PvE EASY MODE: General PHYSWAY

I have done DoA with me as ER, 1x UA, and 1x imbagon. Just have to stack a bit more defense when you can't bond everyone all the time. you can do pretty much anything with a monk ally you can do with an ER - GW isn't that hard. I meant soloheal.

I feel like a challenge. Let's do Physway in Ravenheart Gloom Hard Mode!

By the way; finally got around to editing the UW Physway bars and guide. Sounds a lot more coherent as of now.

Vow of Strength crit-scythe sins? Every hit needs to count.

You'd be auto-attacking alot due to missing chains. Could take some AoD dervs, 100b wars mixed in. Hmm, I think a mix of AoD and 100b would do the trick. Not sure how slow it'd be.

Any other suggestions? For support bars, perhaps. Dedicated SoR cleaner?

Attack chains simply cannot be used.
Mel's Resistance is viable, AoD less so (Derv energy problems suck).
Hundred Blades could work with good coordination and a good AP-MoP caller.

When aoe attacks like WW are used, is the % to miss calculated on ever foe? If so, 2 100b and 2 ES wars should work fairly well. Or you can go 4 ES wars to make it fail proof.

Earthshaker is a bad idea. Adrenaline build up would be slow and unreliable with both the miss chance and slow attack speed of a Hammer.
And if Earthshaker misses, you don't get the knockdown (it's only one attack).

That's a point, with AoE attacks- if it's 50% chance to miss every target or 50% for your swing/attack to miss.

MoP
100b
100b
MR sin
AoD derv (for lulz if nothing more, to remove pressure off the cleaner)

SoH-SoR cleaner.
SoS rit

ER
ER

Want to give that a go? I just assume someone will bring a Derv. If not another 100b.

Agreed on the Adrenaline building problem. No room for it.

Tried Gloom last night. Epic fail, but I think it's possible with a SoS rit somewhere to ball up better.

I don't get why the nec has both Ootv and OoP. Judges seems out of place as well, unless your bringing it just for double damage vs undead?

It's actually quite interesting to see this configuration still in use. I thought the Ascan/buh nerf would have made people less-inclined to play it.

Good job, Polish people.

I'll be around if I can. Why do I have a feeling I'm going to end up on ER as usual...

I haven't played in about a year so I'm probably a bit rusty but I'd be happy to come along. Whenever I'm on Guru I'll be available in game, so if you need someone and I haven't logged on yet PM me here.

PS: I don't have any DoA experience or UW experience outside of farming so I'll be a bit of a noob if you want to clear either of those.

Thought I'd mention here, we did UW on a whim for the first time in about a year. It went surprisingly well, as I brought a friend who had never entered UW before, a pug perma sin who died twice (splitting only for Planes and Pools) and a slightly altered team build.

The run was slow, but that was expected as we didn't quite know what to take to make the damage output look right. We went with a second necro with AP-MoP. Two dervs with VoS, Earthshaker War (bad idea, next time trying Triple Chop war) Orders as usual for singletarget and extra enchants for the ERs. No rit this time, but that was only because I found a perma before I could find a rit.

Run time was 1:47, which could be brought down with a better perma and better derv/war bars (derv needed revising and war was outright terrible)

And you kept dying. You owe me like 12 res scrolls. Lies! At one point I was the only ER standing yo. Considering we had no Rit, no Feast of Souls, we did pretty well.
