Master Architect on a healer

Lord-Otto

Crescent Sweep (templar) to proc it. With Spell Power Cure and Bogdan (Nightflame) sets alongside it. For a group of four. Oh, and Hollowfang is available as an alternative.
Is that a good idea?
Thanks in advance!

Beat you to it. Below is my build.

Suggestion: Do not trigger Architect with a low cost ultimate. You provide 1 second of major slayer per 14 ultimate spent. Crescent Sweep costs 70 Ultimate, which is only 5 seconds of Major Slayer. Instead, trigger it off of Aggressive Warhorn which is 250 ultimate, providing 17 seconds of Major Slayer, and also 15 seconds of Major Force. This is made easier when you choose a class like Nightblade with Soul Harvest which provides you with 10 Ultimate when you kill an enemy while on the bar the Ultimate is slotted on. There is a buffer that as long as you damaged them right before they die, you gain the ultimate. So laying down Elemental Blockade is enough to get you the 10 ultimate per enemy quite easily.

The below build has been tested by me in Vet Dungeons, and it is quite awesome. Definitely speeds up the run.

Nightblade Healer

Olorime Lightning Staff (Weapons and Jewelry)
Master Architect (Body Pieces)
Master's Staff (Primary Bar)

Soul Harvest (Primary Bar)
Aggressive Warhorn (Backup Bar)

Minor Vulnerability (Teleport Strike)
Minor Berserk (Combat Prayer)
Major Slayer (Master Architect)
Major Force (Aggressive Warhorn)
Major Courage (Olorime)
Off Balance (Lightning Staff)
Minor Magicka Steal/Major Breach & Fracture (Elemental Drain)
Major Expedition (Refreshing Path)

Indeed. And if you want to get a little expensive with it, you can make yourself Potions of Heroism for a little boost to the ultimate generation speed. You can also put Decisive on your staves. But I actually don't recommend that as Infused or even Powered would be better since Nightblade Heals aren't the most powerful or abundant.

It doesn't matter if you proc it from low or high cost ultimate since you will be getting the same amount of slayer uptime regardlessly.

But with a high-cost ultimate, you can coordinate it with your group's ulties.

It will indeed be more impactful because high cost ultimate will be stronger, but uptime-wise, if you use sweeps or destro ult with 250 ultimate, both scenarios will give you 17 seconds.

Yup. Think that got changed, originally it didn't scale with ult cost.

I think the argument is that in bursty/short fights in 4 man, it makes sense to try to build big ultimate in trash pulls, so that when you drop the warhorn at the beginning, you have the buffs up for the whole fight. But absolutely, if you are just looking at uptime over an infinite length fight, it doesn't matter whether its low cost or high cost. The uptime will be same.
