Discordway post 6th jan patch

no, mainly because discordway team builds are too slow and outdated. Yeah, I don't know of anyone who uses Discord since 3h limit was sorted.

Yeah, I don't know of anyone who uses Discord since 3h limit was sorted. To be honest, I think it's funny how people attribute the downfall of Discord to the introduction of 7H. Discord is actually stronger since the acquirement of seven heroes.

You have your three single-target, hybrid Discord heroes dealing single-target spike damage with hybrid stuff, like heals and command skills/prot, etc. then you bring AoE stuff on the other characters, it's obvious. You don't have to take two monks, etc.

People are jumping at the chance to say they dislike Discord because it makes them look less stupid, when it's having the opposite effect. Or rather, it would have the opposite effect if everyone wasn't following suit.

People are jumping at the chance to say they dislike Discord because it makes them look less stupid, Go do Gloom HM no cons and Mallyx no cons and see how you go? Painful with discord (if you can do it), I have little trouble, so I know what setups I will continue to use.

Like the previous poster commented, discord simply isn't as effective as combos with mesmers, no shutdowns and way too slow.

Oh also 7h? Where on earth did you get that from? I said 3h... aka now Razzha prof can be change + mercs, thus 3 mes is a no brainer now.

Why would I want more than one single MM running 19 points death magic = 11 x level 21 minions, more than enough meat shield and no exhaustion of corpses

I'm not yet certain I'll settle into Discord, but it's certainly an option. The problem is that with Invoke nerfed, there is no replacement template that's as good and as effective in all areas of the game. Fire Eles work to some extent, but against monsters with huge armour vs. Fire (Destroyers, Burning Spirits, etc) they're clearly subpar. What's going to take the place? Discord stands out as one of the few options around. I'm not convinced it's ideal yet, but I won't say it's weak either (I never did). Incidentally I'll also say that I find Discord considerably weaker than pre-nerf Invoke Lightning even after change to HM, so this is scraping the bottom of the barrel.

As for Gloom HM, Discord clearly does not work well there because of the massive number of foes. Fire clearly dominates in an AoE contest.

2x Deathly Swarm
4x Searing Flame

Macro all 6 to one key, AoE Discord on steroids. Make mobs explode instantly.

Rest of group throw in imba defense from ST rit/SY player/Emo/whatever. Make sure player carries EBSoH. I don't think it's possible to macro them to one key, let alone force skills that are not on heroes 1-3 by buttons.
