Edge Bomb

I'm not sure if the chain reaction thing is true - but it would be worth testing

MoP doesn't really fit into many builds... except maybe another EoE bomb i don't know about the chain. i have seen it kill everything inside of compass range. i saw one bomber kill their entire team halfway across the compass standing next to the eoe. the door was blocking as the other 2 teams fought. they dropped eoe and killed everyone within compass range.

does it chain? i don't think so. if those 2 teams were outside of eoe's range there is no way they were close enough for the bombers to kill them haflway across the map by a chain. since it did kill them that tells me that both teams were inside of eoe's range.

One thing i want to mention about nerfing - when Smiting was still popular, almost every team had a smiter in it. Technically, smiting wasnt overpowered and it was clearly beatable. However, Anet took steps to 'nerf' almost all of the skills in your typical smiters skill bar, essentially nerfing smiters.

The reason im mentioning that is because Anet nerfed smiting not because it was overpowered - theres still debate about that - but because it was so popular. Im starting to see similarities between the arguments of how to beat IWAY's and smiting; "Any good team brings counters to it", "just because you cant beat it doesnt mean it should be nerfed", etc.

If Anet acts consistently with what they did in the past - which isnt a fact - they will nerf IWAY (I suspect that ANet has alot of things to consider beyond simply skill imbalances when they think of nerfing IWAY). EoE builds are still just joke builds that i doubt will ever really be nerfed. Every body wants IWAY to be nerfed, for a few good reasons, but see it from the standpoint of ANet. There is nothing wrong with the skills of the IWAY build, and that's causing them some trouble. You can't just nerf balanced skills because there's a good build outside. You have to ask yourself why IWAY is gettin so well along?

It misses three basic things of a good team:
1) Hex Removal
2) Condition Removal
3) Healing
4) Enchant Removal

Now the enchant removal is tricky, the necro(s) of an IWAY team makes the difference between loss and win, corpse control, well of profane.
Now if your team can interrupt the necro with well of profane, you have nice enchants up on a line that is guarding the stairs to the starting point.
There is no reason why you should loose against IWAY. It just depends on disabling the necro, because he controls the game. Thats all you really need against an IWAY team.

Not to mention the fact, that you could buff yourself up to have more health than their "sole survivor" ranger.

Btw. that opens a question for me, Frosty. All of you were actually Illusion 12 Mesmers with lotsa Superiors to drop your health. But not one of your Rangers who was a R/Mo. From what I understand his build was designed to survive the EoE to guarantee your victory. Do you have any details on his build? Just Mark of Protection or some other skills like Divine Intervention, Watchful Spirit, Some Bonds on him Vital Blessing maybe as well? first off edge does way way way more damage then you can raise your health above, power was a r/mo and basically used mark of prot to keep himself alive and then used light of dwayna incase anybody survived we could edge him or just surge him to death, tricky part is getting past unworthy ghost with 180 health and no monks

i played this build to try it out. took me 8 times to get through the ghost. once we finally made it past the ghost it was smooth sailing.
