In lieu of a third backline hero, a fifth Mesmer can be run instead of the SoS Resto. An extra mesmer provides additional damage and shutdown at the cost of reduced direct healing. This substitution is preferred (a) if the player is running a defensive build, (b) if the player is running an SoS ritualist, or (c) in areas where the extra healing is unnecessary. The fifth mesmer can either be an additional Domination Magic Mesmer (for more offense) or a second Illusion Magic Mesmer (for stability):

SoS Prot Variant[]
It is situationally advantageous to run Protection Prayers secondary on the SoS Melee Support Hero over Restoration Magic. This variant is preferred in scenarios in which the player is expected to tank a large share of the damage. This is often the case with aggressive playstyles or when frequently employing tactics such as cornerblocking:

A downside of Protection Prayers (compared to Restoration Magic) is its lack of direct and party healing and is thus weaker in areas with heavy degeneration or area of effect damage.
Zei Ri or Single Mercenary Variant[]
If you only have access to Zei Ri or a single Mercenary Hero, this build can be adapted by replacing the Ineptitude Command with a Blinding Surge Command Elementalist. This substitution maintains both a source of AoE blind and command support:

Fight will make heroes more proactive when engaging the enemy and less likely to waste time kiting.
Guard will prevent heroes from accidentally aggroing nearby groups.
If you play this team as a melee, micro the splinter weapon support hero to maintain Strength of HonorCoreMonk. Smiting Prayers 8Strength of HonorEnchantment SpellWhile you maintain this Enchantment, target ally deals 16 more damage in melee.-110215 on you.
Invite the hero to your party.
Click on the number next to the hero in the party window. This opens the hero control panel.
Hold down left shift and left click once on strength of honour. A red crossed circle shows that it is disabled.
Target yourself (standard hotkey: F) and left click once on strength of honour. The hero will now cast the enchantment on you and maintain it.
Repeat step 4 if the enchantment gets removed in combat.
Advanced users can set a custom hotkey for Action: Order Hero # to use Skill # in the controls options to force heroes to use certain skills.

Communing 16Armor of UnfeelingSkillFor 37 seconds, your spirits within earshot take 50% less damage and are immune to critical attacks.5120 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 #.
Notes[]
In 6-man areas, this build can be adapted by the removal of party members:
This provides two additional points in Inspiration Magic and a chance to halve the recharge time of inspiration magic spells, at the cost of -4 maximum energy and a reduced chance to halve the recharge time of Domination Magic spells.

Energy Surge for increased AoE shutdown for more difficult areas/quests.
