what about bull's strike on 1 warr instead of agonizing? helps a lot in general but especially chasing runners.... - 420  20:01, 23 February 2009 (UTC)
 * ??? you have brage. and when they're running they aren't healing. and when they stop. you dchop ..LJ..  20:02, 23 February 2009 (UTC)
 * true yes that's how it works, but u could BS & make them totally useless for 3 sec & get 3sec of free dmg/adren, then dchop immediately when they get up to heal, same difference rly but more dmg. plus like i said, makes it that much easier to catch relic/runners if u get that far/care. - [[Image:Ins420sig.png]] 420 20:19, 23 February 2009 (UTC)

I know someone probably pointed this out before at some point, but couldnt this be countered very easily by just not attacking the pets? Maybe a team that concentrated on precise damage with little/no AoE damage? sure the pets would add a little extra damage but im pretty sure without IWAY itself the team would fall to bits. 86.162.73.235 03:21, 15 April 2009 (UTC)

Ranger
Am I missing something or are the ranger atts impossible? Would have to be exp=11, wild=11, earth=8, right? Also, I can't help but think Predatory Season would be great if it could fit, maybe instead of Tranquility? - 420  18:39, 23 February 2009 (UTC)
 * LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL. no ..LJ..  18:49, 23 February 2009 (UTC)
 * iirc pred season was broken so it triggered twice when orders were up, so it's not all that good now, still good though. Maybe add veriants for dshot, the bad player pugs run dusttrap instead. Oh and weapon of shadow is prefered over li ming on the rit. 134.109.89.1 19:12, 23 February 2009 (UTC)
 * that's coz mi ling sucks balls. and no1 with a brain runs it. And dust trap works against all the pug enemy teams that use wars/sins to attack your spirits, oh. and against the meta. which would be IWAY ..LJ..  19:18, 23 February 2009 (UTC)
 * So in other words, Pred Season was only used cuz of it's bugged interaction w/orders? Sry IDK cuz I only played IWAY recently w/similar setup as this page. Just seemed to me PS would be an OK fit here. - [[Image:Ins420sig.png]] 420 18:00, 24 February 2009 (UTC)
 * old iway was more focused on damage overload so pred season had overall more synergie. new iway wins more because of shutdown after some time.

When you use bull's strike, it will end battle rage, making you lose all adrenaline.

 * bull's strike is being discussed as an alternative in the warriors' bars, that's why the anon mentioned it. so saying it isn't in the bar(yet) doesn't make sense134.109.89.1 08:35, 24 February 2009 (UTC)
 * The anon sucks at inserting comments where they belong... And I don't think people run this with bstrike. 33% ims kinda does the caching of foes if necessary. -- -Ch  ao  s-   09:05, 24 February 2009 (UTC)

Add d-shot back into the oath ranger, it's too good for fucking with ele's and ps sins that camp you. Dust trap is nice but gl using that much if you're keeping QZ up. Also, consider using natty stride over whirling defense or at least list as alternative. Great mobility skill especially with 12 in wilderness. Zero 13:00, 24 February 2009 (UTC)
 * First point - down to preference tbh. i would ratehr have both as optional than 1 mainbar. As dsot does little say, against iway. Dshotting their spirits does nothing. And Whirling is better, and can eb kept up almost constant, and more blockign tbh &mdash; LukeJohnson  [[Image:LJ_BS_Sig.jpg|19px]] 17:17, 24 February 2009 (UTC)
 * iway still isn't that common and dshot wtfpwnz everything else(and dshot on warding still hurts), one could argue against dshot though that most people that run iway rangers can't really nail interrupts. 134.109.89.1 17:23, 24 February 2009 (UTC)

Wars wasted energy
seems to me like the warriors are wasting the effects of QZ, as well as their energy. maybe they should bring an attack skill with a moderate recharge (shortened by QZ) to use their energy?Hipowi 00:18, 3 March 2009 (UTC)
 * no--Goldenstar 00:27, 3 March 2009 (UTC)
 * QZ affects IWAY and "Fear Me!", there's no reason to bring worse skills just to have "more" synergy and less energy. -- -Ch  ao  s-   07:15, 3 March 2009 (UTC)

