The build is basically meant solely for casters to use solely in hero teams. Yes, there are other builds that are better in general, but for hero teams it's extremely helpful to have a melee in the team to tank, ball, and bodyblock, none of which heroes can do on their own. It's not a great build, which most of the people rating have recognized, but it does have its uses. It doesn't matter a whole lot at this point because it's been put in Good (which is where it should probably belong) but I just thought I'd explain the reasoning for the build. -- Jai . -  18:52, July 24 2011 (UTC)
 * Well, the way i was thinking you don't need more damage for any 7 hero team, or 3 hero for that matter with advent of mesmers/discord/sabway. Monks can heal, or heck do RoJ, Necros can do SS (cuz heroes are bad at placement), mesmers can do panic(cuz again, heroes cant place), rits can do spirits(cuz pre-using and summoning up is better than using in battle), eles can do ER protter(cuz its godway and heroes are bad without micro), and tbh, i can ball on my casters just as easy as i can with a melee :/..and it's not as if you need to bodyblock/tank in pve...2/3 mes and 1/2 rit+rest=lolpve afkway Roland 19:23, 24 July 2011 (UTC)
 * Yes, but if you're seriously playing (that is, not cspacing) having a melee makes things far more efficient. You did list some decent builds for each caster prof, but none of those are melee.
 * See, the way things used to be before the 7 hero update was that there was no way to bring massive amounts of AoE damage, so the best you could do was pick off things one-by-one and add some AoE so that the next target might be softened up a little. Now, with 7 heroes, there are enough damage skills you can bring that you can blow up an entire mob at once. But in order to do this, you have to ball stuff up, and having a melee with IAU (and Great Dwarf Armor for a caster) can do a far better job of pulling, balling, and bodyblocking than any caster build. Not to mention that a well-used Splinter Weapon + ARage equates to about 350 AoE damage.
 * The build is essentially made for people who still want to use their casters (like me, because my main is a monk) but also want to be able to nuke the hell out of nearly any mob, not just the ones that ball themselves. -- Jai . -  20:45, July 24 2011 (UTC)

Well now I can't see what roland's vote reasoning was :/ but your reasoning sounds perfectly adequate, I don't think you needed to change your vote.-- Relyk 22:15, 24 August 2011 (UTC)
