I'm sorry but I failed to gain any signifigance from your post. Your comment just seems like an excuse to actually adapt to updates and fotm builds. I do realize that Dervishes are totally overpowered and will be balanced hopefully before nightfall, but builds like IWAY, necro spike, NR/TRANQ are very easy to adapt to. Eliminate or neutralize the correct players in the build, and most likely you will roll them. I'm not going to spend time explaining how, if you are in [SWIM] you should know. IWAY is a joke, only a couple of people run decent iway groups, necro spike is a joke also, I'm sorry but if you cant infuse bspike even WITH QZ up, then your team deserves to lose. All it takes is a good infuser, and a good backup healing monk, usually the woh.

As far as NR/Tranq, I don't even know why you included this build into your rant. As far as I've seen, CC is the only guild that runs it correctly and well. I don't ever see anyone else in halls fame farming or winning/holding halls with NR/Tranq like we do. It does in fact take skill, and it is not as easy as many of you might think. The amount of communication required for this build is so much more than I have ever needed for any other build. The air ele is hard as hell to play, the rit and ranger must make sure they arent interupted by seekign arrows or pd mesmer, and the monks builds are very tough to get use to in this build.

He never said that SWIM fails to beat these builds, he just said that they were bored of playing them. Quite understandable really.

Buddy were you high when you posted that? It's bad enough you missed the point without taking the superior tone.

I dunno but he is sure sitting on a high horse, seeing as I myself have never heard of his guild, anyways staying on topic.
I don't follow the current guilds in HA anymore too much because I moved onto GvG, but the guilds back in the day who i think dominated would be:
Sissy Boys [sB]
Servite Nostrum Animus [SNA]
Zodiac Braves [ZB]
We Love Guild [love]*forgot exact tag
Marvel Superheroes [MS]
Lulu's pug groups
Good Guild [gg]*forgot exact tag
Int. 1 allstars [gg]
Muppet Babies [mB] *you could say a little bias :P
Nuclear Launch Detected [Nu]
Rome Army [rome]*forgot exact tag
The Drunken Guild [DRNK]
Samurai Pizza Cats [spc]

I know there were others but I can't remember them all, but these are my "opinions" and who I felt dominated at the time when the game was new and fresh.

its not about how easy it is to beat it its about how annoying it is having to fight the same damn builds over and over and over again.. Thats why i quit tombing seriously back in nov/december.. Tombs is just 100% trash right now filled with rank 9-10 iway players/vim players which is really sad... GVG is wheres the real pvp competetion is at...

Yes I misunderstood the post. I reread it and I understand now. Sorry for the arrogant tone, but honestly I like facing IWAY and BSPIKE and VIM over and over and over and over again, because they are so easy to beat. Although, it does get quite boring and yes GvG is where the real competition is at, hand down. I do agree that halls is a joke with all these gimmicks in halls, but I guess thats what makes it fun all at the same time, is that its not as serious as gvg.

NR/tranq? what do you consider that?

Besides Bspike isnt a spike, any half decent infuser can stop it, i consider it a pressure that being said i would have to put mordrid knights name up here.

i also cant understand whats up with the occasional comment from CC people saying how they are the only ones that can play tr/nr and how good they are and how hard it is and so on.. I dont think many care about that tbh..

IWAY is easy hmm? You won halls once last night, then we came and took it from you? The previous night you shit talked a whole bunch after beating us, with only 7 players...I didn't hear the talk after we took halls from you last night...

Yes, 1vs1 iway is easy with the only exception of a mistake versing Hopeless, but on courtyard and hoh it is a different story. Theres always that 3rd factor/team that can mess up a teams holding position. Either way I didnt play last night, so dont say anything to me regarding last night. I wasn't there and I didn't know what happend. As far as us trash talking iway after a win, why not its iway.

Either way, someone made a post on the strenghts of NR/Tranq, and one is vs iway.

Why trash talk, its poor sportsmanship...I had heard that CC was trash talkers, but I didn't believe it...until a couple days ago...I don't think your fellow members wanted to be taunted after they lost to IWAY in the big dance...

We get it. You and your iway buddies love showing off your large phallic rods. Keep it in your retarted alliance chat and out of the forums. Add something to your post that has something to do with the thread or don't post at all.

Gimmick builds are dominating halls. Iway, vim(although you have to "win" in order to be considered "dominating"), choking gas rangers, and smite are all pretty popular nowadays.

I trash talk almost any iway that opens their mouth in public chat that isnt "gl hf" or "gg". I hate iway, I always will. We have about 2-3 people that usually play most of the time that trash talk just about anyone, which gave us our trash talk rep. Most of the guys in the guild are real nice, and myself, as well as the leader and a couple others always end matches that we win in a truthful "gg, gl next run".

I dont blake people for saying CC talks too much trash, even though it is only usually a couple of people, perception is reality. Cant say I wouldnt mind not having that rep though.

I'd have to agree with Cawk. So far most of the CC people have been pretty nice from what I've seen, and anyone who's fine with playing with a nonranking newb like me in HA is cool in my book.
