Our 8 man [Profession] FoW Runs! (Image Heavy)

Absolutly awesome!

Not bad!

I did all W/Mo FoW run last night, but unfortunately it was the last run for us. Everyone pretty much retired/stopped playing GW.

wow...nice work, thought it was going to be another ursan thread :P

Whoever needs Ursan in FoW (or any other area )doesn't understand the game.

As soon as we do runs with the other remaining professions this gets updated.

wow
rly nice

Lol, gonna try the All D one with my Guild/Alliance I think :P

go ahead, the derv dmg dealers are possible to whipe out a WHOLE group in a matter of seconds. (seriously)

all of these teambuilds are very fun

It was quite fun to play all necros, only problem was that it took a little bit long... might have been the lack of one player and bringing a hero xD

Nice work, looks fun to try out. =)

nice work guys, one of my friend's in that guild too gj^^

Where's the 8 Rangers?!

Or the 8 assassins? (don't really care bout the assassins though :-p)


But Grats *thumps up*. Although I'd like to see a 8-man ranger team. ;-)

I thought all necro was going to be a blood spike! I'm a little disappointed!! :'( (I would love to try that some day!)

I'm not surprised THAT you could do FoW with the professions you used, as they are balanced enough to be able to support one another. Bring the rangers and assassins :P

GJ on these!

Looking foward to seeing how you're gonna do Ranger and Sin.

I have actually already thought of possibilities to a assassin team.. another problem with even try to pull of an assassin team is the lack of assassins in the guild >.>

I knew all paragon was possible... Or full ritualist... But full monk, or full necro? Woah.

I so envy people in GoE, for having such a creative guildmates... In my guild/alliance, we never do such things -.- Only ursan or balanced...

Oh well, can't wait for all-ranger team. I wonder - maybe you'll use R/Rt's to heal?

Less PvE skills please...

Make a mesmer one. It'd be half the same as various builds you've posted methinks, but that would be interesting (and I'd like to try it).

Great job!

Is GoE Nederlands?

you mean a dutch guild? in that case no :P

It's a guild with people from europe and america

I had to break with my board-lurking ways to comment on this thread, as the concept is one I've always enjoyed. In particular, I feel drawn to comment on the all-Paragon team build and the all-Mesmer questions.

FoW is fundamentally incapable of dealing with Paragons, like... well, pretty much everywhere except the Desolation and the Domain of Anguish. I've gone and exploited this pretty much everywhere with my paragon, and it is always an interesting challenge. From my experience there, I'd like to give a few pointers regarding paragon team composition.

One, a paragon team thrives on daze, and there are a number of option available to paragons to cause it. Daze + focused fire = useless and soon very dead caster.

Two, the chants and shouts in that build are far too redundant, which means they overwrite each other constantly, depriving the team of their full effectiveness. Also, this leads to neglect of a lot of other skills, which may seem less amazing, but will work rather than compete with each other.

Three, Finale of Restoration has unparalled healing qualities when sufficient chants and shouts are present, so much so that you can completely ignore hexes that do damage, as opposed to prevent you from shouting or gaining adrenaline.

For a more specific example, I'll leave a 4-person/hero build I occasionally do the FoW with. Admittedly, one is a R/P, and thus its almost cheating in this thread, but this is just for demonstration and I can't get a third paragon hero anyways. Here it is:

Me, as P/W: 11+2 spear, 10+1+2 Leadership, 9 Tactics
Spear of Redemption + Spear of Fury + Anthem of Flame + Anthem of Fury (e)+ Save Yourselves + There's Nothing to Fear + Watch Yourself + Signet of Return

Morghan as P/x, 11+2+1 spear, 11+2 motivation, 8 leadership
Spear of Lightning + Merciless Spear + Song of Restoration (e) + Mending Refrain + Signet of Synergy + Chorus of Restoration + Lyric of Zeal + Signet of Return

Hayda as P/Me 11+2+1 spear, 11+2 motivation, 8 leadership, 3 inspiration
Spear of Redemption + Spear of Lightning + Finale of Restoration + Song of Purification + Ballad of Restoration + Chorus of Restoration + Signet of Synergy + Hex Eater Signet

Margid as R/P 11+1+2 marksmanship, 10+1 expertise, 10 command
Broad Head Arrow (e) + Distracting Shot + Screaming Shot + Whirling Defense + Lightning Reflexes + Anthem of Weariness + Anthem of Envy + Go For the Eyes!

Now, Mr Mango was wondering about whether all-Mesmer teams could do this. The answer is: all the time, and even in HM. Just this last weekend, i was in a 5-human 2-hero mesmer team that cleared the FoW in NM, but we've also done it in HM before, and that team was engineered far better. Here I'll shamelessly post a link to Deelundra's picture of the final scene:

I'll try to recall the general build:

Three Domination Mesmers, one with Power Block, one Energy Surge, and... I don't remember the last. Between them, multiple copies of Empathy, Backfire, Shatter Enchant, and Cry of Pain were key.

Two Ineptitude Illusion Mesmers, one with Epidemic, both with clumsiness and various forms of degen skills.

Fast Cast Protection, with Protective Spirit, Spirit Bond, RoF, et cetera
Fast Cast Healing (You can see Dee's bar in the link)

Assassin Spammer (That was me)
(Assassin's Promise + Arcane Echo + Ebon Vanguard Assassin Support + Augury of Death + Shadow Sanctuary + Dancing Daggers + Entangling Asp + Res Sig)
This build provided the same kind of "tank" that necromancer minion masters do, a distraction while the enemy is disassembled by the other players. In fights, about 6 assassins can be kept active at a time.

Mesmer teams form to do things like this every week in International District 1 of Deldrimor War Camp at 9:00 PM GMT, I believe. There is are impressive threads on our other accomplishments on some other forums, as well.

I apologize for the comparative lack of professionalism in presenting these builds, but as I explained earlier, I am not an accomplished poster. Best of luck to all those who enjoy flouting "Balanced" teams.

amazing, will definately check for updates.

We can inform you that ranger is up next and tanks for ideas/sharing ibn.
And the PvE skills arent NEEDED, they are just there because its the best option, and makes it easier.

I would advise dropping SoL for Swift Javalin on all bars if you take the OoV.

pink

Yes, it could be an option, but, you could just choose not to use SoL during OoV :P.

Would the elementalist one have been easier with an obby tank and a helluva lot of nuking?

umm.... not really, i really dont like the whole tank idea, too dependent on one character, also you would have to wait all the time for the tank. With this build you can just keep running.
