Archive:Team - 7 Hero BiP Melee Support

This build is part of the current metagame. This build has also received an overall rating in the range from 4.75 to 5.0 and thus qualifies for the highest category of working builds: Great. This build has been designed for the following use: PvE hero PvE team

This is a balanced setup for use with melee players. It provides very strong spikes and decent ability to push kills thanks to a mesmer midline. Blood is Power is used to consolidate the energy management of the team, freeing up skill slots to be used for more offense and support. The Channeling/Smite hybrid is played by a Monk hero (meaning Mercenary heroes and Zei Ri are not required).

Equipment

• Insignias: 1x Bloodstained on head/gloves/shoes, Radiant on rest. Minion Master's if more defense is preferred, but normally unneeded with ST Ritualist protection.

• Weapons: 40/40 Restoration set is optimal, though the hero will be holding PwK the majority of the time.

Notes

• This hero deals a very respectable amount sustained damage, and can compete quite well with the Mesmers on damage output.
• Contrary to popular belief, this hero DOES work well with an ST rit:
  • At 19 Death Magic, Bone Horrors and Shambling Horrors are level 21 and have 500HP and 84 Armor. This makes them more tanky than caster heroes, so they provide an excellent wall between your heroes and enemies.
  • When facing a group of caster enemies, Shelter might die in 1 enemy spellcast. Damage your minions take doesn't need to get healed, so the minions (and Shelter) served their purpose: providing protection for you and your heroes.
