Are 8 W/Mo's really the best group?

I'm no where near the Tomb, but I keep hearing stories about getting wasted by parties of 8 Warrior/Monks from Korea (I don't know if EU or USA is doing the same thing). Is this really the best party?

Um, no.

Ensign is very new to guildwars, The truth is 8 w/mo's ARE the best group.

I do tombs nightly, and have never, ever seen this. And even if it did appear, it wouldn't be hard to shut it down.(ward against melee anyone?:P)

Ward against melee doesn't work for balthazar's aura, if 8 warriors are on you with balth aura that's 176 DPS.

What he said.

StandardAI hasn't encountered enchantment removal yet.

You should stop fighting NPCs!!!

I'm pretty sure I've played in a nearly all w/mo team before. If I could say one thing it would be that most of us took a bit of beating before we died, but it was a very poor group. If you all had different skills like charge, skullcrack, mend ailment, and lots of party defensives you'd probably do ok.

StandardAI is saying stupid crap for the sake of saying stupid crap - no need to respond to that.

So Wa/Mos can take a beating - what does it matter when they have crap for energy and horrible offensive capability?

two words: Mass Snares

Sorry, You can't reasonably disenchant 8 enemies.

8 W/Mo's ? Well, blind them and kill them like flies.. or something.

Surely the most hyped build.. I bet every second person in GW has that build on the list. I thought of changing from 2nd prof Necro to Monk after ascension, but eventually didn't. Saw no benefit at all in doing so...

Standard AI is very new to GW and doesn't know about running

lmao not only is it not the best build it might be the worst. i want 1 warrior maz on any tomb team i am on. lmao 8 can you say bye bye in about 5 minutes?

rotflmao what he failed to mention is that BA only works for adjacent foes. casters will smack down a W/Mo for distance lmao

standart AI are you just trying to be foolish today?

Yeah its called well of profane..

An all warrior build can be hard to beat but with the right preperation its quite easy, Keep em all blind, snare traps, Aegis, ward against melee, blurred vision. Theres a hundred ways to stop warriors. You can make it so the team doesnt strike a hit.

HOLY SMOKES IS EVERYONE WEARING THEIR SARCASM BLINDERS TODAY OR WHAT

READ THIS AGAIN

For one thing, you don't need to disenchant 8 at once, unless your team can't target, in which case you probably won't win anyway. Second, any necro could take out those enchantments in seconds. Chillblains, Rend Encht., Strip Encht., Well of the Profane...

Meh.

The issue here is that with half-true comments like "you can't reasonably disenchant 8 enemies", combined with the presence of those who don't necessarily grasp the entire situation I can see people treating StandardAI's comments as more than just deliberate idiocy.

I am not entertained.

well a full team of war/mo's is not being very diverse, and if the enemy sees that and if they are experienced they will know exactly how to move and where to stand...

But still we can sit here an examine a build all we want, but the truth is only about 60% of a good team is based on skills and characters, while 40% is actual teamwork and strategy.

A warrior team should know that they won't have to all focus fire on one target, and that they can split up as they please because the warriors do pretty decent damage and since they are melee they can pull together to block the enemies they choose and can in fact force the enemy to go where they want the to go.

But also there are many ways to dodge a warrior.... but if th warriors bring crippling and if they have a good plan to fight off conditions they should be fine.
