Flavor of the Month

The term Flavor of the Month, commonly abbreviated FOTM, refers to the currently most popular choice of PvP character builds. Most FOTM builds are many of the same types of characters.

Past Flavor of the Month builds include:
 * IWAY builds.
 * IW (Illusionary Weaponry) builds.
 * Air Spike, which required 5 Air Elementalists sporting Lightning Orb, Chain Lightning, Lightning Strike, and Enervating Charge or slight variations. This allowed people to make a character using those skills and quickly find a group.
 * Spirit builds - Teams consisted of primarily rangers and three monks that used a combination of ranged attacks, traps, and especially spirits such as Fertile Season, Frozen Soil, Nature's Renewal, and Quickening Zephyr. Spirit builds were used primarily to counter Air Spike builds.
 * Smiting builds - Usually consisted of a few primary monks and secondary monks for the rest of the group. Secondary monks used smiting prayers, in addition to their main character class.  Some skills used include Balthazar's Aura, Symbol of Wrath, Retribution, Holy Wrath, Shield of Judgment (elite), and Smite.
 * Minion Factory builds
