Advice for WIK

I prefer to play by myself if possible because PUGS or co-ordinating times to run missions / quests with allies can be tricky and I keep weird hours, but I'm noticing that WIK's quest chain (after you've done the bounties) can be tricky.

I've completed all campaigns so I have a full stable of heroes bar Kieran, with all of them in their upgraded kit and customized. Can anyone recommend a good setup of which heroes to take with me in order to do WIK's quest chains by myself without wandering around permanently on 60 DP?

spirits and spirits. offensive and defensive.

personally i used a mix of spirits, minions, one shut down mesmer, and some heals. FS is quite handy in dealing with all the rez they have.

Hmm, I may just have to tweak builds and try to be a bit more careful with my pulling of mobs then because I was taking Xandra and Razah as spirit spammers, Ogden as party healer, Gwen as an interrupt mesmer and Olias as a minion master. That syncs up pretty well with what you all seem to agree on, so it may just come down to tweaking build setups a bit more closely and being a bit more cautious.

Replace Ogden with an N/Rt healer with PwK. Throw PwK and a couple of resto heals on whichever rit you have set up for Channeling. (The PwK gives great party recovery from spikes, and rit healers use some weapon spells that can't be stripped, unlike monk enchants. I rarely use monks in my hero parties any more except for smiting.) Use Olias as a minion bomber with Dwayna's Sorrow (every time a minion dies, everybody gets healed a little). This should give you plenty of healing while maintaining plenty of offense.

The individual quests are all different. Read up on them. The one right before defending lion's arch or BLA, you just need spme running skills. The people you are escorting will do a fine job of running. Carry along your party who will probably all get killed along the way. Meanwhile you just run along with the group until you get to LA. Easy.

BLA I did as Ranger SoS. Wave after wave will come after you. Stand on the top of the first stairs to defend. Plenty of spirits to block. A MM with Flesh Golem and some wells helps a lot because the stairs are narrow. Gwen Panic and interrupt. Other stuff to taste. Blow 'em away and degen 'em down.

Notice, that it's not just build and equipment what matters.
Use your brain! Many WiK bosses can be killed very easily if you stand on the right place.

About team setup, I used this and did whole WiK with it:
Me - Rt - SoS + Technobabble
N/Mo - Prot bomber
Me - Panic
Me - Inept
E/P - Invoker with SyG and Fall Back, but you can give him heals
Mo/Me - UA healer

I did WiK with this setup: http://www.gwpvx.com/Build:Team_-_7_Hero_Player_Support using Razah as a Mesmer and the Smiting Monk. Worked out fine for me, though I did have quite some DP because I personally suck :P

I used 3 discord necros, a SoS rit and a Panic mesmer with me as AP caller (duh) and it worked well, did it in HM.
WiK have many hex removes, so you just have to be careful to spike down those as fast as possible and to fall back if AP gets removed. Pulling asd preset spirits helps a lot. Dwaynas sorrow is a wonderfull skill coupled with minions.
