This would require a team of organized players, not the skill-less noobsticks that do IWAY teams all day long. And the only problem I see is if the enemy team is smart enough to NOT bunch up... see the whole idea behind the build is first herding the enemy team together.
Then all the warriors (who have been getting individual targets with the rest of the enemy team) will cast Mark of Pain, then Hundred Blades {E}.

If a single warrior hit three targets with Hundred Blades (all hexed with mark of Pain) here's what would happen:

X.........T.......X
-24*...-24....-24
-24.....-24....-24
-34*...-34....-34
-34.....-34....-34
-34.....-34....-34
-34.....-34....-34
..........-34
..........-34
---......---.....---
184.....252....184 = 620 damage spread

* 24: just a number I used for the damage done by a single hit of Hundred Blades
* 34: the shadow damage dealt by Mark Of Pain at rank 12 Curses.

With one warrior casting Hundred Blades on each of those enemies, the damage output would increase to a mindboggling amount.

If you wanted to be really funny, you could then switch to an axe and do Cyclone Axe ^_^ Wouldn't give you nearly the same results, but it would do a hell of a lot of damage nontheless.

You could almost do this with N/W's and max out curses to 18 (with hat, sup rune, and Awaken the Blood), but in this build I think the 80+ AL Warriors have can give them the little edge to get the enemy team close enough together.

Comments? Suggestions? Useless Insults that make you feel better?

It could work, but...that's gonna need some damn good warriors..also, the warriors should all bring something for anti-evade/block to be more effective. All in all, the concept would work unless they spread like wildfire.

That's why it's good that the only two skills the warriors are REQUIRED to bring are Mark of pain and Hundred Blades. They then have 5 slots (res also required, 8-3=5) to fill up with things to help their performance.

This is good in concept, yes, that's why I put it out. I want to see it tested.

Alternatively, you could use three warriors doing this strategy... have 2 air spikers with Chain Lightning... a dom mes to handle enemy monks... and 2 monks to keep everyone alive. The three warriors would get ignored, be able to get right into the enemy team, and eat them from the inside out.

Anyone else interested in testing? We can schedule a time if we get enough people.
