The paladin group

Its a team with 8 W/mo's. It came up in my mind today, i tried to make the team but i couldn't find players to join.

W/mo Paladin

Attributes: Healing Prayers: 11
Strenght: 12 (10 + rune + helm)
Weapon Mastery: 11 (10 +rune)

Gear: Dragon or Brute Helm
Gladiator set
Knight's Boots (for global dmg. reduction)
Axe/Sword with zealous mod

Skills: 1 Frenzy
2 Warrior's endurance
3 Weapon attack
4 Weapon attack (can be snare, interrupt etc.)
5 Heal Other/Healing Breeze/Heal Party
6 Condition/Hex removal
7 Skill of choice (sprint, watch yourself, weapon atack, etc.)
8 rez siggy

Plan: 1. 8 Paladins that divide in 4 groups of 2 attacking 4 diffrent targets at once.
2. 2 groups of 4 attacking 2 targets.
3. 2 groups of 3 and 1 of 2 attacking 3 targets.
4. All attack random targets

I hope you understand my build.

Comments & critics pls.

Its so simple it just might not work. I think allot of builds would beat it but its OK just needs more of a variation. Any team that actually targets the same target is good.

You're about a week too late. Since the ladder freeze, a number of guild groups have been experimenting with unconventional groups, and this happens to be one of them. I've seen at least one top 50 team dominate with the paladin build in a GvG... it might become the next FoTM for all we know.

By the way, you need sprint and healing hands for an effective paladin build.

Yah,I saw this several times yseterday. Cant remember the name of the guild,but a few of the W/Mo's outa the eight had heal area,would ball up to heal,hahah.

I've seen similar builds run in tombs and GvG, though I can't recall any specifics...

This is the thread in question.

A couple days late.

i swear i never saw anything similar

IF your interested in running an all paladin build, the key to winning is in the tactics. and yes I think it is the most fun build to play.

the only problem w/ that build is energy management. u come up against a shutdown mesmer or energy spike mesmer yur in trouble. u wil have no energy for healing breeze, other, or party so u cant heal which means death to a pally. as mattjones said ya tatics is a must. u must have healing sig since it requires no energy though the -40 armor is a killer. (ANet screwed that up bad even w/ 85 armor u only have 45 armor which is stupid cause all yur health u gained is prolly lost in one or 2 hits w/ 45 armor) thus sprint to run away for a sec heal then charge back in. it mite work but it wil need some definite tweaking. ya healing hands would be good if u have the energy to use it as most tanks only have 20 energy. u must watch out for mesmers and w/ no monks u are venurable to a 3 monk team.
