Melandru's Arrows vs kindle arrows......help

[dont feel no pain]

Melandru's Arrows

these cause bleeeding which can be a nice advantage and can do up to 29+ dmg when enmey is enchanted but uses up the elite spot

kindle arrows

these do a extra +25 dmg without any requierments but do not cause bleeding and does not fill a elite spot

hmmmmmm i dont know what to choose........help?

use read the wind. kindle is countered easily with resistance, wards, something of that nature. the bug is also fixed and it no longer does damage if the arrow misses. you dont want to lose your elite for melandrus because you dont want the target to have enchants to begin with ^^

[Man With No Name]

You just have to think of all the Enchantment Spells across every class...

As for Monks you've got:

- Healing Spells like -- Healing Hands, Seed, Breeze
- Protection Spells like -- Life Bond + Barrier, Prot Spirit
- A few Smiting Spells like -- Balths Spirit, SoH

And most of the Divine Favor spells are Enchantments and a couple of spells in the General line are too

Also Elementalists are usually quite heavy on enchantment stacking -- Armor of Earth, Obsidian Flesh, Aura of Restoration, Attunements, Conjures

Then you have Necro's with their Blood and Death lines and Mesmers even have the odd Enchantment spell


Whenever I've brought Melandru's multiple people will use some kind of enchantment at some point in the match -- in which case Melandru's punches holes right through em and as a bonus can spread bleeding to a whole team

It's dirty cheap at 5e ( 2e with 13+ Expertise ) and you can maintain it indefinately

I think it's one of the better elites on the Ranger line

the problem isnt that a target you are switching to is going to have healing hands or seed on it. the problem is aegis and guardian, making your arrows miss and useless. that means no extra damage and no damage period. which was what i was trying to say.

if you got the space for melandru's arrow for elite... it is a no contest... melandru > kindle arrow.

anyone with an enchant drop like flies... even warriors... if you have the right build that is.

Dual shot with melandru followed by savage, power or blankshot can make the caster cry. With this preparation you can kick even warrior's asses since it is not absorbed by their huge AL.
