Default [pRma] DoA FoCway, - Technically Challenging,

Now im gonna be very honest - this is not a build for the newer groups - it requires OP (On-Point) spikes and healing,
and is very demanding on tanks to pull properly, - i present this too you all. to present a challenge,

Tactics would be nice, and some screenshots maybe? Although this doesn't look like the fastest build around, it might come out surprising

Tactics Works around a 3way split - that is. tbh - alittle more than just ''difficult''. to explain,

were averaging 54 minute runs with it so far. undependant on wich zone we start in - this however has something to do with the fact. that its rather new. and we have new people along on allmost every run,

We do daiily run - i will take some screenshots today.

Tbh, 54 isn't that fast. Other guilds can get 54 with more reliable builds, without completely gimping themselves by dropping a healer. I can't imagine that your rate of completion is anywhere near as high as it could/should be.

However, seeing as agro had a part in this, it probably does work. I still think you'd do better by bringing more healing.

54 is nice, but as you mentioned, the rate of completion will be lower then other builds which can get the same times, but we'll see It's a new build, needs some practise.

so far weve failed 1 run - and had 12-14 runs thats gone flawless.

as far as ''gimping'' you only gimp yourself taking out the healer. if you rely on that.
we like to rely on spiking and pulling correctly first time,

this works just fine, just for the record.

Anyways we're currently in the making of a new DoA guide with all the updated tactics. Dont know if we're going to include the trenchway tactics as its pretty hard to pull off for the average team. It will be focused around the "manlyway" build as well, where the completion times are very much identical even with only 2 tanks.

thanks for the builds pRma!

Agreed, this looks very interesting. I'm interested in tactics and pictures are well. Isn't veil an issue with the hungers?

No - Veil is an issue if tanks dont pull properly first time. or - if the bonder Isent OP,

If those two arrent an issue. Spirit bond is all you need,

Im basically guessing they just spam spirit bond on the tank over and over, similar to Infuse->Seed->Infuse. Looks promising. Congrats.

Spam and Spam - bonder needs to maintain bonds + spirits.
so Spamming aint an option with the energy,

Spikes need to fall like a hammer. its not a build that is beginner friendly - ill be the first to tell that :P

Yeah i was just wondering about the 3 big hunger groups in Veil. I'm not doubting it won't work, it does just sound like it is more difficult then it should be. And to be honest, I'm surprised if Spirit Bond provides enough healing to keep the tank up. I mean they do have quite a bit of touch skills, but would Dark Aura trigger Spirit Bond, or does the touch skills? If both then I hope it is a quick spike.

Ye, Dark Aura triggers Spirit Bond whereas touch skills don't.
This is enough to keep the tank up even if the Bonder has to got the perfect timing to not cause scatter and to keep the tank alive ofc.

This does not appear to be a HM build as all the screen shots do not show HM. Update: Guess I did not know about the Icons.

Based on the skills and the path, the biggest time improvement appears to be a Veil split with NT to the trench and the rest take the incoming mobs. I suspect the UA and Failer do the trenches.
