3 Hero Backline

Obviosly inspired by sabway/discordway and just the popularity of N/Rt healers. All I'm really doing is saying take some prots or your N/Rts won't be so hot on their own.

A 3 hero backline sounds like you'd be putting too much effort into defense, but they can also provide a lot of offense and utility. You can easily adjust the heroes to be more focused on offense/defense/utility depending on the area and the rest of the team.

2x N/Rt Healers
11-12 resto, 9+ soul reaping
Core skills: signet of lost souls, mend body and soul, spirit light, protective was kaolai, life/rejuvenation/recovery.

The healers can use any of your standard N/Rt variants...

Curses: SS, corrupt enchantment, pain of disenchantment, rip enchantment, weakean armor, enfeebling blood, mark of pain (micro it), defile defenses (works well with discord).
Blood: SV, life transfer, well of power, blood bond, blood ritual, mark of fury, strip enchantment.
Death: Discord, putrid bile, withering aura.
Soul: IV, foul feast
Resto: Xinrae's weapon, spirit light weapon, weapon of warding, vengeful weapon, flesh of my flesh, death pact signet.

1x -/Mo Protter
10 protection prayers, weapon of enchanting
Core skills: Shield of absorption, protective spirit, aegis.

The /Mo protter can be a lot of things, as long as the first half of the build leaves them enough energy to use their prots.

Popular builds that can fit the prots...

N/Mo MM/Bomber/Discord/Curses, most common choice, similar to sabway and discordway.
Rt/Mo SoS channeler, with spirit siphon and splinter weapon.
Mo/- or -/Mo Smiter, with strength of honor and using the open class for e-management.
Me/Mo Panic mes, with panic, some big damage dom skill, and some inspiration magic for energy.
You could do plenty of other things with the protter too, like E/Mo with AoE spells and GoLE, or even a full prot monk or heal/prot hybrid monk (or N/Mo) if you feel the need for more defense.

This thread confuses me. I guess you're saying bring healers and something with prots? I suppose there are still people who don't know this, but its pretty much common sense. Note that you dont have to use necros as the /rts. Mesmers and rits are both excellent choices as well.

I'm just laying out the template cause everyone I pug with screws it up and brings just N/Rts and don't even know what the good N/Rt skills are.
