Strategy for me is TR from pack to pack.
One bell will destroy trash mobs.
With elites ... I hit and bell them at the same time till they die ( 6 - 8 Bells usually ... with SOJ, its a little quicker)

With my TR Bell build ... I use 4 piece innas to reduce SW to 5 spirit ( less than 4 piece, you have to manage spirit better)
Only spirit regen gear I have is helm 1.8 (sometimes I use SOJ as well with 1.65)
3800 armour
48K  life
560 all res
5.7 LS
206K dmg
MP7 runs are quick .... MP10 just takes a little longer

I loaded up with all res gear cuz I have to drop OWE passive in Bell build.
You gear looks good ... try getting some all res gear and keep same stats (ring, belt, bracer, glove)

Thank you so much, you're a huge help. I have 4 piece innas but I don't have spirit problems w/ this setup. Its a little tricky keeping the SW up all the time w/o innas but not unmanageable. I will look for upgrades, thanks again monkster and everyone

Use the TR only to move from pack to pack.

It's easier to just spam all the bells in a row. Press the bell button down til you are almost out of spirit. Rising Tide the mobs to get the spirit back up to 70-80%, spam the bells again.

This is better than Bell/Hit/Bell/Hit.

And if you are low on spirit and theres only 1-2 mobs left near you, just hit them down. Don't waste bells.

Improving these little stuff will help you out a lot.

And air ally's supposed to only have 2% chance to give you 100 spirit but it sometimes procs like 3 times in a row for me in a fight. So, try to keep your ally up all times. She flirts with the mobs sometimes and doesn't come back to you.

Roger that. yeah I found that spamming out bells is better than attk/attk/bell simultaneously. Very good tips & thanks for all your help; you guys really know your shit

/e

Yeah I never doubted the effectiveness of air ally and really like it; I just have to break myself from relying on serenity but once you do, it's great.

I've been amazed how my playstyle changed in a good way just by getting used to playing without serenity.

It kinda helps me to be better at pvp too. Pathing/Juking/Escaping all these things can be benefited by getting used to the build without serenity.

But it's completely up to the preference, ally slot and exalted soul slot are both free slots for us to use whatever.

Thanks Jin ... you are awesome.
I had fun pvp in PTR.
Haven't done much in 1.07

I need to buy a bunch of amethyst gems first.
Just hate swapping gems all the time.
