I often run my heroes as Minion Master or Spiteful Spirit. I run my necro as SS or something similar because MM is just to busy for me and I can't click those damned minions for squat. But I won't complain if you switch things up and go more support-oriented either. Like I said, my only real complaint was the monk and her PvP build that was useless in PvE. I wouldn't have minded if the Rit had some too, but they have some fun dps skills. I just don't want to be "that guy" who comes off like he's telling people how to play because I get pissed when people do that to me. I’m all for death-dealing necros!

I did have mesmer as my secondary though. I think my Rotting Flesh might have contributed to my aggro, the only multi target effect (disease) I had in my build. But I certainly think I need to switch in a bit more supportive skills for next time. Did not do that bad on the DP side, but that was more thanks to you than my own making ;) Nice write-up!

I tend to look at who's in the fight vs. who the mobs are giving their attention to, and you were consistently on my heal list! I was really only upset at the monk for bringing a knife to a gun fight. She was essentially just along for the ride, only dismissing conditions (yeah, that can be important) and not bringing along a rez or anything else that would have helped us (and me) out. I'll fess up and admit that while I wasn't worked up about it, I did behave childishly, always rezzing her last to express my annoyance. Nah, you did fine.

Failed to realise just how harshly Volfen Blessing had been hit in the patch, so had a completely inappropriate Comedy Build on :) Learning experience though, and next time we'll do better; in my own case, lots more Interrupts. The Wurm Bile was the real killer, but interruptible. Managed to do it a few times, but only had the one interrupt skill...needs several. Good stuff though! Partly my fault, must admit.

Now you have me wanting to check Guild Wars more seriously. I've only ever dabbled around in it. Wow, great post! Now you have me wanting to check Guild Wars more seriously.
