Builds to try in HA over the next few weeks

Smiteway (current meta build)
(basically composed of 3 melee (with IAS & IMS), 1 ele, necro or mes, 1 HB monk, 1 SoD or RC monk and 2 smiter heros (which can also be played by humans))

This is the team build I would like to try with the guild (we can change anything that doesn't appear to work)

I'm down for anything

This next one is a tester and is a spike build so will take a bit of practice before it goes anywhere

How the build works -

Spike #1 - Group Spike = Ray of Judgement + bane signet

Ray of Judgement hits for 105 armour ignoring damage @ 15 smite to target + ALL adjacent foes (6x105 = 630 AoE dmg)
use bane signet to drop anything still moving or to annoy the monks


Spike #2 - Melee Spike = Spear of Light + Castigation signet

Spear of light hits for 55 armour ignoring + 55 to an attacking foe, so any melee that it hitting our backline is spiked down with this + castigation signet to get a 8 energy regain + 55 damage


main uses for spike #1
ranger spike (target grouped rangers, spike with RoJ then immediately switch to rit with bane signet+castigation if behind a wall)

against new smiteway, ignore melee and RoJ backline of 2 smiters+2 monks, then switch to spike #2 on nearest melee and keep pressure on

* REMEMBER - Spear of light is a projectile so useless if your behind a wall!!!


Specific tasks

Caller Calls spike then Pings target (ctrl+t) 2,1 - all spike on 1 with spike #1 or spike #2 as called

Mo/E Defensive ward when melee come near, overlap where needed, cast in order of 4 - 1
Mo/P Fall back used to either run to Spike #1-Group spike or as fast heal when we under pressure (everyone needs to move around)
Mo/P Make haste for relic runs, HoH relics and Shrine capping


on forgotten shrines (where you need to shrine cap) group splits as follows

1+2+SoD Stay at bottom with ghostly and cap between bottom shrines
3,4,5,6+HB run around capping shrines using fall back/make haste as needed (bane sig anything that comes near so u can run on)


HoH relics

1+2 run relics
3+4 ward around altar and our stairs (with hb+sod supporting them)
5+6 speed buff runners + provide support if under attack (bane sig mostly)


HoH Cap the altar

All run in and spear of light ghostly then hold middle whilst our ghostly caps and smite anything that moves


EVERYONE -
MUST use +5 energy + 30 health spear + shield sets or focus of +30 health -5/20% (NO 20/20 or staffs etc...)
MUST be run via vent/ts no exceptions
MUST practice to get spikes right 99% of the time
MUST move as a group at all times (unless splitting for shrine capping)

I would join with any builds we run
But RaO isnt better then Escape.. ?

RaO requires energising wind, more easily shutdown.

Contagion build ( I modded for us to use as a guild as a nice easy build)

Meh - no Savannah Heat

Been trying to convince everyone here to use Cantagion build...none never wanted \:
and the nec spot is mine... no one is allowed to run it but me! (btw, 2 would be better- one instead of the E-ranger)

the reason I went for one is that we have more ppl willing to play frontline and having 3 frontline would help to relieve pressure off our monks through force

I understand.. but still I think that running 2 necs and 2 melees(remove the escape ranger) would be better , altho I dont mind as long as Im the nec xD

at least if we ran contagion as a guild we wouldnt even have to rely on ppl using TS and it as easy to run as heroway tbh

CONTAGIONWAY (GoDT style)
