Hi guys, Ice was running in R.A. with the prebuilt R/P called the "Pack Hunter", and noticed that when I used tiger's fury, my spears hit at an amazingly fast rate. After a little bit of thinking, we(us in PuP) realised that if we combined an orders necro with 3 of these R/P's, we could hit an amazing amount of damage in a short amount of time.

We have been running this for about half an hour, and we have 65 medallions.

Here is whats done:
•We brought a 105 HP necro with orders, using prot spirit and healing breeze in the same way a monk solo farmer would to negate damage. This way she(she is a female player) could spam orders, and still be able to have enough health left not to worry about her own and heal us some. She also carries extinguish to remove conditions from far away.
•We brought 3 of the rangers, spamming "tiger's fury" with the spears to hit about 1 spear every .05 seconds. The added DPS from the pet attack "Ferocious Strike" can't hurt either. The best part: you can spam Paragon skills without hitting serious energy management problems that the Paragons have because of Expertise. The rangers bring +armor while in stance armor, the +45 health while in stance paragon shield, one vamp spear, and one sundering spear.

One person is designated as the target caller, calls a target, and the team goes after it with waves of spears.

"What about energy drainers on the other team?"
As long as you have 6 energy on the ranger, you will be okay because thats all you need for tiger's fury, which is the bulk of your damage output.

"What about guardian and things to block the attacks?"
The damage almost never stops so just switch targets. Aegis would be a bit harder but is rare in TA.

This build is tested by us, mostly flawless wins were acheived, and its late over here so we had to stop because we are tired!

[PuP] wanted to share this build with everyone, hope it gives you a good time!

If you want more info on this build, you can pm the first 4 people to run it:
The Ice Master, Becca Rose, Anima Evasen, and Lueur Inspiratrice.

Um, if they don't drop in 2-3 skills(that occur in less then a second) it isn't a spike. Otherwise this is the new Ranger DPS Machine.

its a faster spike than ranger spike cause of high crit rates often occur than a ranger spike with the pull back delay. Your hands are mighty and smooth like ur lips!!

A Korean guild just won HoH with several R/P premades, 1 orders necro i think, and the other was... monk IIRC. Not sure about that.

Expect a nerf after the beta event (now that they know about it)

How to nerf it, though? Tiger's Fury is a valid IAS. Only way I can think is to change it to be arrows only, and from what I've seen all projectiles are using the same code (drop conflagration and see minions shoot fire, as an example). So I think they've got their work cut out for them... you need a rapid attack speed to build up enough adrenaline for some of the shouts/calls... hm....

they could just lower the damage of the spears and let the majority of the damage come from skills with 13+ in the attribute line, so rangers can not fully benefit from the high attack speed.

the HAVE to rise the recast on the spear skills, the ones from the premade in particular (spear of lighning from 2 sec to 6 sec, wild throw: lose all adrenaline, like wild blow etc).

make spears fly even slower, bind the speed to the paragon main attribute.

and finally: MAKE ORDERS MEELE ONLY.

Noticed?... Right now, I'm seriously considering to throw away my bow and taking spears in its place.