This is crap
At the end of this day this just doesn't have nearly the same pressure the pre-nerf steady stance / fear me! IWAY had. The Oath Shot is ridiculously easy to counter and a minor annoyance at best, PnH monk is usually fairly vulnerable and doesn't contribute to offense at all and the prism healers are vulnerable too when QZ doesn't stay up. If you have decent warriors it can work...but hey this is IWAY! I think this needs to be rethought as something with para healers and a different strategy for enchantment removal, or maybe it's time to give up on trying to bring back IWAY. It's lame, it's kinda fun (in moderation) and it brings back old memories but it just doesn't work anymore... Zero.Six
 * Meta builds are usually ones that can be picked up by pugs and can win 1-3 matches per streak. Good people can run it and do decently well. With 4 warriors spamming edenial, interrupts, 33% ims/ias constant, you dont need a pnh to add pressure, you need it to add defense. It may be weaker then the old steady stance version, but this meta is a lot of offense (the only defense usually being foes/grasping/tease) so this can roll teams if they stay up long enough.

Wild Blow
Put Wild Blow on one of the warriors instead of agonizing to counter the resolve most SH's are running now.

 * It is a little annoying that battle rage ends and you lose all adrenaline but with iway going it charges back up fast, and I'm only suggesting this for 1 warrior. When an ele nukes all the oath's spirits the moment they come up that does kill your pressure...and no e-denial is not an option since their attunement stays up and they have GoLE. 50%+ SH eles are running resolve now so I think it's worth countering since teaseway in particular relies on the SH being able to nuke.

 * they already lose enrgy when u dchop their skills etc, and you are spamming fear me, so the ele will end up running out of energy and won't be able to often use rodgort's and heats may sometimes be costly unless gole is up. so its an ok suggestion, but i would say edenial is enough, and you want to spam interrupts on everything up, and that 4 seconds is a long time to get br up when you could have just spammed your skills on every 4 hits it would have taken to get br back up. &mdash; LukeJohnson  [[Image:LJ_BS_Sig.jpg|19px]] 17:23, 10 March 2009 (UTC)

 * Correct me if I'm wrong, but Wild Blow doesn't actually end Battle Rage it just loses you your adren so you can't keep it up, so as long as you don't use Wild Blow just before BRage is gonna end anyway you should have long enough to charge it back up no trouble with the IAS from "IWAY!" and the +33% adrenaline gain BR gives you (plus the +33% IMS to catch kiters). 86.31.119.66 14:24, 5 April 2009 (UTC)

 * Correction - Good players use Bull's as they can land one 80% of the time and can kncokdown the foe for 3 seconds almost every 6 seconds with QZ. This is a lot of pressure, but less skilled players need "Fear Me! as it requires less skill to use, but takes much longer to apply the pressure. Good players can roll with IWAY. Most teams use "Fear Me!" because they can't. That is why i placed to skill bars for IWAYsExo Oo 11:40, 15 April 2009 (UTC)

Bulls is much better but w/e. Only reason for fear me is to fuck up the fire ele so after 3-4 mins he cant kill your spirits so you do super pressure. Its probably best to run a mix, but i doubt any IWAYers are gonna do something like that soon. Rawrawr Dinosaur 13:33, 15 April 2009 (UTC)

 * Heh, "Its probably best to run a mix, but i doubt any IWAYers are gonna do something like that soon". Nice to see people running two of each recently. Anyway Fear Me! under QZ *is* pretty heavy pressure if multiple people run it, since you're looking at the equivalent of ~1.5 pips of degen (assuming hitting enough to charge adrenaline quickly, double adrenaline from BRage, and that all Fear Me!s hit), at least when combined with NR and Tranq to ruin Channeling.

