Build: Conjuring Cripples

Nifty name, eh? Anyways, this is an AB build we ran for this week's GvG and it worked really well, so we might as well stea...borrow it from them for a bit longer. I'll upload templates once I get them all done.

Edit: condensed it to our normal format. Moo had the ele template already so I added his. I might fine tune it a bit, though I might just leave it as is.
Edit 2: added warrior templates. I might change the runes and attributes on the monks a bit, not sure the gank monk needs that much in healing - would rather have it in df. Also, Deny Hex or Smite Hex are better options for hex removal, unless you want to maintain Veil.
Edit 3: added the templates.

Oh, and in a unanimous decision by the RB members who were still there afterwards (aka me and Fox), we decided that Hawkmoon should do the writeup for this week's GvG matches.

You are a Mean Thing. But I'll try - you fellows may have to correct/amplify, however - I still have a lamentable tendency to focus too much on the party's health bars.
I'll try to get to it later today.

As Wyrm mentioned the build works rather nicely as-is, but I have two fine tuning suggestions

On an MoR bar, Power Drain and possibly Drain Enchantment are better e-management than GoLE. (also replacing E-burn depending on whether you can really use everything on your bar close to recharge or not as-is) This should let you spam more diversion then.

Glyph of Sac is typically brought along with meteor shower *and* res chant, because you have two skills worth using it on. Here I'd rather have GoLE and Deep Freeze's enormous AoE over sac/ice spikes. Or if you like a fast res, replace ice spikes with gale and armor of mist with storm djinn, and put res chant on the memser.

I don't think it's a good idea to give the mes Drain Enchant or Power Drain since they would then need to take points out of fast casting in order to have a decent inspiration. Having only 1 skill take benefit from Glyph of Sac isn't really that big of a loss, and not one that I would worry myself over. The changes you're proposing are taking way too much damage out of the build and not providing enough utility to balance it out.

Taking E Burn off the mes would completely negate it from doing any damage other than wanding, which is a bad idea. If the mes runs out of energy and GoLE isn't available, or if it exhausts too far down, then it can take a turn and run a flag in, coming back with a full energy bar or close to it, depending on exhaustion.

On the ele, Icy Shackles and Ice Spikes provide a good amount of slow and should be able to overlap to a certain extent with Freezing Gust filling in where needed and providing spammable damage.
