Well I just finished the quest to get Livia and I have heard a lot about how good sabway/discordway are. Now I want to know which would be best in NM and maybe some HM and also in 8-man areas what would be good to get as hench or does it not matter too much?

IMO go discord way it has worked great for me and if u can get a partner to do whatever it is that u wanna do hm or nm run dual discord it is awesome makes hm look like child's play. U can find the team build in wiki

i dont really like sabway, but i think discord works great, but discord works really great in hm for sure, when u have a partner running discord also

I used Sabway for ages. Well, tbh - I pretty much started using it after everyone moved onto Discord-way ...
Yeah, I am a bit slow ...

I just didn't have any need for it.

Now I am running around with Discord - and I prefer it. Discord-way is MUCH more flexible since you pretty much just need high Death + Discord and you fill up the rest of the bar with goodies you need/like. That way I get things that work (eg. the massive Discord damage) and I still get to keep the sandbox (eg. the half-empty skillbars that I get to fill) to play around in.
Superb thing for a big child such as myself!

I've ran both,and i prefer discord,though if your a prof like monk who cant really spread conds or hexes,id go with sabway.

Sabway, because everyone gets pissed when I say so.

beserk · Nov 06, 2008, 05:23 PM // 17:23

For Nm why dont you just roll 3 SF eles? Sab and Dis are more suited for HM tbh.

izzywish · Nov 06, 2008, 05:43 PM // 17:43

IMHO Disway is much faster and stronger. In a 2 person 8 build I run a Prot monk and drop a RF nec and find very few occasions where I panic these days!

Molock · Nov 06, 2008, 05:51 PM // 17:51

I still run sabway, although my version is quite heavily modified to accomodate my profession. Anyway, sabway works great in HM but discord is perhaps a little stronger in HM. I don' think using sabway in NM will be a problem.

Raku Clayman · Nov 06, 2008, 05:56 PM // 17:56

I've used Sabway for a long time and it works for me in every situation. I use it in NM, HM, Vanquishing, etc. It allows me to do H and H without having to rely on someone else.

Numa Pompilius · Nov 06, 2008, 06:13 PM // 18:13

Yeah, gotta agree with everyone else: Discordway.

Just out of personal curiosity, when you guys say "discordway" do you mean with three minionmasters as in PvXwiki, or do you mean the 'original' discordway with 1 N/Mo minionmaster and two N/Rt healers?

The forth fly · Nov 06, 2008, 06:14 PM // 18:14

Discord-with my monk i did all but 1 HM tyria mission discordway,all hero/hench no other player needed only problem is it makes the game to easy

Shursh · Nov 06, 2008, 06:15 PM // 18:15

sabway for NM because it's faster

discord in HM because it's faster and you have more minions for meat shield

Capua · Nov 06, 2008, 06:24 PM // 18:24

I have switched back and forth from both, but I have to say I prefer Sabway.

Karate Jesus · Nov 06, 2008, 06:29 PM // 18:29

If you have two people for HM run discord way. If you're vanquishing by yourself, I'd sabway. That's the way I always choose

Improvavel · Nov 06, 2008, 06:36 PM // 18:36

Or you can always run sabway way with discord as the elite

That's pretty much exactly what discordway is. Lol.

I agree with this, especially if you're a defensive type class such as monk, ele or paragon. If you can't kill right away, spiteful spirit will end up doing more damage. With only 3 discorders, it's possible to be outhealed when facing a bunch of monks.

The other mainline option is racway, which I haven't tried yet. But in some cases, it is probably stronger than either discordway or sabway.

The thing about Discord, is the bar of your three heroes is still pretty much empty. You can still give one of them some minions and death nova and a couple of prots or heals if need be. One of them can still run a N/Rt well (well, two of them can). Your bar will probably be the most fleshed out as you need to make sure the enemies meet the requirements for discord.
Someone said, Discordway is basically Sabway but with the elites replaced with Discord.

Although I don't much like what is recommended on PvX wiki, especially the use of rotting flesh.

Rotting flesh works extremely well for the large majority of PvE.
