Guild Wars: State of the Game 12/11

This latest State of the Game feature covers the humorously named 2008 RAWR Cup. The RAWR Cup is sponsored by the guild Rebel Rising and website GuildCafe. 72 Guilds battled it out in a tournament for great prizes such as a new 22" widescreen LCD and a G9 Laser Mouse.

Some of the action:

At the beginning of the match it appeared that [RIP] would have a significant build advantage at VoD because they were running two Melandru Dervishes and two Elementalist/Ritualists with Blinding Surge, Splinter Weapon, and Ancestors' Rage. The area of effect damage provided by these four, coupled with that of a Energy Surge Mesmer, seemed to point to a certain win at VoD, if not before. [KK] countered with a relatively balanced build that included two Warriors, a Defensive Anthem Paragon with "Shields Up!" and "Watch Yourself!", as well as a Mesmer and Elementalist/Ritualist that were similar to their counterparts on [RIP].
