What would you bring?

I've been thinking about this for a while now, since ursan came there haven't been much use of other groups (This is not a QQ-thread), in FoW,DoA and other highend HM stuff.

But my question is; if you don't run ursan, and instead running a synergised team (Warrior,monk,necro,ele) what would you bring as the last spot?
Paragon, Dervish, Mesmer, Ritualist, Ranger, Assassin
Thanks =)

Edit; Added ranger and assassins.

Paragon fo' sho'

One of my fellow heroes.

Really, I dont play ursan and its hard to get a group that it aint ursan, os many time i resort to one of my heroes.

ill prolly take paragon

If you got a warrior in your party I'll go for a ritualist restoration/channeling.

another necro. Or maybe an imbagon

Paragon players are always useful, take them as an imbagon (see paragon forum/EVERYWHERE) and then a couple of your players could do away with support and focus more on damage. If the para takes [["Fall Back!"] aswell then you'll get the whole area finished in about 1/3 of the time.

Although many would argue that the imbagon is as broken as ursan, but I think that a [[Cruel Spear] para is just as worth the slot.

Me as a paragon, with Cruel Spear, TNTF, and SY. Who needs that crappy Imbagon build when you have Frenzy and decent healers? (And half a mind when and when not to use Frenzy)

I'd start by kicking the ele.

Paragon is a no brainer.

Quote: (Warrior,monk,necro,ele) Quote: Paragon, Dervish, Mesmer, Ritualist Cool, leave out Ranger and Assassin? I would take a Ranger.

In the case of a full build, I would go with...

Warrior (D-Slasher)
Warrior (Earth Shaker)
Dervish (Wounding Striker / AoM)
Ranger (Magebane)
Ele / Rit (Mind Blaster with Splinter Weapon / Rit Resto Channel hybrid)
Paragon / Necro (DA / Imbagon / Cruel Spear / Orders)
Monk (WoH Hybrid)
Monk (WoH Hybrid)

KILLING STUFF GOGOGO!!!

Paragon most likely or maybe the rit for weapon spells...

rangers and assassins are balanced?

lolz, news to me

Paragons with "SY!" and "TN2F!" are next on the list of retarded button-mashing to Ursan. I like to laugh at the anti-Ursan guilds who abuse these Paragon builds and claim superiority.

Most likely imbagon , TNTF spear para or a splinter/warmonger rit ( I suppose you have a ranger in group already?). Mesmer if the other roles I mentioned are there and you need interrupts and/or more hex removal with some more utility.

I'd run melee heroes more often if they had decent AI, although I do take Devona in EOTN areas (KDs are FTW). So if I run with a warrior, a sin or a derv they're human 90% of the time.

- Paragon in general. Good buffs, decent attacks if needed, can set it up as an expelagon if needed (they come in handy!).

- Derv if I need holy damage and something to "forget" about (Menlandru derv).

- Anti-whatever mesmer depending on the area. I usually ran with Dunham instead of Orion in my H/H Prophecies vanquishing. Or I'm the interrupt mesmer (interrupting is ftw).

- Rits come in handy if I wanna run something "different" than the traditional 2 monks setup, although if I run with real people I'll generally have a rit by my side =]. He plays hybrids BTW.

Ditch the ele
Ditch the necro
Add some dervish/rit/paras


BTW, I hope you're not talking about tank 'n spank when you mention 'balanced' ?
