The Mo/any Elona's Bonder is a variant of the traditional bonder
build which utilizes only core and Nightfall skills. Unlike the
traditional bonder, the
Mo/any Elona's Bonder relies on the elite skill Scribe's
Insight in conjunction with Mantra of Inscriptions and Blessed Signet to
maintain energy rather than relying Balthazar's
Spirit or Essence Bond.
This build is mainly intended for people who only have
Nightfall.
Attributes and Skills
Equipment
- Ascetic's Armor (or comparable armor) is
recommended due to the need for a high energy pool.
- Any weapon combination that lowers casting and recharge times
of Protection Prayers will work well with
this build. A couple of suggestions are:
- Kepkhet's Refuge
- Jayne's
Staff
- Several Runes of Attunement are suggested due to the need for a
high energy pool.
Usage
- Try to maintain Life Bond on as many party members as possible.
Check allies frequently to see if anybody has had Life Bond
removed, and re-apply if necessary. When energy drain becomes too
burdensome, it may become necessary to remove bonds from party
members and re-apply later.
- Before battle, cast Mantra of Inscriptions and Scribe's
Insight. Try to maintain these skills at all times.
- Use Blessed Signet frequently, i.e. whenever it
has recharged to mitigate energy loss due to bonds.
- Use Reversal of Fortune and Shield of
Absorption on party members who are under attack to help
further mitigate damage.
- Use Dismiss Condition for Condition
Removal as well as a cheap heal.
- Use Signet of Devotion as a no-cost heal. Note
that Signet of Devotion will actually result in a net energy gain
of three due to Scribe's Insight.
Counters
- Energy Denial
- Massive Enchantment Removal
- Areas With High Amounts Of Elemental-Only Damage
Variants
The bonder can be a very personal build, with many, many
variations.
Notes
This build is not intended to replace other bonder builds,
merely to offer a Nightfall only option for players who do not have
all three campaigns.
