Got another 15 wins with pugs today, running cleave, palm strike, poison arrow and peace and harmony.
I'll stop a little bit to talk about today, because I think today was special. Today we had very little spear attacks and no dervish elites worth running. But there were still a lot of people who had to run dervish and used balthazar, and still teams that went two midliners and relied on assassin as their only melee.
Today really separated who understood Guild Wars from people who don't. A person who doesn't understand Guild Wars would look at today's skill list and think, low damage because no wounding strike and no spears. Especially someone who's been playing Codex for the past week and taking a dervish every single day. People who understand Guild Wars know that a warrior, with 12 strength and 12 axe, even with a pathetic attack skill like cleave is amazing DPS. Guild Wars is made around the warriors. Everything else is either made to shut down warriors, heal through warrior damage or is a bad copy of a warrior. If anyone is still playing this is what I ran:
Distracting Strike
Leviathan Sweep
Cleave
Penetrating Chop
Fear Me
Desperation Blow
Balanced Stance
Resurrection Signet
The strategy I used to win was simple, attack their assassin. Distracting strike ruined their chain, and leviathan knocked them down in the middle of their chain when the rt put weapon of warding on the assassin. And when the assassin got pissed and went after me, I was immune to critical.
Note that I don't have the awful lacerating chop skill. Also this was a special day that warriors don't need IAS... normally they do, but cleave charges so fast that you shouldn't need bezerker stance. Desperation blow with balanced stance for a chance for deep wound.
Anyone still playing can probably get 50 wins with a pug with balthazar derv, cleave war, palm strike assassin and p&h monk with cripple.
(Un)Surprise of the Day: Assassins wearing two superiors and falling like flies (lol).
