Curse

I'm curious as to why the hex builds died out, so I decided to make my own (also because I heard they are MUCH easier to play/organize).

A few things that immediately come to mind:

Drop defile or descrecrate from your curse nec and replace with Faintheartness.

Who's running the flag? You have no speed boosts bar Rush which obviously isn't suitable.

The Taint is going to struggle with energy with 3 15pt energy spells and no energy management.

ED > MoR for monk's energy management

You have no soft rez - perhaps a rez chant on your mesmer could be handy?

You mean no hard rez.

Hex builds died out mainly because of prodigy powered HPs, BL monks, and expel hexes.

Okay, I editted the build a bit. For HP Eles, I was under the impression Scourge Healing triggers once for each time a party member afflicted with Scourge Healing is healed with HP.

I brought Migraine to use on Expel Mesmer (althought it MIGHT be able to be used against the BL). Two second cast + Distracting Shot = GG?

I'm not telling you anything wrong about your build, I'm jsut saying why hex builds died out.

Whose your runner? I'm assuming the cripshot.

I woudl take the tainter out and replace him with a hexer, possibly an OoB or edrain powered mesmer or necro degener. It's generally better to overload one point of a build (hex removal) than to spread out.

Your build is very very hex removal light. I would suggest putting in some more off-monk hex removal and possibly BL monk or 2.

Oops, I didn't mean to sound like I was being a jerk. i must've worded something really poorly. Anything, I decided to agree withyou and take out the Taint for a BloodNecro. I've also tweaked a few other characters, though I'm not really sure about BL Monks (thought I haven't tried it in GvG) because I'm such a boon prot homer.
