Guild Wars - State of the Game @ Official Site

This week's State of the Game article continues the in-depth look at split teams begun last week.

This second article in a series on split-team tactics addresses offensive and defensive tactics related to Corrupted, Imperial, Uncharted, and Druid's Isles.

Teams often decide to run a build dedicated to splitting because it can force poor match-ups with opposing teams who may not be, for whatever reason, as well equipped to split. A 6/2 or 5/3 offensive split can pose a mismatch against opposing base defenders, the flag stand team, or sometimes both. When this occurs, one of the split teams can overwhelm its counterpart, and force the opposition into reactive play.
