[dacookiemasta]

man this build would of rocked but they nerfed it hard so it could never survive ;(

[bagettin]

what is name on song?

[omnidragon42]

@bagettin I dunno, something I found on audioswap a long time ago.

[ShadowL0ki]

@bagettin wave of sound. :)

[bagettin]

@ShadowL0ki thx so fukin much :))

[pyrofeaks]

omg

[xXPOLXx1]

nerfed



[fonstw]

Too bad it was nerved in 9 hours, fastest nerve in World Records Book of Guild Wars BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAaa..!

But it was the most awesome build!

Didn't wanted them as foes when it worked!!

[ExplosiveWaffle03]

WHAT IS YOUR BUILD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[ShadowL0ki]

This video and the song is pure Nostlagia!

[omnidragon42]

@ShadowL0ki Video yes, the song kinda sucks though. The original audio was much better.

[ifuckandhatenaruto]

can you ping your build please ?

[omnidragon42]

@ifuckandhatenaruto It doesn't work anymore, why would you want the skills? Several of them have probably changed, this was over 2 years ago.

[ifuckandhatenaruto]

@omnidragon42 :((

[Ostelesia]

@ifuckandhatenaruto

PvX Wikia "Build:N/A Cultist's Fervor Doomspike."

There, go bother the PvXers. That should be a barrel of laughs.

[omnidragon42]

@Ostelesia That's kinda cool that there's a page made for this build. I'll include your info in the description.

[Ostelesia]

@omnidragon42 It's under Archive now, so you'd have to dig, but yes, it was a hilariously effective build, so the PvXers Archived it.

[donkeyhacks]

@ifuckandhatenaruto

PING IT? xDDDDD

we arent ingame GL idiot.

[djxdj69]

i won vs this build !.. i was with Thumpway.. easy to pown them! ^^

[omnidragon42]

@djxdj69 Suuuure ya did.

[megamixa]

lol... 800 damage in like 2 seconds no wonder it was nerfed the same day just like SoS spirit factories xD people abused it and had like 30 spirits just chillin there.

[JusticeRetroHunter]

wow wtf.

isnt there still a working contagion way ? just not as much damage.

[omnidragon42]

@JusticeRetroHunter Wouldn't know, don't play GW anymore.

[FluggleBubble]

love how u had all the way from bambi to r9+ in ur team ^ ^

[omnidragon42]

@FluggleBubble Damn right, non-ranked pugs ftw!

[1337born]

voll die noobs ^^

[Diatomus]

gg my ass, ffs

[JackSebat]

hm why its nerfed?^^

[omnidragon42]

@JackSebat Because it was ridiculously OP? I think it should be rather obvious, people shouldn't be doing 800 DPS in a game where people's HP pools go up to like 600.

[youngguitarfreak94]

this shit is nerfed. i tried everything, but i dont get ot 1hp.

[omnidragon42]

You obviously didn't try reading the video description.

[KoftBalsam]

@omnidragon42 It has been nerfed.

[omnidragon42]

No shit, really? Read the video description.

[KoftBalsam]

You dont have to get rude.

[Viikktor]

@KoftBalsam You were the dude that made him ''rude'' couse you cant read

[KoftBalsam]

Yeah obviously i cant read. Fuckin retard.

[omnidragon42]

Yes, you are. Thanks for playing, you lose at the internet.

[apiska]

well all i can say is well done =D

[maskanio1]

this is called contagion and its still overly ran

[omnidragon42]

Given that this build doesn't use contagion, and no build nowadays can put out this kind of dps, I doubt it.

[zitzla]

@maskanio1 this is no contagion, dumbass

[heffychokotto]

@maskanio1 this is an old build.... not contagion. it was the original necro bomber builds that ppl used in PvP that destroyed a lot of other teams really easily if ran good

[Bloedgrap]

Ah good old doomspike, nerfed the day it was invented, good days good days ^^

[GraspOfChaos]

i remember this lol i did in HoH too only i did with frigid armor and burning speed then when somebody killed me they'ld have like an eyelash left on health and suffering from poison and burn lol i owned... urs is alot better though u did alot more dmg faster than me even if death nova had 2 seconds cast time lol

[sumrandomaccount420]

Pugs usually pump dmg, i mean this game is so shit now, you can pug r0's and win r12 teams in UW... so fail

[stevenaa142]

COMPLETE OWNAGE very nice man that was awesome

[lSeKToRl]

I remember facing and doing this shit lol funny as hell

[ALEXIS25777]

OMFG lol that was complete ownage

[mrmusicmaker100]

tbh the build isn't nerfed you just dont use shadow walk

[BlackNinja6656]

Err...no. The functionality of Cultists Fervor has been completely changed. And the build worked like this: CF caused all spells to sac health and dark aura dealt damage to all foes around you when you sac health. While under Shadow Walk you cannot cast enchants so the second you cast an enchant it would cancel. This was the bug they fixed that ruined the build. Now you simply cannot cast them at all. Death Nova and Poisoned Heart are used because they have no recharge time.

