What heroes do you commonly use?

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. Then it is not needed to cast MoP, because the quick death of target.
BUT in MANY areas, there are not much corpses etc. and in the beginning of the vanquish/mission you have not so much minions so in the begin its nearly useless. I prefer Discordway, you can use it everywhere in PvE, and it kill as fast as dual-MM.

Barbs+MoP+20 minions is just incredible. They remind me of piranhas. a 4x discord team can easily maintain 20 minions and keep up MoP and Barbs... mine does. they kill fast enough that you dont need to bother with jagged bones.

2 signet/smite mesmers and a smiting support monk n_n Much lurveee

You can take 3 copy of discord and have 18(20 of you go 16DM) minions, I can assure you. Ofc you also have AoE weakness and some prots. you can even sub in MoP since you seem to be fan of this skill! MoP is good but I dont trust heroes to use it properly on their own. I either bring it on my character or micro manage it.

Tried out the pvxwiki Discord team build and it seems to work quite well.

The pvxwiki build is very inferior to what you can run (I posted mine in the discution, last post). Thing is, it is rated by dumb, close minded people.
Let's see, it has:
2 healers, one pseudo-protter which spreads attributes between healing, prot, SR, death magic for ultimate failure, 2 hexes only (unless you use pain inverter on the target you're going to spike...need I explain why it's dumb).

Try the version I posted, you basically have 2 MMs with one spamming death nova, and one healer.
It can be improved, but it is way, way more effective than the subpart "official" version.

OT, I also use Wounding strike dervishes... because you can't fail with it and it rapes face! Melee hero?..eeewwww..

Discord recharges in 2 seconds, you dont really need to use any other damage skills except for the required hexes/conditions. Where is your build?

I did not say anything about sabway.
I don't even care about it.
I just said the version present as discord spam has many flaws and really only uses half the power of a death magic team.
EDIT: just read the post under. I give up. If you're not able to pass up your pride and consider my point you don't even deserve being on a forum. Think whatever you want, stick with subpart builds. Actually if you have tried it out, the official build isn't that bad. You certainly cant complain that it doesn't have enough heals, and Discord recharges so fast that you dont really need another "probably crappier" damage skill, so why not add more heals?

I think it can be improved upon by adding a curse/discord necro then it has the basic sabway paradigm of MM/Healer/Curse, but all of them are using Discord as their elite. That way, they can better satisfy the hex+condition requirement for Discord to work, move the curse skills from the player necro to one of the hero necro, and amplify minion damage through Barbs. This would also release the requirement for the player character to be a necro, in order to use the Discord team build effectively.

Here is the result of my testing using my mesmer instead of my necro (which works even better with triple necro discord hero team):



I dont know if it is obvious but I was in the middle of attacking the Charr team when Molotov Rocktail's group appeared (as he often does), but the Discord team was so strong that we killed them all.

On the way there, we also killed Horai Wingshielder and his group, no problem. Thus, the +4% morale boost.



Here is one where we killed Rekoff Broodmother in HM Riven Earth with 0 casualties using the exact same build. Notice that I also completely forgot to change to the Asuran blessing for the energy bonus.
