Curse

I have been generally using the sabway heroes but I am thinking about branching out and using other heroes more than just the 3 necros.

Not sure which one I will keep >_> I like the MM and the SS necros.

What about yous, what heroes do you commonly use?

distilledwill · Jul 05, 2008, 07:30 PM // 19:30

Commonly, I do run with a modified sabway, although it changes depending on who I'm with and where I am. Often I'll let my bro run Sabs and I'll take 2 Paras and a Signet Mes.

I even occasionally branch out into monks if I'm feeling random.

Ive been doing tonnes of hero battles recently so I'm getting to know the heroes individual levels of durability and what kind of pressure they can handle.

Necroes, Paragons, Ritualists and rarely Monks. On Paragon, Dervish ordergon. And elementalists.

In NM sabway with a SF hero instead the curses necro , in HM sabway all the way.

MisterT69 · Jul 05, 2008, 07:41 PM // 19:41

sabway, sometimes i substitute MM w/razah, i also do 2 paras+orders dervs. That's always fun. and sousuke and zhed when I feel like it

Mahanaxar · Jul 05, 2008, 07:47 PM // 19:47

Usually 3 necros, but I swap them often, especially in Hard Mode.

Examples of heroes I've used lately:

[Norgu for Kathandrax;OQBDAowTOFgMgy/AwB6BxNBA]

[Dunkoro;OwYT02nC1RjsRubT/Nd9IggMAA]

[Sousuke for Frostmaw;OgVDMZycOqOuKTLDaBSFIDBA]

[Zhed;OgNDoMnfO0txavAZUPCI4CBA]

[Margrid for Ooze Pit;OgEUUNbez8GL+xqmrFn2bWAA]

[Anti-melee Vekk;OgVDEJycS3AcDgDLgIDrAhDCAA]

[Ogden smiter;OwUTMQHD1xkY9rnLkHAe1lwRAA]

miskav · Jul 05, 2008, 09:03 PM // 21:03

2 signet/smite mesmers and a smiting support monk n_n

-Lotus- · Jul 05, 2008, 11:34 PM // 23:34

Ive been in love with Emos using zealot's fire and ether renewal to spam ally-based smites and heals lately.

Triple discord or triple R/P on my necro

Rit smiter + smiter's boon monk + Minion bomber with my sin

rick1027 · Jul 06, 2008, 08:33 AM // 08:33

well melee take the shelf i never use them unless the mission requires them. i generally switch back and forth depending on the mission or area. i beginning to like the three necro bunch sort of an offspring of sabs but with a different twist. and for the henchies depends on where i am i really like sologon from nightfall and the mesmer from the kurzick side and the archer from the luxons herta is nice to have at times when you can but otherwise its usually caster types or rangers

BigDave · Jul 07, 2008, 09:10 AM // 09:10

With my Rit I pretty much go everywhere with these 3, with a few small tweaks here and there depending on what i'm facing.

[Mo/Me Healer Interrupter;OwUTMwGD1Ju67+dZkpfGY0hGBA]
[N/Mo Minion Bomber Prot;OANDUslfOL1qAeANUVnJBk6B]
[E/N Melee Shutdown Nuker;OgRDcYysOnCm2O0O8JeFwiUB]

[healing whisper] on the monk works well for me because i generally use all casters so they are fairly close together. Sometimes i switch it for [patient spirit].

For areas with nasty conditions i'll swap [signet of lost souls] and [reversal of fortune] for [infuse condition] and [foul feast] or [draw conditions] (note that Foul Feast works the same way as Draw Conditions but with a higher HP gain and gains energy aswell).

For areas with a lot of KD's (Jotun's, Giants in tyria, etc..) i'll fit [ward of stability] on the ele bar somewhere.

I find that melee is pretty much shut down completely long enough to do some serious damage to the enemy group. Ele damage is also reduced and the monk stops a lot of powerful nukes from hitting ([power return] is great in PvE

)

I also pack [ebon battle standard of honor] on my own bar pretty much all the time. The damage increase it gives to DoT nukes is quite spectacular. With a couple of other DoT nukers in your group (Cynn and Herta are fine) things just drop dead in seconds. Especially if you hit them with [weaken armor] for some nice AoE cracked armour to increase the damage further.

The only thing that poses a threat is heavy AoE casting damage but that's a problem for most groups anyway. Just gotta spread out a bit.

odly · Jul 07, 2008, 10:38 AM // 10:38

Most of the time (when playing with H/H) :

Olias (JB - extinguish + dark fury if I'm on my paragon or warrior)
Suzuki (SF-Healparty-Dwayna's Sorrow)
Zhed (SF-Prot spirit-Aegis)

+ sword, heal, prot and interupt henchmen.

DarkSpirit · Jul 08, 2008, 07:59 AM // 07:59

By the way, I find the dual MM with Barbs/MoP combination to be really unfair to the monsters even in HM. I almost feel pity for them.

I really do think you should swap out the res for Burning Finale on the Paragon.

I myself just roll with Sabway. Abusing Soul Reaping while it's abusable is awesome.

You should try out the dual MM build, it is so ridiculously overpowered. Especially if you add a Curse necro with Barbs, MoP, and Splinter Weapon.

Discordway, thats all I need with my necro 4xDiscord=DEATH ;D

Discord doesn't have enough meat shield for protection or kill as fast as dual MM.

Barbs+MoP+20 minions is just incredible. They remind me of piranhas.

Taking resurrection skills is down to personal choice.

If you think you'll often lose party members, take one.
