I saw Mistral Edge running heroway this afternoon. They were rolling teams in minutes.

we'll have to wait a see, but i personally see hexes making a very strong comeback.

Of course hexes and pressure builds are on the rise, they nerfed aegis(glyph),WYS, shields up,ward melee, got rid of VIO, didn;t touch LOD, made heal party 2 sec, made fire ele splitters less effective. Got rid of sins except the AOD flavour, buffed the necro big time, what would you run?

Note to Andrew!, did I mention turret rangers are the shiet?

Yeah rank 300 guilds. What's new? r300 guilds roll other r300 guilds with heroway too.

This "turret ranger" shit is starting to look dangerously lame.

Syntonic · Mar 08, 2008, 08:27 AM // 08:27

Glyph of renewal+Shame/Diversion camping is still rather lame. Don't really see it in higher tiered GvG matches yet (observer mode) so could be just my guild that found it utterly annoying to play against.

C2K · Mar 08, 2008, 11:13 AM // 11:13

Turret Rangers are even more "123" than sins ever were. As long as you keep up your prep and use Prep shot, button mash ftw.

I Angra I · Mar 08, 2008, 11:39 AM // 11:39

Seems like so far there's a lot of generally "balanced" pressure builds with a decent amount of conditions in them.

ps I hate Wail of Doom necros.

Thing about BSpike with WoD is that if you're spiking the infuser and he gets wail on him its gg... and its not incredibly easy to stop bspike with 4 pips of energy regen, let alone preveiling..

WoD can do with a slight nerf though...

moriz · Mar 08, 2008, 08:20 PM // 20:20

the fast bow attacks need to have aftercast.

if WoD is gonna keep its current stats, it needs to cause exaustion. otherwise, people are not going to use it as a tactical shutdown skill, and just spam it every time it recharges.

No, I mean, if someone is getting spiked, and the infuser has WoD on him, he can cast straight through it with Infuse and still heal for 300hp to stop the spike.

The skill really isn't good enough to warrant exhaustion. Timing is powerful for the skill (so spamming isn't utilizing it very well), and the tactical decision-making is more about who to use it on, not how often it's cast.

horseradish · Mar 08, 2008, 09:34 PM // 21:34

I agree. WoD is elite, that it's in a relatively poor skill line, and that it needs a high investment in the skill line.

I'd prefer Gale.

Riotgear · Mar 08, 2008, 11:05 PM // 23:05

Damage bow attacks have about as much depth as Flare. Unfortunately, in this case, they also cast a lot faster, go a lot farther, and miss a lot less.

Burton2000 · Mar 08, 2008, 11:27 PM // 23:27

And can do a hell of a lot more damage than flare does.

romO · Mar 08, 2008, 11:34 PM // 23:34

I just wanted to come here to introduce the term 'dualod'.

Have a nice day.

yes but if the bspike had WoD do you thnk they'd bother using it on the infuser if they aint spiking him? it'd just be used to kill infuser

Theres a few guilds using it but its not really as good as it looks, [apr] can run it really well but most guilds fail to get the daze to stick.
