Heroing FOW 1 player

I don't play much nowadays but drop in try fow or do some of the newer content with heros. I finally finished fow well I wiped while running the gryphs but that was me not paying attention after almost 3 hours. There's probably quite a few ways to do fow with heros, but this build is kinda fun and too hard for me to manage.

I use the 2 Rit heros and a RoJ monk with my roj mm pve necro. Replaced a discord nec with a roj nec and now a Roj monk. When it's going good I'm just blowing stuff up. Undead are only a problem if I don't set up right/wait for full recharge. Dragons are no problem. I try to avoid anything with more than 2 monks.

Sorry don't know how to do the skills thing and points include runes.

Since I can't AP, I have to wait for recharge, but that extra ROJ seems to help. I could swap out one of the minions or bane sig.

I was wondering if anyone can tell me what my build is lacking or if I should replace skills or characters with something else. Also wanted to run an AP ranger with these heros, but it seems more pain than it's worth.

Edit: Didnt use cons. Did use a summon in the Burning Forest.

Thanks!

Have you tried replacing your ROJ hero with a PI mesmer hero?

i went with roj mostly to handle the undead and it works well with other bads. i just finished it with this build... 2 hours 40 mins. not fast by any means and almost wiped a couple of times. but it's my 1st full run with heros. if i switch to a mesmer hero, what else would need changing? the monk prots a little and mows down stuff pretty good. was even able to deal with a 3rd monk this time.

Does ROJ makes foes scatter in NM like it does in HM?

Deep freeze, YMLAD, and even EVAS seems to lock them up long enough to kill that 1st monk. After that, there usually isnt too many problems as long as you space yourself from the the heros so that you or the monk hero can get away.

With undead, I lay out spirits and pull heros behind them. Wait for the wars to engage or hit their healers/backline with RoJ depending on spacing. The wars dont usually scatter on initial engagement. Sometimes get 2 or almost all 3 with that 1st roj.
Evas or YMLAD on bonds and ROJ.

With Shadow army monks I EVAS ROJ YMLAD. If the spirits are in place, monks usually goes down right away. Then I pick em off and let the spirits do their thing. Sometimes he gets healed and I do it all over again. It works best if the monks are group cuz they cant heal themselves and everyone else fast enough.

Sometimes I don't set up spirits like with the monk mesmer mobs in the citadel. Just start nuking and they start laying spirits etc. I mostly need to set spirits 1st against the undead and in burning forest. Kill nukers 1st then healers in forest depending on spacing and what you have available.

Probably done with this build unless there is a way to speed it up. 2.5 hours+ = too long. This would probably work better with a monk player and nec or monk hero. Spiritway and RoJ has broken up my discord team lol.

It was kinda fun in that you can micro the spirits and heros roj if you want to. But even if you dont, you are almost always making a minion or using a some skill and it's not always 1, 2, 3...
