The real advantage of SS is that it damages enemies in a fairly large radius around the hexed foe but is not considered AoE by the AI, so enemies do not flee. With SS damaging your enemies and the 55 system keeping you alive about
Guild Wars Gold, you become very powerful. But, this build is not infallible as you will realize very quickly in your first Underworld runs.
As you can see the five basic 55 skills are there, along with SS. Guardian is used to avoid interrupts from enemies while casting SS about
Guild Wars Gold. Guardian provides a 40% block chance and can give you the extra time you need to avoid an interrupt. Although the 40% chance to avoid an attack based interrupt, Guardian also reduces your energy recovery while it is active. When you are fighting a single aatxe this can be a very big problem. Also, there are better skills to keep your health up about
Guild Wars Gold. Shadow of Fear is included in the list as a cover hex, but I will get into its use later.
I have substituted Vigorous Spirit for Guardian for several reasons. First off, VS does not cause any energy management problems. Guardian also does nothing for healing. The 40% dodge chance sure reduces the damage you are receiving which is great when you are taking a real beating and do not have any worries about your energy reserves about
Guild Wars Gold, but against a single aatxe Vigorous Spirit is far superior. It can keep your health up with no need for Healing Breeze about
Guild Wars Gold.
It will only cost you 5 energy every 30 seconds and does not reduce your energy intake. Now wait, I know what you are thinking. ¡°This guide is too long, I am going to find a shorter one.¡± What I really wish you are thinking is ¡°But how can I cast SS without being interrupted if I am not using Guardian?¡± Good question. With good timing and a little game I like to call ¡°use savage slash you bastard¡±, you can go through an entire run without being interrupted once.
