I love being a warrior for the snowball fights. Gotta love damage reduction.
Who do you prefer, Grenth or Dwayna?

Warrior/Ranger w/ a pet & 45/-2 in hex shield is superb in there ^^. got 16 in a row but we got RED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GOy and lost to some nuuuuuuuuub team.

Maybe im dumb but where is That SnowBall Arena?
Former Ruling
Pets are the sh!z in there.
But armor isn't factored in, so your class doesn't matter..and I dont see an advantage to the shield either...Dmg Reduction doesnt count in there, and your HP is autoset to 500..
-------------------------
Atleast you found a team that actually knows how to play -_-
I tryed for an hour, and got only people are either:
1) New players who ran around doing nothing wondering why their skills are gone.
2) people that just called a random target and wanted to spike dmg that target.....while the other team has a free day running presents to their avatar.
A global thing is NOONE realized that Kills mean nothing in there..its basically a relic run map..you win by running the presents to your Avatar. Noone cared or tryed to stop present runners, or anything.
Did I just get the noob teams?

Damage reduction from my Ascalon piece is taken into account as I am only taking 48 damage from snowballs. If you're looking for confirmation that the damage reduction is global this is the place to test it.
Former Ruling
I could swear my warrior with minor Absorb on still took 50 :\
Its being racist against certain types of reduce? or was I playing before a fix? or what -_- I woulda survived once if it didnt take even dmg off.

Woo! The new snowball arena is great! Especially when you get an indestructible team as I did; we only quit after our 22nd win because we got bored/were near to starvation/etc.

Sowball is the best PvP thus far in the game...why? it is SO balanced! health and almost same skills!
Juicey Shake
balanced my ass.
Warriors, equipped and professioned properly are way overpowered.

yeah, a group of warriors, rocks, the let's get em skill really works if you chain shout them.
as to side i think dwayna's is my fav, the falling snowman attack is pretty cool.

I had a few matches in this, as much fun as it was i could not deal with the stupid people i was with, apparently your not aloud to have fun in PvP snowball fights these days you have to be serious and not have time to enjoy yourself
Death Approacher
where do u go to snowball fights?
ExplosiveBadger
Go to Lions Arch and in front of the skills guy is Grenth and Dwayna. Inbetween them is the snowball guy. Under his name it says [Snowball Fight]. (If you can't find the skills guy go near the henches and look around for Grenth and Dwayna.
There is also one near the exit in Ascalon City if you're not at Lions Arch yet.

W/R are simply the best classes to take into the snowball arena. Warriors get the damage reduction (which admittedly isn't much, but it still gives an extra hit to live), and Rangers get to bring a pet... somehow... and said pet can still attack... somehow...
So... yeah. At least Mesmers get a really cool skill #6. Interruption + Blind = ignore for 10 second. Excellent for protecting the present runners.
Oh, and Dwayna's side for me... slowing down the enemy is good fun. I've saved a couple presents that way.
But my one question regarding the arena is this: Why bother with energy? We get 40 with 4 regen... yet none of the skills use it. I don't get it.

I'm not so sure for the Mesmer special. I've read(somewhere) that since the Snowball skill is a spell/skill and NOT an attack, the blind is pointless. Any confirmation?
But still the intterupt is good nonetheless.

Here's my dilema. I'm a Grenth man myself, but I far prefer the skillset I get when playing on Dwayna's side. The only way to win against a warrior heavy team is with that AOE Cripple. I love when the whole team charges in at once, and just before they get there, a snowman lands on them. Free gift for my team.
Still, I want Grenth to win in the end.

I think it's just a way of saying, "Level Playing Field". *Shrugs*
[EDIT] One other thing, on the subject of Pets in Snowball Fights:
It is harder than heck to get them to target someone, and my Strider has a nasty habit of body-blocking me. Many a time I have made an enemy drop a gift, but I couldn't pick it up because the bird was standing between me and the enemy. Very frustrating.[/EDIT]

pets are easy to maneuver, just takes some getting used to.
and to get them to attack just target your enemy and hit space.. o.O

Fungus Amongus
I named my pet Fungus Among (max characters allowed). It was amazing how many people ended up attacking my pet instead of me.
As soon as I did that I got a well rounded team and racked up almost 20 consecutive wins (Christmas morning-we all agreed we had enough and parted ways).
Edit~Prep with Hidden Rock during countdown, toss 4 Snowballs, one Giant Snowball, Avalanche, then Holiday Blues ftw. Of course this works best on the ice.

i had an idiot on my team that tried to convince both sides that we should just kill each other for faction and not take any presents...then he snuck off and started handing presents to his avatar....loser.
