Spirit spam was the only build that allowed players to hold Halls for 50+ consecutive. Without ever losing the altar. The only way that a good spirit spam team lost Halls was when one of its players had to go or they got error 7s before reconnects. I remember my pug recruitment message that included 'must be able to stay for at least 6 hours'.

IWAY made bad players win with ease, but it still didn't allow strings of HoH holds, and most good teams would be equipped to easily beat it.

Guildwars has known many era's over overpowered play. I think the most difficult to play against was the bloodspike holding halls. They just could hold pressure for so long. I remember them holding a good 8+ min altar...

I guess it was Sierra's build. With thumpers, paras and shit. Holding for ages...
Or maybe 8 bonders (but they got RED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GOed up with NR).
And Power's rspike. Nice one indeed.

Since i mostly started playing after the spirit nerf i will say there was no build more overpowered then bloodspike pre-nerf with faction.

wuzzman · Dec 14, 2007, 03:53 PM // 15:53

spirit way? Holding halls? which spirit way is that.............................................. .................................................. ..............................................FoC spike was the most overpowered. SB/RI coming in close second, but it got nerfed before it got foothold in HA.

Jesse · Dec 14, 2007, 04:01 PM // 16:01

original rspike
FoC spike
and spirit spam, (was my first 15 winning streak)

Zui · Dec 15, 2007, 08:24 PM // 20:24

Without question, it was spirit spam.

Actually the double order stuck wasnt the thing most powerfull of old ranger spike.

It was more the fact of a spike ever 5 second. (the double order was used only to spike ghost and warriors) and shield up sucked at the time

Then the other teams sucked. A lot.

Well if you hold for 8 hours you are bound to face at least one good team o.o. Back then anyways.

deluxe · Dec 16, 2007, 03:04 PM // 15:04

Bspike can make bad players win, look at opening poster's guild

They're all bad players, but got owned vs their bloodspike once. And then they try some balanced build and get wiped in 10 seconds. funniest match i've ever played :P

Divinus Stella · Dec 16, 2007, 09:07 PM // 21:07

Sinsplit also helps bad players win :P

Signet of Might was the most powerful.

I dont think spirit spam was great, it certainly wasnt balanced, but hardly blitzed teams.

Abedeus · Dec 16, 2007, 09:30 PM // 21:30

Signet of Ghostly Might. Run to teh Lord, use and win 10 seconds later.

EoE Bomb. Minion Factory, original IWAY/ViMWAY, Blood/FoC Spike.

In pve - Searing Flames + ToF Tank, Spirit Bond (my level 10 monk got to level 20 in 2 hours...), Shield of Absorbtion 55 monks able to tank 20 Ice Imps at once...

Overall I wanted to use more of them instead of just Spirit Bond.

wuzzman · Dec 17, 2007, 05:54 AM // 05:54

sinsplit helped bad players lose games in funny ways ^_^

Yarly · Dec 17, 2007, 09:20 PM // 21:20

Spirit spam.

wuzzman · Dec 17, 2007, 09:24 PM // 21:24

spirit spam helped bad players lose because they refuse to look at the far upper left corner of their screens.
