    Default Zins "RAGEEEEEEEEEEstorm" two hand pvp build.

    http://rift.zam.com/en/stc.html?t=0c...zs.xhczqM.xf0q

    This is based around ragestorm and how much damage it can do.

    Macros

    #show searing strike
    cast frenzied strike
    cast inescapable fury
    cast frost strike
    cast airburst
    cast discharge
    cast thunder strike
    cast flamespear
    cast stonespear
    cast spark

    #show earth burst
    cast earth burst
    cast storm burst

    Against a single target I use fiery burst, against multi-targets I use earth/storm. Ragestorm is used after you use a burst.

    I'm still working on the macros trying to maximize the burst potential, but currently ragestorm will do more damage than either earth or storm burst so you are basically getting two finishers back to back.

    If anyone has any tips on to improve the burst, please share. I am loving this build and it is something different than your standard dual wield builds going around.

    That's pretty clever, I hadn't thought of using Ragestorm in a build like this. I have no advice, but kudo's... gonna try this out too.

    Should probably stick Ragestorm in your macro then

    Also does Airburst really do that much damage? Never thought about it in a PvP context except maybe with the Vindi taunt talent.

    I just threw it in there but haven't been parsing its damage since it is on a long cooldown.

    Btw, the reason ragestorm isn't in the macro is because it will not trigger a burst. So if I throw it in the macro the first ragestorm won't have the extra bonus damage added to it. So I do it manually and it works perfect and allows me to time the burst damage better.

    Also, discharge does a good amount of damage. I am still deciding if I want it in the macro though since it will take away from my ragestorm damage by consuming pacts.

    Not to mention the same burst rules apply to Discharge.

    For that matter .. they apply to all the abilities you listed (Frenzied and Inescapable aside).

    The neat thing with that build is you can use Ragestorm to build pacts and APs without anyone being nearby.

    interesting lets see some pvp vids id love to see it in action
    And the little Warrior said to the little Mage "One day I'm going to grow up to be a fierce dual wielding Paragon and people will run in fear because I'll be so Intimidating in Battle" The Mage looked at the little Warrior and said "Ya well, I'm going to be a Pyromancer" and that was that.

    Hmm interesting build, I'll give this a try once I get the p6 2hander. It looks good on paper, but a lot of specs look good and just don't do as well as you'd imagine in pvp.

    I play on a dated computer, so that isn't really an option without my performance taking a nose dive.

    This build is really for those that love to charge and unleash bloody heIl and it does it rather well. I've done a number of 2v1s with it fairly easy and a 3v1, but I do have top of the line gear. It is a fun build.

    Interesting, I did not know it built pacts. Thanks! It may be worth putting it in the macro.

    I don't have the most modern rig and fraps slows my computer to a crawl but the recorder built into rift doesn't affect me at all, have you tried that one?
