Guild Wars Build of the Week: Judging With Ray

It's time for Build of the Week ! And this week we got a build given to me by Ray Will Doo, so thanks are in order here. This week it's a monk/mesmer build using one of the monk favorites, Ray of Judgement. Because it's Ray's build, I'm giving it an appropriate name:

Judging With Ray

Skills from 1-8

• Judge's Intervention
• Ray of Judgement
• Seed of Life
• Arcane Echo
• Pain Inverter
• Rebirth
• Smite Condition
• Smite Hex 

Attributes: Divine Favor 12, Smiting Prayers 12 & Protection Prayers 3

Template code: OwUT443AZytynJHcJQuUmg6zlAA

 So this build is a bit of a "jack of all trades" build. Main damage comes from Ray of Judgement, and Smite Contition and Smite Hex also deal damage, while serving as condition/hex removal primarely. Judge's Intervention is saveguard should someone almost die (and punishing those who try in the process). Seed of Life does the healing part, and Rebirth the ressurecting part. Pain Inverter is a great counter for big damage, I can easily recommend it in many builds.
And finally, Arcane Echo. In this build, it's not used to copy a certain skill for max effectiveness, but rather as a "copy what you need extra now" skill. And it works great because the build has al kind of goodies to copy. In my opinion, this is the more interessting way to use the skill.

So go and try this all around support build out, it's a great build where you get to react to the battlefield, and not just go down the skillbar in a certain order. If anyone improves this build or has a good idea, let me know in the comment section.

Until next time!
