Curse

Tainek · Nov 08, 2006, 12:03 AM // 00:03

Well after a few gvg wins today, we were left with 5 members, and about half an hour to burn, we decided to run somthing silly just to relax and have a laugh

we've run IWAY in TA many times (just 4 iway warriors) with a lot of success, farmed much Faction and Glad points, and somebody said on Vent "hey, Lets Run 6 man IWAY in HA!"

It sounded absololutly hilarious, so we made a D/N Orders, and 5 Iway Warriors, and Set into HA, expecting to wipe in seconds

Well amazingly, IWAY Still works Perfectly, it does its intended purpose (To fame farm the first few maps) perfectly

the only team we met that could counter us 1v1 was R/P Spikes with bonders, apart from that we massacred 8/10 teams (the two being ranger teams)

So for all who say IWAY is gone forever, its actually amazing at farming the current Meta In HA

(IWAY Farming the new FoTM, what the hell is the world coming to?!)

Does it Prove Skill? No, Is it fun? Oh Hell Yes, i havent laughed so hard in a long time

So IWAY isnt dead :P

(and for all you flamers, we only run iway when we feel like relaxing and having a giggle, we usually run balanced builds, so we arnt one trick Pony IWAY Nubs, Mkay?)

LoL with a hero orders none the less

I saw IWAY in halls the other day. Didn't hold, but it still got there.

But to be honest, I think that's more of a testament to the lack of compition in HA than it is to the build. You have 5/6 real players and that's about 4 more than every other team you face in HA. That right there gives you a 75% better chance to win.

Well when it didn't completely dominate PuGs then it was dead enough for me.

nice result. But with no monk whatsoever how did u keep ur ghostly alive? Rangerspike of SB can kill ur ghostly in seconds, you have almost no interupt, and very little holding power. Very impressive that u won.

Halls is loaded with Searing flames and other AoE Atm, so we sent in the pets to get massacred on the alter, then sat shooting our longbows at the holding teams monk (with orders and vamp bows, was about 25 ish damage a hit) putting pressure on them, the moment that team began to crack (which the will) we did the same to the other team, then at 1:20 we rushed in, neither team could handle 5 Iway Warriors with orders In permenant +6 regen and IAS, and they snapped in moments

but IWAY Always was crap on the Alter, its a fame farming build, for which purpose it still does well at

you wont go far if you run iway to relax and have a giggle. you'll just be another fame farming group.

Alleji · Nov 08, 2006, 05:30 PM // 17:30

Well, hey. Wammos with mending can own PvE. You owned PvHench with +6 regen instead of +3. Grats?

Implying that IWAY can be something other than a fame-farming group? Please.

Lord Mendes · Nov 08, 2006, 06:36 PM // 18:36

wow, im so surprised warriors can still cause pressure and kill things...

fame farming is just beating noob teams in 1-3 maps and resigning when you think you cant beat the other team with great build.

if you beat noob teams, good teams, impossible teams to beat and win HoH with a zero defense build, can you call it fame farming still?

I Brother Bloood I · Nov 08, 2006, 07:52 PM // 19:52

I think u just need to give up iway.

NeHoMaR · Nov 08, 2006, 11:26 PM // 23:26

IWAY is not dead, just now is harder to play (a IWAY), and hard things are not popular. Searing Flames is a lot easier now for fame farm.

why give it up? we still get laughs and giggles, and can get a couple of fame playing drunk (correction, playing so drunk i fell up the stairs on the way to bed)

we dont want fame for the emotes or finding pugs anyways (We GvG Together, We HA together), its just nice to raise the faction cap For long periods of gvg

the point of the thread is IWAY still serves its original purpose (and its still a laugh to run)

phasola · Nov 08, 2006, 11:33 PM // 23:33

Something as good as IWAY can never die !

Bowstring Badass · Nov 08, 2006, 11:56 PM // 23:56

IWAY is not dead during the 6man event before the 6man ha permanent update me and a few guildies thought why not run IWAY we ran 4 IWAY wars an OoA nec and a modified water ballon E/Mo worked fine untill we faced a non noob PuG group.

shardfenix · Nov 09, 2006, 03:42 AM // 03:42

Why the f*** can't you let go of a year-old build that's sucked from the very beginning? Iway got good for a time, now it sucks again. Let it go and play a real build.

