i was just thinking, save yourselves gives a team buff of +100 armor. i was talking to some alliance members about possibly doing an 8-way paragon underwear only fow clear. shouldn't be too hard given the versatility of the paragon skillset. don't know when we'll get around to trying this out since not everyone who's on has a paragon.

ok, 1-2 paras can easily keep save yourselves up constantly. what's the other 6-7 for?

I think what you all missed is:

Actually, LoA has been toying with the idea of an "Naked" FoW run.

We haven't come up with anything beyond using two Imbagons, but it should be possible.

The only limiting factor is that a lot of profs get their energy regen and energy bonus' from armor, so we havn't thought of any way around this. Of course with paras all you need to do is Shout alot.

Off the top of my head, I can think that instead of using AR, use Drunken Master-since without armor a Para is at 20 energy (if I remember correctly-it's been a while since I've naked Para danced my AFK team mates ). At r10 Delver, this'll give you 15% while sober (33% while boozed up), so I would recommend doing this with booze (just for that special flare).

Another option is have everyone use a staff to cast AR, but with the Cracked armor, everyone is only getting 80 armor off of SY!, but with TntF being chained you could prolly get away with it.

Not sure about an attribute split, but a 11/10/9 split seems to be the best (spear/leadership/mot or comm). For your "healers" I would swap the values of spear and mot. around (so it's 11 mot and 9 spear). You'd be underpowered in damage town, but with 5-6 other paras that shouldn't be much of a concern.

I'll have to talk this over with my guildies and see what we can come up with

I think a bunch of paras doing FoW drunk would be great.
