What's worked, and what was disappointing?
So which of those 7 hero builds are working?
spray04
So we've all made tons of 7-hero builds in expectation of the update. Now that the update is finally here, I thought there should be a new thread on the actual outcomes of all those builds you came up with What's worked, and what was disappointing?

Using spiritway with a panic mesmer, two melees and a protect monk. Epic pawnage in Ferndale.

Theres too many builds that work. 3 discords, Panic, Ineptitude, SoS + Soul Twisting is ridiculously easy.
However, I'm going to have a bit of fun now with trying to play the game, and trying to get survivor through vanquishes (since it resets if you fail) using nothing but core skills on all 8 party members ^^
The amount of fail is going to be hilarious. GW can stil be challenging if you simply dont roll the most powerful builds.

I dont understand why people are still using discord. Single target damage is extremely meh when you have the damage output that 7 heroes allows

So I did DoA HM and almost fell asleep, until Gloom where I lost because I forgot about 50% miss chance and didn't have asuran scan...
Me as R/W Barrage/SY/EBSoH
2x MM <- actually maintained 10/11 minions each most of the time, I was impressed.
1x SoS/SW/Rest rit <- 16 channeling for rape weapon
1x ST rit <-shelter is cool, other then that this build was just random stuff I threw together. Not that it was bad, but it was probably sub optimal.
1x Panic mesmer <- lol interrupts, wastrel's is also awesome damage.
1x OoP/DF/MoP Necro <- because sometimes, splinter weapon just isn't enough. Also OoP lets me hit well over 100 damage per shot with barrage.
1x Healing Burst monk <- Need at least 1 healer for the hardest area of the game, I think.
Started out in foundry, triple aggroed in the third room and still no one died. BTW: panic in there on all the enemies AND multiple allies along with the minions is funny is hell, everything just starts twitching like crazy.

3x sf eles, 1x bip touch ranger, 2x monks, me(necro), 1x paragon with "They're on fire".
Aggro'd everything in Foundry and it took a long time for me to die, perhaps 7 minutes or so in the third room. I probably wouldn't have if I hadn't taken a minion master build to test it out and had a mouse with me. BTW, I LOVE the 'y' key

I was just playing with this:
Me (VoS Dervish)
1 healer Monk
1 RoJ Monk
1 Minion Bomber
1 SoGM Rit
1 N/Rt healer
1 Panic Mesmer w/Blood support
1 Psychic Instability/Fragility Mesmer
...it works pretty awesome. I was doing Stygian Veil and only died because I suddenly lagged massively and rubberbanded halfway across the map and aggroed like three mobs, grrr.
I will definitely try out more combos tomorrow, though this is fun.

Discord these days isnt as conditional as some skills. Some hexes literally leave a condition and with me running a ebon dust derviwh and having two mesmers in my group i literally dont have to do anything it just happens. But personally I'm not a fan myself but a little discord can only help but too many is just silly.
I'm running:
1 Ebon Dust Derv or AoG+GA Derv
3 slots standard sabway
1 signet of ghostly might ritualist
1 signet of spirits spammer
1 psychic instability mesmer
1 paragon for whatever utility or partial imbagon i want

I would really like to see a lot of Non-Discordway builds. Most builds here aren't specified...
E.g. HB Monk
...nothing else, you could specify what exact build. For Example here is what I am running (I'm still experimenting)
Me - SoS (PvXWiki Build)
MoW - Sabway Resto (See 3 -Necro HM Sticky on this section)
Livia - Sabway Curse (See 3 -Necro HM Sticky on this section)
Olias - Sabway MM (See 3 -Necro HM Sticky on this section)
Razah - SoGM/Resto (Not really useful for two roles at once won't post build)
Koss - DSlash War (w/ Sever Artery, Gash, Silverwing Slash, FGJ, not complete)
Goren - Earthshaker (PvXWiki Build)
Jora - Not Sure... Same as Koss with a few tactics skills
I'm open to Advice on changing this, though I'd like to keep the Sabway and My own Build. I might put in a Panic Mesmer (PvXWiki Build) or a Barrage Ranger (PvX Wiki Build).
I like the fact that you can specialize your whole team for specific missions/areas/dungeons. E.g. A lot of Fire Nuker Eles and Fire Barrage Rangers for Secret Lair of the Snowmen.

Since most of the time I spend vanquishing is looking for the last mob (lol 30 min VQ and 1 hour looking for 1 group), I prefer fallback +GFTE with high command over another damage dealer.
