Default HMMMM how to beat VIM....?

Got bored so i thought id do a bit of r6+ iway.
Anyways we come across a deccent r6+ VIM team that we simpyl couldnt beat, we tried evevrything; metoer shower + pets + purtrid and they still survived...
So we stood back for about 20 seconds to think this over, then i thought 'EOE BOMB FTW'.
So we set spirits, i ran outa eoe and on the count of 3 evevry1 ran in and died - like i said, ' EOE BOMB FTW'

must've been a pretty crappy vimway team then.

not that they don't all suck, but a half decent one would maintain at least 1 healing spring constantly.

lol thats pretty funny. when i run iway we just bring in a martyr trapper who martyrs ever time it recharges against vim. no conditions = no energy or health. but i have to try this =).

The trouble with HS is that it is a time thing. An E-bomb can run its full course in less than the time (2 seconds I think for HS) between heals. 7x eoe = 350 dmg so at least one of them must have not been at full health when it happened.

their health had to be a bit low, most iways run their eoe at 40, so 6x40 would be 240. [this is assuming the igayer dropped before they bombed out and they had a man back to survive the bomb]

Why did you not just use your bows to drain their energy instead? And a Vim team loosing to iway cant be "decent"

The trick to VIM groups is just stand back and wand them. They can't run mantra of resolve so they are subject to being interrupted, wand them enough and no traps, and then just send in 1-2 guy(s) to start killing them. So long as at least one person is wanding each trapper, they will go down fast, since they do little damage if they can't stack the traps up.

How long until people start talking about VIM should be nerfed?

Better question would be what does VIM stand for?
