various builds for Ra and AB

Hi there!
It has been a while since I posted my last guide, so here is a new one. with 3 of my most used builds in Random Arena's (RA)

The builds:
1) Warrior/Ranger
2) Assassin/Ranger
3) Elementalist/"Any"

The builds are the results of some messing with skill combo's, and result in high effect from an unsuspecting angle. so basically you surprise your enemy. wich will confuse him and will make it even more effective because he/she doesn't know what to do ;)

The first build:

Warrior/Ranger.

Skills and Armor:

Optionals:
-Shield inbion is optional
-Sundering mod of the sword is optional, +armor mod works well too.
-Troll's Unguent for Iway in AB (less casting time and always corpses around)
-Sprint in AB, change for res signet in RA
-Insignias's, recommend Survivor but can be changed.

Usage
Ok this build works pretty easy, and is very effective. I have been using it for a while and u can take lots of damage. You have 80+16(shield) armor, and 80+16+20 vs physical dmg. you receive lots less than the normal output.
Add Dolyak Signet and reduce even more, and protect from Knockdown.
Conditions do damage over time, and have nothing to do with armor rating. so they are pretty effective. To counter that use Melandru's Resilience. When needed also cast Troll Unguent. If it is interrupted or you really need a health boost, cast"I Will Survive".

Your Damage output comes from Sever Artery, Gash and Apply Poison. You will just keep smashing your target but the -7 degen and -20% health will give a good effect too.

Pros:
-High defense (armor)
-Huge regen, almost every time +10.
-Condition spreading with poison bleed and deep wound.
-Small casting times, except for troll¡¯s unguent while tanking.
-Can keep a group of enemies busy for a while. Which prevents them for capping shrines (AB)

Cons:
-Blinded shuts you down, for tanking it aint a problem but there is no damage output.
-AoE (area of effect) spells, because of the slowdown from dolyak signet u can¡¯t run away from them. Although u can by far survive savannah¡¯s heat without taking major damage.
- Fighting without any conditions/hexes applied on you,
- stance removal guild war gold

Assassin/Ranger.

Skills and Armor:

Optionals:
-Bow type/ hornbow/shortbow/longbow/flatbow (recommend long and short to swap)
-Insignia's, the Radiant insignias are my advice but can be changed.

Usage
The build is pretty easy, Keep up Shroud of Distress, Way of Perfection, Critical Eye, Disrupting Accuracy and Way of the Assassin as long as you can, and recast as fast as u can. from then on, just keep shooting on your target. if u can get close safely take the shortbow to get a faster attack speed. Also, spam Keen Arrow for more damage output.

This build is made from my idea to interrupt as much as possible. with this build you get around 80% of your shots as an interrupt. And because of the target doesn't get hit by a skill, he doesn't know why he is interrupted. wich works in your advantage. also, the critical hits are your dmg output, healing and energy management. to see the damage u inflict, see below. guild war gold

Pros:
- High interrupt rate.
- Good Healing and defense
- Good energy management
- Good damage from critical hits

Cons:
- Blinded.
- Enchant rippers.
- Stance removal.

Elementalist/\"Any\".

Skills and Armor:

Optionals:
-Meteor can be changed for firestorm. Meteor works better in RA, and Firestrom in AB.
-Res sig in RA, Flame Djins haste in AB.
for the rest I advice not to change anything. stick with the given build.

Usage
Pretty simple again,
Cast Fire Attunement and start moving.
When approaching a target, cast Mark of Rodgort and start spamming attack skills.
use the combo's: Savannah heat + Meteor and Mark of Rodgort / Immolate + Glowing Gaze (Glowing Gaze will also Provide +10 energy when using it on a non-burning foe which is hexed with Mark of Rodgort)

the energy management is good, and you will be able to take out almost every foe in RA, even monks will do if u get the halve casting time effect from your weapon on Meteor after u casted Savannah Heat

Pros:
- Energy management.
- Strong spiking.
- Can cast (almost) non stop.
- Pressure.
- Burning.
- Can solo cap in AB guild war

Cons
- Interrupting
- Dazed
- Backfire(Mesmer hex)
- Low defense, can¡¯t fight alone

I would like to end here, Please post any feedback, but explain why you think that. so i can do something with it.
Thanks and enjoy these builds!
