Build:Team - 7 Hero Petway

Make your way through PvE with a team full of Beastmasters. You have 8 pets and they are an excellent meat wall and do a lot of damage. With Together as One and Battle standard of Honor you give them a strong boost.

"Together as One!"

Enraged Hero x3
[build prof=Ranger/P bea=12+1+3 exp=9+1 Spe=9 Command=3][Barbed Spear]["We Shall Return!"][Enraged Lunge][Predator's Pounce][Scavenger Strike][Call of Haste][Otyugh's Cry][Comfort Animal][/build]

Equipment

 * Armor
 * 5x Beastmaster Insignia


 * Weapons
 * Any Spear of Fortitude with "I have the power!" (5 energy)
 * Any Shield of Fortitude


 * Pet
 * Dire Racing Beetle


 * Note
 * You can change these 3 heroes for the optional Heal as One heroes.
 * If you think "We Shall Return!" is too much on all 3 heroes you can drop some for Call for Protection.

Usage

 * This is quite Straightforward. It depends on a pet wall. It has 0 interrupts or aoe dmg. But pets are great tanks and soak up a lot of dmg.


 * Heroes that are not rangers (dervish and paragon) sometimes refuse to resurrect their pets. If that happens you need to micro them.


 * No heroes have caster armor. It means foes will prioritize attacking pets most of the time.


 * If you go to hard areas like Slaver's Exile or WoC in HM then you could drop an Heal as One Ranger for a 3rd Dwayna healer if you find survivability to be a problem.

Counters

 * Massive blind on pets
 * Mobs with Energy surge (a Mesmer boss with this skill can wipe balled up pets)
 * To much AOE dmg pets don't scatter