Ronin Rangerin · Nov 09, 2006, 06:00 AM // 06:00

lol, seriously dude youre so sensitive about iway. Yunas ele too. Anytime someone speaks of iway in a remotely negative tone both of you like leap to its rescue and make a big thing of it.

Let it go

shardfenix · Nov 09, 2006, 07:27 AM // 07:27

I'm disappointed that humans can cling to something so desperately, no matter how bad it is. Is iway an addiction to you? Do you have withdrawls when you play a build requiring the press of more than 2 buttons? Do you have a panic attack when you see your only ally is a ghostly hero and not 4 pets? Have you even looked at what healing seed is? Or a monk for that matter?
[skill]Healing Seed[/skill]
You do realize you'd have a better chance getting fame by stuffing 6 random classes with 7 random skills each on the same team. The worst thing about IWAY, now that HA is 6-man, is that you have no offense. You need an OoP necro and an OoA necro to even stand a chance of winning, that leaves 4 morons running around aimlessly tapping the c button as much as possible until by some fluke they all attack the same target once. Oh, wait, that won't work...

Iway is dead. Play it if you want, it's just free fame for the henchway teams.

Wow, sombody is touchy, did IWAY Kill your dog and rape your sister?

I Suggest you read My post PROPERLY, you might find this line:

Quote:

(and for all you flamers, we only run iway when we feel like relaxing and having a giggle, we usually run balanced builds, so we arnt one trick Pony IWAY Nubs, Mkay?)

IF you actually payed ANY attention, you'd see that the Dervish is orders

And i have played a monk in GvG for almost every night for a year, dont tell me About monking fool

IWAY not having any offense? then explain to me why with the exception of a bonder R-Spike team (3 monks, 3 rangers, weakest spike ive ever seen tbk) we Rolled, no sorry , Rolled Every team we met in under 2 Mins

The whole point is that Henchway teams are free fame for IWAY, Hero's and hench will kill the pets when you send them, gg.

I never said it was a Good build, i simply stated it still works for its original purpose (Farming fame) , and its still hilarious fun to play drunk

Shard Fenix, Read my post before you Reply sharply, it makes you look like less of a Tard, Mkay?

Some math for the interested:

Assuming all pets are dead

Perma 25% Attack Boost, and orders makes for about 50 ish DPS a warrior, or 250 Overall DPS

Lets say a monk in HA uses all 3/4 Sec Spells, he can cast every 1.5 Seconds (3/4 cast, .75 after cast) , and assume its 130 Heal per 5 energy (with DF), if he Uses his heals constantly, he will heal for about 85 HPS , but he will also spend 5 Energy Every 1.5 Seconds, only regaining about 2

if he loses 3 energy every 1.5 seconds, he'll be out of energy in aproximatly 30 Seconds

If you have one warrior on each monk, and the other 3 on other targets (usually Eles/Mesmers) then prot is less effective, and the pressure is spread. the team cant just kite us, they have to cast, sig of devotion wont do jack, i'll out dps by sitting on your behind hacking you up

250 DPS isnt all that scary on its own, but with 5 Copies of Evis/Exc it is Hella Scary, we co-ord and all unload at once on different targets

The Team Crumbles, atm only Hyper Defensive teams have any chance

No Offense my ass, your an idiot

suiraCLAW · Nov 09, 2006, 07:07 PM // 19:07

Quite offtopic, but you may want to try swelerting heat trapper (= even more evis/exec combo's!) + 4 iway warriors

...

@shardfenix, did you know that guild wars is just a computer game? It's not because iway will never become a pug build again that nobody may run it...

PS: I did NOT say that iway is a good build.

Bugeater · Nov 09, 2006, 07:46 PM // 19:46

O.M.G. How dare you run a modification to a build that everyone was running months ago and has since abandoned. Even more so, how dare you post about having fun in the PvP forums. Everyone knows that there is no place for fun in competative PvP. Running a build that you know isn't great just for fun is a blasphemy for which you should eternally burn.
To further prove my point here are some cool mouse-overs of skills that will also decimate your crapfully crappy team:
[skill]Spirit of Failure[/skill]+[skill]Price of Failure[/skill]
[skill]Shadow of Fear[/skill]
and
[skill]Spoil Victor[/skill]
