Curse

I've been thinking about this for a while now, since ursan came there haven't been much use of other groups (This is not a QQ-thread), in FoW,DoA and other highend HM stuff.

But my question is; if you don't run ursan, and instead running a synergised team (Warrior,monk,necro,ele) what would you bring as the last spot?

Paragon, Dervish, Mesmer, Ritualist, Ranger, Assassin

Thanks =)

Edit; Added ranger and assassins.

Paragon fo' sho'

One of my fellow heroes.

Really, I dont play ursan and its hard to get a group that it aint ursan, os many time i resort to one of my heroes.

ill prolly take paragon

If you got a warrior in your party I'll go for a ritualist restoration/channeling.

another necro. Or maybe an imbagon

Paragon players are always useful, take them as an imbagon (see paragon forum/EVERYWHERE) and then a couple of your players could do away with support and focus more on damage. If the para takes [["Fall Back!"] aswell then you'll get the whole area finished in about 1/3 of the time.

Although many would argue that the imbagon is as broken as ursan, but I think that a [[Cruel Spear] para is just as worth the slot.

Me as a paragon, with Cruel Spear, TNTF, and SY. Who needs that crappy Imbagon build when you have Frenzy and decent healers? (And half a mind when and when not to use Frenzy)

upier · Jul 02, 2008, 01:54 PM // 13:54

I'd start by kicking the ele.

Jetdoc · Jul 02, 2008, 01:59 PM // 13:59

Paragon is a no brainer.

Cool, leave out Ranger and Assassin? I would take a Ranger.

In the case of a full build, I would go with...

Warrior (D-Slasher)
Warrior (Earth Shaker)
Dervish (Wounding Striker / AoM)
Ranger (Magebane)
Ele / Rit (Mind Blaster with Splinter Weapon / Rit Resto Channel hybrid)
Paragon / Necro (DA / Imbagon / Cruel Spear / Orders)
Monk (WoH Hybrid)
Monk (WoH Hybrid)

KILLING STUFF GOGOGO!!!

How about ditch Frenzy and take the strongest IAS you can get for a Paragon, which is Aggressive Refrain?

Nessar · Jul 02, 2008, 02:20 PM // 14:20

Paragon most likely or maybe the rit for weapon spells...

jiggles · Jul 02, 2008, 02:22 PM // 14:22

rangers and assassins are balanced?

lolz, news to me

makosi · Jul 02, 2008, 02:22 PM // 14:22

Paragons with "SY!" and "TN2F!" are next on the list of retarded button-mashing to Ursan. I like to laugh at the anti-Ursan guilds who abuse these Paragon builds and claim superiority.

kostolomac · Jul 02, 2008, 02:35 PM // 14:35

Most likely imbagon , TNTF spear para or a splinter/warmonger rit ( I suppose you have a ranger in group already?). Mesmer if the other roles I mentioned are there and you need interrupts and/or more hex removal with some more utility.

Dervs, Rits and Paragons are balanced? lolz news to me

Depends so much of my group setup and where we're heading... yet I rarely run the good ol' balance group. Last partially human groups I had, I wound up with 3 paragons, SS necro (myself), a hybrid rit, PD mes, a water nuker... I'd run melee heroes more often if they had decent AI, although I do take Devona in EOTN areas (KDs are FTW). So if I run with a warrior, a sin or a derv they're human 90% of the time.

- Paragon in general. Good buffs, decent attacks if needed, can set it up as an expelagon if needed (they come in handy!).

- Derv if I need holy damage and something to "forget" about (Menlandru derv).

- Anti-whatever mesmer depending on the area. I usually ran with Dunham instead of Orion in my H/H Prophecies vanquishing. Or I'm the interrupt mesmer (interrupting is ftw).

- Rits come in handy if I wanna run something "different" than the traditional 2 monks setup, although if I run with real people I'll generally have a rit by my side =]. He plays hybrids BTW.

Along with that, I'd kick the healing monks too. Then take an MM necro, SS necro, 2 Resto necros, Battery necro, Prot monk, DSlash+"SY!" warrior, and an Imbagon. Maybe replace the Imbagon with another Resto necros if I can't get one.

distilledwill · Jul 02, 2008, 02:42 PM // 14:42

I dont think a team could be called "balanced" if there weren't a spot in it for each profession.

Squishy ftw · Jul 02, 2008, 02:44 PM // 14:44

Ditch the ele
Ditch the necro
Add some dervish/rit/paras

BTW, I hope you're not talking about tank 'n spank when you mention 'balanced' ?
