Because your team is slow and not aggressive enough, that the only way you can speed up the game is to lure and aggro as much as possible yourself.

While people are killing off the last two or three foes, you can run ahead (safe in the knowledge that GDW will prevent their deaths) and bodypull or bow.

About the ER tanking discussion....

Look closely...who was tanking Dhuum?

Would Discordway, Mesway and HB/UA work?

Dzjudz · Mar 02, 2011, 10:32 PM // 22:32

Well it seems we can try out all our new builds tomorrow

Zanagi Kazuhiko · Mar 02, 2011, 10:40 PM // 22:40

Planning to run sabway, ER, Panic, spiritway

I'm rather flabbergasted at the amount of people that are going to go heavy on Discord, especially considering how little real synergy it has compared to what can be done with seven heroes.

Personally I will probably go something in the lines of one or two Smite/Protter monks for boosting my Warriors damage as well as hex/condition removal and decent overall damage output, at least one necromancer (curser and/or MB most likely), some kind of AoE healing (Dwaynas derv perhaps, or a UB or HB monk with Dwayna's Sorrow if I go with a MB), one or two ritualists (either spirit spammer and/or restoration, depends on the area), a mesmer of some kind (Panic or Keystone most likely) and perhaps a second frontliner assuming the update makes melee heroes usable.

Dzjudz · Mar 03, 2011, 12:32 PM // 12:32

Well now with Mercenary heroes it might be possible to create a 7 necro hero team?

Yes... Although what you intend to do with so many necros, I have no idea.

Btw - are we going to start a new thread tonight? Or change the title of this thread to something present tense?

Also - with mercenary heroes: 6 paragons, 1 dervish orders spammer, 1 monk.

Why Dervish? What can a Dervish bring to the table that the Necromancer primary not? You can do N/Mo or N/Rt for heals or prots with better energy management. (Mysticism does not affect non-derv enchantments.) I'd personally take OoV for some more healing and an MB (anti synergy with OoV, but the odds are you won't have DN cast on you)

Would like to fit in a 2nd res somewhere though ..

Xenomortis · Mar 03, 2011, 08:56 PM // 20:56

A res can go in place of any of the following:
They're on Fire
Fragility
Epidemic
Wandering Eye
SoLS (on both Necs)
Icy Veins
Weaken Armour
Holy Veil
Signet of Rejuvenation
Spotless Mind

Although a res is ill-advised on the Monk; I simply used this as an opportunity to pick out skills I think are bad choices.

Belzebu · Mar 03, 2011, 09:26 PM // 21:26

I think I'll go with:
1 Me: R/Rit Barrage(may change to R/P BM build later)
2 Olias: N/Mo mm
3 Livia: N/Rit SS
4 Xandra: Rit/? SoS resto
5 Razah: Rit/? SoGM
6 Gwen: Me/? Panic
7 Tahlkora: Mo/Me HB healer
8 Kahmu: D/? kinda tank/condition spreader <- trying yo figure out a good Dervish build, any tips?

Or I may go as:
4x R/P BM build
2x P/R BM build
1x N/Mo mm
1x Rit/R SoS resto (with a pet to increase the lulz)

7 pets + spirits + minions = zerg rush

I rolled my head on the keyboard today.
Was fun shit, I did it because I could because my heroes did everything.
3 Avatar of Dwayna dervishes, and an ER prot and it was LoD on steroids.

I'm interested in your Dwayna builds. I'm having a hell of a time sticking to any that I've made.

distilledwill · Mar 03, 2011, 11:24 PM // 23:24

I was thinking of a dwayna team too. With a N/Rt to deal with conditions/spam orders.

3 Dwayna's
1 Order Necro
1 ER prot/infuser
2 Paragons - whatever you want.

ensoriki · Mar 03, 2011, 11:54 PM // 23:54

Don't mix the Dwayna's with Discord.
That gave me terrible results

Jerec The Raven · Mar 03, 2011, 11:57 PM // 23:57

I think I'll take two mes. One VoR and one ineptitude, this really rolls through squads.

distilledwill · Mar 04, 2011, 12:07 AM // 00:07

Having got out there and tested it - this is what I was running. The builds need a bit of tweaking - but it powered through the HM WiK mobs.

ensoriki · Mar 04, 2011, 12:39 AM // 00:39

Aura of the lich is just a boss skill with dervishes, your dervishes can basically perform blood of the master for all of the minions with no health cost.
Before the update fitting it all in with only 3 hero slots wasn't doable but now.. pfft.
Level 21 minions are tank, with the dervishes who are also on the frontline dropping aoe heals (mostly whirling charge) It's all good.
Couldn't get it to flow with Discord though.
