Build description
Well, alliance battles are about control points. Whoever has the most points for the longest amount of time is pretty much the winner, though if you have people who keep sacrificing themselves you might lose. The two warriors will be doing a chain charge, keeping the whole group moving at a 25% faster rate until we reach a destination. That destination will almost always be a control point, and all the damage skills on the warrior's bars are how we clear out said control points. Hamstring is a snare, because, well, we want to avoid direct combat most of the time. Snares help us get away if we need to, and keep people from running if we do fight. The build is fairly energy-intensive, so dropping savage slash for another adrenaline attack skill (such as sun-and-moon slash) might need to happen. Gladiator's armor with knight's boots is the recommended setup, and with the new armor crafters in cantha you don't need to have the ugly look that goes with glad's

The mesmer stops pursuit, simple as that. With a number of long-lasting snares, he can easily slow 75% of an enemy team. If, on one of out travels between control points, we find a group that starts to tail us/snare us/attempt to kill us, then this guy falls back and slows them down, degens them, makes it clear we are not going to stop and fight, but are going to make it hard to keep up with. Recall allows the mesmer to do all this, and then return to the monk's side at will. This character will, in most cases, not kill anything. What he does do is anger people to the point of stupidity, and further the mobility of our group in relation to an enemy group.

Lastly, the monk. Of all the characters this is the only one with a fairly odd build, so I'll try and go into a little more depth and explain what his job is. If you remember, this build is not about dueling it out with every team we come across. If we can we will avoid combat, only fighting at control points and when we have no other options. Since the build lacks a huge offense however, battles could be a bit drawn out. As such, a more traditional setup (like boon prot) would be less effective, due to high energy costs. This monk is designed with efficiency in mind, and that is what he tries to produce.

First, Vigorous Spirit. This skill provides the warriors with some healing during combat, but more importantly, it is in here to power Healing Light's energy return, making Healing Light a 2-energy 104 point heal. Ethereal light is way more efficient than Orison of Healing, but costs and casts in the same time. The downsides? Easily interruptible and a 5 second recharge. Still, since we will be attempting to avoid combat, this skill should work very well. Mend Ailment is self-explanatory, we need condition removal. Same with Inspired Hex. Healing seed on one of the warriors during an assault on a control point should lessen the amount of healing needed considerably, and will help when attacking control points that have fast-attacking enemies like warriors. Signet of Rejuvenation is a 60-point heal on a target doing nothing, and a 110 point heal on an attacking/casting target. Unlike signet of devotion however, it casts in one second.
