Archive:Team - 3 Hero Melee Support

These hero builds are designed to support a melee player in 4-man areas. The MM and SoS provide plenty of additional bodies to compensate for the small party size, leaving the player primarily responsible for damage boosted by potent buffs.

 * A minion bomber hero can sub for this bar if more AoE damage is desired, though you should be ready for your minion wall to provide less defensive benefit. It should also bring Protection Prayers optionals.
