Default Bit of Help against Iway?

Im asking for help on tatics against iway on Scarred Earth.Our build was a adreline spike of 1 Axe/shock 2 ranger spikers 1 earth ele and 1 orders 3 monks.Well we beat the first team and IWAY was the next team so we started fighting around in the open area after you defeat a team.There rt and other spirits was around there 2nd obliesk(the one after you defeat someone).So . . . as the war I went to go hunt down the spirits no big deal but they came back straight back up.We just tried to take down overextended war's.Still didn't work though.

So what do yall do when your a a spike and you face IWAY?

Yah we tried that at first but you've gotta spike to or nothing is ever going to die and they'd get punished for overextending.I guess we should just pushed as hard as possible?

drop the ranger spikers, get a r/w choking gas ranger, and a mesmer (migraine is pretty good in HOH, though I'm not endorsing it...shatter enchantment and diversion are too good in the domination line). keep one r/w on the rit, get the other on the ooa necro.

also, be more patient. No need to rush in, just go back to where your comfortable playing and wait them out. most iway groups want action, so use that to your advantage.

Against an iway with a ritualist. They lack trappers which means you can push in as far as possible to their soft targets. Be sure to let the warrior shock & snare the necro so he can kill it. Kill OoA as soon as possible and you'll be fine with some decent monks.

no way, blood spike and nr/tranquility are. Iway is that least common denominator for testing a build. If you can beat Iway, you can probably handle a lot of other stuff.

For some reason I never had too much of a hard time against Iway. When I run henchway, we run a heavy anti-warrior necro (SS, Mark of Pain) which turns out to be extremely effective.

just get rangers on the 2 necros, i find ritualists arent that big of a problem, get earth ele to cast wards and orders necro to wand the trapper. dont bother spiking against iway, just shutdown the necros and have your warrior pick off targest 1 by one

That advice is very build dependant.

Thanks for the help guys ^^ usasully against a good iway the war's would run after the rangers that overextended letting the wards push up and making the necro's basically against the walls so they had no one was overextended anymore it usasully ends up in a somewhat long battle,but it works so thanks everyone .


Against a worse iway that doesn't get overextenders the 1 ranger on the Rt,one ranger on the OoA,and I as the war would just kill the OoP usasully quite easily since my ranger buddy is pretty good at interupting ^_^.So once we got the necro's dped off and them out of rez sigs.We'd go after the ritualist then the ranger, then clean up on their wars.

If your orders is a me/n, then get him to bring diversion and use this tactic :
Once the rit spammer starts casting a spirit, cast diversion immediately, so as to disable that spirit for a long time, without letting the rit spammer cancel casting
