Seriously, no one posted paraway here? Well here we go! Casters are for the weak! Who needs them anyway? And before you ask, yes this build actually does work, it can take a huge amount of pressure (except AOE shut down hexes) and can deal some good dmg. I've been able to clear out the heart of abbadon HM with it (a good place to test hero builds imo).
The reason I have so much hex removal is because hexes are the bane of paragons.

Pet Paragon team build:

Yes I am aware that ToF doesn't affect pets but with HaO, this is potentially one of the most resilient generic build that I ever came up with, without using mercs.

I've runned for lol a teambuild centered on physical player. Nothing strange apart i'm an ele. Conjure frost+icy axe+armor buff dmg mitigation. VQ more than half of eton.

I includes ER prot(wit life bond),sos chan(splinter+soh), 2 paras(blazing finale and anthems fueling ToF!) and rest quite regular.

and only 1 GftE in this paraway?
GFTE is THE perfect e-management + higher damage,

I'll post here and a link to the original thread as I didn't see this thread until afterwards.

OoV is just in there for some occasional cheap / armor ignoring buffing. Heroes don't use nova until an ally drops to low health and / or taking a lot of damage in my observation.

I don't think OotV will affect minions since it only affects party members. so keep it, it is even better when you can hit multiple targets.

also, think about swapping your paras to bow, and use volley/crossfire for attack skills to a) build more adrenaline, and b) proc OotV more times.

Has anyone had the opportunity to field-test 7 R/N touch ranger heroes?

Such as this?

I am interested in the tales of ultimate destruction from such a thing! I don't have merc slots to do it, though. /sadface

I would be interested to see how they went against wind rider packs, or in topk, or on the battlefield in fow.

Tried that, personally. It was lackluster due to the recharge on winter. I wouldn't recommend it in any normal style of play.

I run 2x E-Surge, 1x Ineptitude, 2x Invoke Lightning Ele's, 1 BiP Resto, and one combination UA/Prot (since I can drop a lot of e-management). Works wonders. The ele's are substitutable per area, such as the DoA, where I use an ST Rit, or other areas where I might prefer an MM.

Note that this is UNTESTED as I do not have any merc heroes yet.

The effectiveness of this build could be improved a LOT simply having the player use RT/R (or R/RT) for place himself Winter and then abuse of Summon Spirits. No recharge/spirit range issue.

I thought about that but a RT/R (or R/RT) would not have Mantra of Frost. Probably still workable with the prots, but not ideal. You can try sticking QZ to the ranger or use some recharge pve skill combo (e.g. Air of Superiority) on your Me/R (or R/Me).

The recharge on winter is fine if you are defending an area.

The recharge on winter is fine if you are defending an area. Note - normal style of play. The majority of missions, vanquishes, dungeons, and more don't involve defending an area. Those that do rarely warrant a custom build. If summon spirits + winter was used, it is more viable. On a ranger, the extra armor should compensate for lack of mantra.

Ofc not, but trust me on this - I tried it just two days ago. 60 second recharge is.. way too long. Eternal Grove, or the defending NF mission, are the only areas where this is viable unless you take winter with you.

You're better off dropping the ranger and adding a source of protection.
