User:Zerris/Team - Infuriating IWAY

The Infuriating IWAY team is designed to put heavy pressure on teams with Adrenaline based builds and a utility Ranger with Infuriating Heat. It is a four person remake of the infamous IWAY team for Team Arenas, with a six person varient for Heroes' Ascent.

Equipment
Armor: Weapons:
 * Four Sentry's Insignias and one Stonefist Insignia.
 * Runes of Major Hammer Mastery, Major Strength, Minor Tactics, Superior Vigor, and Superior Absorption.
 * A Sundering Hammer of Fortitude with a "Dance with Death" Inscription.
 * A Flatbow.

Usage

 * Run up to attack the called target.
 * As soon as it charges, hit Flail if the target is crippled or standing still, and Rush if they're running. Each can be used as a cancel stance for the other.
 * Spam Enraged Smash on every hit. Due to Infuriating Heat, it will recharge instantly.
 * If you have Rush on and the target is running away, slow them down with Hammer Bash. It can also be used to interrupt Resurrection Signets.
 * Use Lion's Comfort to provide quick healing and IWAY for regeneration.

Equipment
Armor: Weapons:
 * Full Centurion's Insignias.
 * Runes of Major Spear Mastery, Minor Motivation, Minor Leadership, Superior Vigor, and Attunement.
 * A Zealous Spear of Fortitude with a "Strength and Honor" Inscription.
 * A Motivation Based Shield of Fortitude with a "Luck of the Draw" Inscription.

Usage

 * Attack the called target.
 * When people start taking damage, cast Mending Refrain on them.
 * Use Song of Purification and Ballad of Restoration as often as possible.
 * Use Signet of Synergy to heal people taking heavy damage. If you're taking damage, cast it on anybody else.
 * Always use Wearying Spear before Barbed Spear, so that Song of Purification will remove the weakness.
 * Use Wild Throw for extra damage and to remove annoying stances, especially evasion stances.

Equipment
Armor: Weapons:
 * Scout's Insignias.
 * Runes of Major Marksmanship, Major Wilderness Survival, Minor Expertise, Minor Beast Mastery, and Superior Vigor.
 * A Crippling Lowbow of Defense with a "Hail to the King" or "Life is Pain" Inscription.
 * A Crippling Recurve Bow of Defense wih a "Hail to the King" or "Life is Pain" Inscription.

Usage

 * This would be a good position for the most experienced member of your team, as it will be the Target Caller.
 * Use Natural Stride just before using Infuriating Heat to keep it from being interrupted.
 * Just before you finish casting Infuriating Heat, trigger Serpent's Quickness.
 * Maintain Infuriating Heat and Nature's Renewal. Try to keep them back so the enemy must run straight through the Warriors and the Paragon to reach them.
 * Use Dust Trap in front of the spirits to help keep them alive.
 * Call a Target.
 * The Recurve Bow is for use with Distracting Shot.
 * Use Distracting Shot to interrupt key skills and remove conditions from yourself. Resurrection Signet, Aegis, Blessed Signet, Healing Signet, and Troll Unguent are good examples of skills to interrupt.
 * Use Draw Conditions to keep blind off the Support Paragon.
 * Use Troll Unguent to heal yourself.

Varients

 * Draw Conditions and Nature's Renewal should be replaced in Heroes' Ascent.
 * Revive Animal, Resurrection Signet, and Savage Shot are good choices.
 * Remember to switch all points in Protection Prayers over to Beast Mastery.

Team Usage

 * At the begining of the match, all team members should pull out their bows and attack the closest enemy. This will make the pets run out and attack as well.
 * The other team is forced to either deal with four rampaging wolves in their face, or kill them.
 * If they do not kill them, just attack as normal, but without IWAY. Either way, you gain the upper hand, as the pets give a significant damage boost.
 * The Ranger should be the target caller, and should stand at the back.
 * The weakest link in the chain is the Ranger and their Spirit, as they both have less healing and less armor then the Warriors. Be prepared for a team to rush the Ranger.
 * All fighting should take place near where the pets died. If the other team tries to pull you away from there, wait for them to come back before re-engaging.

Varients

 * For Heroes' Ascent, add Sword Warrior (x1), Order of Apostasy Necro (x1), and Healer's Boon Necro (x1). Remove the Support Paragon (x1).

Usage
Use Sever Artery to maintain bleeding and add to the pressure.