I don't care
If ranger is meta, basically as everyone knows what to do it's countered ALL of the time. The spirits are never alive for more than like 3 seconds unless against a terribad team. And it doesn't have much else going for it other than dshot in a four man rupting frontline. I vote to change it Exo Oo 13:41, 10 May 2009 (UTC)
 * To what, exactly? 86.27.95.41 13:51, 10 May 2009 (UTC)
 * I don't know. i've made my own IWAY, but its completely different. but it needs to be replaced with something better. and e/rts can be changed for monks, but that depends on wether you want to or not. just something which adds offense or defence instead of just spamming spirits that die Exo Oo 13:54, 10 May 2009 (UTC)
 * The spirits are kind of a big point of the build as it is atm, though. They replace direct enchantment removal, apply energy denial and make EP extra overpowered. Your main problem is people taking them down so much. 86.27.95.41 14:44, 10 May 2009 (UTC)
 * the spirits are never up. so therefore answer me "why have them?". Positioning still does shit Exo Oo 15:54, 10 May 2009 (UTC)

The thing is, the spirits are necessary. Without them IWAY won't score kills. It's the 3-4 seconds that QZ and NR stay up that lets you dchop guardian or SoA and score the kill that breaks the camel's back. Ranger is vital--Goldenstar 16:02, 10 May 2009 (UTC)
 * but you can still dchop shit without it. and a pd completely stops spirits Exo Oo 16:14, 10 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Yes but most people don't run pb b/c they're bad. It's worth keeping the ranger--Goldenstar 16:16, 10 May 2009 (UTC)
 * I still think putting something in to increase damage or something is better. Exo Oo 16:18, 10 May 2009 (UTC)
 * IMO you'd be better off trying to find a way to make the spirits live longer. You already have interrupt spamming and DShot to shut down fire eles, for example, but maybe more anti-caster, blind vs melee (Dust Trap or Mingson?) or even a Rt/R for spawning (not sure that's worth it though) or something akin to Spirit Boon Strike. The only problem is most of these ideas are bad :-( 86.27.95.41 16:22, 10 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Lol you don't have to waste your fire eles if you don't want to. just send a non-balanced-spiking frontliner to pressure ranger and kill all of his spirits. You can't make them last longer if you wanted to. Exo Oo 16:28, 10 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Yes you could but it probably wouldn't be worth it. If your spirit-spammer used Blind was Mingson, Signet of Binding or Signet of Creation, for example, you could easily toughen up your spirits or otherwise make it harder for enemies to kill them. The only problem is the time, energy, and (most importantly) skill slots you have to devote to keeping them alive versus how much damage they do and how much harder you make life for the enemy team. 86.27.95.41 16:36, 10 May 2009 (UTC)

The spirits actually stick for quite a while if you aren't completely terrible at the ranger bar. Just takes common sense, really. 82.9.18.53 16:30, 12 May 2009 (UTC)
 * lol no they don't. even if you're pro at dshotting shit and use glitches to stop projectiles they dont stay up long unless the other team is terribad Exo Oo 16:48, 12 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Thats a nice story. You can dodge interrupts really easily (natures renewal is 5 energy... on a ranger...) and the fire ele is also very easy to dodge. Theres nothing else that really counters the spirits, other than a war or derv coming up to kill them, but nobody does that because you end up putting them in a WaF and they waste ~1 minute trying to kill your spirits and then return to the team, and due to the whole massive iway defence thing, its just not worth it. 82.9.18.53 16:53, 12 May 2009 (UTC)
 * The spirits aren't that hard to take down, but it's true that the do soak up some enemy firepower even if they do die, which indirectly adds to your defense. They would be better if they stayed up, though, because keeping a frontliner out of the game for a few seconds or wasting a Searing Heat isn't as good as having enemy enchantments cast at half the speed and run out in half the time et.c. 82.3.246.41 17:14, 12 May 2009 (UTC)

 * Lol read more carefully, "wasting a Searing Heat" means that even if that enemy fire ele kills your spirit, he or she has used up a Searing Heat which could have been doing damage to your team, which is an advantage of having the spirits, whether big or not (and it's clearly not as big as the spirit's inherent bonus). And btw, DShot can only interrupt one skill at once, and most eles will have both Searing and Teinai's as well as Rodgort's et.c. and it doesn't go through walls. It doesn't mean that taking the spirits is a bad idea, though. 82.3.246.41 18:40, 12 May 2009 (UTC)

