i was just woundering to hear you guys best team build that had worked best for you in uw, heres mine:

1x ranger me

2x monks
3x warriors
2x eles

so me and one of the monks lay about 8-9 traps (monk had second prof as ranger )
the three extreme good tanks make a line/wall right behind the
traps, i lure them, the mobs charge into the warriors (and cant get through)
traps trigger, warriors attack, me and the eles use good AoE spells on them
(fire storm, meteor storm, phonix barrage etc.) monks heal. this way the "weak" cant be touched by the mobs, since there is a good solid wall of tanks

so now i want to here you guys good tean build for UW.. thanx.

PS: ofcourse, the best i have tried was a trapper gruop

2 monks, no one else. More loot, more experience, and no need to deal with annoying people.

If you didn't feel like trapping, a group like this is nigh-unstoppable

2 Warrior tanks
2 Monks - 1 Protection, 1 Healing
1 Necro using blood skills to regen the Monks
1 Mesmer using shutdown skills
1 Ele to nuke
1 Ranger for single target damage

That's usually my ideal group for FoW or UW... however, I usually can't find that, so I make do with what's available. An extra Ele instead of the Mesmer doesn't hurt usually.

EDIT: Forgot to add this - the members must work well together and follow called targets. One rogue member causes death for all.

My actual team for uw is

2 Rangers
2 Eles
2 Monks

Sometimes we add 1 warrior, that is my best friend and does a nice dmg quantity, just to speed up things.

with this 6 build we can do a Black widow spider run in 1 hour sharp. Cleaning everything. With no deaths.

I think is a nice build.

In my experience, having more than one warrior is a nuisance. It is a lot easier for one warrior to gather everything around him, and with a protection monk focussed solely on that warrior it makes things that much easier. In which case I would go:

1 Warrior
1 Protection Monk
1 Healing Monk
3 Elementalist
2 Blood Necro

Well of Power and Blood Ritual make blood necros such an asset when in the UW and FoW. Having two would allow the 3 elementalist to go nuts while keeping the monks with enough energy to keep the whole party healthy in case of any screw ups.

Excluding the rangers, eh? I knew you'd be prejudiced against my kind Rac.

Haha, go figure you'd see this Daeron?

Well you can always swap an ele for a ranger for some extra muslce, and trap setting if need be.

Even when eles can do lots of dmg... traps are awesome... crippling and slowing the axes is great.

I like rangers in my team, specially those who know their trade

Actually traps generally suck for damage against UW mobs; it's the 24 of them stacked in one spot that make them worthwhile.

EDIT: 48 if you carry oath shot.

The best UW party is 5 or 6 intelligent people.

Any more then 1 warrior in Underworld is asking for problems. 1 Warrior is all you need to funnel up each pack of mobs and control aggro with Spirit of Protection and stances on while THE (as in 1 also) Prot/Healing monk keeps him healed easily.

In Underworld the fewer the better. Less people you invite to your party the less chance of it contracting "noob disease", or picking up a griefer, from ToA.

All right, maybe only one warrior is better, as long as the party stays at range and lets the warrior soak up the aggro. I still contend that a party of 8 with 2 monks, 1 healer 1 protector, will have the easiest time, however. I know that you can get by with 5 or 6, and that more leads to higher incidence of griefers, but I still prefer to have 8 when I can. This is why I started a thread over on the Tyrian Explorer's League section:
http://www.guildwarsguru.com/forum/s...ewpost&t=32657
My hope is that those who reply to that won't be among those who have a tendency to cause my party grief...

Amen to that. One warrior using stances is all you need.

Hurrah for tactics.

The most effective group would probably be 2 prot monks to tank, 1 healing monk to heal them, and the rest all eles (some nukers, some air eles).

The 2 prot monks will make sure no mobs get past them while they tank with prot bond, balthazars etc. and the eles take care of the mobs in record time. Maybe put in a necro for BiP and a warrior in case there are enchantment removals flying around.

This is close to what I'd do.

The safest build looks something like this:
1 Warrior
1 Protection Monk
1 Protection/Healer Hybrid w/ Peace and Harmony
1 Divine Boon Healer
1 Necro w/ Blood Ritual and Well of Power
1 Elementalist/Necro w/ Blood is Power, Life Stealing, and Nukes
1 Elementalist Nuker w/ Wards
1 Ranger w/ Traps and Interrupts

It's hard to think of a challenge that this team couldn't face successfully. Of course, with 3 Monks and 2-3 Support Characters, it doesn't have much offense.

I just made so much bank last night in a 5 Ranger group. *sighs* That's the most success I've seen down there. Second best was

2 warrior
2 ranger
2 monk (1 healing/ 1 protection)
2 ele

Didn't have to set down as many traps and it was fun knowing that most of the time the mobs would sit there so I could shoot them afterwards. Then again, this same healing monk was holding people hostage with Unyielding Auras...

Last night i did one that was
1 Warrior (ME)
1 Prot Monk
1 Healer Monk
1 Elementalist

But the healer monk lagged out b4 we got to the smites (It was a smite run)

We carried on without him for a bit but we eventually died. So if we had had the healer monk, we coulda done i but it woulda been faster if we had an extra nuker on board, or a blood necro =)
