I do.. It's fun for a bit but gets boring fast.

Btw I win a lot, probably more than 60% of the time. Still a grind.

Seriously, OP...go as Mesmer, take Power Block. Watch just how many Fire Eles try over and over to cast Meteor Shower on you, forgetting every time that they're just P-Block fodder.

Necro is also insanely fun. I went in last night with [skill]Scourge Enchantment[/skill][skill]Pain of Disenchantment[/skill][skill]Defile Enchantments[/skill][skill]Rend Enchantments[/skill]. Dervishes, Eles, Monks are all fair game. Those skills are in themselves fairly limited in their use, though for a change, it's very fun.

LOL the only way AB is fun if you have good teams which the majority of time is you get your team good with 2 nub groups who run farm builds and RA builds.

My favourite build at the moment is my Ele/Para with Water Trident and "Fall Back!".

Hitting running opponents is always a good laugh. And "Fall Back!" rocks in AB and people start capturing shrines by themselves if they mention the benefits from this skill.

I played cripshot a lot, that's usually fun.

Recently tried a migraine mesmer and having a blast.
(Migrane, Conj Nightmare, Ether Feast, PDrain, PReturn, Drain Enchant, Illusions of Haste, Mending Touch)

Basically, I like bars that play a disruption role and are fairly self-sufficient. And I fully agree on "idiots make AB more fun" :P

Should make party buff. If all members of the party are within earshot range then you get attack buff. Should make mobbing debuff if there are more than 6 allies within spirit range you suffer from 15% attack and heal debuff.

EDIT: On topic:: That's what I do to make AB fun. Just going in and PuG'ing is boring enough to put me to sleep. Getting a well coordinated group of friends, running builds that compliment each other and allow you to handle 90% of the situations you'll face in AB, are what make AB fun for me now.
I like to get friends and run totally stupid builds tbh.

Change it so the "Town" owning alliances can't get guested to the other side and lose on purpose and it might be fun in Alliance Battles again. It's not an uncommon sight to see a full group of Kurz on the Luxon side and if you happen to get teamed with that group in a battle , you are probably gonna lose no matter how good the other 8 people are.

It's sad that ANET doesn't do something about it and make owning a town more prestigious than a reward for those Alliances that can cheat the best. Instead of looking at them Allaince with respect , its more like looking at them in disgust because they obviously only have a town because they FFF constantly or cheat in the AB arena.

I suppose if the Allainces that owned towns were getting some kind of "real money" award ANET would immediately set some kind of limitations on who could qualify to own one. Its obvious that ANET could care less about the "Town Owning Tournament" since no "real money" is involved.

Go ranger. BHA. Pick an ele. Kill it with degeneration and interrupts, and when you kill it, look for him again. Dance or play violin on it's dead body. Repeat.

Or get Throw Dirt and do the same with an assassin. Eles are more fun because they try to escape but most don't have a self-heal.

Mesmers can be a total pain for you so you may consider playing as them too.
