I'll have to watch this a few times to work out what the hell is happening, but as the thread says great editing. :)

And they didn't suck, they pwned.

Thread here
Edit: This link no longer works - see fourth post in this thread for new link.

Short spoiler: if you absolutely detest Michael Jackson. 'Thriller' is the sound-track.

Brought a smile to my face anyway. Thought I'd share.

Edit: Almost forgot. It's ~52Mb. Zipped WMV.

So far as I can work out the skills on the bar are:-

1. Awaken The Blood (Blood)
2. Feast of Corruption [Elite] (Curses)
3. Desecrate Enchantments (Curses)
4. Shadow Strike (Blood)
5. Parasitic Bond (Curses)
6. ?
7. Arcane Echo
8. Res Signet

Now obviously they don't all have the same spells.
However, I suspect Feast of Corruption is held by several of them.

The team that bunched up on the necros and who were all killed in one shot, were probably hit by multiple simultaneous FoC which then spread to all nearby attackers. Ouch.

Desecrate Enchantments would have been painful in such a situation too, assuming they were enchanted by a protection monk say (e.g. Aegis)

Note the combo of Arcane Echo, FoC - which gives another FoC for a further hit. FoC is heavily used here.

Very interesting.

One thing that surprised me is the high level of Soul Reaping. I noted that Energy went up about 10 on a kill. Great if kills are quick, but I've never done PvP with a necro so wondered if it was a lame primary attribute. Perhaps not.

As luck would have it, Dark Swan is a Ne/Me :)

Must go capture FoC!

Checks: FoC => Maw The Mountain Heart - Dreadnought's Drift - Wurm

OMG. Dreadnoughts Drift is MAD. I went there with Wossname and henches. Very highly populated and deathly!

My brain hurts from trying to work out the amount of damage 6 necro using Feast of Corruption are doing to the opposing team. Maxed out it does 80 damage to the target & the adjacent foes also take that damage, so if the 2 necro's pick 6 different targets plus the adjacent foes if all grouped close enough would get hit by the other necro attack so would they get 80x6 damage (480 damage? or is it more) plus the 40 health stolen for each attack = Major OUCH!!!

Well it looks like the gwonline server has lost or re-referenced the thread link I took a note of, so the link in the original post no longer works :(

So I have decided to upload the movie to my site for anyone who is interested.
It is available from this page.
