Have you ever posted your build online?

Tasear

Why or why not?

Feel free to link yours if you have. Here's mine http://tamrielfoundry.com/topic/dark-priestess-pug-proof/

kongkim

No

Way not.. i always try and make something out of the box. that still works.

But to much elites and whiners and max/min types on the forum to do that.

soll

Yes

posted on forum one, because it was very uniq build of pve tank-healer for runs with 3 dd. we did everything with this set up, even vDSA. It also allows easily to carry new weak players through vet hm dungeons without any discomfort, however, I posted it pretty late – like month before morrowind, and we wasn't sure, if sustain would be good in new patch (still didn't test it properly)

LadyNalcarya

No

No, I'm too lazy and my builds arent super unique anyway.
I try to help players who are looking for advices in guilds or zone chat, but that's about it.

Ostaradoe

No

I'm still feeling my way around my main, and although I really like how it is going I haven't tried it in arenas or PVP yet and tbh not sure I will. I think to post a build here you have to;

a/ be very sure of what you have achieved
b/ be open to suggestions from other players to change things

I am definitely b but definitely NOT a

CaptainBeerDude

Yes

Yep. Once. To help someone. Will be a bit pissed if it winds up getting turned into some BIS nerf magnet. But it's my build, so I doubt it will.

Asmael

Yes

The only "build" posted would be the video in the spoiler below, which I posted more for research on getting higher uptime on a very specific buff (Hawk Eye here), more so than the gear / CP distribution / w/e used.

For the rest, I tend to give only specific information related to a question instead of a full build. Gotta make derm people think a bit.

No

I'm the only one dumb enough to make it work .

Tasear

Yes

Now I am curious ... what did you do?

TheDoomsdayMonster

No

I will never post what I feel is my most effective build online...

Why? Because if your build is hyper-effective, the last thing you want is a bunch of copycats using it, and if an increasingly large number of peeps start running around in your build, you can bet money that sooner or later it will be nerfed...

Now, I will post some of my older or less effective builds online, but never anything that I feel gives me an excellent advantage...

Dracindo

No

It'll keep getting removed for repost, anyway.

One of the sets requires you to stand still while being snared and beaten on to regenerate health . It goes against every instinct to break free . Combined with a healing set it's pretty strong with good regen . I don't recommend it to most players because you will die a lot if you make a mistake . I still make a lot of mistakes with it .

Ilsabet

No

There's no reason for me to post what I use. It's nothing special and I wouldn't expect anyone to care or want to use it.

I guess you could take the approach of posting for feedback and improvements, but I don't care that much about that either and I don't need to waste other people's time.

Stuff gets dead and I stay alive (most of the time) so it works for me.

Pretty much this.
I play pretty casually and just try to have fun, so my build isn't gonna help anyone but me.
Also, it's not min/maxed so folks probably wouldn't even regard it as a "build."

Skayaq

Yes

Technically yes, I have all my builds listed on uesp's build editor.

lagrue

No

Nah I'd rather not be copied - and I'd also rather not receive a massive influx of comments telling me to l2p and use their meta builds. Sounds like somebody standing in the street with a sign that says "kick me in the b*lls." At the very least, you'll end up with the same outcome in both scenarios.

Lieblingsjunge

No

Nop. I just tell people what I run when they ask me.

Asardes

No

Nothing really special about any of them really.

Bowser

Yes

Kinda. I usually just throw my build name and sets out there to troll condescending elitists. I'm too lazy to do a full write-up or a video on it.

Waffennacht

Yes

I have (+20k views) mostly to show what is possible without having the bis gear.

Originally had posted it because many of the game mechanics were still unknown at the time i.e. pets being "allies"

Now, when I feel a build is, "done." I move on to something new and if I feel the build was good enough I'll post it.

Again my goal is to encourage out of the box thinking. @Lexxypwns gave me my proudest moment being inspired to come up with great ideas

Inarre

Yes

I have, but only because i think my build was so non-meta when i made it that people were more like "wtf" than "ooh i wanna copy that!"

emilyhyoyeon

No

no because my build is taken from online LOL (with some changes)

Glamdring

A little bit of topic but for you that makes builds from scratch what questions are you asking yourself? I would like to make a build from scratch aswell, my own one. So far my build is just variations of others that i tweak and adjust to fit me.

I smell Magplar...

ArchMikem

No

Only on the forums here. A few topics where I asked people how I could improve my older characters, and then one time when I shared my "For Fun" Sword & Shield StamKnight DPS.

Lexxypwns

No

I've helped theorycraft builds that people have posted and helped create meta setups for some classes. I only run min/max builds or builds catered entirely to my playstyle. In the case of the former, no need to post because its just math. In the case of the later, it's a setup that won't likely help others so I don't bother.

Best build I ever worked on was @waffenacht magplar build. It's absolutely ridiculous and flys in the face of making us choose between damage and sustain. Ironically, the main mechanic he's using for sustain has also become part of the pve tank meta and is being widely used by Pvp guilds

Ep1kMalware

No

I don't believe in copy/pasta builds, but they are a good starting point. I'll help people with theirs the best I know how, but if I didn't do things my own way my favorite toon would be weak as hell.

My favorite class is always getting nerfed, and sofar I've sjrvived it all. I don't want my builds to ever become popular, because if my class ever took such a large hit to become unfunctional i dunno if I could enjoy this game. I see my build as a sports car I built over the years. I like to show it off but I don't want to see a copy of it all over the place, y'know?

Bombashaman

No

I have mDK build for soloing hard content with only bought or crafted gear, but I'm not ready leveling skills and testing so no reason to do it yet.

Actually I haven't seen many builds even based on NOT having almost any DLCs (I have Orsinium because Law of Julianos -set), doing PvP or dungeons needing a group (because of the mechanics). I wonder why? I'm sure I'm not the only one who likes to "push the envelope" with only the "basic" gear.

Kiralyn2000

No

I'm not even sure if it's worthy of being called a "build".

greylox

Yes

In my guild forum fully and on here when it comes up.

Lylith

No
