AB is going down hill.

Did you even stop to think before posting this post ? Yes i did stop to think thats why i made this post, AB used to be full of the big guilds from cavalon, HzH, Altrumm and Aurios now its mainly people who think warrior monks are invulnerable, i rather earning my faction in AB as it is more fun but i'm proberly going to start doing a HA thing by asking for certain rank of luxon for me so i can actually get 10k faction in inder 5 hours.
Also i agree with more reward idea, maybe make it more per kill but the winning reward is fine.

Would a "noob" be someone who just uses very un-conventional builds? No, but you have to UNDERSTAND the game you are playing, or the build is almost guaranteed to be terrible. Few people who ab know how to play Guild Wars. Its even worse than ra.




With that said, its been like that for as long as i can remember.

I have a question: When was AB ever going uphill? For the very few seconds immediately before it was first shown to the community, back in the FPE. After that, it's been in a constant state of degeneration.

Put Spoil Victor on your skillbar, cast, hilarity ensues. SV, and for that matter SS, are both pretty fail skills to use in ab. The only necro elite that I think works decently (that means against players with half a brain) is Corrupt Enchantments. Overall, however, I think necros in general are pretty fail for ab.

As far as ab going downhill, I'll repeat what someone else mentioned, it serves it's purpose. Also, it's where I go when I feel like loling at other people's builds.

I believe he's refering to the fact most people in AB will still perform actions dispite having the hex on them, resulting in a foolish death.

As long as only 2 people on the opposing team can be expected to have a decent level of insight, Necros are Teh Shizzite. Not to mention lag spikes are ftw.

Your second remark is the very reason I like AB so much. It offers the opportunity to try out your own goofy builds and see stuff happen like Mirrored Stance-Frenzy. RA used to be like this as well. Sadly, people stopped experimenting there.

AB feels a bit like RA. Very randomized, even though one can compose teams like in TA and such. Like RA, the fact that a lot of unskilled players take part has caused it its reputation. Now if teams could also be pit against each other based on their Glad rank/Friend track (eg it's more likely we get to fight with 12 decent people on both sides) I'm sure what would ensue would be a highly tactical, quick-paced, and gruelling battle.
