Since sway matches tend to be rather short affairs with plenty of soul reaping either way I just don't get it. Plus you can run torm insignias on necros for +10 armor all the time with little fear of smite damage.

Have fun being lame. --Frosty Mc Admin 16:57, 12 August 2009 (UTC)

Ok, I don't do HA much, but when I do, this looks hilarious. 3 Sin frontline, 2 trappers? wtf? You know what. I'm going to stop right there. --DoA Master 17:02, 12 August 2009 (UTC)
It's just oldschool spiritway with the frontliner du jour--TahiriVeila 17:04, 12 August 2009 (UTC)
Now that it's R/A, its not sway anymore MuffinPWNAGEMUFFIN crabs 17:15, 12 August 2009 (UTC)
Thanks for the epic comment. --Frosty Mc Admin 17:19, 12 August 2009 (UTC)

I'm not getting how this has anything over running BB sins? And don't say blocking Exo Oo 18:26, 12 August 2009 (UTC) and IWAY should beat this in terms of defence tbh, even with all of the blind, you just take -20% blind shield, the rune )i forget name) and recov. Exo Oo 18:27, 12 August 2009 (UTC)

Ran this yesterday. It's insanely lame. Only works if your prisms can heal, which is rare. Ben Tbh 18:31, 12 August 2009 (UTC)
It's easier to pressure with these. Most people don't know how to play a BB sin properly, I.E. using BB once ~4-5 seconds minimum. Most idiots only spike with it once every 30 seconds or so and run around with a built backbreaker and a hammer in their hands the rest of the time. With this it's really easy to just c-space->1->2->3->4->5->repeat--TahiriVeila 18:51, 12 August 2009 (UTC)
So this is like Triple BB Sway but with triple R/As instead? (In fact, the last SWay was the same but with triple R/Ds I guess). Is spammable damage and blocking better than 4-second KDs or not, then, 'cos that's kinda what it comes down to. 86.26.103.165 19:25, 12 August 2009 (UTC)
4 second KDs are obviously better, but like i said. Most people can't play a BB sin properly and are thus less effective using them than a R/A, despite the BB sin having much greater capabilities--TahiriVeila 19:27, 12 August 2009 (UTC)

The difference is is that bb sway does more pressure but its also the most incredibly easy to beat build ever as you just blow the fuck out of their frontline. Escape sorta gets around that. Rawrawr Dinosaur 19:48, 12 August 2009 (UTC)

yeh but you can stop most of this pressure pretty easily if you have a decent team (Even if they're rare) by wanding and slapping on guardian, and just PDing spirits, and you should still be able to spike down these players(?). Exo Oo 20:04, 12 August 2009 (UTC)
It's a lot easier said than done. --Frosty Mc Admin 20:07, 12 August 2009 (UTC)
It really is. I'd rather go fire ele at spirit hunting then just make your mes shit on the e/rts because PD on weapons makes instakills and pblock even more so :P If you wand trappers too much they end up just building song, use song -> both put a trap down, repeat (hence why dual song would be best imo :P) Rawrawr Dinosaur 20:09, 12 August 2009 (UTC)
Even when wanding trappers, they have blocking which can get off a smoke/dust trap etc. And you can spread blind like a whore with this, blind was, dust trap, smoke trap, wep of shadows etc, and ofcourse if you happen to get blind on midliners they can't wand you -> they get more pressure -> snowball. --Frosty Mc Admin 20:12, 12 August 2009 (UTC)
Can't you just RC/LS on a spike? (this is assuming you're not against casta spike) and even with blocks, liek rawr said, a PD/PBlock just shits on this team's defence that once that's done you can just roll them even with blind. but meh, :P i just find 4sec k/d's much better than errr, blocking, coz it can be defensive 2 Exo Oo 20:17, 12 August 2009 (UTC)

why are we even vetting this? A sway template would do this fine tbh considering theyre all the fucking same but with a different pressurenig as a frontliner :\ Rawrawr Dinosaur 20:19, 12 August 2009 (UTC)

