Easy HM Missions/Vanqs

A really simple 7 hero build.
For anyone that is having difficulties with HM/Vanquishing/Dungeon, using these builds will make it a lot easier.

There is no definite need to rune heroes, though it definitely helps.

Basically, I know there might be more complex/more effective builds as for different areas but the ones I'm going to give are just general BUT will get you through HM Missions/Vanquishes with very little effort/deaths.
Also bear in mind if you're still having troubles with the mission/vanq/dungeon after using this, maybe get some cons to help.

Your Build

Deadly Arts - 12 (Gives you a lot of slack with timing AP)
Pain Inverter - Helps with HM Eles/High damagers, isn't vital.
Assassin's Promise - Main hex, used in conjunction with You move like a Dwarf! gives your Necromancers the ability to do huge damage by spamming Discord.
You Move Like A Dwarf! - Good condition, knock-down & Damage skill. Not vital.
Finish Him - Makes kills even quicker/Makes bosses with a lot of HP easier.

Your other 4 skills are completely up to you, as a Monk I put a res/3 hex removals but rarely used them, experiment around but bear in mind you have no more slots for PvE Skills with that set up.

For runes/insignias, you could probably use anything, though survivor/vitae/vigor will obviously help a lot. (For an Assassin you could use a Deadly arts rune though probably won't make a huge difference)

Posted this because of people asking for help, thought it would help more people if I posted here.
It's not very complex but if you have any questions be sure to ask and I'm sure if not I then someone else will answer them.

sorry but is so much healing not needed stacking so much is inefficient and you lose a lot of additional DPS that could be instead of the healing skills. This leads the actual problem discord is outdated because in the 3 hero era bar compression was important that faded away with 7 heroes.

There are better c-space builds around on the forum that require no micro.

Last note: SF ele and HM dont really mix if you want to fit in an ele put in a invoke ele

Like I said, there are better.
But I went through every HM Mission on the game with this build and found no trouble whatsoever, kills fast enough... It's to help people who might be struggling.

I saw title and got interested then i saw discordway more or less and lost interest.
Discordway doesnt always suit all professions - its been mentioned many times.
For new players i feel it will spoil the game - they wont really learn much using it and when they try hm missions/quests with pugs/guildies they wont really cope.
But thats just my views only - i cope easily enough using spiritway and a few random mercs and i enjoy the challenge.

So is it an excuse to make a build that is inefficient and then ignore its faults.

Here is a simple c-space build you will see around on guru, you can customize it to physical and caster characters. 0 micro is needed.

Maybe it's time to bump that thread ...

to much discord (single target damage) fire ele in HM is wothless need a mesmer for shotdown in there somewhere and overkill on with all the healing

Yeah you all are right, there's no a specific build to defeat all the explorable areas, but this build is a great one, just started Vanquishing and it works perfectly... just changed my own build, for a SoS Build.

Thanks for the help.

People cant read anymore I guess.
To all complainers, read the post again and don't start posting automatically when you see a discord build.