[MarkusCiupi]

lool the problem was the Mark of Protection newbs ..

[omnidragon42]

You're an idiot.

[MarkusCiupi]

i bet you took credits over that video and you have no ideea what is happening there .. as you can see the necro is spiking only when he has mark of prot on him cuz that skill wouldnt let him die no matter how much hp he would sac .. it was BUGGED and thats the skill that got fixxed .. he also has Spell breaker so mark of prot wouldnt get disench .. but im sure you nab knew that

[omnidragon42]

The bug was that Cultists Fervor was triggering Mark of Protection (and Healing Seed, for that matter), it was counting the last HP sac as damage instead of as a sacrifice.

I've been using the name Yaks in online games forever, I'm #7 in this group (Yaks on Fire), and I even have my Youtube channel threaded into the credits at the end. If you want to think I stole the video or something, keep being deluded.

[MarkusCiupi]

without mark of prot being bugged you'd be dead

[omnidragon42]

Cuz healing seed doesn't exist, rite?

[MarkusCiupi]

dude you have 1hp and -10 hp degen ?? why arent you dead ?? dumb shit and most of the time you dont have healing seed .. pls go back to PVE

[omnidragon42]

Watch the first 25 seconds, I do the thing there with just healing seed.

You're an idiot.

[TheLappen321]

fucking impressive video thanks =)

[ALEXIS25777]

Lol you just press skillz repetivly, looks likea hack.. ITS AWESOME.

[mvl9160260]

this is freakin awesome

[SnOoPiNaooo]

hmtn

[XxShAdEsxX69]

how was the build nerfed?

[Wakzi]

I'll guess that Death Nova sacced some % health, and had a under 1 sec activation time with no recharge.

Now it doens't sac, and has a 2 sec casting time.

[omnidragon42]

The thing was, you couldn't cast enchants under shadow step, but it actually let you cast and cancel them. They changed it so it just doesn't activate at all now

[Wakzi]

Oh okay..

And yeah.. I just forgot that the elite does sac whenever you cast a spell.. And dark aura deals dmg whenever you sac. My fault ;)

I forgot what the skills really do :P

[ALEXIS25777]

Looks like a hack seriously

[TheGuiny]

the builds nerfed

[Em0gg]

nice video

[Xaphan2000]

... i never won halls before but I'm r5 -_- can't seem to get to HoH unless i run my own builds =/

[vengefulbeauty]

The death of something so epic made me so sad. :(

[coren12345678910]

What is the first skill?

[omnidragon42]

It changes several times... which part of the video?

[Syntex91]

and btw great music <3<3<3 trance

[Syntex91]

lol nice build

[TilveranNavarre]

I would have loved to have been a fly on the wall at Anet when they discovered this was on the live servers :)

lol @ P.O.D. epic fail :) New tune is nice anyway, great vid :D

Hey if you still care they're bringing in "sealed deck" at some point, but otherwise they're still breaking the meta every update in new and exciting ways xD

[omnidragon42]

Sounds interesting, but I logged into GW the other night, it's just unplayable now that I've played WoW.

[SparkoDood]

every good build is nerfed now :/

[Jaggnathar]

i remember this well.

[vengefulbeauty]

Omg those poor people getting pwned. :(

[GunBlasts]

Howcome your life stays at 1hp?

[CharlieCharlton1989]

mark of protection was broken, negated the sac from the biuld, notice how they used mark of prot and SB on him alot of the time?

[orangepotatoesatnite]

Simon, that dark aura spike is just a N/A JQ bomber. anyway, omni, is there any way you could explain how this worked? i'm a bit confused ^.^

[omnidragon42]

I've explained it dozens of times. Read through the comments.

[CharlieCharlton1989]

Mark of protection negated the sac you made, so you could spam without dying

[LarppaFtw]

skills are changed :) but nice! you made this by yourselv? never seen this :o

[omnidragon42]

A friend of mine showed me the idea (it had been used on him in team arenas) I adapted it for HoH.

[MastingTimc]

Really not?

[MastingTimc]

I need the attributs!!ping here an build code pls!

What is the last skill ???

[omnidragon42]

Why do you want it? It doesn't work.

