Ok i have something to clarify here. Nowadays it seems everyone hates IWAY's and calls them noobs. Not true. I've been playing for quite some time (pvp and pve), and alot of the time i prefer to set up an IWAY real quick and go have some fun. 1) Because it's an easy build to get the hang of. 2) Because it's easy to get a good IWAY team together. and 3) Because if you are in a good group, you can do really good. Of course you do have bad times when alot of noobs start an IWAY, but alot of really good players use IWAY's. You may lose to builds of other types but it's part of the game, you can't always win, and for every build there is a build that will beat it.

P.S. To all of you saying you dont want an IWAY because they never win HoH, you probably shouldn't be playing the game anyways. It's not about always being the best, it's about having fun doing something you enjoy.

Before the IWAY hating was becuase balance groups couldn't beat them. Atleast they couldn't beat Anti-Ball Iway. Now, though, with everyone running 2 trappers, 2 necros, 2 W/Rs, nobody balls against IWAY unless they are "noobs".

So, now there are alot of anti-IWAY teams and alot of people that don't know how to play (IE, people trying to tank, not bringing attack skills, bad attribute point distrobution, and of course, those who leave on the first loss), it makes for bad fame farming. Thus, IWAY isn't very good anymore and it's pretty much a waste of time with non-guild groups. Even those aren't too great.

Plus, it gets old pretty fast if your team can't get very far without dying.

I don't have much against IWAY, but it's starting to get on my nerves. Tombs are infested with it, i mean, when i actually go to tombs, 3 out of 5 teams are iway, and BAD iway. It's getting old playing against the same things, I'm not saying they suck, but 90% of them do. People is actually smarter now and are realizing they can beat these teams, and they are. I wouldn't mind as much if i only fought one iway team each run, but last night it went like this: IWAY, a team that had no idea what to do, IWAy, IWAY, and a good team that beat us. there's too many..

Well i do aggre about there being to many IWAY teams that arent that good but there is still alot of good IWAY teams, and we do still win alot. of course some people do ruin it for everyone, but it bothers me when people speak in generalizations and say the "all IWAYS suck", very much not true

A lot of people discredit fame farming with IWAY, but a lot of these people were fame farming with:

1)Fertile stacking greif builds
2)Smite stacking insane damage builds
3)Spirit spamming warrior's or ranger's only have a chance builds
4)Air spike easy kill builds

IWAY gives players a chance to go in and win, against many people. It is very powerful in the right hands, IWAY held for a little while last night, and is probably the best build at knocking teams off of altars. It is not very difficult to counter, so not really unfair. Building in tombs requires several possible counters, IWAY is one of them.

By the time they see the tombs enough, they have absorbed the ideas behind many more "credible" builds and should have no problem fitting in there.

Nice Avatar!

Wow, IWAY really is the hot topic in here! If a topic isn't about IWAY it quite quickly turns into one

I have already given my opinion elsewhere in this forum, but I am suprised at passions that are aroused when IWAY is even mentioned on forums and even in-game.

But I agree with Nisshoki, IWAY is still a valid tombs build and good IWAY players will do well in the tombs until they come across a specifically anti-IWAY team or a better team than they are. Alls fair in love and war....

I think the only problem in the tombs is its a bit stagnant. Maybe when Chapter 2 arrives with an assasin profession (and another..!) we will see more creativity in the team builds!

Mightn't even have tombs in chapter 2 though....is that a scary thought?

I like hench-way myself

. Because the warm feeling you get when you own somone with 4 hench just can't be beat.
