What Kind of Builds Will you create with 7 Heroes?

Ok, i'm interested in what people are gonna run for team builds with the upcoming change to 7 hero parties.

I normally run war however as ive maxed that I have decided that im gonna centre on my paragon.

With recent skill changes and the such like I believe this is a rough template for what I am going to run.....

Me, Imbagon:

Merciless, Anthem of flame, SY, Tntf, Ebsoh, Focused anger, FGJ, Aggressive refrain

Dazagon:

Barbed spear, merciless spear, Stunning strike, ballad of resto, aria of resto, mending refrain, Aggr refrain, signet of return

Ineptitude:

Ineptitude, clumsiness, wandering eye, leech signet, P drain, Waste not want not, Aegis, Prot spirit

Panic (or Esurge):

Panic (or esurge in small mob areas), Wastrels demise, Mistrust, Unnatural signet, cry of frustration, p drain, waste not want not, Death pact

Discord 1:

Discord, Rising bile, Animate shambling horror, sols, Death nova, masochism, Dwaynas sorrow, cure hex

Discord 2:

Discord, putrid bile, Animate shambling horror, sols, masochism, mend body and soul, spirit light, death pact

Curser:

Barbs, Mark of pain, Enfeebling blood, Xinraes weapon, Spirit light, Mend body and soul, prot was kaoli, dps

SoS:

SoS, Bloodsong, Splinter weapon, Spirit syphon, Life, Mend body and soul, spirit light, prot was kaoli

so thats what i was thinking....

2 things...

a) feedback or suggestions for build improvements

b) post your own ideas for what ur gonna run on ur 7 heroes and for what classes

c) DO NOT QQ OR JUST SAY WOW I CANT WAIT FOR 7 HEROES <3 xxxxx
or whatever..... thats for another thread so go there pls

Pz

Replace the hero paragon or Inep Mes with a SoGM Communing Rit.
Maybe replace Wastrel's Demise or the res on the Panic hero with Prot Spirit too.
I'd look at Bone Minions over one of the hexes on one of your Discord heroes too.

After that I couldn't change anything without dramatically altering the setup.

Are there actually be Seven Hero Parties? The only thing I've heard is there's an outpost that allows you to directly go to mission outposts WITH a seven hero party.

To me this insinuates that you won't be able to go into explorable zones with 7 hero parties, do other quests with seven hero parties... only missions.

Forgive me if this has been discussed elsewhere, I can't find it.

Forgive me if this has been discussed elsewhere, I can't find it. "You can look forward to filling out your party with Heroes as another feature of the free update build that will include Embark Beach."

Says nothing about the 7 hero party only being in the Embark Beach outpost.

To OP:

Build looks good, but the dazagon is probably not necessary. Panic and Ineptitude will be doing enough shut down as it is. I'd run a SoGM Rit to complement the SoS rit.

I gave all my heroes a pet when they are playing ranger secondary.... so I am so gonna have an army.....?

With 7 heroes, you can roll through any area extremely easily (barring gay protect npc quests imo).

You may be able to crush mobs so fast that it'd be better to leave out spiritways. (30 second recharge spirits vs destroying mobs in half the time or less?). Oh and don't forget dual fallback.

I'll think about it more when it happens. For now my first thought is: I want a fourth necromancer hero. (And none of them would be running discord...)

spiritway + panic + any stupid necros

Be creative! What are some of the things you've been waiting to do? No need to be specific, but lets think about which builds would be really fun to run.

I'll probably make something out of 3 necros, 2 rits, 2 mesmer. If the upcoming hero is a rit, I'll replace 1 of the mesmer with the rit. I'm thinking about fitting an ether renewal protter in there somehow maybe but I think it might be overkill on defense.

One MM, two n/rt discord heroes, two spirit poopers, two tease mesmers.

outside of my reg 3 (mm, sos and hb) I would add a nuker, another healer, paragon....last spot to be determined by the class of the character I am playing (as well as if there are duplicates like mm or sos).....as well as the area ......

3 x Discord, VoR, Inep, 2 x Smiters = Win

I'm thinking about a combination of an mm, a curser, a spirit spammer, a RoJ monk, a para, an earth ele, and a shutdown mesmer.

Wait, that turned out way less gimmicky than what I was hoping for... 7 heroes is not enough!

Umm...I'll just do what I'm sure everyone else will. I'll mix and mash sabway with other hero builds in the meta section of PvX

Edit: Basically mesmers, rits, and necros rofl

My current three heroes I normally use are a party wide AR Paragon, AoL MM, and an Orders Blood Necro/SoS Rit (depending on the area I'm in). For the rest I'm thinking an AoE Ele, your standard dedicated healer, a Prot monk for single target damage reduction and hex removal, and a Lyssa's Aura Mesmer for anti-melee and caster hate. For the last role, I'd probably fill it with a fun hero like Jora, Koss, MOX, etc. just to have them by my side bludgeoning things to death.

3 Discord Necros, 2 Spirit Spammer Rits, 1 ER Prot, 1 Signet Mes (Specifically for heavy E-denial / Anti-casters areas), and me as a monk doing whatever I want.

Or a team of me and 2 heroes as sin dagger spam and 2 WE wars, 1 ER prot, 1 N/Rt Heal / Splinter, 1 ER order / melee buff curses, 1 ROJ smiter with melee buffs, and 1 Signet Mes.

Or 3 Mes + 3 N/Me + 1 N/Rt Heal full lockdown.

Or Neo-Barrage pet with minions, rit spirits, multiple pets, a few ranger spirits, PvE summons, ebon vanguard assassin, and item summons all on the same screen XD

OMFG, so many OP possibilities.

Can I have 600/Smite and the old CoP back now? 7 Heroes H/h puts those to such shame, Guild Wars should be renamed Automatic Wars.

For my rit character:
Rt/- Spirit Spammer with GDW (player)

Beastly offense with spirits and spirit siphon allows spamming of GDW on recharge. Spirits can also be very useful to body block.

N/Rt Healer with a dip in curses
N/Rt Healer with a dip in blood magic
N/Mo MM with hex removal

Infinite energy, good healing and prot, offensive/defensive support with curses and minions.

E/Me SF ele with interrupts
E/Me SF ele with interrupts

Cracked armor (can be easily provided by the necros) helps a lot with the fire damage, burning certainly helps, and they can do a lot of interrupting in between castings of SF.

P/- Commandagon

Buffage. "They're on Fire!" combos with the SF eles, anthems affect spirits, and "Go for the Eyes!" affects minions.

?/?

Some physical hero with a pet so with the commandagon that makes 3 allies to maintain GDW on.



For my necro main it'd be similar but I'd be a barbs/MoP caller instead of a spirit spammer, get rid of the eles, and have four physical heroes with pets (at least one of them covering the commandagon role too) for optimum triggering of barbs/MoP. Maybe take out one of the physicals for an SoS rit since spirit spam is just so OP.



Or for animal lovers....

Player with pet
Mo/R with pet & phys support
Mo/R with pet & phys support
Rt/R with pet & phys support
P/R with pet & phys support
3x R/- Beastmasters

- Spirit Rit
- MM Necro
- ER Ele
- Smiter Monk
- Mesmer
- Necro
- Necro

Now where is the update for 7 heroes of each profession? 7x necro hero anyone?
