This is a general 7 hero build to accompany a melee player profession in Normal and Hard Mode areas of the game. It utilizes the damage of 5 paragons, combined with an Orders Necro for extra damage, giving a solid defense and offense to the team. The build provides defense in the form of shouts, minions, and protective skills.
