Default FoWSC T1 Alternative Builds

So, recently, I've been running a few alternative builds with T1, such as FH, Snow Storm, that sort of thing, but I was wondering if anyone else had any favorite uncommon builds? Even if they require a significant change of tactics. (R/A does not count. )

Tried to run SnowStorm some times ago, super fast at cleaning ToS but too much Abyssals and it's a biiiiiiig fail! Happened yesterday too... Dunno if I must use PCons or what :P

Snowstorm is the way to go if you want to finish it at 15age with a good team :P

Vipers + FH is kinda fun if feeling brave.

Yeah, I tried that, but found E Management to be a bit stressed.

Does anyone know if bringing Intensity (triggered by Sliver) and Unseen Fury instead of Mental Block and Death's Charge is worth it? Does it only trigger once per sliver, or once per hit?

Rad field is only good if doing ToS bigpull imo and most ppl die from that. But if u can handle bigpull with rad its probably the fastest option.

If doing bigpull at ToS, Mental block should be mandatory, or at least I think, or you could use unseen fury when using Sliver so no knockdown without IaU, need testing but with a good bodyblock Snowstorm might be faster than Rad field on that case!

Need testing but with pugs if you fail you're called a "noooob" xD

EDIT: Forgot about the ones using Dwarven Stability... Might try it :P

Yeah, it seems that with dwarven stability and then Snowstorm instead of Death's Charge, bigpull is the safest, fastest, and easiest way to go, as long as you body block correctly.

Yeah but without mental block, 3 PvE skills limit, Burning Forest can be tricky, especially when bblocked and without the +24 armor from IaU!

Just tested the bblock live so :P

Ah, fine point, I suppose you could always try replacing Armor of Earth with Unseen, and bring IAU and MB. That way you'd be invisible to the melee for those 10 seconds where you have no IAU bonus.

Fun fun.

Wait, when you take HoS and RF, do you put RF in place of Mental Block? If so, isn't Bigpull a bit... stressed?

GAWD I'M SUCH A NABZ

Brainstorming may some time give result!

At ToS you can drop your SF for the first group of abyssals and rangers... Wich give ~40dmg per sliver on 7 Targets! To do so just grab aggro and run under the "arch" under wich youre not exposed to Worms attacks! Once those are dead just put SF up again and kill the rest normal way with Sliver + Rad Field!

May requires uses of personal cons! Candy corn/Birthday cupcakes/Apple...

Just some thoughts :P

Eh, 10 damage reduction helps a lot more than an extra 15 dmg imo, and the rangers would probably get you pretty quick.

Doesnt work, Damage will be the same (maybe like 5 dmg more if using pcons) with or without SF up. The armor of abyssals will reduce slivers damage to ~25-30 anyways, so no benefit in dropping SF for a bit..

I tried using Snow Storm, but when abyssals scatter, you got less Sliver fuel?

*Sorry if this thread is out-dated