After the next update
Ether Prism got its recharge put up to 20, and Weapon of Warding now last 7 seconds I think on non-rits, and Weapon of Shadow got similarly nerfed, so what does this mean for the backline? Certainly they will now be less effective but are they just no longer overpowered or will they actually struggle to work? 86.26.56.226 09:58, 19 June 2009 (UTC)
 * I don't think it'd be affected that much cos of QZ? Spaggage  talk  10:46, 19 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Well yeah, under QZ, EP will take 10 seconds to recharge (it used to take 8, 'cos it round up I think) and though under QZ you'll also be able to keep WoW up on someone, it'll be less energy-efficient. Also, QZ can (and often is) easily killed. However I don't think it's going to make that much difference, it'll just lower the effectiveness a smidge. 86.26.56.226 15:41, 19 June 2009 (UTC)

 * I made a build with a TwT N/Rt backline once. It failed. Thing is the backline needs good energy management - N/Rts had soul reaping, E/Rt have Ether Prism. N/Rts also had OoS sometimes too. If you took proper Rits they would probably need OoS, but then they get runes too so their spells would heal for more, WoW would last longer (Spawning) and they would probably be able to get decent energy from OoS. It would also give you a secondary for /W or /A self-defense or whatever, but tbh prism healers will still probably work, just slightly less well. 86.26.56.226 10:22, 20 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Anyway just obsed a HoH match with an IWAY group (they lost 25-27-27 to Death Is Energy) and they had Rt/As, one with Bloodsong, one with Life, both appeared to have OoS, Spirit Light, MBaS, Spirit Transfer, WoW, WoS and Dark Escape. Interestingly they had one Earth Shaker and 3 sword wars, though ofc I haven't been in enough HA recently to know how much of this is meta tbh. 86.26.56.226 10:39, 20 June 2009 (UTC)

 * Well it was the first match I obsed with an IWAY team. A lot of people still seem to be using E/Rts though. 86.26.56.226 13:01, 20 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Rt/A does actually seem to be a good idea with spawning buff Exo Oo 13:53, 20 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Well tbh all you get from being E/Rt is prism (good but now slightly less good) and a bigger energy pool. As long as you have enough energy management to put you on a par with prism, Rt primary makes sense since you get resto runes and now +4% per spawning to weapon spell durations. And longer WoW means less casting (or just more WoW) which is either less energy cost or even more imba defence. 86.26.56.226 14:17, 20 June 2009 (UTC)
 * OK Frosty's put the Rt/As on the page but what about Weapon of Shadow? The ones I saw had it instead of PwK I think but regardless I would have thought it might have gone in there somewhere (especially now WoW won't work on Wars or Ghostly). Also just as a side note, could you feasibly have Rt/Mos with some hex removal too? Admittedly with PnH this doesn't seem necessary but depending these might see use in future builds. 86.26.56.226 15:01, 20 June 2009 (UTC)

Actually though OoS seems to be the new meta, why not take Spirit Siphon? Now that it's been buffed you can actually gain more energy from it than from OoS, with a little skill, and it frees up your elite slot - so you could take TwT, though bar space would be an issue. The main problem you might have with Siphon is that it won't work as well if two people use it, but at the very least you could have one OoS and one Siphon with, say, WoR, which it seems to be would be much more efficient. 86.26.56.226 14:44, 21 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Tbh the bar for rits only has one place left, MBaS, Spirit Light, Spirit Transfer, PwK, Spirit, Self Defence and then last slot is free, OoS is by far the best thing to take. Also, I do agree that Siphon Spirit is good but with 2 it could end up with confusion. -- <span style="font-family:mistral, cursive;">Frosty  <span style="font-family:mistral, cursive;">Mc Admin  15:38, 21 June 2009 (UTC)
 * I know, bar space is the big problem, but using an elite which could replace a skill on there might work. The only problem is that TwT can't replace PwK since though it's similar and gives a better armour boost, it doesn't heal the party when it ends. WoR could replace MBaS (in essence it's the same, but faster) but then it doesn't heal for as much. Possibly Preservation could replace Life or Bloodsong (it has a faster recharge than Bloodsong). I think part of the problem is just that the rit non-elites are so powerful and the elites aren't. Possibly Gladiator's Defense or Auspicious Parry could replace your self-defense? :-).
 * Oh wait, I got it, "YAA!" Rit healers! Cripple and debuff anyone who attacks you and snare the enemy backline too! 86.26.56.226 11:59, 22 June 2009 (UTC)

