It rolls through any mob in the game with ease.

first off, "sabway" is just a build that people use who can't do things their own way-- originally-- and with something i like to call "skil". "sabway" is like ursan, except in team-buid form. the name "sab-" comes from the guy who "created" if (which he didn't; he just ripped it from a PvP build called "spiritway" and changed a few skills and took credit for it).

anyways, hope i cleared some of that up.

And it does not roll through any mob with ease.

It's based on using a minionbomber for nuking, thereby also generating infinite energy for a curse necro and a healer ritualist-necro. The build completely sputters if you do not have large amounts of exploitable bodies around.
But those who use it tend to simply compensate for the low efficiency of the build in areas like Hells Precipice by using consumables.

It's a good build in many areas, but it's not as uber as some would have you think.

Yeah, sabway is like ursan. That's why it doesn't make a team full of tanks with 86+ AL and 600 hp, vulnerable to hexes and doesn't have a frontliner.

Plus, you don't have to use sabway to get into pve groups. You do have to use ursan ;d

"ursan is like sabway" ... let me rephrase. i meant it as in "it's an overused build that people resort to when they can't use their own skills (assuming they have any to begin with...)"


need anymore clarification?

It works.


Chances are, it works better than whatever you made "originally" (hint: with a small number of skills in this game, someones probably already made the exact same bar as you).

As far as I know, he didn't take credit for the build.

i dont think he took credit for it either
people just associate it with sab cos i think he/she posted it on guru originaly

It's a very forgiving build, as it's self sufficient and the player is optional, meaning it's really hard to screw up.
It'll work (if it's an area with plenty of exploitable bodies) even if the player is a mending wammo who is a bit unclear about when and how to use frenzy and healsig, and who thinks "pull" is something you do to fingers.

EDIT: Although that player should really be playing Ursan instead. Ursan was made for mending wammos with frenzy and healsig who like to gogogo.

.....What?

Oh wait yeah thats right i dont have skills because i choose to use 3 Necro heroes instead of a Monk or Ele. My bad your obviously pro. Apparantly running certain team set ups now counts as "like Ursan".

Anyway to answer Sabway is a team set up of 3 Necro heroes. It is very effective in Hard Mode however like Numa said it is not unstopable.

I love it when people complain about "over used" builds. Chances are thats because it works effectivley and its fun.

Alas I suppose we should all be special and come up with ineffective shite just so we can feel good about ourselves.

If I want to get something done I run effective and reliable builds, if I want to mess around I jump into RA.

But anything and everything works in PvE even if it is "ineffective shite."

I run 2 MM's and a Curse necro with Barbs . Put those damn henchman monks to use...

Interesting...cant say il ever use it lol

Though i wound not go as far as insulting the people who do use it, that is just a little harsh imo.

Did OP asks for opinions and arguments? Nope. Question was answered in first few posts.

To OP: Just check out those links given to find out more info about "Sabway". Ignore the useless rants that make up most of this thread.

I dont get this build tbh, Ive tried it but always seem to do better with my own builds - their particulary ground breaking, but I seem tod ie alot more with sabway

And for the fact it can "Survive high pressure" - 2 words:

Prot Monk

QFT. Elvis has left the thread.

And your one of those people who are just annoyed because you didnt discover how good this was first

I don't agree, I think they just need to cut down on the coffee or buy some stress balls
