Hexway is a PvP team build that features a variety of Mesmer and Necromancer hexes designed to shut down and weaken a team to make them easier to kill. There are numerous varieties of hexway teams with common damage and shutdown hexes including:


The hexes listed above are often used as cover hexes for each other, depending on the specific build. Other hexes are sometimes used specifically for cover purposes, often due to spammability or AOE coverage; these include:


Most of the hexes used in hexway are chosen to target the enemy backline and shut it down so the team can be beaten by a single melee player.

Many hexway teams also bring Toxic Chill or a Fire Magic Elementalist to provide additional pressure. Wastrel's Worry is also popular, as it forces foes into a lose-lose situation where they will take damage if they use skills but also take damage if they don't.

Orienting a team build around hexes can be very powerful as a team focusing on hexes can usually cast them much faster than the enemy team can remove them — some of them can even help complicate the removal process.