[MastingTimc]

buildcode pls

[omnidragon42]

Nerfed, gtfo

[simonsanta2]

there is some kind of new dark aoura spike ... thats contagion ... i guess it deals even more(!) damage, but it needs a lot of timing and teamplay

but it also shares conditions on a lot of enemys , means half the team has about 7-10 conditions including blindd dazed and cracked armor

[omnidragon42]

It's not possible to do more damage than this build did. With fast fingers or a macro, you could drop everyone around you in less than a quarter second. Show me a build that can do that now.

[ExpiredYogurt]

its a new Contagion spike in HA used only by mid-high tier players in HA. It's definitely not as good as this pre-nerf N/A, but it's pretty dangerous when used by the right people. It's pretty much two N/Mo on a team with Foul Feast and Draw Conditions stacked with Contagion+Dark Aura. The N/Mo trade conditions, and whenever they do, they deal damage and spread the condition to enemies.

[omnidragon42]

Sounds bad.

[ShadowL0ki]

I play contagion and conta doesnt do more dmg than this buddy^^

[Diatomus]

that's not only that.

just clicking on no_recharge_skill - is not right. there no ur skill or rly high team play.

they're still dark aura spikes, but they indeed demand high team play, nice sync and stuff...and here is only clicking on 1 skill (whichs effect is not even needed lol). no way to survive it to (almost).

that's just wrong, that's not what gw is about

[omnidragon42]

What? If you could retype that in English, I'd appreciate it.

[VeryBigLama]

thats why it was nerfed smarty

[Diatomus]

good thing it was fixed

this was rly buggy build

[omnidragon42]

Not really, there's only one bug here, and that's the health sac being treated as damage.

It was terribly imba, however, which is what I think you meant.

[kevlareater]

3:45... I loved watching that mushroom cloud of numbers. I've never seen numbers like that, and I used to nuke as an ele.

[Ikimono]

I loled so hard here 2:30

[black444rose]

if you had like a g9 or g15 keybord it was just eoppic. wit the maccro you could kill with pressing one tab ^^

i just remind the match in the hall of heroes with 3 of this builds and everybody was just trying to kill him self cause there was this well that could protect you because they lost their enches. it was so funny how 3 builds just tryed 2 kill themselv for the well cause then you had won cause they yould not kill your ghost.

think it was the funnyst day i ever played in ha...

[omnidragon42]

I did some DPS testing with macros, but didn't use them for the actual fights because using 3rd party programs can get you banned.

[xxKoKKaxx]

omg...

[bagettin]

is there any new spike build for necromancer? that u can use in HaH or something..

[omnidragon42]

I don't play guild wars anymore.

[punbaca]

why not ?:(

[omnidragon42]

Got bored with it.

[NaniWaSuruKa]

the only necro spike i can think of is lichspike

[ShadowL0ki]

It's called lichway buddy, not lichspike o.o

[sventato]

blood spike

[IlDionIl]

icy

[Neezma]

i really dont understand what you're doing here...

o_o

but it's epic

[JohnScarecrow]

() \/\/ |\| /-\ 6 3 !!!

[HatakuFT]

fuckin awesome

[Sensaja1337]

P.O.D. = pick of destiny = tenacious d? :D

[wazzaa4u]

nice haha

[Sensaja1337]

great job.

but its fixed ;(

[omnidragon42]

It was fixed before I uploaded the video ;)

[samstints]

i dont think this comes close to the signetof ghostly might rits in gvg speed nerf and ladder reset.

[omnidragon42]

Yea, that was epic while it lasted though.

[ted1415]

what happened with signet of ghostly might?

[omnidragon42]

You could use it on the enemy guild master npc, causing it to just die in like 10 seconds.

[samstints]

it used to "meant" to be only cast on allies, they do like +20something damage but they die after 10 seconds but the thing was, it was bugged and you could cast it on enemy guild lords. so basically it used to be...cast signet of ghostly might on enemy guild lord...wait 10 seconds VICTORY. couldnt be removed or protted against. LAME. they had to reset the ladder because of it.

[CASTLECLUB]

btw, which elte do you have? ^^

[omnidragon42]

Cultists Fervor

[Tommistommis123]

"you're enough stupid"

Keeps getting better.

I suggest you stop talking?

[EoHDanceGroup]

lol, shame of nerf it would pwn IWAY XD

[bigtymerxg4]

Camping the PnH also owns IWAY.

[crackkills2]

wow, i didnt even know about this, what were the skill descriptions back then before it was nerfed to make so much damage?

[magickage]

casting death nova would couse health sacrifice. Due to a bug however, you could still INITIATE enchantments while shadow walk was on you. thus causing death nova to sac your health everytime, wich triggered dark aura everytime. your damage was practically based on your amount of clicks per second.

