Does anyone know where Sab got this build from? Because this build is the first edition of a series of builds that was made to vanquish, HM missions, etc. and i'm pretty sure that he's not the original 'creator' of this build.

I am not here to complain about how he took the build as his own, cause the build HAS been improved (a couple of times at least), I'm just wondering who told him about the build.

From what I do know, Sab presented it in Dan's thread known as "Synergising Hero Builds" on the first page. That was the first place I seen the idea of it outside of HA anyway.

Sab was the first to bring this hero idea to the forums and community in general. other people could have been running it already, but she was the first to post it. and the idea comes from the insane Jagged-battery all-necro teams that ruled HA until they got soul reapng and every useful skill in the team nerfed.

Thank you, this build has worked amazingly so far ;O

Vanquishing elona was a breeze overall, barely any deaths or none at all in some areas. This build is so flexible aswel, i could adjust many of the skills depending on the mobs in the area.

The biggest difficulty i faced with this build was against mobs with huge aoe damage especially the bosses... D:< they pretty much wipe you in seconds so i tried to leave them till last. I tried alot of things like microing the resto's kaoli to get 2 party wide heals back to back, microing prot spirit and the curse necro's weakness, moving around heroes like crazy and also leeroying the boss asap but half or all of the team still got wiped in some cases. The problem with this was the risk of getting 60dp right at the end of clearing and i ended up using alot of consumables and getting wiped 3-4 times before finally taking the aoe bosses down. This happened to me twice as far as i can remember against an sf elemantal boss who wipes in 2 sf's and a rediculous group with 4 fire eles and a chanelling rit boss with spirit rift and destructive was glaive.

I'm just wondering how people handle huge aoe damage with this build? I think im going to have trouble with vanquishing factions/dungeons =/

I'm using a crit scythe sin atm which i love because of the aoe but i'm considering switching to a/w with save yourself to counter big aoe damage, my only problem is that my allegience rank is 1 lol... im not sure how effective it will be? Any advice?

I've vanquished 23 of 34 Elonian areas so far with my variant of Sabway. Two areas I'm still having trouble with are Jahai Bluffs (the Fortress, with the huge collection of elite Kournan troops) and Wilderness of Bahzda (with Eshkebeh Longneck). How did others successfully manage those areas with Sabway?

...but I am too used to Discord by now.

The fortress was more challenging and my heroes/henchies did gain some DP when I tried this time, but it is quite do-able if you go from the acolyte around to Corporal Argon. Maybe if I have played more carefully I would have saved some DP, but I was anxious to get it done.

What should I replace my N/Rt healer with, since I'm a monk and I don't need another healer?

Should I make N/Rt healer into Curses necro instead?

And since the 3-Necro build consists of an MM, an N/Rt healer and a Curses Necro I don't really see the need of having that N/Rt healer if I'm already healing

So I'm trying to find a replacement for that N/Rt healer

The MM's aegis skill is a nice cheap way to protect, and I have pain inverter on my own bar, so I always hit big AoE spammers with that. There are only about three or four AoE bosses in the game (i.e. all three continents) that give me a very hard time. Ele bosses in mobs with hex removal are nasty for me because they remove the pain inverter pretty efficiently.

^^ TYTYTY. I can't believe how much pain inverter owns... Tbh i wasnt very familiar with the eotn pve skills. This skill is amazing with sabway because of the minions. I went back to try this against the SF elemental boss in nf with a set of 9 minions and he died instantly because of the aoe damage he dealt to the whole team and minions, so (9+8)*80 dmg :O...

ahhh bye bye aoe damage ;D;D;D;D;D

^it is generally agreed that the build is inspired by a HA build which used a similar concept.
Thats not to say that it wasnt a stroke of genius to condense it down to such an efficient little package.

What frenzied insanity is saying (i think) is that he will be taking a monk hench and with himself as a healer the N/Rt healer isnt entirely necassery. I would recommend taking a look at some of the other builds from Discordway or from the 8man build I posted on the last page of Sabway vs Discordway.

This might been asked before, but im not sure so anyway.

When you are playing monk yourself, is the only way to go as Ursan? (I find Ursan boring, even tho I am R10).

Or can I do a healing build myself, replace N/Rt with a Derv and use a protection henchie?

Or should i stick with N/Rt go Prot myself and fill up with damge henchies?

