User:Gorm/Builds/FoWsc MyaWay

This build is designed to complete all quests in the Fissure of Woe as fast as possible. It involves several split tactics with a team to clear the Forest of the Wailing Lord, while the mainteam only clears the way to forge and back to Rastigan. A full Conset is required to make the build work.

This version of the build is adapted to the general FoWsc community with the common T1 and T2.

= A few notes about the build =
 * A full conset is required to make the build work.
 * Everyone is adviced to bring a few Resurrection Scrolls in case something goes wrong.
 * Basically, the spike consists of AoE damage by Mark of Pain that is frequently triggered by Hundred Blades using Whirlwind Attack hitting multiple foes.
 * The damage done from Mark of Pain and Hundred Blades increases with the number of foes hit by Whirlwind Attack, which makes large groups easier to kill than little ones (provided they are all balled up correctly).
 * This build evolved quite a bit and the current version is what we find works best and suits us most.
 * A practiced team with proper tactics can get times around 20 minutes regularly.
 * You can find me playing this in german and american districts as Mya Featherblade.
 * A PUG-friendly meta build for manly spike can be found here: FoW Manly Spike.