Did this last update actually make Rit healers viable due to longer weapon spells etc? Or am I just in shock and awe for seeing a rit primary healing backline being posted and accepted by the community? Ikimono "My beard is thick."  11:07, 22 June 2009 (UTC)
 * osorry, did you want a two monk backline with NR/Tranq? [[Image:Misery_Cow.png|19x19px]] <font color="#00dd00">Misery <font color="#00ee00">Says <font color="#00ff00">Moo   11:43, 22 June 2009 (UTC)
 * The Rit healers are actually no more powerful than they were. All the weapon spells got nerfed, and the spawning buff just counteracts that. In fact, depending on the exact attribute spread, most Rits will find that even their weapon spells are weaker (long duration ones like Brutal will last longer though). However, E/Rts, N/Rts and Anything-else/Rts are now weaker than before (especially with the Prism nerf) so these are better than they were by comparison. As Misery points out, however, it's the fact you have NR and Tranq which forces you to take a less powerful backline since it's more powerful than a monk one would be in this situation. 86.26.56.226 11:57, 22 June 2009 (UTC)
 * It's not that, it's just the shock of Rits being actually accepted as primary healers, that's all.-- Ikimono "My beard is thick." [[Image:Monk-Paragon-icon.png|24px]] 12:30, 22 June 2009 (UTC)

 * If you triggered the timer then that's probably. When you go towards the zaishen you will see a sort of extended platform before you go down the ramp, on the platform there is an eye which if you cross, the timer will begin.

Tactics warrior /w HB's?
If you're going to run a full HB iway, why not run a tactics warrior with charge and retreat like the old steady stance iway? This would accomplish a few things. First, it would allow the HB wars to drop their IMS for sun & moon slash (really good with HB). Second, it would allow the HB wars to replace sever artery with barbarous slice for moar damage since they wouldn't have a stance. Third, it would allow the PnH to drop fall back while increasing overall defense since charge and retreat will cover the whole party with 33% IMS almost all the time. You could also throw watch yourself on the tactics warrior to help against stuff like mathways that have little or no physical damage.

 * or, you could just switch out rush for 2 coppies of retreat on the hbs. only speedboost 90% of the time (18 of 20 secs) but 33% vs. rushs 25% and partywide instead of earshot like charge. Frees up barb. slash and 3 optionals on the team. FMK- 14:28, 11 August 2009 (UTC)
 * With QZ up, one retreat alone should be enough, and the other war could bring bull's or whatever. Two retreats would be safer though, and would at the very least allow for barb over sever, which is awesome. 86.26.103.165 22:30, 12 August 2009 (UTC)
 * That said, you would have to lose some points of Strength for some points in Tactics. You could use two runes though to get more benefit. 86.26.103.165 22:37, 12 August 2009 (UTC)
 * So are the bars gonna be changed or not?--Tyrael-- 12:42, 15 August 2009 (UTC)

 * Someone could just try it and see how it works. 81.105.65.18 17:00, 15 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Yeah I tried it and it works, got faster kills with this too--Tyrael-- 12:26, 23 August 2009 (UTC)
 * What's the point on charge if you don't abuse it by using a stance as well, taking rush is a lot simpler, all you are doing is saving space on the HB bar, but loosing space on the axe bar :/ -- <span style="font-family:mistral, cursive;">Frosty  <span style="font-family:mistral, cursive;">Mc Admin  13:53, 23 August 2009 (UTC)
 * We didn't use Charge but we did use retreat because it affects everyone so can be used to greater effect and frees up a slot on a HB bar so they can use barbarous, it deals a lot more dmg so thats win win--Tyrael-- 15:35, 23 August 2009 (UTC)

