What do you think the next flavor of the month build will be after iway dies down. I know theres a posibility of the N/Me spike build. I've run HoH spike builds for a while now and a spike build is very fragile and not for a beginner. Let me know what you think is coming up next.

my best guess, earth-ball spiking

Shhh... No one needs to know about that

earth ball spiking doesnt work that well, its super-noticeable and once you recognize it just stay away.

It's pretty hard to predict flavor of the month Air Bender...

I want to say an heavy hex build with some sort of spiking (wheter it be air, warrior, or some other type of spike)

The nerfing of NR Opens up this possibilty, it pales in comparison to Smiting but if you look at most of the fad builds going around they are light on hex removal. You usually get 1 or 2 hex removal on healing monks, maybe a smiter that carry smite hex. But with the nerfing of NR, convert hexes becomes the really only effective mass hex removal. Considering that 90% of the prot monks out there dont use Convert Hex only means that with the right players and a flexible build that isnt dependent on any one single hex would be hard to counter by the majority of the teams out there.

water spike

lol who know. whatever the flavor of the month is dont really matter. we'll just run the counter of the month and go fame farming.

ManadartheHealer · Sep 17, 2005, 09:15 PM // 21:15

FOTM for September is IWAY right?

FOTM for october is a build that counters IWAY (I.e. some sort of heal/smite ball)

papercut · Sep 17, 2005, 09:17 PM // 21:17

Dunno, both IWAY and Smite are pretty popular right now, but you are getting more and more teams that are mixed.

Kampfkeks · Sep 17, 2005, 09:21 PM // 21:21

I'd also say it will be something hex heavy. Those have just been taken out of the game by NR for too long as well as the enchantments. And as those have allready done moo in the halls it is now time for the hexes to do so.
But then again, all the flavors did not use much brainpower to apply so far... it has been the easy things and once someone worked those out everyone copied it. So probably i'd guess it won't be hexes as many of them are just heavy conditional and require atleast one active braincell to use.

Rhuric · Sep 17, 2005, 09:40 PM // 21:40

Condition causing maby? Either that or lots of hex's.

Dead Panda · Sep 17, 2005, 09:44 PM // 21:44

Dark Aura Spike + Smite?

No way. Hell, I dunno.

Brother Andicus · Sep 17, 2005, 10:31 PM // 22:31

Expect healing ball and putrid to reappear. Im sure in not the only one getting tired of wells of suffering/profane.

And yes, an easy hex build may well be a new fotm. Its suprising how effective 4 monks and 4 me/n's carrying degen hexes can be - Healing seed doesnt work against degen.
