[Word Of Healing][Dwaynas Kiss][Cure Hex][Rejuvenation Signet][Smite Hex][Heavens Delight][Divine Healing][Spotless Mind]

We would like some constructive criticism on this build pls. Not quite sure about the ritualist as a friends gave me the build. Idea behind build was that splinter and order of pain buff the para and warrior physical damage to kill eemies effective and fast in NM and HM whilst the party stays alive trough the SY gons damage reduction, the necro and monk healing. The 2nd and 3rd para help to remove hexes on whole party whilst monka nd ritualist effectivly remove hexes from single targets.

[EDIT] After testing it for about 30 times we came up with an average time of 55mins.

I would drop Sunspear Rebirth Signet on the warrior. You only get one morale boost in FoW so you're better off with a hard res or nothing.

The Ritualist would work better as a Mo/Rt. 12 smiting with runes would give you a lot of extra attribute points to put elsewhere.

Also a second There's Nothing To Fear! would let you maintain it 24/7. Didn't see that at first.

When you have 2+ Paragons, set TNTF on 2 of them.
Here, 3 paragons are too much, beacause you don't use them. Only 1 Sy, et 2 Expel. With 3 paragons you can make a great team.

1 SY
1 Song of restoration
1 Anathem of Fury / Expel hexes / Song of restoration / Other ...

But please, USE SHOUT !
You have 3 Paragons !
Finale of Restoration is GREAT with 2+ paragons.

Expel hexes
Empatic removal
hexbreaker aura
Smitting hexes
Cure Hex

Aaargh 5 anti-hex, 2 is ok. You must only remove SS.
Monk and Rt are ok for that.

Use your paragons like paragons, with shout et songs !

The group I usually go with has two dwayna dervs, an n/mo with Signet of Removal, Smite Hex, and Remove Hex as well as Cure and Remove Hex on the one monk. Personally I don't like to stand around and wait for hexes to wear off or removals to recharge when my physicals could be punching things in the face.

I wanted to say "If you want HEAVY hex removal, don't play with 3 Paragons"
I made many FoW with a 8P team, only 1 Hex removal in the team, and we never had problems.

You only need one monk for this, as long as he's relatively decent and doesn't run off on his own . The rit and N/Rt can go completely offensive, especially since the D/N already takes care of some healing.

As far as I can remember, there was basically no defense anywhere else besides the SYgon the last time I FoWed, and the only deaths we took were me running off to open a chest or exploring the beautiful scenery of the place :P

My monk bar was just: WoH, SoA, Seed of life, HP, and GoLE (maybe cure hex?). I think 13 heal 11 prot 11 divine. You can take more than 5-6 skills if you want.

More hex removal in always nice as hexes are about the only thing that can kill you in FoW with this kind of group setup.

Reverse hex is arguable as well if you have glyph and like using a 40 recharge prot weapon, though I'd just go with remove hex.
