is there a viable hero/hench build that can do a forgemaster run?
finding a reliable forgemaster pug is just frustrating and my guild is pretty inactive so if anyone could help with possible builds that would be awesome.
thanks in advance

You could probably do it if you just found 1 person to set up some heroes and leave once you got in. easily doable as 7man if they're set up properly.

I have done that many times with guildies who wanted to get their FoW armors. I often play late late at night, so there isn't often many people on to help out.
So my self and a friend load up heros and set out. Basic balanced actually works fine here. A basic tank setup (warrior with high physical/elemental armor), should ALWAYS pre aggro here, keep the heros back/flagged, while teh war goes in and pulls aggro to the enemy casters/healers, but be ready to rush in ASAP to heal him and nuke the crap out of the mob. I say *always* because it just makes things in FoW 10x smoother/faster.
Last few times we went in we had. 1 Warrior, 2 SF eles, 2 Necros (MM & SS),
Mesmer (any class here really, Rit Lord, Paragon support, etc...), and 2 monks (1 was pure prot, the other was an LoD/protection hybrid). Most builds around that idea should work fine. Also, a descent amount of group protection vs physical dmg is recommended, especially on the Battle Field vs all those skeletal berskers...
Anywhoo, hope that helps!
cheers.
