Curse

Forgive me if this is in the wrong forum

Anyway, I am not sure on what the build for pokeway is. I have always wanted to try it but never knew what skills were required.

From what I gathered 7 Monk/Rangers are used and a Necro/Monk

Monk/Ranger
Bane Signet
Signet of Judgement
Balthazar' Aura
Banish
Smite Hex
Serpent's Quickness
Charm Animal
Res

Would the other monks be required and different skills? All I can think of is a Monk bringing Revive Animal to res all the pets.

Thanks in advance

les grosbouliuex or however they spelled their name ran it near that:

7 mo/r, 1 n/mo
1 or 2 monks would have serpents quickness, 1 had.. pred, 1 had frozen, 1 had.. emm.. I can't even remember, I wrote it down a while ag-

I guess I ripped it out of my notepad.

so, some # of spirits spread among them, and then the necro had heal party, heal other, heal area, putrid explosion, tainted flesh, well of the profane, res.. not sure of rest.

ouch, that build would have mass damage.
But where did you think up the name 'pokeway'? lol

Thank you very much for the help

Is Balth Aura cast on your pet / a certain pet / certain char or yourself?

pet, then the pet chases enemies, i had a guildie months ago who referred to it as pokeway

Juicey Shake · Sep 20, 2006, 12:31 AM // 00:31

it's called pokeway because that's the name that had been made for it? GB always rolled as "Pokeway XXXX" .. was pretty funny watching, as gimmick builds always ar.

I believe it came from Pokémon actually ^_^ The reasoning being that the monk's pet acted somewhat like a pocket monster doing its master's bidding

And these days any team build for HA generally tends to get "way" slapped on the end of it, thus Pokeway (maybe it should be Pokéway) was born.

Because it's a shitty build that's good for a few laughs but bad at everything else.

Because it really isn't very good. Kite the pets until BA wears off and then kill the monks, gg. That's not that it doesn't win, but it's not all that hard for an organised team to beat.

i cant see how he can kill a good team with that build.

spread ,kite most important kill fast.

a warrior probably kill the team alone in less then 2 minute

add some ele or some other damage dealing and in less then 1 minute they are dead.

Whoa, I've been doing the almost same thing for months...Except I am R/Mo and when I cast aura on pet, I use call of haste for unavoidable damage.

And Judges Insight so he attacks more with the buff.

That just sounds like a bad build.

The build is used basically for fun/ quick fame u can beat a bad team in about 30 seconds with the amount of dmg.. If the team can survious the first 1/2 mins then that team wil proberly win

SmiteBall looks alot like it.. 7 mo/r, 1 ele/mo warder.
Monks have Sig o J, banish, spear of light, healing spring, heal area, *spirit*(qz, nr, infuse, etc), symbol of wrath (or kirins), res sig.

attribs:
16 smite,
11 heal,
8 ws

Warder brings ward of melee, stability (v important!), elem, and could join spikes with obsi flame.

Lol, thats what we faced yesterday! Was funny to fight against with a pug-team. Too bad for them that this pug team consisted if meteor shower eles, hexers and no warriors

(I ran FoC and desecrate: lovely sight when casted on the smite ball). I'll give it a go though, just to see how it is played. I'll whisp you soon
