Notes: Here's the idea... Keep the running skills the same. They have proven to be quite effective. Then, we sacrifice the slows of the water and the hard res. The res wasn't used very often at all, and when it was it was often after the tide had turned in the wrong direction and the match was essentially lost anyway. The slows are somewhat replaced by the Ward v Foes, although not as effectively.
What we gain though is immediate flexibility and something we have been lacking quite often vs various builds- significant AoE damage. Now, I know the Rit hits all adjacent, but there's something lacking there- big flashy effects. Aesthetics aside, big noticeable AoE is great for moving people where you want them to go. Also, a GlyphSac Meteor Shower spells doom for NPCs at VoD.
With the fact that the runner is often not with the main party in mind, it's also possible to use the GLyphSac Meteor Shower each time he comes in to the stand. just how effective would that be in disrupting a runner as he makes a push on the stand, while walking through a Ward v Foes?
And... here's the kicker- if we find ourselves playing as a group of eight at the stand and we are in need of the AoE on a moer steady basis, we can either send a Warrior back (both have Sprint) or the Air Warden (if we do not face heavy melee) as secondary runners, leaving the Torch Bearer at the stand with LoD and his nukes.
