I'm guessing gear was the guild you were referring to, since they're the only non-top 50 guild that can play rawrspike very well in an 8v8 situation. The difference between rawr and gear, though, is that rawr is much, much better at the defensive split when people decide to split. The ability to actually handle splits is the difference between a top guild and a lower guild. Also, gear's rank doesn't really justify their ability to play that build. They just lose a lot of rating to lower ranked American splitters :P

pretty sure sending back 1 healer at a time is why you lose games and why you sir are terrible

p.s- rawr is still way better than vibe, they never make the same mistake twice
p.p.s- GeAr for gold

A few of us have been playing rawrspike for a bit, when we get people who aren't familiar with the build to play with us it's actually really sad what happens. A lot of people aren't familiar with splitting defensively and scoring kills at the stand / creating separation to make it hard for monks to get to a split you are falling back on. It's really embarrasing when people who aren't familiar with the build are playing with us and we get split on, bad things happen so we have taken some embarrasing losses against dual ranger split guilds =). That being said we still have plenty to work on in terms of splitting, rawrs split really threw us off guard since it was like...RAWR IS SPLITTING HOW2BEET?

I like vibe and the vibe people but i don't think their build will stand up well to Euros in the mAT, I think lingering will beat their build choice. I may be wrong and if they do end up matching well against the lingering balance they will do very well.

I still think they are strong enough for the number one spot, altho sup have the potential to outplay rawr if they make it that far.

u sir, seem to forget the fact that running the same build as your opponent means the match becomes based on skill, so rawr having to split in order to beat us when they are supposed to be the best 8v8 guild, should say something good about us.

but i guess euroland thinks opposite these days
gl in mAT hope we face you

it says that alot of defense creates stalemates and i dont know standing around and beating it at the flag stand gives you a draw so you might as well split get lord damage and force the other team to be more aggressive so they out 8v8'd you without you even knowing

Maybe it did if your guild wasn't ~r300, it says more about rawr than about you guys tbh.

heres the difference between you and rawr:

in the match rawr realized they were sitting there holding their dick doing nothing to win the game, so they got lord damage to finish an otherwise uneventful match.

whereas you are here, after the match and several forum posts later, and you still do not realize that you were sitting there holding your dick doing nothing to win the match.

Should I not put any of the below guilds in my top 8 this month? I have heard from here and other sources that they will not play or do well this month. Any comments on this would be appreciated.

DM, BcS, gg, vE, braQ, BOSS, dp

I was considering using two of the above to fill out two spots on my top 8 which 2?
