Talk: Team - HA Balanced Hex

Dicuss please, open to any comments and or critisicm. It works and i have used it a lot for my balance. Kurzick FTW 05:28, 14 June 2009 (UTC)

Looks really effective. I'll check it out more later. Bennnn 05:41, 14 June 2009 (UTC)

Why VoR? —ǘŋ Ɛxɩsƫ 08:56, 14 June 2009 (UTC)

I guess it's for extra AoE pressure. Tbh, this is just a balanced team using the ES + SH combo, it's bound to work at least reasonably well, though it will be a lot more effective against stupid teams who ball than good ones (but then most things are I guess). 86.10.23.227 10:03, 14 June 2009 (UTC)

VoR with only other hexer as LC won't be all that effective tbh.

The point of the VoR is to dish out pressure against any caster, in this meta a lot of people rely on casters to do the main damage, with a VoR using Backfire+VoR on backliners and some midliners, it is effective and can deal lots of pressure to a team without much backup support. Also, the LC is the only hexer besides a TC in this meta...so idk wat ur talking about by another hexer...1 hexer=ftw. Kurzick FTW 17:51, 14 June 2009 (UTC)

Remember this is a balance with the potential of a coordinated spike, not a full out spike. Most builds ran now are spikes. I think some of you are confused with a balance and a spike....--Kurzick FTW 18:23, 14 June 2009 (UTC)

90% of builds run at the moment is crazy pressure way. I run this build a bit but with either a rit or support monk instead of one of the eles. Wipes stuff really fast. Reunion 19:23, 14 June 2009 (UTC)

With what is ran today, i dont bring an extra supporter, i think if i get a high enuf ranked monk, the support wont be needed, but the ele is extra pressure and suggested for ranked teams. Remember this build is for ranked teams not just glf something wihtout a rank. Kurzick FTW 19:25, 14 June 2009 (UTC)

Yeah I play ranked teams lol. There is not much point in bringing the extra ele cuz abusing SH VoR and linger is enough to beat teams in 2-3 mins easily, and the support monk helps loads for defence on the later on maps, while fire ele only really shines on cap points. Reunion 19:34, 14 June 2009 (UTC)

If the monk is able to do his own healing and the prot isnt red baring, you dont need a support. i do run with supports every once in a while. But usually pressure is better. Just look at my recent team build, HA Get Physical, it has a support, but a major offensive. it rly depends on the maker of the build. I might add in latter a variant for support (OoS or Prism ftw ^^) --Kurzick FTW 00:20, 15 June 2009 (UTC)

Updated

Removed the WoH and Evisc. Neither are run in tombs because they're just plain inferior to Primal and HB. Also, i reccomend changing the SH eles to MB + dual heat, they deal far more damage than SH can while having much better emanagement--TahiriVeila 02:54, 26 July 2009 (UTC)

Surprisingly

this is effective. first time i looked at it i said ew. then i ran it. its really effective nut id drop one MB for some sort of utility. wth VoR and LC u ahev almost too much AoE pressure. we ran PnH. but it was PUG so i felt it necessary. feel free to crap all over this is just my 2 cents

Changed the Shock Axe

changed the name of the first build of shock axe to Primal rage, thanks for updating my build, Tahiri :) Am aTeuR) 00:24, 17 August 2009 (UTC)

Taint maybe?

I think you need more party support (pwk / life) and taint is always good in these sorts of builds. It also protects you from the main source of pressure in the meta hexways, which helps since you have no off monk hex removal. Than again I'm pretty bad so who knows ^_^ Zero.Six 05:17, 21 August 2009 (UTC)

The LC necro will have major energy problems when using that bar--Tyrael-- 16:03, 21 August 2009 (UTC)

Taint';s a viable alternative, but that's more of a full-spec hexway than a balanced with some hex. This is more designed to pressure with some hex while you nuke things with two eles.--TahiriVeila 16:11, 21 August 2009 (UTC)

It's not great on energy, but I play it all the time (with rip instead of FF because most monks still prefer LS). You just can't spam suffering on recharge unless you're getting a lot of soul reaping, or use resilient weapon very often. Zero.Six 17:01, 21 August 2009 (UTC)

Taint kinda just makes this a hexway...and this build is made to deal a lot of pressure, not hex a target down. Plus, theyre nerfing HA soon to have it so that no heroes can be brought into HA. κʊʀʐɨᴄκ ᴀᴋᴀ [ᴀᴍᴀᴛᴇᴜᴙ] 18:09, 21 August 2009 (UTC)

Players are capable of tainting too =\--TahiriVeila 18:10, 21 August 2009 (UTC)

players are worse at it. — μαφλεσ 02:14, 22 August 2009 (UTC)
