Default discordway or sabway which do you prefer..why?

hi all this thread is just to see who likes which one over the other.
i personally favor sabway for my warrior. i havent set up either sabway nor discordway on any other characters so i'm judging this completely from my warriors aspect. it just seems like nomatter where i go with this team build i can own.

but which do you prefer and why? thanks

Well, since I mainly run 2 energy pip characters, and my only choices are Discordway and Sabway, I'll run Sabway. Hell, even if I'm on a caster I'll run Sabway because it requires less effort on my part and you still roll PVE. Regardless, I generally use prefer a D/N Orders hero, a SoH Smite Hero, and a WE Axe hero if I'm using them.

I currently prefer Arkfenway. Has 2 copies of discord, takes NO damage, and can blast through zones as fast as any other build.

If you have such an extensive knowledge of Guild Wars why are you even having to look at wiki in the first place?way to contradict yourself buddy...

Back on topic , like Elementer Masta said i prefer to use a modified version of sabway , you blast through the game with minimal effort although i have to admit if your going with a friend you may want to try arkfenway as mentioned above,the quote ''hot knife through butter'' comes to mind with that build :P

People aren't underestimating ritualist heroes. The fact is, necro heroes will always do a rit's job better than the rit can, because of soul reaping.

But back on topic, I prefer Sabway over discordway because without an AP caller, sabway always seems to do more damage for me. Plus you can run a spear-chucking mesmer for all sabway cares, it'll still steamroll PvE.

16splinter says hi

I normally run, channeling rit, mm with heavy prots, and then a mesmer with some utility for whatever I am facing. I also have a prot monk thats sees a decent bit of use. I also use a curses and blood necro lines quite often.

Physical class? Sabway
Caster Class (With needed PvE skills)? Discordway

Hope that simplifies things...

As I'm melee, I like sabway more, modified sabway ofcourse.. but on a caster..I also bring sabway for the most part, coz imo the AP build is just boring.

Sabway is already loaded onto my necros' bars. Why change? That's effort and PvE is not about effort.

Discord usually when I vanq but I go arkfenway when I get someone who has the two rit heroes that no one ever seems to have :/. Then we do our 4 rit/2 nec combo to steamroll while me and the other human c-space everything XD. Sabway imo, doesn't have the pew pew potential that discord/arkfenway really shine with.

Discord.

Massive damage can be a good defense.

Sabway, discordway, arkenway are all one of the finest builds. I cant see why people insist of comparing apples with oranges.

Having achieved most of the title grinding via sabway (got the titles but not proud at all), I perfer to run an assortment of heros with my own "crappy builds" and if it manages to bail me through the mission i feel ever more satisfied than being a copy cat that thinks he is "leet".

Theres a 1 man version. It's like Discord; it's runnable and works perfectly with only one person but you can get a lot more out of it with another dude + heroes.

@OP, on physicals, I'll be using ArkFenway, on casters I tend to do whatever I feel like at the time.