Yeah you're not benefitting by taking a stance as well but by taking barbarous as well. If you took 4 HBs (instead of 2 HB 2 BR) you would also get an extra slot on two of those HBs for something like SaMS, which is gr8 with HB. 82.3.235.183 16:47, 23 August 2009 (UTC)
 * /Agree, SaMS is awesome coupled with HB--Tyrael-- 17:56, 23 August 2009 (UTC)

Retreat sux though. what about if people move aroudn the map and your pets aren't dead? (And you shouldn't be dying too often) then it does jack all Exo Oo 14:50, 24 August 2009 (UTC)
 * If the two Retreat wars are near each other and at least one dead pet or ally, then they will both get the speed boost, which is all you need anyway (Rush only gives one of them that boost anyway). Also Retreat will give your backline a boost too which is a nice plus. There is a risk that if you're too far from a pet or if they haven't been killed yet, Retreat won't work, but tbh it's not that likely (depends a bit on map and other team(s) I guess) and even if you couldn't get it up for a short while it's not necessarily the end of the world. Just be brave and hope for the best. 82.27.225.250 16:11, 24 August 2009 (UTC)

Lol it's funny that now with the R/A Sway meta every popular build gets an update (balanced, hex, nightmare, etc...), but IWAY doesnt...lol--Tyrael-- 11:27, September 3, 2009 (UTC)

Another prism nerf
Does it hurt the build??--Tyrael-- 09:39, September 18, 2009 (UTC)
 * Meh, Eprism now gives 19 energy every 25 seconds, or 0.76 energy per second. That's a little over 2 pips of regen. Soyou're not going to bring it for lolenergy anymore. as anti-spike it's still fine though. I'm pretty sure no one brings a spike that's able to kill 4 times. I,mself, though would take OoS rits with Dark Escape as anti=spike instead now. Brandnew 09:54, September 18, 2009 (UTC)
 * You still see this used pretty regularly in HA. Unarchiving would probably be in it's best interest until it stops being used.--<font color ="Blue">Ikimono <font color ="Brown"> "...And my axe!" [[Image:Monk-Paragon-icon.png]] 00:25, November 17, 2009 (UTC)

 * lol, it kinda sucks in this meta though, sway eats it and hexway still rolls it, and to be honest since the prism nerf the backline isnt anywhere near as hard to wipe. The only reason it works is because those r9/12 ones like MiaM and EoW seem to wipe people in like a minute, which i dont even understand really Rawrawr Dinosaur 15:00, November 20, 2009 (UTC)

4 IWAY Warriors

 * Acquire a level 5 pet from the Zaishen Menagerie.
 * Lock your pets on the opposing teams Ghostly Hero so it will die quickly.
 * Use a longbow to gain adrenaline during the initial Zaishen Battle.
 * Use 1 Earth Shaker warrior and 3 Battle Rage or Hundred Blades or a combination of the two.

Take this frontliners and unarchive still works pretty good actually. QQ for me :D

Notorious BW 22:08, June 3, 2010 (UTC)

what about...


Optionals can be either Backbreaker or Earth Shaker.. Ok maybe any axe elite (whriling, eviscerate) will do as well, but its pussy. Also can take Tripple chop for some fine aoe dmg.. Cleave for general dmg is fine. Decapitate is.. ah well, the last axe elite so why not name it as well? <3 Optional can be any warrior elite, but my favorites are still ES/BB

Brave Spiker:

Its fun to play. Its more theorycraft, so I am not sure about the first statement. Is IWAY still being played btw?145.33.163.132 12:49, 28 June 2011 (UTC)
 * And ofcourse, Coward can be use on first 2 axe warriors. Instant ranged bulls strike is fun and can be used as lineback skill as well, making it extremely good utility82.72.102.207 17:53, 1 July 2011 (UTC)
 * Or you could run dervs. [[Image:AsuraSignature.jpg|15px]] Anvil God

New skill for the backline
Change the elite to Energy Boon?  Shadow  Talk  13:32, 4 February 2012 (UTC)
