Changed it up a bit.

I wish i could organize a group good enough to do this but my guild is to small. (edit) still no luck, people are to impatient to get back to their IWAY team.

It's based on EOE bomb but the saccers use Signet of agoney and death nova (keeping bip for any hp managment they may need).

1 Ranger with max EOE and around 200 hp, 1 Resmer with LOD and MOP with high hp, (edit) 6 R/N or N/R saccers with 105 - 200 hp and a pet

Basicly, all necros/Ranger saccers (edit) have death nova on them and there pets, ranger runs in slightly and puts up eoe, necros charge and when they are in range start saccing with sig of agoney (perhaps using vent/TS leader can call SOA to spike it), mesmer echos then puts on mop, then approches slightly to lod when all the necros die, uses echoed MOP, and necros sac again. Ranger has low health so he dies with eoe both times.

There is no defense to this that i can think of because the damage would be overwhelming. You can take most of the other team in the first sac. Second sac and everything is dead.

You have to be quick and well organized. I've tried to get a pick up group to do this but it never works. To many noobish people in HA.

The pets with death nova on them are just a "why the hell not" couldnt hurt, maybe someone will be dumb enough to kill one setting off 6 more nova bombs.

I don't imagine you could hold halls with this at all though, but you could get alot of opposing teams to go "WTF".

Please post critisism.

Death Nova and Tainted Flesh together DO work. Tainted Flesh is Elite, while Death Nova is not. The only question is why bother with Tainted Flesh? There won't be much time for the disease to do that much damage anyways.

Hmm...maybe someone else around that can spam Putrid quickly? Lol seems like overkill. You have the general idea of EoE Bomb, and I'm not sure if it's really modded.

Diluant De Peau · Apr 03, 2006, 04:18 AM // 04:18

This would be a overall poor build in the long run.

The focus is quick death in it...but in order to hold the hall...where eoe used to shine, you have to get there...

Tainted and the other are not a good mix for your time and energy.

I think your problem is if you do happen to get to HoH and get to the alter you won't be able to cap unless you kill off everyone else with EoE then your mesmer rezs you then you finish the other ghosts off with Death Swarm or chill?And then your team *could* make it to HoH,IF your team does sac correctly on the way there.Maybe you should play around with it for a lil while?Ill help ya out on the weekend since spring vacation is coming around soon.

I am familiar with EoE bombs and how to counter them when you come across them. This past weekend though, my team encountered what looked exactly like an IWAY team -- 4 W/R, 2 R, 2 N. My team had 2 copies of Aegis and one copy Martyr, so I ordered my team to press on them to kill their spirits and then the necromancers. EoE is nothing new to IWAY, so the thought of EoE bomb never crossed my mind. Before my team's warriors could even get in range of the spirits to take them down, we had total party wipe from an EoE bomb. Nobody on my team managed to see what sacrafices were being used to cause this.

Has anybody run up against a similiar team? If so, then do you know how they pulled it off?

Blade Rez · Apr 03, 2006, 09:57 PM // 21:57

Prolly trappers with IoW, necros with sacs, w/r on 55hp builds.

w/r with 105

probably with frenzy to compensate.

anyway like all EoE the key is to manage

1) lay down EoE without being int
2) make the sac before EoE be killed
3) make sure there is no frozen soil down
4) make sure there is no Fertile season down
5) make sure LoD dont get interupted

basicly i still have to see a EoE bomb reach the first relic run

The trick to countering an EoE bomb is simple: look at their morale at the beginning of the match. If it is 0, work under the assumption that you ARE facing an EoE team, and prepare accordingly. I'd imagine the 'IWAY' team you faced had warriors with low health that used Frenzy, allowing them to die while the R/me's and the N/E sacced themselves to death.

Thanks Real Roy. Very nice tip.

Solberg the Exiled · Apr 04, 2006, 04:29 PM // 16:29

the beauty of an EoE bomb build is just like one of the above poster said. It is a build that can be hidden amonst other build. For example, (this can only be done with pve characters), we put togethr a regular IWAY team, with pets and everything, except that everyone on the team, except for the ranger that was suppose to live, take a second set of armor that has all sup runes in them. And the warriors take frenzy and necros take sac.

No when killing the unworthies, you can easily put on your regular armor and take them down pretty easily (probably not with a 10% or even 8% moral boost, but nothing that will give it away the build to your opponent)

Now when you go in actually against a team, pull out that other set of armor and switch to an EoE bomb. And the beauty is that the other team will never prepare for it since they don't really see it coming.

That's actually a pretty good idea, though you must have a PvE warrior to b able to do that

I had this EXACT same thing happen to me last night, it took me by complete surprise ... which i'm sure was the idea. Just about the time someone on my team said "they're IWAY" we were all decorating the floor

Sneaky, dastardly ... I like it ... I'd be willing to run it with anyone that wants to give it a try. IGN's are over <---- there.
