I really can't seem to get a handle on all the mobs. My current problem is Free birds. Can anyone give me some hero build advice? Plus I have unlocked all skills so I can run any build.

Thanks

Start with posting your current hero builds, and we will work from there.

This is what I used.
I never get wiped even once since part 2-3 with this build

Never party with anyone. 7 heroes only

Before Zei Ri, I use Searing flame, no aoe.

Edit: I'm R/A Dagger with Wastrel's Collapse for jumping into ball enemy

Now, for your first screenshot

1. MM is a lot of work. You need death nova if you play mm and that's a ton of death nova micro . I recommend you go curse like your 2rd screenshot. But use Echo spiteful spirit. Drop insidious/empathy; It costs too much energy. Go for low energy spell and e-management skill. I don't play necro so I don't know if AP caller would be better.

2. kick 2 warrior out and add Mesmer + Fire elementalist or necro(mm or curse) General rule of hard mode - No melee hero ( unless you know what you're doing)

3. Change your monk. Dwayna kiss doesn't work, no enchant. glype will be used only before hero cast heal other unless you micro = dam slow heal. Signet devotion 2 sec; too slow. Words of comfort, no condition.

4. Both your Ritualist share Recuperation. Drop Razah and use ST build. To whoever says that you can't use mm+st, I beat part 2-3 hm with 0 wipe, no con, 7 heroes. It works fine, especially if you micro ST against mission like the one before Reiko, flag ST at Palace and manually drop Shelter when aoe hit party. Or just go ele ward/harm for non-micro.

5. Too much healing, I recommend keeping SoS and play him with Channeling+ restoration and drop Master of whisper out. Add another DPS,

6. Your Mesmer have too much e-management. Drop cry, ether feast, and e-drain. Use wastrel's demise, spiritual pain, unnatural signet. Take out leech signet for Ether signet. Power drain is great interrupt spell with low recharge. Who cares if enemy get extra 7 energy >.> They have like unlimited pool

That should help you a little bit.

For your own build you may also find it useful to take Pain Inverter and/or Technobabble instead of Ebon Sin Support / Summon Mursaat. I found those 2 to be really effective for stopping AoE damage, especially for things like Raid on Kaineng Centre.

Thanks all of for your advice. I just rescued the all birds with a slightly modified markway. The key was taking buh instead of the assassin support.

Now I can't seem to survive Finding Jinnai. I can't seem to move fast enough and kill fast enough to get to the bomb sites. Need more advice.

Thanks again.

Still using markway

You can just camp the spot where Jinnai is.

I recommend AOTL over ST rit.

I just beat it by doing that, getting my assassin's promise right and a bit of luck. Although I almost lost it, most of us were down but I had one resser left and enough peace to get everyone back up.

almost there, I just have the final confrontation but I now have a problem of running out of energy and getting overwhelmed by her spawns and back up.

never mind, I just loaded up discorday and they went down. WOOT!!!!!
