Some remarks as a reply to your comments:
 * Untested Teams :There are quite a few builds in testing that you shouldn't overlook when searching for a new team build. As an example for party size 3, there's also Build:Team - 3 Hero Balanced that might be just the kind of build for you if discordway and the aggressive mesmer setups make your nose itch.
 * Partial Teams :Most partial teams (except for those which are quest-specific and/or for running) have been archived, see this section of the community portal. If you think that the last remaining one should go, that'd be the ideal place to suggest it.
 * Likewise, you could suggest that these pages should return to the build namespace.

Good luck finding the team that fits you best! Teams that are currently considered meta feature a triple mesmer midline, BiP + communing prot backline and two gap filler heroes. In case of a melee player one of them is a splinter weapon ritualist. If you have mercenary heroes, you fill the team with more mesmers. If you don't, a dual IMS N/P bone fiend MM is a common filler. In case you plan to find your preferred team by extensive testing, you may aswell make some notes and participate in PvXwiki:Project Standardized Testing. ;) --Krschkr (talk) 03:33, 16 December 2019 (UTC)
 * 7 Hero Discordway :There's currently a discussion about archiving it.
 * 7 Hero Melee Support :Archived just now. That was honestly long overdue, as it had its successor in the BiP Melee Support and BiP Caster Support builds, which have also survived their best days and have recently received a major overhaul. Check the edit history and you'll see striking similarities with the archived build.


 * The other thing I noticed was the surprisingly high number of builds with Major/Superior Runes (other than vigor) on heroes, is that considered normal? Maybe my memory is failing me but I'm certain we used to use Minor runes where any were required. If the ST falls over the lack of HP would surely get them killed. Example: Build:Team - 7 Hero Paneptitude there's a mesmer with two superior runes.. -150hp... 450 total? -- Chieftain Alex (talk) 07:53, 16 December 2019 (UTC)


 * That's a thing that started happening again last year. Due to mesmer midlines teams are effective enough and have sufficient amounts of shutdown to make a near-permanent protection from the ritualist likely, which turns low health pools preferable.
