Hello all, this is an idea (just an idea, don't be too harsh ) Untested, baseless, and hopefully a different kind of team.

3 humans

12 Earth Magic, 9 + 3 + 1 Earth Prayers, 9 + 3 Mysticism, other runes to bring your health to 130.

Skills: [Armor of Earth] [Stoneflesh Aura] [Mystic Regeneration] [Armor of Sanctity] [Sand Shards] [Obsidian Flesh] [Earth Attunement] [Res Sig]

Equipment: Runes for 130 health, Radiant/Stalwart insignias, +20 energy / 20% enchantment staff.

_____

Curser: Necromancer/Mesmer

10 Domination, 12 + 1 + 3 Curses, 8 + 2 Soul Reaping

Skills: [Spiteful Spirit] [Arcane Echo] [Reckless Haste] [Price of Failure] [Empathy] [Signet of Lost Souls] [Backfire] [Res Sig]

Equipment: Superior curses, Major Soul Reaping, Radiant insignias, 40/40 Curses set

_____

Healer: Monk/Necromancer

9 Blood Magic, 10 + 3 Healing Prayers, 10 + 1 + 3 Protection Prayers, 7 + 1 Divine Favor

Skills: [Blood Ritual] [Healing Breeze] [Healing Seed] [Guardian] [Life Bond] [Protective Spirit] [Shield of Regeneration] [Resurrection Chant]

Equipment: Superior Healing/Protection runes, Minor Divine Favor rune, Radiant insignias, 20% enchanting staff/HSR Protection




Please rip this to shreds guys, first time trying a team build and I'm curious if it'll work. With the inevitable SoS nerf I'm just looking for something new to try.

the runes on the tank are wrong you cant add elementalist runes to a dervish.

Tank will get interrupted in chamber
Tank will run out of energy quickly
Unless you plan on using an essence, candy corn, golden eggs and lunar fortunes, then the tank cannot maintain Obsidian Flesh
Assuming you can maintain OF, tank will get interrupted in chaos plains, on escort and on the way to vale
This build will not be at all effective at killing mindblades even if you manage to tank them
Skeletons will kill the tank very easily, and there is no need for the 130hp anyway, just drop the dervish bit and go E/Me tbh

Why shield of regeneration? Armor of earth already provides armor and they don't stack
Why healing breeze, mystic regen, and shield of regeneration? Hp regen only stacks to +10

Always, always run Rebirth as your hard rez on a team like this. Res chant forces your rezzer closer in, whereas Rebirth both lets you have distance and teleports the guy to you.

Hmmm, intresting thought, I have ran believe it or not myself and 3 heroes, Koss, and 2 monks, a prot/bonder, and a healer/prot, works like a charm, can't beat UW, but I sure can do alot and get 1-3 ectos each run.

Oh and I run a ele/rit SOS, and love it. Works wonders.

The entire build uses non-PvE skills, this, if working can be hero'd. O_o
