I was trying tainted build and can someone please explain to me the count process in Taint Necro this was the build I was using think its right Blood Renewal, Tainted flesh, well of profane, windborne speed, gale putrid explosion, and plaque sending (Didnt know what to use for the last so I just used that) couldnt get past the beginning cause everyone left cause I didnt know the count process someone said 1234 thats it would apperciate if anyone could help me out thank you

Lol. The tainted necro counts down from 3 to 1 or whatever, and runs in first. Meanwhile, if the orders necro isnt a noob, he casts healing breeze and seed on the tainted. Tainted uses gale on the ele to interrupt ward and then uses MS.

Here's a pretty standard build for taint in IWAY: Taint, putrid, well profane, cc, wb, ms, gale, rez sig. (slightly tweakable)

Umm, I'm no IWAYer, but wouldn't using Windbourne Speed on yourself before charging in allow you to gale sooner(aftercast wouldn't be an issue, especialy if you winbourned at 2 on your count...), and thus have a better chance of keeping the ele from getting a ward off?

SlipknotOFA · May 31, 2006, 04:24 AM // 04:24

So I count down from 4-1 right in the beginning run in and cast gale on the ele to inerupt and do i cast it on the other side ele too and speed to run back right im sorry im kinda slow on somethings if i asked in a group they would kick me out in the beginning or do i wait for timer and count down from 4-1????

you join a group that understands the game and knows all you have to know is "gale the ward v melee" and doesnt spaz if you don't follow robotic routines.

I'm not in iwayer myself but tainted necro's are used in dualsmite and sometimes balanced as well (with a different build though). So if you get tired of iway but like playing tainted necro, there are other options.

Basicly, your job is to keep the team tainted fulltime and use a corpsecontrolskill as soon as something (except a spirit or binding ritual) dies.

Regarding gale, it has a 1 second casting time meaning that interupting a spell which is 1 sec or lower is a matter of luck. Furthermore gale can help you to get a warrior of your back.

Since you're a corpsecontroller, always wear bloodstained boots.

The dude that was saying 1234 probably typed something like this

<12 34>
Taint counts

The first set of numbers is for the warriors, warrior 1 and 2 go left and take the left monk, warriors 3 and 4 head right and take the right monk, the taint counts down 3, 2, 1 and everyone goes and has a field day on the zaishen.

Usually in unranked PUG the warder is just warding all day long and it takes a little while to drop those monks, or even worse the warriors all attack one monk while the other one is unpressured and heals the monk that is being attacked.

When everyone knows what they are doing the zaishen drop like flies.

But yeah its tough being the taint I imagine, I only play the warrior roll and even that is frustrating when you see other warriors doing horrible things like running in without the group, fighting on traps, not rezing, the list goes on and on and on so dont feel bad about the rage quitting.

Snype · Jun 01, 2006, 10:47 PM // 22:47

OK heres what you do.

When you get to the zaishens

1. Go as far to the edge with out setting off timer
2. Target the Elementalist without moving
3. Press enter. Type in "go in 3" [enter] 2 [enter] 1[enter]
4. As soon as you say 2, press gale and meteor shower in that order on your skillbar. You will now begin to run to him and then it will gale then cast ms automatically.
5. GET BACK
6. When someone dies, if your low on health use consume corpse. If you are not, use putrid.

Theres my advice : )

It is perfectly senseless to argue how to play against zaishen. Ppl in IWAY have way too much to work on, be4 they consider weakness against Zaishen impt to think abt. Playing it the possibly "best way that u can" doesnt guarantee u a 10% always & it doesnt help u against any other team.Ppl who criticised on ur not counting.... are they that alert in the 1st place?

good luck interrupting the 1 second ward against melee with your 1 second cast gale :/

Cartoonhero · Jun 04, 2006, 02:17 PM // 14:17

I play a tainted in Iway, and the build i normally use is:
tainted flesh
consume corpse
putrid explosion
well of profane
gale
meteor shower
windborne speed
rez
death-16(12+3+1)
fire-9
air-5
soul reaping-9(8+1)

what everyone else has said is basically correct. Your job is to taint everyone and count down from 3,2,1,go. You charge in first and hope the orders nec is smart enough to buff you, galeing and metoershowering the ele(theres only one), hopefully there are 2 warriors on each monk, and things will go down quick. also when you get down to the last one or two zaishen, start looking for rez sigs to gale so you dont get a massive chain rez and make your morale suck. Putrid and profane are the main things you should be controlling corpses with, as they hurt the other team, unless you're being attacked, then use gale to knock the warrior and cc yourself away. The most annoying thing is competing with a fast cas cc mes on the other team, you just have to be alert and use cc or putrid the moment someone dies to beat them. The only way to get better is practice, so now that you know how to do the zaishen you should be able to get that practice, lol. good luck

I think before you trying to argue your senseless points against IWAY you should learn how to type first.

the second ward doesnt come straight away after gale usually so meteor shower should be ready by time of second ward

If your team is smart they will have 4 low level pets with 1 person carrying sprint/revive animal so you have maximum corpse exploitation for Wells and putrid to apply pressure and energy for the necros. I also go with more health over 16 death but that is just fairly users preference.

Also a side tip for you rook taints. Keep taint up on the martyr and the orders and yourself. Everyone else is secondary since they have regen in there build and the martyr can cure.

For the love of god iway trappers suck so much. Defending there necros is key to any hope of the build winning yet so many teams have horrid trappers that try and feet trap. Its called pulling. Make the warriors do there job and do more then mash keys.

Rebirther · Jun 14, 2006, 05:34 AM // 05:34

most iways ive faced against these days dont carry meteor shower, they tend to go the way of malestrom, which to me it seems to works better i guess ... ive missed it on countless occasions... and also because its not as obvious as a big rocks coming down from the sky, personally looking at the two spells now, i think malestrom would probably be better, since you really only need it for aoe interrupt.

Helll is for Heroes · Jun 14, 2006, 05:40 AM // 05:40

maelstrom makes me think of: "rofl ping damage", i dont realise that i dont realise that its actually maelstrom interuptting all my healing spells xD

Actually, it seems to me that IWAY is abandoning the tainted altogether and opting for dual orders.

You know I noticed that too but then I wonder one of the orders would be carrying Tainted Flesh? or No?

No.
