I never lost to teaseway while playing IWAY as far as I can remember, so it just depends on the players I guess.

lol Haxor, you've lost to E/Rt iway. Hell you came within 2 points of losing to iway on antechamber. But I know for a fact I've been in iways that beat Nion with the usual tease hero and RoJ monk on fetid and burial mounds. I don't know why you guys insist on continuing to play teaseway, you're just gimping yourself...but don't bullshit either.

If IWAY wasn't so boring to play against, I'd have no issue with it. When you're pugging, it often turns into waiting for one of their warriors to get a lucky dchop on a key skill on your backline, at which point your team explodes.

Really though, the meta in HA hasn't been fun for a long time, so I don't know if there's any sense in complaining.

the skill is broken always has been but the main issue in ha is the criteria to win halls when most of the iway plays and is successful isnt when balanced is running its mostly ps crap the big issue in ha atm is the fact that an iway team can perma body block the ghost and tank in aoe given the rest of the build. i have hated the skill for 3 years and its not going to change now. pnh made it runable again even the almighty *snickers* "dongway" was susceptable to hexway and thats why you would see them just gank some poor unsuspecting team that actually used some "skill" to get to hall because they are so honorable. knowing they cant win so they just ruin other teams chances for no other reason other than the fact that can because of they are such great leet players/people. iway has always been and will continue to be a skill used by scrubs with no skills trying to abuse an obviously broken skill that annet has never done anything about. and no there is no good complaining to annet they dont care but iwayers always get found out for the crap players they are when it gets nerfed a little and then they are trying to play the rank they have aquired using iway in a real team and guess what you get found out and the all chat abuse starts in ha and then everyone knows! A frowned on skill that users of it continually try to justify and never win is what iway is.

good joke? this hasn't happened when I'm in the group

Funway I still think IWAY is a reasonable skill, in order for it to be effective you MUST take 3-4 players with Charm Animal on their skillbars, you lose so much utility by doing this that it seems to be a fair trade.

If the enemy team manages to not kill pets, then their bars have 2 dead skills on it. But since HA is AoE abuse fest the people complaining most about IWAY are the ones abusing AoE and Heroes. Im not saying that you do those things because I dont know you, but anybody that complains about a build typically were successful players that dont want to change their build and would rather see other builds nerfed out of the rotations so that they can go back to winning again

Maybe you should consider taking some advice from borat (killed u man). I'm sure he could give you some decent tips on how to write a good QQ-flame-izzy thread.

I swear, you are beginning to sound more and more like Borat, talking about how pwn your build is every chance you get.

IWAY is GW, Anet has tried to bring it down to a reasonable level and managed to do as much as they can. If you still have problems against the build, then it's your fault for failing, not Izzy's (kinda odd comment to make, too, seeing as how he doesn't have much say in skill balances in GW1 anymore. Might explain why the last update was actually decent...)

That's a low blow.

Everyone blames the skill IWAY, because its IWAY that is overpowered and certainly not the other 56 skills that are brought. It certainly saw a lot of play between Nightfall release and Defy Pain update. That's how overpowered it is.

We started runing IWAY on the bars to get the retro IWAY rage. No one ran IWAY anymore because it was even bad as far as pug groups go, then the rage was more delicious. Unfortunately now that people are running IWAY, we have to find something else.

I wouldn't really say its overpowered, but it is pretty much rape in an annihilation match. I actually find the spear swipe to be the gayest part of your build. It was the skill that was generating kills when I played against you guys.

Reverend you may call that Dongway, but it's not your build. It's a less competent form of the old BNET paraway backline/support. I should know; I built it. And it was way more overpowered before they added 4s r/c to Watch Youself and GFTE and jacked the r/c on SoR. We'd run it whenever we felt like going on invinci-mode for a few hours. And yes, Finale is the most broken skill in the game.
Still waiting for a skill balance that returns balanced to HA;

Of course its less competent, the dual incoming got nerfed. Also not having energizing to give your monks more energy than they can use while they can sit in soldiers defense, is another pretty big blow. Speaking of monks, it wasn't until the past month or so that we even started running a monk (P&H is really overpowered).

Oh I got it, you were the first to run multiple paragons, so any build with multiple paragons must therefore stolen from you. I'm pretty sure the aussies that first came up with our parabackline (which has changed enough you couldn't really call it the same build anymore) don't know who you are, nor give a shit who you are.

Yeah we ran all paladin whammos in beta, so any build with more than one warrior is just a lame attempt to copy us.

I remember when the Paladdin was actually being promoted. Back in the old days where you couldn't change secondary profession on your PvP characters...

Those were the days: Log in, create PvP character, get a list of pre-made templates.

I remember the palladin being in there (Wammo with Mending and HH), aswell as the Migraine Ranger (Don't ask) and the Boonprot Monk. The Toucher was also one of my favorites...

Good times, good times <3