What do people do, what is recommended?

How did others successfully manage those areas with Sabway? Vanquishing Gandara, the Moon Fortress can be easy if you complete a quest that will remove the Kournan troops from there. I had the same trouble with the troops until I completed the quest and then vanquished the area.

Check the wiki.

Thx again for the uber-tastic Necros. Unfortunately I'm come to huge problems vanquishing in GWEN. I did all the far shiverpeaks with not much trouble. The char homelands and asura however.....First group in Charlands (with rit/prophet/2 axes/ hexers and the ele)....man they rolled us in like 10 seconds.

so am I doing something wrong? I'm a warrior and basically trying to use the corner trick to jam and hold as tank. Running Earthshaker.

This is what I have on my warrior:

well sorry to say that ran 10 times worse than sabway

I'm vanquishing in grothmar wardowns. I'm refering to the char group with the healer (prophet), 1 or 2 hexers, 2 firecallers, a rit, and mesmer (dominator).

THey absolutely pwn my party everytime

Dominator and Avenger (Rit) should be targeted first since they have perm res. Then flameshielders for their Aegis and AoE spells, then Prophet/mender, then the rest. If you get the order wrong, you have screwed your heroes no matter what heroway you run. If there are melee charrs around, they also have res sig.

Also if you are a warrior, get out/around of Meteor shower and AoE attacks if you can, rather than strain your team's healing. When I get home I will show you a screenshot with my warrior, using this build.

Don't know what I changed tactics wise but suddenly I just got them....Pain Inverter on the mesmer that casts deep freeze = POOF!

After that they just died really quickly

Dont forget the Avenger with [[Flesh of my Flesh]

The rest is obvious: Kill, kill, kill was buggers you the most .. I get the darn ele's down as fast as I can and work my way till the last freaking monk standing. Don't forget /rank every time you killed a Charr. Their gloat skill takes 2 seconds to cast, which is the perfect time to chain your attacks on them.

Their flameshielders are devastating to H/H because they like to clump together for AoE spells. They are also annoying to physicals as they carry aegis.

...not too hard if you know the kill order. This is a quick attempt at the charr caster group just outside Doomlore in Dalada Uplands. I love how you post your little screen shots!! I could take a bunch of loser heroes with garbage builds into hard mode and kill a group and post a screen shot of that...could I then claim their builds are good? Anyway, my point is that posting a retarded screen of you standing over some dead bodies doesn't prove very much and is really rather pointless unless you get some kinda ego boost from it.

Not saying your builds are bad...saying you constantly posting screen shots of you over a few corpses is really stupid.

I like running the discord team, with my necro. I prefer running the Assassin's Promise variant on my Necro, something like AP, You Move like a Dwarf, Ebon Assassin, Finish Him, Enfeebling Blood, Weaken Armor, Suffering, Res. Soul Reaping and Curses at 12 plus runes. As I have completed the HM titles on my main, I have not used this team much in HM. I have tested in the Eastern Frontier, aggroed two groups of Grawl (three healers) and had no problems at all. That was one of the more challenging areas for my Main's Sabway Team.

The guy said it didn't work for him, but I suspect that he was doing it wrongly. The screenshot was just proof that it can work with the build and the right strategy.

Besides Tyla likes my "proof-of-concept" screenshots and asked for more, so blame it on him if you dont like them.

Edit: This is my very first GW video, so bear with me. No sound but you get the picture: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zp8814p2S9s
Also shows why I like Splinter Weapon.

Sabway. BHA + epidemic + minions = easy 4man areas clean. Dunno about larger areas, though, as I got bored with vanquishing after 2 tyrian areas alone and 1 with guild, when someone with 2 heroes went afk for an hour and we were 5/8 against a HUGE mob.

Besides, those 2 heroes were healers.

The screenshot just shows that you opened a console and typed /godmode. You could kill them with anything if you run SY. I'm not saying that it's hard to beat charr with discord, I just pointed that this particular screenshot doesnt prove it at all.

Which contradicted the post that implied that it cant.

And SY on warrior is hardly godmode compared to an Imbagon, since warriors have a greater dependence on adrenaline so they cant spam SY as often.

You only spam SY on an Imbagon because it's your energy management. It's more managable on an Imbagon, but you don't necesarily need to spam SY on recharge as a Warrior, moreso use it every now and then.
