User:Xanshiz/Team - 7 Hero BiP Z-Way

Modernized adaptation of Z-Way featuring a Blood is Power necromancer and a high fast casting mesmer midline. The inclusion of a Panic and two Ineptitude mesmers provides ample defense, often displaying similar defensive capabilities to compositions with a dual restoration magic backline. Intended for a DPS caster player build.

Player Build Suggestions
Some exemplary player builds are as follows:

Usage

 * Hero AI mode:
 * Set backline heroes to guard Guard.png
 * Set midline heroes to fight Fight.png or guard Guard.png
 * Fight Fight.png will make heroes more proactive when engaging the enemy and less likely to waste time kiting.
 * Guard Guard.png will prevent heroes from accidentally aggroing nearby groups.
 * Before starting a particularly difficult fight, you can force the communing prot to use [[Shelter@16]↦[[Union@16]→[[Displacement@16]⇥[[Armor of Unfeeling@16] so your team is fully protected right away.
 * If you're afraid of area damage, you can also flag the heroes apart. It is recommended to place them in a single line, so heroes won't push forward to get into casting range of foes and thus ball with the heroes in front of them again.
 * Natively only the first three heroes can be commanded individually. For the remaining four heroes you need to set up custom hotkeys in the controls option for Action: Command Hero #.
