...Instead of bitching about it in 5 different threads. We all think that it is subpar so how about we fix it? It IS a wiki.

So I'm thinking: Caller, bomber, resto, curser

Like so:
Caller:
[Assassin's promise][you move like a dwarf][finish him][optional][optional][optional][optional][optional]
Bomber:
[discord][signet of lost souls][bone minions][death nova]
Resto:
[discord][signet of lost souls]
Curser:
[discord][signet of lost souls]

*not done yet*

PS: before you even BEGIN to think of saying something like "lolol the mods will just rv" remember that I'm standing behind you ready to kill with a blunt spoon.

Like so:
Caller:
[Assassin's promise][you move like a dwarf][finish him][optional][optional][optional][optional][optional] First of all, your caller build is hardly the most effective for all professions and you want the build to be a great build right? Even if you look at pvxwiki here:

http://www.pvxwiki.com/wiki/Category...general_builds

How many Paragon builds do you see with that AP template? That's right, none.

What do they have for an elite? [[Focused Anger], [[Song of Purification], [[Song of Restoration (pve)], and even [[Stunning Strike]. Let's give this another chance and look at ALL the approved PvE Paragon builds:

How many Paragon builds do you see with that AP template? That's right, none again!

We can go through the same thing for warrior builds and see how popular your template is but you can already guess what the result would be. So now, you can understand why some players do not think this is such a great template at all for their physical classes.

The build can actually learn a thing or two from the sabway build concept. Sabway maybe outdated but it is cleverly designed. It consists of healer, minion bomber, curse buffer. Minion bomber provides the flesh wall to protect the rest. Healer heals all, and curse necro buffs the damage from minions using Barbs. I think you should consider the curse line for your discord hex and conditions needs and add enfeebling blood.

@12Deadly, 14 leadership, 4 command
Having near permanent TNTF and a party heal every 10 seconds helps tremendously.

Energy is more than enough. 2 pips doesn't even matter when AP is like, what, ~15? I use a caster spear and Bison Cup (lol finally a use for it) for 41 energy. I can AP-YMLaD-FH like 4-5 times before running out of energy AND keep up TNTF the whole time. If I really need energy (like if I miss AP) then I can just auto-attack for a few seconds and get 7 free energy from GftE.

Actually, it is the most effective for paragon too. The only class that it isn't is maybe warrior, but I don't know since I haven't played it with warrior. Generally speaking, AP-caller is the best possible build for the player. The fact that paragons only have 2 pips of regen is meaningless because AP is like 15 pips and paragons have lots of built in e-management due to leadership.

Quote: What do they have for an elite? [[Focused Anger], [[Song of Purification], [[Song of Restoration (pve)], and even [[Stunning Strike]. Do you honestly think any of those elites even come close to AP? AP means you can instantly spam 3 conditions, a knockdown and almost 300 damage on every target every couple seconds. Stunning strike lets you use... 1 condition every 10 seconds.

I even said basically the same thing in the OP.

I've seen plenty of discordway threads lately but I have yet to have seen a single team build for this that's accepted by everyone. When I saw this thread, I thought this might be different from the other 5 but nope! Come on guys, think!

Oh, and to the person complaining about AP on a paragon, just use Asuran Scan then.

Okay, so continuing...

Caller:
[Assassin's promise][you move like a dwarf][finish him][optional][optional][optional][optional][optional]
Bomber:
[discord][signet of lost souls][animate bone minions][death nova][foul feast][infuse condition][protective spirit][aegis]
Resto:
[discord][signet of lost souls][putrid bile][protective was kaolai][weapon of warding][optional][optional][optional]
Curser:
[discord][signet of lost souls][putrid bile][meekness][barbs][enfeebling blood][rip enchantment][animate bone minions]

Okay, several questions:
1) To res or not to res? I generally don't take res on my heroes, mostly out of principal.
2) What should the resto bar be? I usually don't take life, since heroes are stupid with it and makes them slow and I don't like micro-ing.
3) Any essential skills missing?

Curser should drop minions, bring shadow of fear instead of meakness. Resto rit can be either recovery/ life spirit and the typical heals they bring mend body and spirit light. Minion bomber I prefer prot spirit and aegis just like original sabway bomber because it's useful in any situation.

I really only bring a 2nd mm when i do a 6 hero Discordway. Otherwise, one hero with minions is plenty.

Also i agree with the previous people about your restorer. [life][mend body and soul][spirit light] should be stapled to any N/rt
