When you go into the tournament hoping to make it to the hall of heroes and win a sigil or two, what type of group do you like to bring? Strategy seems to be changing daily nowadays, so I just wanted to start a thread where people could talk about group strategies, not just builds.

So, what do you like to bring? 1, 2 or 3 monks? Just one mesmer? Do you even bring a ranger (under-rated that they are) ?

When posting what type of groups that you bring (or at least listing what your perfect group would be) list the profession, then the role, and if there are more than one of that type of profession give them a number.

IE:

(1) Warrior Anti-Caster
(2) Warrior Protection
(1) Monk Healing
(2) Monk Healing
(3) Monk Protection Prayers
(1) Mesmer Caster-killer
(1) Ranger Interrupter
(1) Elementalist Damage

You can also just use abbreviations. Ready, set, post!

I never base builds around making it to the Hall of Heroes. I base builds around holding the Hall of Heroes for extended periods of time.

What do I want for that? 3 true Monks, with a fourth Necro/Monk with dais mopup. Lots of AoE nukage to help clear things out, and spike damage to knock out Monks healing heros.

In the specific situation of holding the hall, I prefer a Hammer Warrior to a Mesmer.

Basically I just want a ton of power healing and dias clearing action. You're planning for the short game here, not a long attrition battle.

Peace,

I was playing the map with the central altar in the not-so-pretty setting, and we held the alter, killed one team that came in, then the other team came in and had their 3 necros spam putrid explosion a lot. We all died pretty much.

Is that a viable strategy?

just wandering but are you supposed to defend your section of the map? or are you supposed to go out after the other people?
