why would you wild blow a monk? Last i remembered the standered Mo/Mes didnt run any stances, just hitting them would suffice.
Unless you wanna score a cool crit to make u a 1337 iway warrior.

o when i said make claim resource a signet i meant make it 0 energy to cast

I've also tried the -3 fear me (8 tactics breakpoint) and found that to be not as efficient, it's better on other maps but at halls you'll want -4 fear me. Some members of our group runs sword on the wars so they might be running 13tac/14 sword/9 str setup but in general we go with 13/13/11.

Focus swapping is tricky vs fear me spam. The e-denial comes constantly around you and in small packets.

do you really think the regen increase is going to make much a difference?

Wild Blow can't be blocked/evaded, that way you make sure you remove an enchant through wards.

1) if your crew is all using pve setups, have them get a second helm so that way they can switch to weaponmastery helms on non altar maps, and the tactics on altar maps.

2)it does indeed come in small packets constantly, but I just stay on my low energy set (-2 enchanted shield) then when that's drained, alternate between sets to avoid fear me as much as possible. The good news, however, is that a lot of players in HA don't have focus swaps.

Yeah I already use sup/minor swaps on my helms but more to counter spike/DP. That and plus I over-extend alot. I know for the charge/wb guy 13 tactics is very handy since it also provides longer charge duration, for the other wars it comes down to personal preference. Some members like -3 fear me but personally I rather run -4. Axe damage is nice and lets you pressure 1 single target. I position myself so that whenever I use fear me it'll hit atleast 3 people, so we're comparing a -9 energy denial vs -12 here. Typically we end up with a mixture of 13 tactics and 8 tactics anyways.

1) As others have said, 80% of all balanced teams right now runs the FOTY (I don't think the setup has changed much for a VERY long time) setup of WOH, RC, SB/infuse backline with 1 warder. WB is to get the ageis off you (since it can't be blocked/evaded) so the wars can smack u a few more times before OOA runs out and clean channeling off you.

2) Some balanced teams these days run distortion.

3) If you look at my nightfall mods you'll realize why I put in soldier's strike.

It has more to do with -3 vs -4 fear me and longer rush duration than the iway regen.

audioaxes · Oct 01, 2006, 03:06 AM // 03:06

that is still silly just drop strength to 4 and bring axe to 16

Consider putting sun and moon slash on the charge war maybe

Just an update but a modified version of this build also works in 6 man teams. We've won halls about 100 times with it since it went to the 6 man format.

- Before some jerk comes in here and post "you must play during scrub hours, blah blah IWAY hate, blah blah blah ignorant bullshit." Every hour is scrub hour, especially the hours that YOU play on. You can thank ANET for that
