Spiritway

This page contains information about an obsolete build. The information on this page does not apply to the game as it currently exists.

Spiritway (AKA Sway) was a gimmick build frequently seen in Heroes' Ascent. It featured the use of Elementalist/Ritualist builds for the backline, to avoid anti-enchantment tactics. The frontline included Rangers using Daggers; using appropriate stances, the Rangers could spam quick attacks without worrying about positioning or energy.

Composition[edit]

Frontline

Rangers, using long-lived stances, 0.25¼-second/no-aftercast attacks, and high expertise. Zealous daggers for energy or Vampiric for self-heal/damage.
One takes Apply Poison to increase pressure.
Others take Leaping Mantis Sting to snare.
The main chain consisted of mostly unblockable/quickly recharging attack skills, e.g. Wild Strike or Fox Fangs.
Shattering Assault was used to remove Enchantments.

Midline

Trappers equipped with shield and/or high-energy sets.
Ward Against Foes, Grasping Earth, and Song of Concentration
One trapper usually was responsible for one spirit.

Backline

Elementalist/Ritualist

Commonly used spirits

Trivia[edit]

Sway was a past Flavor of the Month in Guild Wars PvP that fell out of the meta around August of 2009.
