Did you mean to say "another Sabway Con" instead of Pro?

Maybe I just misunderstood.

To put it simply, he was taking a cheap shot at you because you decide to use different builds from him.

More physicals there is definitely a good idea though. Sabway won't work as well there as Ractoth's build would, for sure.

So he DOESN'T use Sabway and I do, so he was making a comment like "oh look another Sabway user and see look where it's got him"? I dunno, I just didn't understand his comment, nevermind though.

I'm actually considering using something along the lines of this right now, as Sabway isn't really working for me the way I'd hoped. At least I tried it out though.

There's nothing wrong with going all casters. The only concern is that if you go one of too much, you may end up against a counter set up (which is what happened to you with those Wind Riders). Most areas, all casters works just fine.

I personally wouldn't recommend 3 healers, though. Most areas, you'll just need 1 healer for every 4 members. If you have a MM, even 1 healer will do for most 8-man areas. I'd rather go for the extra damage rather than a 3rd healer who won't be needed.

I remember the first time i went to that island, monster free, was fun, then they added the wind riders.

Now that area is just as annoying to me as vanquishing Mamnoon Lagoon.

I wonder if there is a lore reason for all the enemies circling that island.
Maybe they are protecting the tree.

The main problem with 3 healers, especially when its hero/hench healers is they're very redundant with their healing. Often times someone will receive dmg and 2 or even all 3 hero/hench healers will react and heal the one party member. Clearly only 1 needed to heal him but instead of 3 turn on the red bar pushing and end up wasting some healing.

Now u might think, o thats not a bad thing at least I'll never die then. Well its not as big a deal with sabway necro healer but the hench healers will however be pinched for energy like this. Not to mention its just not efficient, I mean instead of wasting some healing one of those slots could be turned into a dmg dealer where that extra healing might become unnecessary. I mean if ur opponents are dead, u won't need healing

The tree provides the pixies. Wind Riders provide the tentacles. GW2 will have some epic action indeed

Those Windriders tend to screw up ANY profession with their Cry of Frustration. I tried to pull a Broad Head Arrow, Epidemic combo off, and I swear, they were all waiting for me to use my next skill so they could interrupt me.

When moused over this I was prepared to feel sorry for the OP. But then I saw who s/he was ingame and decided to just lol. The OP is kind of a noob and an annoying spammer too.

To avoid being surprised in the future I suggest looking up any area you happen to enter in GuildWiki, especially if you're entering it in HM for the first time. A few mins of recon can save you alot of travel time and certainly a few consumables.

WTF? I NEVER spam. I don't know who you are, but if I'm annoying I'm guessing that you gave me sh*t one day and I proceeded to put you on my ignore list & then tell you quite frankly to f*ck off? Then you couldn't take it, so I'm automatically an annoying spammer noob, yeah ok.

Anyway, before you make such bullsh*t comments in the future, I suggest you back it up with some proof. I've never spammed ingame, and calling me a "noob" for no reason is retarded.

I've never seen you ingame in my life. I'm pretty sure I'd remember you if we ever had an argument or whatever. I hardly EVER get into arguments with people ingame, so like I said, if we DID have an argument or whatever I'd remember it. Maybe you're mistaking me for somebody else.

I also just added you ingame and A) You're not on my ignore list (which you would be if we had an argument) & B) it said you're not online. If we had an argument in the past I'm pretty sure you would have put me on ignore aswell, but it didn't say that, it just said you're offline.

Thats because I met you while playing my Warrior, Jeska The Risen. Maybe I met you on an off day because you annoyed everyone in LA so much that nearly everyone put you on iggy, myself included.

I'm annoyed that somebody is making up stuff about me for god knows what reason. I'm one of the nicest players you can meet in the game and the last time I had an argument wiht somebody was around 6 months ago, and it was definitely not this guy or the other character he mentioned.

I'm pretty sure you'd be annoyed aswell.

Maybe it was my brother. WHUFC89 is my brother's account & IGN, although he doesn't play GW anymore & I couldn't be bothered to make a new forum account, so I use his. That's why people look at the avatar and assume I have a warrior, but I only play as an ele.

8 Dervs with vow of silence and enough healing to counter the ferocious wanding? Wind Riders are just pathetically weak.

Good idea. Maybe some monks with [skill]spell breaker[/skill] aswell, or a few assassin farmers with [skill]shadow form[/skill]

What? Yeah, it's possible. It's not even very hard, they don't have much in the way of damage and weak armor.
Some things which make big mobs of windriders easy: Vanguard Assassin Support, Searing Flames, Splinter-Barrage (or just splinter on a warrior), an already up-and-rolling minion army, and holding the monks back for the first few seconds of the fight so the windriders can waste their interrupts without messing up the healers.

For great lols, put Spellbreaker on an Ele, send him in first, and have him cast Meteor Shower.

whufc89 - being annoyed is one thing, but actively bypassing the swear filter is another thing. It's in place for a reason, and bypassing it and/or breaching other forum rules tends to get your post's deleted and possible other action taken against you (such as temporary, or even permanent, suspension of posting rights - ie being banned).

For everyone - desist on the personal attacks, insults and flames. You have been warned.

If you haven't done so recently, or ever, I suggest you take the time to read the following:
