It is a very fun build the few times I've done the run and it is a nice change from the standard SC.

Horace is just teasing me

Full party wide consets are required. The only personal cons need are a speedboost on the warriors for veil (cupcake or BR)

Horace is in our guild, he's only joking :P
On another note, The balanced builds are very fun to run, and only sacrifice a small amount of time but gain alot more survivability, and mistakes can be much easier recovered from

I get tired of all the DwG hating, but I'm glad someone is promoting a team build that includes a warrior. I had a guy flame me for 20 min. straight because we didn't think that his DwG WARRIOR!!!1 build was suitable for our FR.

I also like the fact that it's a team build not going through post-sf nerf issues. Warriors have always been, and always should be, the main tank(s) for any group.

I notice that the way things are setup in this team that the bulk of the damage is from the warriors and necrosis. Does anyone think that an imba with Anthem of Weariness in place of one of the rits would work? I know most people think it's a trading dmg output for needless extra-protting but I'm just asking about feasability, not optimizing.

The problem with a team like this is that you need competent people, most likely your guild, to do it with. I'd hate to see someone try to get a PUG for this.

Imbagons eat up the hex removal on the team, which is often needed for the warriors. Gloom is also very hard on an imbagon; basically in the long run soul twist is better. Overall the back line is pretty set, but the midline is pretty flexiable with in reason.

So we finally released it. It's about time. I love how we can have bad spawns and still survive to finish the run whereas some other setups cannot survive ANY screw up.

And agree with Chuckles on this build not really for pugging. Try it out with your guild; it's something different!

Idk about this build. Looks like it requires something resembling a brain. PuGs may not like it!

It isn't puggable. The majority of the stuff is done via one stationary warrior and another warrior pulling mobs through the stationary. It requires about the same amount of tactics, knowledge and coordination as the meta speedclear builds, but it is very different from speed clears.
