Pick 2 skills from the middle pile depending from what your team wants ^^

Starburst spikes tend to target monks first, so a good pre-prot spirit or spirit bond negates their first attack, to give you time to run away and get healed.

Just maintain good spacing like a hlaf aggro bubble and you should be fine against them, they do drop fast to ranger thumpers and w/e's.

A 2 Starburst Spike can be quit fast when teamed with 2 bunny thumpers and 1 smiter 1 healer.

Enjoy going out and getting some fame.

i was playing a dual smite at that moment and i expected them to tele and aoe dmg my team so i walked around them but 2 people got killed and from then we got owned by them (they were using 4 e/a and 2 henchies).so i ws wondering how hey killed us so well while we had good organised team

[Apok Omni]

Well, currently my guild/alliance is using a Ranger-spike in HA and whenever we faced Star-spike, we own them. Not trying to sound mean, its just their spike is not well-coordinated enough, since all they do is do AoE damage at will.

[Almas Darksoul]

Starburst "spike" is as much of a spike as dervish "spike" was. It's a high-damage build with relatively small survivability. Good for beating inexperienced teams and thus fame farming, but you'll eventually fail once you meet competent enemies.

I did well with 4-5 SB and 1-2 monks. And yes, Rangers are a big weakness thanks to their high elemental def. Warriors crumble, though.

[fallot]

Warriors have only 4 less AL vs. elemental than Rangers (with a shield). Why would they "crumble" ?

[MaximumSquid]

Didn't they recently make it so shields didn't add to elemental defense?

[davepesc]

Shields add Al, not just physical resistance. The change had to do with the damage reduction mods.

Good point about the AL. W=96(with shield) while Ranger = 100. I must have been thinking about the hammer warriors :) All I know is it sure felt like Warriors took a lot of damage while Rangers did not.

Warrior 116 With Shield & Armor of 13 Str Req.

[Psorian Strider]

Starbursters own in 6 vs 6 i mean experienced groups get them but from my experience.. they have a hard time doing it.

4 E/A's
1 Blessed
1 WOH

Im sure if you could maybe change the build up a little, or get really organized you could maybe hold halls...maybe its just me idk.

most starburts are e/a with death charge and caltrops

Depends if you spike or pressure, bed of coals/lava font is also exceptionally useful on alter maps...

My skill choices were also partly based on what i ran in the 6 man weekend a month or so ago, so they may be more relevant now as well

[melandrus elite]

well heres my skill set
1 fire attunement
2 star burst
3 inferno
4 flame burst
5 lava font
6 deaths charge
7 caltrops
8 res signet
peace out
