So which of those 7 hero builds are working?

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?

...Just bring 2x Fallback/Incoming/Charge
You don't even need to keyboard faceroll pve anymore. Just hold W.

lol

2 barrage rangers, 3 volley paragons, 1 weapons rit, 1 MM with SoS

i'm sleeping here, things are dying so fast i dont need a healer

7 discord heroes, 1-2-3-1-2-3-1-2-3-1-2-3-1-2-3-1-2-3 while watching tv.

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.

Sogm rit
ST rit
SoS necro
Curse necro
MM necro
Interupt mes- most of the build stays the same but the elite varies on the group size in the area
Dedicated healer monk

Quad agro in a vq....got taken care of quickly and no one dropped below 90% health.

3 Discords, 2 Spiritways, Panic, Commandagon

Easy mode

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

Me as a /Rt spirit spammer. Because ele's arent all that amazing in HM xD I still run earth time to time but meh c:

1 Panic mesmer
1 Esurge mesmer O:
1 MM
1 Curses nec
1 healer necro (Because whispers' would feel left out if I didnt take him.)
2 aog dervs.

playing with my paragon now and always hated running discord.
will run:
- 3 para
- 1 orders
- 2 monks (ua/hb)
- sos rt
- sogm rit

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.

3 ROJ monks with 40/40
3 AoTl necros all superior runed
WOH monk

flag around and stuff Xplodedes

This is what I'm running now, it's beautiful lol. Even threw a couple of pets in to add to the zerging.

1 Panic Mes
1 PI support
1 MM protter
1 MoP smiter necro
1 Earth Shaker warr
1 prot monk
1 healer monk

with me being a spiritspammer. Works great, though I think I am running too defensively.
