my ass, i seen more monk teams die in Ra cause they're think one monk solves all than any other team.
Conclusion: with noobs, even with rank 1 monks they don't last long.
I truly love RA

This has two uber fun uses:
1) You sac yourself but res from your urn! Do it over and over and ping 'My health is 1 of 1' over and over to your team-mates for a priceless reaction.
2) Even more fun is if a party member dies. You res them with death pact signet, and then, urm, SAC! You get two deaths for the price of one!!!
Uber HAXXXXX!!!
Chicken Ftw
Saccing out was only really fun pre-EoE nerf using EoE bomb against unwary teams in tombs. Later in AB as well with the non-res'ing glitch: Get 3 friends, drop EoE and have 3 of you sac out before match begins, 4th uses res, sac again, res, sac again, boom your entire team dies. Gates finally opened, your team was stuck dead, other team capped all the points unopposed. Confusion/ragequitting abound.

Nooooes, I read death pact signet wrong. It doesnt kill your ressed ally when you die Sob

RA has a timer now, after it expires the other team would just win. So tanking sux now, so Sac way = the new invincible tank.
The 1hp res is just plain hilarity though. I <3 it.
O.o Enchant yourself with dwaynas sorrow to heal your party o.O

yeah but if both teams have their members alive it's a draw. So it's not that bad..

The thing is though when I usually play a serious monk build, I get 10 consecs anyway. I never get 10 consecs playing anything else. Boredom in RA blows.
Chronos the Defiler
then try and make a monk tanker like i am....this is what i got so far:
[skill]Protective Spirit[/skill][skill]Life Sheath[/skill][skill]Lively was Naomei[/skill][skill]Spirit Light[/skill][skill]mending[/skill][skill]Restful Breeze[/skill][skill]remove hex[/skill][skill]death pact signet[/skill]
It will certainly piss your team off though :/
Edit:ARGH for some reason Spirit light doesn't sac health when your holding Lively...

I have fun playing RA for 1-2 games until I get tired of seeing warriors with meteor shower or monks
with hammer bash.

I do a strength of honour / Judges insight Mo/A, but yea, I still get ganked. Im gonna try it again now after my third dishonour of the day wears off.
[skill]golden phoenix strike[/skill][skill]death blossom[/skill][skill]moebius strike[/skill][skill]golden lotus strike[/skill][skill]symbol of wrath[/skill][skill]kirin's wrath[/skill][skill]judge's insight[/skill][skill]strength of honor[/skill]
I use Zealous daggers with +5 armor. You only have 2 regen but Golden Lotus Strike gets you energy.

[skill]Signet of Judgment[/skill][skill]Bane Signet[/skill][skill]Purge Signet[/skill][skill]Resurrection Signet[/skill][skill]Signet of Rage[/skill] and either [skill]Signet of Rejuvenation[/skill], [skill]Signet of Devotion[/skill] or [skill]Healing Signet[/skill] with . I had fun with that, especially when I was the only Monk on the team, and I won 3 in a row with that crap :P

i like RA.its fast, and its easy to get 5-10 wins as long as you and at least one other person knows how to play.
to the guy saying you NEED a monk for 5-10 wins, i've had 32 consec wins with 3 wars and a paragon, and none of us could heal each other (paragon was command/spear). i've had tons of other gpoints made without monks or rits at all. .... so nyah

Oh yea, signet smite with mantra of inscriptions, and inverse wammo just for a laugh are fun too.

I went in with frenzy/heal sig and ham-storm.

Eviscerate as part of a shock axe build = /respect
I run into scads of them, and they're a handful.

RA is a double-edged sword for me, I like it and hate it. I like it because its a place to see what other people are playing, I hate it because everytime I join, one member of my team doesnt make it through the load screen.

or they they are not but they should be. So much fun...

RA is for when I'm REALLY bored..
I usually run a Devastating Hammer build..
Devastating -> Crushing -> Heavy -> Bull's. People get frustrated when they're kded three times in a row..
I've had warriors call me a noob for running a hammer. You know, those warriors that spam Power Attack..

dishonor is FTL.
ra is ok when u only have a small amt of time.

not all though. Dunno, if it's just the american districts, but it used to be when i play at night, 8 out of 10 matches i lose cause some nub cakes decided that without a monk, we're dead for sure. Dishonor kept that from happening.
But it's a pain in the ass when your whole team dies, and some nub decided to lengthen the match by a few pointless seconds. it just ticks me off.

Power attack would be cool if it weren't just a body blow for 5 energy instead of 7 adrenaline. I usually have an easier time getting adrenaline than I do energy, especially with the way I spam frenzy and how little I tend to use my zealous mod.

"no monk? kthnxbai"
iriyabran
when i started playing my second account i chose to use monk but since there was barely anything unlocked my team died most of the time
i left a few times after all people were dead instead waiting for the contdown timer till return to outpost and after few games i got dishonoured
it was kind og irritating
but i enjoy RA somehow
and if they fix the sync i will enjoy it even more
it's ment to be random after all

Also the whole no-healer thing was fixed when the added the Hero Battles maps to RA. Lots of people hated them but I loved them since it's not just a straight-on killfest and movement actually became important. Then they were removed and RA became the boring slugfest that it currently is.

RA is how people kick back on GW.
Its a simple matter of sticking 8 skills on your skillbar, entering, and seeing what you can do.
Yup, sometimes you will die. Sometimes you will win. Thats life.

But i personally they need to up the drop rate a bit lol, or make it 3k faction a piece for the keys. =D
bhavv
Double faction arena events are going to be a lot more popular now with the zaishen chest, thats for sure. The problem is that when I try to play a serious build, most of the time the rest of my team is a joke. And since I cant rage quit on mending wammos anymore I cant be bothered taking RA seriously.
