Default OP class of the day

Summary of some recurring powerful builds so far
-P/? Fleshwound- when p/n best counter against blindbot so far

-D/P Blindbot- You're either running this or running a counter against this...

-Vor mesmer- No hex removal=gg, arcane thievery luck shut down

-D/? Wounding Spam-Even with decent condition removal options this is a killer on the limited abilities healing of monks.

OP build of the Day-Oct 28
-N/D Bip/withering aura support- Shuts down classes using weapons based on base dmg with weakness. Low recharge on withering prevents stripping the enchant as a good counter. Gives monks energy to spam expensive heals. Uses derv enchantments to stay alive.
Counters:
-Focus fire on BIP
-Disenchant monk
-Bonus dmg

Warrior is always overpowered. Everything else is inferior.

Warrior w/Evis or Sin w/Golden
Monk
Necro w/FF+Resilient or Rit
Ranger w/Conditions or Para w/Cautery

...is my thoughts.

Definitely Paragon today. Fleshwound says hi.

actually, physical overload in general. there isn't much mitigation at the moment - we played w/a, p/w, and d/ and just stomped everything. The only thing to slow us down was n/rt with ff and resilient.

Id say the Necro is the dumbest class today.

Only Death Magic Elite is Order of Undeath.... but not one single Minion Skill to make the Elite have any effect at all (not that it would be much use in 4v4, but still). Instead of the missing Minion skills the necro gets Dark Bond and Feast for the Dead though. Makes 3 skills completely useless and one of them is an Elite.

Get used to skills being useless in this format on certain days.

Definitely not completely useless with Soul Leech and Foul Feast.

Played it a little today. I think teams with a monk healer AND a rit healer are very annoying (and some with a 3rd caster with secondary heal). We managed to beat a few, but the games always took ages.

But yea today physical teams are beats.

Basically. Today's OP'd build is a Cslash Warrior, AE Sin, EDA Derv, and Blight monk. Pretty hard to survive the pressure they can put out with full team of squishies.

Was running it just then; only thing that gave us any trouble was a mirror match, when it comes down to which sin can AE the EDA first. QQ.

Soul leech can be put up your monk 2/3rds of the time, that same necro can also take shadow of fear to heavily reduce melee damage.

I tried loads of combintions and none of tem survived against the better teams, and I'm a decent monk.
