So I am again here, in GW, and I would like to know what are the godtier hero builds nowadays for general PVE both NM and HM, and for elite zones (DoA, FoW, UW, etc).

Why not show what heroes you have and what your current hero set up is?

I got the typical 2-rit hero midline, 2-mesmer midline (panic and domination), 2 eles for damage and one minion master.

I have got almost all heroes, except for GW beyond ones.

The thing is I would like to know If there are some builds for elite zones and vanquishing that have really good speed clears.

Also would like to know more about the metagame in end-game PVE, as new changes gave monsters more hp and less armor, and eles became more viable and people with armor-ignoring damage was nerfed. I dont like the fact that mesmer-rit-necro are always in a team, why are other professions "not viable" and rarely seen?

Not helpful when you don't post builds.

There aren't any speed clear builds for heroes.

You'll have to dig up old threads for DoA. FoW isn't nearly as hard and I linked to UW for you above.

The beauty of GW is that you're not forced to take necro/mesmer/rit because everyone else do it, just consider it would be a bit harder.

I sometimes run a Tease/Smite build on Dunkuro, it works quite well as support character together with a monk healer. Eles can provide for extra prot with Aegis/ProtSpirit. Just put your nugget to it and I'm sure you can find alternative builds that's not in the meta. It doesn't have to be 100% optimal, more importantly is you're enjoying the game

I'd say there are 2 team builds (more concepts really) that work the best in PvE, the first on is the generic dual spirit spam, MM, 2 mesmers +extra (supportway on pvx wiki basicly).
The other method is the one Cuilan posted, going physical yourself and corner blocking/spiking. The first method is micro free, the second one micro intense. However EFGjack showed us the sky is the limit with his build so you could say it's better.
