Still working on this physical build based around my ranger. Not the best, but has been successful in VQ most of Kourna, Jade sea area, and charr homelands.

Before anyone starts griping:
All heros have 580 - 620 HP
I know a Rit can run Spirit spam better, But my necro NEVER runs out of energy with this setup
Basically the minions and pet are my cannon fodder

tweaks would be appreciated
no i'm not going to run xxx-way everyone else is doing
No this really has no advantages over some other team builds, i just like rangers and paragons

Note: Khomet thanx for letting me steal your builds

Would drop rebirth on the monk tbh.

Don't need Bone horror, take Death Nova instead.

5 Resurrects are way too much. I only run 3.

Run forked arrow over dual shot, since you have not many enchants or hexes.

Not sure of the name but it's an anthem that gives you + damage on enemies over 50%, give that to a para.

Remove rebith, give monk some type of energy management, /mesmer inspiration with power leech is nice on heroes. do a 10/10/10/6 type of thing

Remove horrors and shambling, put death nova and bile on 5, change stats to chan-10, death 12+1+1, SR 8+1

You restore isn't much use at only 8 points, put restore to 12, chan to 10, SR to 8

Crossfire sucks imo in any build

4 go for the eyes is extremely redundant, you have two volleyers, run two max, even 1 will suffice since it has no recharge in pve

Same goes for find their weakness, chances are everything wont be attacking different targets, so deep wound will overlap, run two only.

Bring they're on fire, and try to fit a little more fire into build, burning finale perhaps? lots of anthems

Your build isn't energy intensive enuff to need scavenger imo

You have tons of ranged heroes, use ebon ward

Ever since buff of comfort animal, heal as one is useless in pve.

May as well throw anthem of weariness on a para for weakness spam

You don't have enuff adren skills to warrant anthem of fury

It's hard to bring a elite motivation skill that only removes 1-2 conditions, make the para a motivation or a ranger, not both

EDIT: Paragons still need work, but i tried to preserve what you were going for

input has been interesting.... will look into all this

i dont use bile or nova because i dont like my MM lagging so far behind the party, and dont feel like micromanaging. but i was already thinking of dropping at least 1 of the minion skills

thanx for all the input

Your monk shouldn't be WoH+D-kiss if you're packing 9+1 (or 9+1+1) heal... better off with gift of health.

gift is 96 to 114 (9 and 11 spec), WoH at best is 143 to 167... so just run Spirit Light at 12.

Maby replace the minions skills on your spirit spammer for Orders?

You'll lose a shield but you will gain some nice damage.

I agree with both of these, Animate Minions pumps out enough for suicide bombers. And about rezzing, the thing is it's not just a waste of real estate it's that with so many, your entire party will drop what it's doing to raise one hero and get killed. As a ranger I run one and give a hero another. It's very rare that I would ever die and it's only 3-4 seconds if I need to cover it. Wipes are not a bad thing, either; DP goes away. If you keep failing you need to change tactics or rebuild.

Who told you what I was doing?

I use a dervish and paragon, but Burning Arrow is the way to go with rangers. Leadership is set up perfectly for this strategy. BF is adjacent and with all the ranged attacks I'd stick with anthem. That alone might make BA a little redundant?
