I was with my Necro in the HA outpost yesterday and got invited by 7 Warriors to join their IWAY. We won at UW and Fetid, lost at capture points. It was pretty funny because I was expecting a sure fail, but 2 balanced teams lost to it. While the build looks a little unfair, I see no shame in running IWAY or any other gimmick because:

- If you are unranked and try a gimmick/easy build, you get called a noob, but have a chance to win.
- If you are unranked and try to run balance, you get called a noob, get rolled and have next to no chance to win against a ranked/better balanced or a gimmick build.

Seems to be clear why people try some gimmicks/easy to run/PUG builds, because if you are considered a n00b whatever you do, and can't join the slightly better teams to at least LEARN the game, just farm some fame via the most effective method available. That is pretty logical to me.

Granted, those won't teach you the game like playing balance would, we all know that old story, but it can grant some fame (achieving r3+ is a better start than no rank at all), and the builds get players to further maps so they at least learn and get to play in them.

So, sorry guys but no one can be blamed for running these gimmicks when the community is not nice at all towards its newer/lower ranked players.

Nobody cares about Dong and their 'enemies'.
Keep it on topic.

To be on topic. Since GW's has been around, the easy to play 'meta-lame' has existed. People only taking high ranked or whatever, is the reason these builds exist. New or not so great people need a way to get wins without having 'skilled' players around them, so they run easy to pug builds.

It's funny how Defyway has people crying because of all the 'lame' builds low ranked people run, its the easiest to beat imo.

And now the part you've all been waiting for:
  • To defeat any IWAY with 7 warriors and one Necromancer doing orders (or any odd one out) training the Necro whenever it is ressed is your best bet.
  • To defeat Dongway, get your mesmer on the infuser and keep all your pressure on the Paragons. If you can stop a lot of shouts that'll pressure us eventually, but ideally you want to get a spike off on a para ASAP.
  • To defeat an IWAY (or most builds for that matter) using spirits, getting the spirits down before the enemy is usually the way to go.
  • To play IWAY, don't use defy pain - it's not worth your elite. 4 Warriors is plenty, but a small number of soft targets is just asking to get them trained.

People can whine and moan about how lame this build is. And it is. But I must admit, it is tons of fun if you are the one playing it. What can be more fun than warrioring when you aren't taking the brunt of melee hate?

It's currently the best option for unranked pugs. Or aren't they allowed to gain fame when nobody comes up with a better way for them to get into the world of HA?

Come up with something better that you won't hate and complain about and your problem's solved.

Step 1: Snare the N/Rt
Step 2: Kill The N/Rt with a warrior
Step 3: Dump all damage on 1 IWAY Fag

Repeat steps 1-3 untill everything is dead.. tada.
