Yes, I do think I'll be laughing.

Armor ignoring damage isn't that bad when it's low. Snares are pretty dumb when you play PvE.

As for monks, take a look at cast times in the the Prot line. All the important ones are 1/4. Like I said, I'd be laughing.

Good on ya man, because I think you'd be one of the few. Pre-protting can only soak so much before chain knockdowns keep the Warriors from building adrenaline properly, and allow enemy frontliners into the tender bits of my team, all while being unable to kite from AoE.

Of course, this is coming from someone relatively new to GW, who H/H's everything because of disappointingly immature guilds, and has never enjoyed the tastiness of SY!

Firstly I'd like to see you do that and secondly it seems your still want to make it harder while you still don't use all the options you have!

My point was that you are in self control on the number of players you bring, the skills you bring and on your hero's.
If you want it hard maybe you could start using the hardly ever used skills and maybe show a.net that the plethora of underpowered skills are being used for once instead of whining to a.net to a.net there game is to easy.

Why should I use gimmick builds if I want to make it myself harder, jeeeez.

but glyph isn't a stance that can be thrown up mid spell, takes time to cast, can be interrupted, ends after 1 spell being cast, requires you be e/* or */e.

MoR is only lasts 5 seconds. I don't like the "quick, do it now!" function.

Depends on how it's done.

If it's a shout, Vocal Minority.
If it has an activation time 1 second or more, it can be interrupted. Less, and it's more annoying.
Spell form and dazed will work.

If the snare is cripple, condition removal.
If it's a hex form, hex removal.
Skill form and you have an annoyance.

The damage is either reduced by Prot Spirit and Spirit Bond or too trivial to worry about.

You'd know it would be used almost as soon as you aggro, so Ward of Stability is a good counter to the knockdown. Either that, or take the knockdown on whoever takes aggro and then start beating up the mob.
