Archive talk:Team - GvG Cake Split

Unless anyone has anything they want to change i'll slap a meta tag on later this afternoon--TahiriVeila 18:57, 23 January 2011 (UTC)
 * I think OG is the only guild that runs Blood Renewal and drops Aura Resto. Everything else looks fine tho.
 * Also, add Shackles runner as a variant. --Lemming 03:28, 24 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Makes sense since that's what nelson told me to change ^___^ --TahiriVeila 03:52, 24 January 2011 (UTC)

Bad split. Nowadays is mainteam: Dev, Snare, RC, WoH, Flagger and split team A/Mo with WoH, YAA sin, smiter or illu mes+mb+WC assa.--GWPirate 21:13, 14 February 2011 (UTC)

This should probably be called Split Bala or something. Frostels 01:03, 15 February 2011 (UTC)

It's called cake split tbh (though they usually run blackout cripshot instead of ilu mes). Mainabr the hammer war and this page is fine as is.--TahiriVeila 05:39, 24 May 2011 (UTC)

I'm glad to finally see a build up on this site not completely abusing the alleged "buffs" to Dervs. Despite some mediocre buffs to crappy skills, I don't think people realize Dervs just can't make up an entire frontline. They lack AL, rely on easily rupted skills (AoB), and are easy to shutdown. They don't have a large energy pool, either, so edenial is cake.
 * Wrong in every aspect. The buffs to dervish skills allow them to shit out pressure with very little talent. The change to mysticism allow dervishes to have more armor than warriors. The addition of adrenaline skills, the reduction in swing speed of the scythe, and the reduction in energy cost of enchantments from mysticism allow for easy energy management. If you ever have problems managing energy or getting your avatar rupted, you're doing something seriously wrong. So please keep your (uninformed) opinions to yourself.--TahiriVeila 05:33, 29 May 2011 (UTC)

In regards to properly adapting this to the current meta. I'd suggest archiving Archive:Team - GvG Ele Split and incorporating it into this page. Mainbar the hammer warrior and list the AoB derv as a minibar variant. Then make the last midline slot a choice between the cake-split mes and a mind blast ele with bflash + sig.--TahiriVeila 05:46, 29 May 2011 (UTC)
 * I prefer this to the suggestion you made on GvG Ele Split's talk page. Would we be changing this page to a guide on split builds, given that it would be embodying 2+ split builds at that point - or are were merely melding their styles of play onto the page (not that they're terribly dissimilar) and calling it a day? Aonsephonie 04:09, 5 June 2011 (UTC)
 * Both split builds could classify as "Balance" and both could classify as "Ele." For the record, I think "Balance" is the best name or it should be changed to something they both have in common i.e. "Sin Split 2011."


 * After figuring out the name: keep this page, delete the "ele split" page, and add an Invoke ele as a variant under the Illusion mesmer - just like what's already been done with the Hammer and Water bars. And then congratulations! You've successfully created a comprehensive page displaying the correct data for a strong GvG split validating this wiki's existence as a build database. Rikk Panda {a.k.a.

stuff
-1. I really dislike whoever keeps labeling every hammer warrior "Jatt Kittenstomper" instead of something descriptive such as "Dev Hammer." 0. Why are variant bars bulleted under equipment? That just looks dumb. 1. Cripshot shouldn't be in this build at all, even as a variant. 2. "Balanced split" really connotates R/N/E. If you're not planning on merging this into ele split just now, Cake split seems like the best thing to call it. 3. The mesmer doesn't run flesh. That's just abysmal on a split character. --Lemming 09:15, 6 June 2011 (UTC)

Variant SoD Monk Over RC
I've seen it run a lot. And it's strong [build prof=Mo/? pro=12+1+1 div=10+1][Reversal of Fortune][Shielding Hands][Shield of Deflection][Guardian][Mend Ailment][Purge Conditions][Holy Veil][Optional][/build]

Optionals/variants include Balanced Stance or Dark Escape/aura of stability over shielding. Rikk Panda {a.k.a. Benny Lava}   08:17, 6 June 2011 (UTC)
 * It's just a D# thing, isn't it? Or have other people been picking up on it? --Lemming 09:15, 6 June 2011 (UTC)
 * It's totally a divine thing. People are just bad at the game and copy the (joke) builds he runs to amuse himself and think they're good players for doing so.--TahiriVeila 13:17, 6 June 2011 (UTC)
 * I agree 100%. Aonsephonie 18:02, 6 June 2011 (UTC)
 * Currently i've only seen divine and ori running it. More people should use it though. Rikk Panda {a.k.a. Benny Lava}  [[Image:They're_On_Fire_Panda.jpg|19px]] 20:58, 6 June 2011 (UTC)
 * Eh I dunno. It's ONLY good if you're running cake split and you KNOW they other team is running trip frontline. Otherwise it's kinda shitty =\--TahiriVeila 18:39, 8 June 2011 (UTC)
 * It made a lot more sense when 3 Melee was definitively the best build out there. Aonsephonie 19:00, 8 June 2011 (UTC)

Jatt Kittenstomper
I highly approve of this naming convention 24.150.172.7 23:42, 17 July 2011 (UTC)

A cake split without an IoP mesmer is not a cake split. And IoP got smiter's booned.--Gungergong 05:54, 23 March 2012 (UTC)
