nah i want to see the proper version:

3 monks, 2 healer 1 prot
1 wa/mo..... droks runner, charge, sprint, balanced, etc fast paced movement.
4 el/mo, with zealots spamming draw condition through the warrior with renewal. I just havent seen this, but the effect is *identical* to balth aura stacking, which was so powerful it was nerfed. Have some wards, then camp in em healing etc, whilst the runner buffs al and speed, then runs into the enemy. maybe he could zealots spam watch yourself as well if he gets the chance to stop moving. 200dps no problems, sustained.

since the aura nerf all ive seen is 5 el/mo try and stand close to a monk, and get when he walks to the left.

Went into tombs about 6 or 7 times last night, and saw an AWFUL lot of Balthazar's Aura and other smiting - more than I saw of spirits and spikers. So there's my prediction: smiting teams.

GvGs seem to have alot of variety, but not Tombs. Tombs is just plain dead.

NR owns smiting, so spirit spam > smiting.

Going to take a bit more than making NR eliete to make that skill balanced or avoid creating another imbalance elsewhere.

They ALL went for one of us monks first and we won so easily, cause we were all taking barely any damage. All the warriors were running "Watch Yourself" and "Fear Me" and a whole lot of pure damage attacks. We eventually lost to a korean team running spirits. It was the first time I saw nature's renewal, but before I had read the description, I thought they were just massive enchant removal *sniff*

when you die in UO you show up as a grey hooded-robed ghost. Your speech shows up as o's and O's to others unless they have the spiritspeak skill.

The O oo O ooO oo O reference is from UO. I used to play that game a lot. When you died you would become a ghost and when you tried to talk to "living" people all your text would come out as Oooo OOoo Oooo oO unless you used some like spirit speak skill.

Getting back on subject, I think the current flavor of the week is a healing spring/ranger build. Basically you get 8 rangers (no monks) and have a few of them spamming Healing Spring with the rest attacking. Seems like it would would but from what I've seen, it really doesn't. I faced two of them today in tombs; unfortunately we were running some fairly intense interupts so it ruined them.

Another interesting build I saw today was a healing ball/pets group. Basically there was a group with all ranger primary/secondary and they all had pets - the players stuck together in a healing ball spamming Heal Area and such while they sent their pets out to attack. Unfortunately for us, we faced them on an Altar round and they captured it before we realised what they were doing. We were able to take their ghost down but we couldn't get ours up there (they were basically bodyblocking the altar) to capture before they ressed theirs. Quite annoying, but it worked.

Haha, actually I think it's just going to be more of a flavor of the week - it seems they would have a lot of weaknesses so I doubt it would turn into something like what spirit builds are now.
