a knee-jerk reaction to the video, presumably your last of a more in-depth series.

I dunno. I main an HR, pvp initially, more pve now. I've found, particularly now, since I sold some of my alts gear and bought some serious bonding runes, that nothing in nwo, not build (unless you really have no clue), not skill (because lets face it, a rotation is not the rocket science it used to be in the early days) beats the raw stats that tbh. you can only buy. You could argue that the SH boons are free, but they're not really - given contributions and/or initial joining fees.

Sometimes I think about posting my latest build in the hr forum, to help players new to the game, but then I realise that at some point I'd have to say, oh and by the way, it doesn't really work unless you've got x,y and rank12 z, a warlock and an armored axebeak. Or in the postscript say use this broken as hell rotation to achieve a gazzilion damage in this specific party set-up.

The days of builds are over I think, as evidenced by the drastic reduction in their number with each new mod.

Thanks bonk! Love the build. Like maining wms felt klunky at first. Than as things build up all the sudden huge crits start occurring.
