Hey, i havent been able to get on gw for the past 2-3 weeks and i was curious as to what the meta is like. Last i played it was heroway, heroway, heroway, heroway. Do you see more splits nowadays or is it still primarially an 8v8 environment?

Also, why do i see everyone screaming for a Mirror of Ice nerf...the extra 30 or so damage per water hex doesnt seem to be that significant, am i missing a build that abuses the hell out of it?

Kappa spike. FC mesmers abuse the shit outta FC to spam water hexes on a single target, even after an infuse things die.

It's still heroway, at least during American gvg times therefor dont run condi or hex. Meta wise for euro from what I've seen, best to overload on spamable shutdown hexes and rape some face. Tons of options lately to abuse that no1 builds for/ or can for that matter, panic mes, buffed foul feast+SOH shitters+pain of disenchant, dual VOR templates, water spam hex, mix with an axe frontline+some cripslash and u can pressure without the condi's.

Pardon?
The meta in euro times is mainly some form of a balanced build with 2 war(hammer+axe) 1 ranger 1 me/e 1 me/rit and a rit runner. You of course get dual ranger builds quite some and the occasional kappa spike.

Cant really say theres a meta for the ladder, tends to just be sub 1k guilds playing random crap.

For AT's i think the latest gimmic to find its way into play is dual turret rangers or kappa spike if your extremely bad.

Nothing wrong with the occasional Kappa spike

heroway is pretty common, but the new version is actually stronger than some of the old versions. Especially if you get a hero battler at the helm of the heroes.
