hi all this thread is just to see who likes which one over the other.
i personally favor sabway for my warrior. i havent set up either sabway nor discordway on any other characters so i'm judging this completely from my warriors aspect. it just seems like nomatter where i go with this team build i can own.

but which do you prefer and why? thanks

Well, since I mainly run 2 energy pip characters, and my only choices are Discordway and Sabway, I'll run Sabway. Hell, even if I'm on a caster I'll run Sabway because it requires less effort on my part and you still roll PVE. Regardless, I generally use prefer a D/N Orders hero, a SoH Smite Hero, and a WE Axe hero if I'm using them.

I currently prefer Arkfenway. Has 2 copies of discord, takes NO damage, and can blast through zones as fast as any other build.

I prefer to look at wiki and see what im fighting then use my extensive knowledge of the game to come up with builds to counter it. Thanks.

Back on topic , like Elementer Masta said i prefer to use a modified version of sabway , you blast through the game with minimal effort although i have to admit if your going with a friend you may want to try arkfenway as mentioned above,the quote ''hot knife through butter'' comes to mind with that build :P

Discord and Sabway I used to use that like 8 months ago now I just Create builds around with whats in the area and counter that.

my Razah or Xandra are used a lot, people underestermate them.

But back on topic, I prefer Sabway over discordway because without an AP caller, sabway always seems to do more damage for me. Plus you can run a spear-chucking mesmer for all sabway cares, it'll still steamroll PvE.

16splinter says hi

I normally run, channeling rit, mm with heavy prots, and then a mesmer with some utility for whatever I am facing. I also have a prot monk thats sees a decent bit of use. I also use a curses and blood necro lines quite often.

Physical class? Sabway
Caster Class (With needed PvE skills)? Discordway

Hope that simplifies things...

As I'm melee, I like sabway more, modified sabway ofcourse.. but on a caster..I also bring sabway for the most part, coz imo the AP build is just boring.

Doesn't Arkfenway require two human players? Eh, I like to play by my self, and I don't know anyone who plays this game :P

soo Sabway, though I've never tried Discordway

Sabway is already loaded onto my necros' bars. Why change? That's effort and PvE is not about effort.

Discord usually when I vanq but I go arkfenway when I get someone who has the two rit heroes that no one ever seems to have :/. Then we do our 4 rit/2 nec combo to steamroll while me and the other human c-space everything XD. Sabway imo, doesn't have the pew pew potential that discord/arkfenway really shine with.

Discord.

Massive damage can be a good defense.

Sabway, discordway, arkenway are all one of the finest builds. I cant see why people insist of comparing apples with oranges.

Having achieved most of the title grinding via sabway (got the titles but not proud at all), I perfer to run an assortment of heros with my own "crappy builds" and if it manages to bail me through the mission i feel ever more satisfied than being a copy cat that thinks he is "leet".

@OP, on physicals, I'll be using ArkFenway, on casters I tend to do whatever I feel like at the time.

My para does physicals and bitches.
My warrior is alive because of the pretty.
My assassin and ranger aren't even level 20 so they play with the heroes that they have access to. My previous ranger ran multiple rangers and a necro bitch.
Using the heroes that they have access to also applies to some of my new pretty casters.
My fully grown casters do not run Sabway.

Why?
Because the only thing I can change in PvE is the way I play it. So I run different strategies on different guys to break the monotony.
That, or I just don't play the game.

I have not played in a while and just saw this and learned about discordway and the other new one.
I've been doing sab's way for a while and lately been adding 2 SF eles and let us burn with minions.
So I have the MM necro with sab's build plus two hero eles with SF and I roll.
Very effective. Also whenever I see an interrupt hench I add it as well.
I'm going to check out discordway to see it as well as the new Arkfenway.
