Introduction

DoA Monkway is an off-meta tactic currently in development. Along with other teambuilds used by TFZ, it is designed to provide a fun alternative to standard DoA tactics. The core principal of the team is to only bring monks, with their roles primarily based around monk skills. This results in a very different experience for tanking, spiking, and backline. Needless to say, this presents a greater challenge than a casual run. Realistically, these tactics aren't expected to ever achieve a fast time - their point is just to keep things fresh.

Overview

Useful hints/tips

• Since the spike skills all have fairly long cooldowns, if a spike goes poorly, you'll need to seal/pstone, and pray it doesn't happen again.
• Nobody has Mistrust, so use YMLaD against all dangerous casters.
• Remember to reapply your Lightbringer title after receiving bonds.
• Unless you're very low on energy, spike on your shield set so you don't die.

Tactics

City

• 1st outer - Standard spike
• Wall Dont waste your energy on Balth aura. Pay attention to the Sus to avoid getting knocked down on your long-casting spells. Dont use YMLaD on the Tuk's sp Castigation signet is more likely to proc for e management. Leave the last Mank alive.
• 2nd outer - Standard spike, but communicate with the team to ensure there is enough energy across the team to ensure it is a successful spike.
• 1st inner (Right) - The TK will do this pull with the use of Spell Breaker, jumps and seed. The SB should place EoE in cast range (but not aggro range!) for an EE target back up the cliff.
• 2nd inner (Left) - The Tank will do this pull, spike normally.
• Jadoth - Jadoth is pulled inside city by the Tank as there is no Veil split. Don't delay the spike too much as the tank's Spell Breaker timing means s/he will be at risk of being interrupted.

Veil

• 360 Tank pulls the left side and TK pulls the right side. Insert other useful comments here (e.g. eoe placement)
• Ranger Lord insert splits here and key items of note
• Derv Lord insert splits here and key items of note
• Monk Trench/Lord
• Mes Trench/Lord
• Ele/Necro Lord
• 3-3 Right side
• 3-3 Left side

Gloom

• Entrance TK pulls mobs away blah blah

etc

Tank

Build

Since you have Armor of Earth, you can freely pop a cupcake and still run forwards without breaking any aggro.

Role

• Pull the left hill of 360 and wall all 6 waves.
• While the rest of the team does the underlord hills, wait at the NPCs and take the quest.
• After derv hill is done, pop the Gloom trench. The IAU will have Recall on you and will pull away the front pop, so you don't get any aggro. Maintain Recall range so the IAU can glitch the monk trench pops. Then go down the trench and help pulling out the lord. Once the lord is in position to be spiked from the hill, wait for the spikers to arrive and help them kill it.
• Wall for the tendril spikes.
• You'll have full bonds for cave. Instead of triggering cave yourself, pull the enemies aside so the bonder can trigger and freely exit cave. Then you can do cave as usual. The team will take the fleshes so you don't get bodyblocked.
• After cave, the IAU is the quest runner. You just provide a Recall target to get back out of cave, a HoS target to get down to the start, and a Recall target to get back to the team quicker.
• In first room, Spell Breaker the TK for the first spike.
• In second room, Spell Breaker the bonder to keep the team alive.
• In third room, ball the titans against the rock. When the first wave dies, EE out of the ball and run with the team.
• In fourth room, pull the second wave (dementias) into the team and help wall. Do all the other pulls as normal.
• As you don't have Recall, exiting fifth room is messy.
  • While the team is spiking Fury, stand on the chest so you can take your gems first.
  • Once you have your gems, pull the enemies to the south to clear the chest.
  • When everyone has taken the chest, run to City. The TK will wait at the exit to bodyblock the enemies with Recall and Spell Breaker.
• Do both outside City pulls, left inside, and Jadoth.
  • The spikers will leave something alive on the wall before spiking, so you can get in position to jump over the wall when the gate opens. The IAU will HoS off you, and you can EE over.
  • Since nobody is splitting to do the first wave of 360, you can pull Jadoth into City.
