"Elitist" people will run what they always ran: buffed physicals.

Other will probably revert to tankway with perma assatank, bonder, nukers, poure heal monk and that kind of s.

Buffed physicals is very likely to become meta in fow and slavers, uw will propably be something with assas or eles or perhaps tank 'n spank. But I dont think that will be possible in doa, no matter how " elitist " you are.

Then you are doing it wrong, it will propably be inpossible to pug it HM, but if you got a decent guild or organise a decent pug filled with ppl from your friends list, not impossible. Although 3 hour full runs, will not be possible anymore.

Cryway and the original obby tank and SF eles I've seen form up again.

Btw I pugged right after the update, FoW NM, "We can't kill the monk without Ursan!" <- one of the two dervish on our team, also had a sin, ele, and yea....gg.

Why do I monk again x.x

for people that want to continue using Ursan... they could just bring a normal build with Ursan as their elite.

or you could just try to run the builds that worked pre-Ursan....
there was actually a time when there was no Ursan.

It was an Epic fail before Ursan.......just because UB got nerf doesn't change DOA, DOA is the most flawed Elite Area in the GW.

Try this for FOW HM:

Frontline:
2 Ursans (W and P classes with SY).
1 Volfen (Dervish or Sin with blocks + holy attacks)

Midline:
1 Raven (preferably an ele for mob control for crippling running foes) + splinter for giving frontline damage.

Backline:
1 SS necro with enfeebling blood, mark of pain, meekness (or enfeebling blood) and reckless haste.
1 Explosive VoR death necro or mesmer or again with splinter.
(necros should also have a BR support).

Monks:
2 Hbs, or UAs


Objectives:
Ursan+Volfen attack monks only.
Raven attacks beasts + melee only (that move around a lot)
SS+VoR attack all melee.
Monks do their job right.

omg how will we survive without a skill that's only been around for...not that long.
doa is reverting back to the obby tank/4 nukers/bip/3 monk build of yore, with an occasional imbagon thrown in for...some reason.
as for foundry, the old school called for the bip to have a pet, but you're right i don't know how people will utilize that, even in HM.

Then it seems like the best profession for Ursan now would be R/Me. Any other class has a 50% chance of missing Oath Shot, and I don't think there are a lot of rangers that run less than 8 Expertise.

The new builds are going to be splinter barrages with vanguard sniper support. Either that or summonway with added bonus of the vanguard sniper support.

I have a feeling that sniper support is going to be the new standard in a lot of builds as the more copies the more chances to speed up the run considerably.

People act as if there was no way to do anything before ursan. Do it like you used to do it. And for all those people who removed all of their keyboard keys except 1,2,3,C, and Space, too bad. Lean to play a real build.