That was my point \: (when i said bb do it better, just a different frontline for same build) but frosty is admin and made it so it's allowed? Exo Oo 20:37, 12 August 2009 (UTC)
No one ever suggested a template build, including you... If you make a template I would be fine with that. --Frosty Mc Admin 22:01, 12 August 2009 (UTC)
Well both this and the BB version are basically just variants of the original (well, original of this incarnation) SWay so I don't see why you couldn't just have a SWay page. You could even bring the old one out of archive and update or whatever. 86.26.103.165 22:42, 12 August 2009 (UTC)
It wasn't your point at all, stop being fucking retarded. Calling something worse than something else is not the same as asking for a template. --Crow 00:12, 13 August 2009 (UTC)
my point was it's fucking sway. From there on in i expect you to use a brain instead of your overlarge e-peen Exo Oo 11:04, 13 August 2009 (UTC)
the only thing you were saying was that you like BB>R/A, nothing else Terran 11:49, 13 August 2009 (UTC)

I'd rather have individual pages than a template, because the different builds weren't played at the same time. It's not like R/W, R/D, A/W, and R/A are all seeing use at this one time and are equally applicable. They were all played at different time periods so i feel like each should have its own page to record its influence in the meta-period it was played--TahiriVeila 11:54, 13 August 2009 (UTC)

not really, they can all be played now, the meta doesn't make you have to run this specific frontline... Exo Oo 18:53, 13 August 2009 (UTC)
Yeah but whereas nobody runs R/Ds and N/Rts any more, people are still currently running both BBs and R/As (in fact I just obsed a 3-way R/A sway match and a R/A-R/A-balanced match). Although would the old R/D sway work if it had a new (E/Rt or Rt/A et.c.) backline? 81.109.208.56 17:53, 14 August 2009 (UTC)
JAGGEDWAYYYYY ··· Dannycbf 19:52, 14 August 2009 (UTC)
Anyway, they are both basically the same so I made a general build page, if you want it, keep it, if not just delete or whatever. 86.27.238.214 20:08, 14 August 2009 (UTC)

Teams i play with who are r8/9 prefer warmongers AND brutal instead of splinter. is that not any good? Exo Oo 11:03, 19 August 2009 (UTC)

What spec would you use? --Frosty Mc Admin 11:33, 19 August 2009 (UTC)
Something like rest-8 spawn-9+1 insp-3 comm-10+1+1 chan-9+1 not positive about spawn breakpoints though Exo Oo 11:44, 19 August 2009 (UTC)
Those atts are impossible, I guess 9 resto, 9 communing, 9 spawning, 9 channeling is possible. Or possibly, 10 Communing, 10 Channeling, 8 resto, 8 spawning. --Frosty Mc Admin 11:52, 19 August 2009 (UTC)
I'll double check but those are what i've saved as my template on GW Exo Oo 12:11, 19 August 2009 (UTC)
Rest is 8 Exo Oo 12:13, 19 August 2009 (UTC)
Meh I don't think i've ever gone up against a sway running warmonger + brutal, its normally just commune or channeling. I've seen a fair few with a warding on the rit though. Rawrawr Dinosaur 12:30, 19 August 2009 (UTC)

too many sources of blind

imho there are too many sources of blind making it redundant. nr/tranquility cant be spammed as much as a oath could spam it. drop maybe one of trapper for oath for more survivibility against hexways.Elephantaliste Noir 16:48, 23 August 2009 (UTC)

good thing you crossed the good out frosty. The build's shit against anyone decentExo Oo 19:19, 23 August 2009 (UTC)
yeah flawlessed Dent's sway yesterday nd theyre pretty much the best sway. they are right though, rt/as are well better than prisms, when i played w/ them we did way better once we started running rt instead of prism. Rawrawr Dinosaur 12:19, 25 August 2009 (UTC)

What about wild strike on a R/A or 2? just a thought but it would mean you could counter other sways by ripping into the stances of the rangers and doing damage. Just jagged then wait for stance up then use it? Exo Oo 12:15, 26 August 2009 (UTC)

  • Ether Prism = .56 energy / second if used on recharge
  • Nec rit /w OoS @ 10 channling = .73 energy / second + soul reaping (10)
