Curse

So, I recently started GW up again and I pretty much just use the setups before 7h was put into the game. I vq and do frostmaw's HM easily with this setup but I'd like to be able to do FoW/UW/Kathandrax/Rragar's HM with this

Just wanted some comments/help on this setup. I also micro alot of the hero abilities.

For my bar, the empty slots are usually beast mastery stuff or I'll throw in throw dirt/antidote signet/filler. I've been thinking of replacing the discord with an SS necro, Mesmer and Para hero. But the discord doesn't seem very appropriate for some reason.

I frequent between SoS spam/infuriating heat/barrage on my ranger.

id drop the rez on the emo, put it on one of the damage eles

also the ward against elements wont have any effect if you're keeping SY! up, maybe ward of stability instead?

I'd change your 2 eles for 2 mesmers, 1 panic and 1 inept. The damage of eles on HM is laughable, where as mesmers have tons of armor ignoring damage.

Your Necro/Rit is using 4 single target heals, I recommend dropping Ghostmirror Light and Soothing memories are probably the most unnecessary as MBaS keeps conditions off the team (and its heal is stronger then the former skills) and Spirit Light is your Big Heal, combined with an ER protter and the other Discord, your not going to have much of a problem.

Barbs on Team Member 6 looks dubious, right now your running a 4 attribute split, I am assuming (since you didn't post attributes) that it is running minimal curses to keep Shadow of Fear up for a decent length, while attributing remainder pts into SR, maxxing Death and placing a reasonable point expenditure into Resto.

With low curses Barbs doesn't really do much for your physicals, and even then its 2 second cast is prohibitive to spamming discord, keeping Recovery up, Healing when necessary, raising minions and casting shadow of Fear. I'd recommend Enfeebling Blood as it is a quick application of Weakness with a very meagre investment into curses and its cost is virtually free.

I would consider running Signet of Lost Souls on a few of your necros so they can maintain their energy since the SR limit can be easily reached, leaving your backline with a potential deficit in energy.

Your Ele heroes are virtually leeching off the discord team, I would consider running duo Mesmer or even a mesmer and rit (for spirit support). Panic is very powerful and adds another hex to fuel Discord.
The Ritualist offers SoS, Bloodsong, and perhaps additional hex/condition primers using a secondary prof. The Rit can also provide some weapon spells for the physicals.

Your Warrior is sporting Return, heroes unlike humans, do not use the skill intelligently, melee heroes already have a justifiable tarnished reputation for being bat sh!t stupid when it comes to attacking and staying in the fray, the last thing you need is for the frontliner to shadowstep out, and break mob attention for a dinky application of crippling.

My 2 cents

Thank you for the suggestions everyone.

I've done a few changes so far.
-Fixed the three discord necros' builds around a bit. But instead of having an mm/prot, i made it go /Rt and channeling.
-Ditched two earth ele's for two mesmers. Making them run Panic and Psychic Instability.
-Put my bar back to disc caller. Koss does fine running around without infuriating heat up.
-Considering switching out Koss for something else.