[supermandaan]

omg thats sick xD gz with the fame :P

[deepvoiveohyaaaa]

wow i can see it now 4 of thees 4 monks to keep them alive and u got yourself a raping team

[omnidragon42]

You didn't need 4 of the necros lol, 2 was enough.

[pergamin7]

a kidd with 2 year can work this skills dont be stupid thats a good for farm on pve not pvp brainless players.

[pergamin7]

noob build for farmers thanks anet for cape tis nerd builds

[omnidragon42]

*consults retard dictionary*

*rereads statement*

*consults harder*

[Jontman42]

Holeee Jebus

[CSmania1991]

nerfed =(

[omnidragon42]

Obv!

[CSmania1991]

obv? x) my ENG is poor so if u dont speak normaly i cant understand :p

[omnidragon42]

Short for "Obviously"

[AartApple]

One of the best builds I have ever seen. Apart from Ele Ball and the golemway, it's fantastic. Ele Ball is generally looked down on, when run properly by a good leader (adam the hero) it can take halls for the whole holidays. It only sucks when its shrine capping.

[theguitarman07]

gimmick builds killed/are killing guild wars.

the end.

still funny tho lulz

[omnidragon42]

Lack of fun is killing guildwars.

[cybersmoke]

Totally agreed!

[moomincat]

Vampiric Spirit

Elite Enchantment Spell. Steal 5...41...50 Health from target foe. You have +5...9...10 Health regeneration (10 seconds).

[omnidragon42]

Why would you even post that here? GTFO

[baumblatt11]

i know it is nerfed -.-

still i wanna know what made u stay alive lol

at THAT time is was not nerfed

understood that? lol

[omnidragon42]

I said read the comments. I've answered this question before.

[V3L0TH]

if you didnt find out yet: its mark of protection. some kind of underused elite monk skill, which pretty much sucks in any other build, which turns all damage taken into heal for a few seconds (incuding dark aura dmg).

[baumblatt11]

i did =D

thx tho lol

[baumblatt11]

what makes/made him not to die?

[omnidragon42]

Read the comments and learn English kthx

[SerunaUchiha]

Awesome!! That was fast! XD Thex died sooner then I thought they would! Nice job, freaking awesome! Seru~

[ChaosChamp]

Although I see how overpowered it is, it's sad that Anet nerfed the one real use of Dark Aura.

Honestly, they need to switch Dark Bond and Dark Aura's Attributes already. There are in the wrong Skill set.

[RocDisjoint]

thats frkn amazing!

[ted1415]

Wow that is ownage, what was it that did all that dmg, dark aura, cultist fervor and mark, what was cultist fervor like befor it got nerfed?

[omnidragon42]

The shadow step skill that makes it so you can't cast enchantments used to just cancel them, instead of preventing them from being cast, so you could activate enchantments as fast as you can hit the button, cultists fervor took away the energy cost, replacing it with health sac, which was actually treated as damage for the last hit, dark aura made health sac deal AoE damage, and seed/Mark of Prot kept you alive.

[Dnr1gamer]

WTF THATS JUST PURE PURE! PWNAGE XD

[omnidragon42]

Thanks? Ease off the caffeine man.

[bulldozerboyle]

hey Terashi, Its Alex [mile] [RnR] [PuNK] etc.. how are you making out? do you still play GW?

[omnidragon42]

Hey man, I'm doing ok, don't play Guild Wars anymore, mostly playing L4D, waiting for Aion to come out >_>

You?

[bulldozerboyle]

I'm playing Warhammer Online, trying to get to level cap so i can pvp, i want to try to bring spike group tactics to warhammer. I showed this video to my guildy, i was telling him how you always thought outside the box when making builds haha

[omnidragon42]

Awesome, I heard war PVP was kinda bad, although I've not tried it myself.

You got MSN?

[Gimlutin]

Great spiking!!Awsome video btw whats ur build?

[omnidragon42]

Read comments, description, not look like an idiot, etc

[KindaMost]

I think bug of GW help you a lot. Let find another one lol

[omnidragon42]

I think English help you a lot. Try learning it.

[KindaMost]

If you can't understand what I was saying then you'r a retard.. Like my english now?

[omnidragon42]

Welcome to 3 months ago. I heard proper sentence structure makes for easily readable and understandable communications. Also, it's "you're".

[KindaMost]

damn lol.. anywait I just discover how to reply to people who reply to my comment.. that's why it got 3 mounths ago, also my first language english. Im already learning it.. sorry if I scare people with my spelling :/

[omnidragon42]

15 seconds proofreading your post can prevent you from looking like an idiot online.

[KindaMost]

who is enough stupid to go seek the last post I did.. "My first language isn't english"

so if I look like a idiot for you then im happy for you.. want a try to write in french without any bad spelling?
