LOD likes using intensity on their VoR bar because they don't know how recharge/eoe/or secondary spikers work. Derp.

recently i have seen a few parties running these bars with a VoR caller, we tested this when we first made and to put it bluntly, it sucks.. foes in FoW dont use skills enough for it to deal any damage and the builds tend to be very energy intensive due to the frequency of spikes in fow. just cause its used in doa doesn't make it the best thing for fow.

VoR is only really good vs touchers IMO, it just happens to be awesome in DoA because of Enraged.

SS is much better in general, but FoW foes have such weak hp that direct dmg will kill most stuff faster.

But this is off topic, the VoR bar I ran that run wasn't bad, but the Esurge I should've been running would probably have been better, because foes in FoW indeed don't use a lot of skills. My main damage was from Overload-Shatter Delusions spam, and like 2 VoR's triggered per mob. Sometimes more but the point is, it's not super awesome, it's only good if you know how you're using the build.

Armor of Earth on anybody other than t1 is ridiculously terrible.

Was worth a thread bump.

I saw a pug group running this once a week ago, but haven't seen it rear it's head since.

I'd love to see this become popular among pugs. I guess I can only hope, though.

Was worth a thread bump. I think when your not incredibly experienced and not spamming every con in the game, its acceptable to bring armor of earth on your t2/3

improved terra/mt bars and added the bars we currently run - i didnt really care what the terra bars were as people pretty much know what can be run on them and most of the skills are optional anyway.
