Cryway is a PvE team build consisting of many casters using the skill Cry of Pain to deal enormous, armor-ignoring AoE damage in a very short period of time. At its best it is a powerful spike, but even without coordination it is a reliable and effective strategy for crowd control. Most often, such teams are assembled in Umbral Grotto for farming the Vloxen Excavations dungeon. They are also popular in the Domain of Anguish elite area.

Because Cry of Pain is linked to the Sunspear title track, it can be used with equal effectiveness by most Mesmer secondaries. This flexibility is another reason for its popularity.
