This build tries to battle the other team 7vs7. The goal is to outpressure the other team with overwhelming physical pressure complimented by condition overload.
The two warriors do their DPS and use knockdown to help compliment the interruption. The rangers are also key components and need to use their interrupts wisely to shut down key defensive skills that the opponent tries to use. The paragon provides assistance to both offense and defense as well as applying pressure damage. GftE x2 will help increase the damage output.
Burning plays a key role offensively with its 7 pip degen and defensively with They're on Fire. Both the paragon and the Burning Arrow ranger can provide burning on demand to help relieve the pressure on the monks with They're on Fire.
The monk backline is a fairly standard backline.
The monk runner is used as not only the flag runner, but also the primary base defender. If he needs help (such as on a 5-3 split), then the Broadhead Arrow ranger is equipped with flag running skills to help stall their offense long enough for the remaining team to make a big offensive push with the numbers advantage.
