This build is best suited to the 4v4 arena, and I've had great success with it in random 4v4s... I've had no opportunity to use it with more than just one other similar build, but 2 of these can drop any target before healers have time to respond (~3 seconds). I first came up with the build during the early beta weekends, but only recently started using it again after a long absence from GuildWars. I was surprised to see Aura of the Lich get such a huge boost (healing is no longer halved). As I've seen Dark Aura popping up all over the place lately, I thought I'd make my version public. This build eats frenzy warriors for breakfast, provided you're not heavily interrupted or knocked down... Nothing like seeing 200 damage in a single hit.
