hi guys

Been playing for a while now (w/mo ) and ive just got to the chantry of secrets in nightfall and come across the fissure of woe and underworld entrances. im a bit of a hero/ hencher by nature and i have tried both quickly but got my a** kicked in both. could someone give me just a rough hero team build they have been successful with in fow and uw? thanks in advance

Right?
Me and my brother cleared both easy as pie with just Heroes.

FoW was either 6 SF Eles and 2 Monks, or 5 SF eles, a MM and 2 Monks, both work.
We just spread a few utility wards amongst the heroes, and the Fissure exploded.

UW was a touch harder, but a similar set up.
Me and my bro', as the human players, ran B-Surge Air eles, then we took 2 Monks, Razah as a Restoration with a couple of defensive spirits, then 3 Savannah Heat Ele heroes with a Deep Freeze thrown in.
Again, the Underworld exploded.

cool, thx for the info

but i was looking at more like a party of 4 (me and 3 heroes ) can it even be done? ive seen solo builds on the forums so i assume it can be done by 4

Yes, it is possible.

It would take an extreme amount of multi-tasking and babysitting for the heroes.
In terms of flagging them, de-flagging them, casting specific spells at specific times.

You essentialy could do it using a variation of 2 man tank builds used for both UW and FoW. However, this only works if you use the monk tank builds that utilize low armor or low health that helps keeps mobs on them. The idea is a 55 tank or spiritbond tank could gather a mob, get pre-SpellBreaker'd from a hero, and as soon as the mob settles on the tank, the heros get deflagged and can help take the rest of them down.

The fastest and maybe most efficient setup would be::
- 600hp SpiritBond/SpellBreaker monk (any tank variation)
- SmiteBonder monk
- SS necro or shutdown Mesmer for enemy healer shutdown
- 3rd monk for 2nd SpellBreaker, and as backup healer when the party needs to run and recover

Tried and true really, but as warrior primary your rolls for a party setup may be a bit less easy. You could try doing the initial tanking, but with high armor, your heroes would prolly pull aggro off of you all the time...

But you COULD try:
- Warrior (any tank variation, stance tank, OF tank, etC)
- SS and mesmer -OR- 2 SF eles
- HB/HP monk

This setup i would NOT recommend for HM, the other group build could easily do HM. Idk, i hope i at least gave you some ideas. GL!

cheers
