hi guys. SO Sabway if pretty efficient. im completely thankful for being able to use it. But i need help. You see, so many people are running their own little versions of sabway, with their 3 necros. I cant clearly tell which ones are effective, but im aware that most of you tweak the builds up depending on location. SO what i need help with is

A. what variants of Sabway builds can u use for , MM, SS, and healer?

b. which skills do you switch out for what locations. (this answer will help me so i know what ot bring before i vanq an area).

C. Does the orginal Sabway builds that are posted in the sticky, capable of clearing most of HM, or is changing up the build often most nessacary.

gosh im confused =/, if you can help me with this, id sincerely apprecieate it. thanks

/apologize for being a sab noob

The original sabway works wherever there's plenty of bodies, but less well where there's heavy AoE damage.

As for tweaks I've switched out the pretty inefficient SS necro for Gwen specced for shutdown & visions of regret.

You might want to have a look at "discordway" too, it's more robust than Sabway and works better when bodies are scarce. Do a search and you'll find plenty.

Discord way is better than Sab's IMO

discord only rely's on one skill so it is more flexible build

with Sab's the main lacks are- Hex's and Prot.

but with Discord you can do what i do is run a discord-prot monk.

just my 2 cents

The standard Sabway template is great for 90%+ of areas. For the other 10%, you have to use some initiative and adapt your heroes' builds accordingly.

For condition-heavy areas, I give my MM Extinguish, and for hex-heavy areas, I give that hero Convert hexes instead. Ideally, the MM should always bring Protective Spirit too, even if the Restoration necro has Xinrae's Weapon.

The original Sabway worked for me while vanquishing everything. There were hiccups here and there but you must adapt, flag and micro to get the best out of them in particularly complicated or awkward zones.

In short, the basic copy/paste Sabway template will work in HM vanquishes but altering skills here and there will work to your advantage.

Sabway was good for a while... I did allot of vanquishing with it. But it really had trouble in hex heavy areas (like southern shiverpeaks for example).

This is just 1 version of the DiscordWay team I've seen. I've modified it to suit my title character (ele). The main thing that you need to be concerned about is to make sure conditions and hexes are on the foe you've targeted so Discord can pwn. Look through the variations and see what changes to make depending on the area.
