what can you say about edge that hasn't been said already. it is extemely powerful and very easy to run. hell you only need 2 skills to make it work well.

you probly won't be making it to halls with it. if you do i dought you win. not saying its impossible but highly unlikely. it is a good faction farmer though. i've seen 1:30-2 minute battles in tombs 8vs8vs8vs8 teams.

I love EoE bombs, quick and effective. It does however has one major flaw - it relies on Edge Of Extinction. If the spirit carrier(s) gets interupted while laying it then you're in trouble.

Our guild went up against an edge bomb earlier today and luckily we had the drop because we saw a bunch of necros and figured it would be edge bomb. We all spread out except the warrior who saw a nec/ra laying the edge and he quickly ran up and destroyed the spirit the moment it was laid. Shortly followed a number of sacrifices and then we just had to mop up. I guess we were just lucky that we took the spirit down as soon as it went up or we are lucky enough to have a warrior who is on the ball. However you look at it, without the spirit and without everyone being in its range, the build breaks horribly.

i figured out edge's range

the thing is the size of your compass. that's crazy eoe dmg that cannot be reduced.

r/mes with mantra of resolve
rest of your party a primary and everyone else 2nd mes. all of you bring 5 sup runes or bring life to about 150 (your choice).
don't forget your mark of protection.

the ranger cannot be interrupted now. 1 cast of less than 2 seconds from fast casting Illusion of Weakness. gg

if you want to make this faster just go with mes/ele. glyph of sac the illusion of weakness. that's an instant kill as soon as eoe hits.

saw this take out 3 other teams at one time

Actually the range of a spirit is approximately twice the range of your aggro bubble. Basically, its not the size of the entire radar, its somewhat less. However, for some reason, even if the spirit does not appear in the top left (or wherever you put those icons), you still take EoE damage. I suspect it has to do with the fact that if someone else is in range of the spirit he deals damage to everyone in his own...? I'm not sure.

alexcave · Nov 30, 2005, 02:32 PM // 14:32

Try this at some time.....one person in radar of edge...another in radar of that person...etc until you are spread all across the entire map and guess what?

Edge still kills.....the way it chains along people is pathetic...it should just be a single area of effect and not a chained area.

Anet pls nerf this along with iway in the next update.

Yichi · Nov 30, 2005, 03:33 PM // 15:33

Weve won halls while goofing off with edge bomb. was quite fun. i love running builds like that. granted its simple and dumb half the time, but its fun to watch everything just go splat in like 1/2 a second

it does have an area of affect. why do you think that when someone sees that its an edge bomb, everyone spreads out or someone stays back.......

and for gods sake, just because you cant beat it, dont start bitching for a nerf of something else. why dont we just go back to the old days where we had 2 white lines bouncing a ball back and fourth. oh wait i moved my stick faster. NERF!!!!11

thats hilarious, some ppl do want a "nerf" (man i hate that word more than noob) to fast. Some ppl just dont want to take the time to LEARN (gain more skill) how to do beat certain things.

btw the movie could be alot smaller for ppl to dl, u have your name at the end for minutes.

Edgebomb is easy to setup and easy to counter, yet unprepared teams get owned by it within seconds. But go and try Edgebomb against a guild in the rankings. You won't really see them fail against an Edgebomb.

Basically there are too many very easy counters to this.

Counter 1) Kill the Spirit.
The spirit takes 5 seconds to place and has a somewhat long recharge. Most if not all edgebomb teams don't plan ahead for the case they get interrupted or the spirit dies.

Counter 2) Spread your Team.
Actually EOE DOES have a range unlike some folks wanted to state here. And it is not that much of a range as well. Just spread a bit and at most, two or three of your members will drop like flies while on the other team there probably is just one person left.

Counter 3) Mark of Protection
Bam, immunity anyone?

Edgebomb is just a funny way to mess with PVP and it is a lot of fun as well. Try it once and you'll see. Many swearings flying your way.

Frost_ · Nov 30, 2005, 11:02 PM // 23:02

we took out a few good guilds, notice how theres not 1 necro in the party so its not that easy to counter, we went up against a team twice they knew we were edge and we still won

we made it to halls and took out holding team so red could win for fun

no way this should be nerfed. it doesn't win GvG. it doesn't consistantly win HoH. its great for faction farming but that's about it. you might win halls every now and then but not like other fotm used to.

yesitsrob · Dec 01, 2005, 12:37 AM // 00:37

There seems to be an increase in the number of EoE bombs recently - in the tombs today we came up against a pretty good one, as soon as the edge of extinction was up they took about 1 - 2 seconds to do the damage. Quite quick, they were a guild in the top 100 - cannot remember the name

The last time we beat a necro bomb was quite hilarious - as the necros continued to sacrifice themselves even though the EoE wasn't active

It does appear to be quite an effective faction farmer, since when we lose against it... it's a quick loss
