Best builds for farming glad points?
Ok, I really want to get my Gladiator title.
Just wondering what builds some of you have used to 'farm' for glad points.
I realize monk is popular, but it seems when I play one, more often than not I end up on a team with at least one other monk.
If it's gonna be a monk, what specific builds have you used? It seems that a bonder is popular. Although I've had varying degress of success with that.
It doesn't have to be anything unique, just whatever build you've been most successful with in RA.

Re: Best builds for farming glad points?
I've never gotten a Gladiator Point. My teams always seem to think "Oh, we got 8 wins, time to suck!"
But we've always done best when I was playing a Monk. I usually went with Long Haul Prot, or Heal/Smite. I used to face a lot of Assassins so Shield of Judgement was a must for me along with Symbol of Wrath and Kirin's Wrath which would just chew them up. And with the knockdowns from Shield, I wasn't taking that much damage. At least, not more than I could Touch/Breeze away.
The problem I had with teams in RA and my long haul Prot was, part of what the character wanted to do was lock someone out of the fight with Pacifism. Everytime I would call out "I'm using Pacifism on..." the morons would actually switch to that target and attack it.
...
...
-_-
So, anyway, I'd say the "Best" way to farm Gladiator points would be, to, you know, do it in Team Arenas.  Less likely to get a bad team, either through class screwyness or morons. (Last RA run I was in I ended up in a team with 3 ZB monks...)

Re: Best builds for farming glad points?
Take Keiths ZB build and play around with it. Try Sin as secondary with it some as well. I liked running ZB with Viper's Defense.
I played both of these quite a bit:

Re: Best builds for farming glad points?
ooh, I like the looks of that first one with the vipers defense and shroud of distress.
I really should start taking a closer look at some of the sin skills.
Don't know why, but I really haven't paid much attention to the sin or derv skills.
So do you normally use a sup rune when monking in RA, or all minors?

Re: Best builds for farming glad points?
Minors. Oh and Green I think has the most glad points with a modified version of the GVG Rit and/or Air Pressure builds. But All of my 5 points have come from the ZB build I use for GVG with a rez sig because I get tired of people complaining when you dont bring them and Dark Escape / Vipers Defense.

Re: Best builds for farming glad points?
Depends. Major (You read that right) if I'm going Prot. Minors if I'm doing my Heal/Smite thing.
Consider Major Runes more often. +2 for -35 is generally a better trade in my estimation than +3 for -75. HUGE difference.

Re: Best builds for farming glad points?
Green, are you using the GvG air pressure build or have you modified it?
