I heard a lot of talk with "We should do HA sometimes", or similar stuff, but I never saw a topic emerge. So I'll do it myself ;)

This post is primarily to see if we can get 8 people together who want to do HA, and who can be online at certain times so we could actually form a team.

So if everyone who'd be interested could A. Announce which professions are usable and B. What time would be best, that would be a huge step forward :)

Also, we'd need a build. I vote we do a pressure build first, because it's easier to set up then a proper spike team. I was thinking in the lines of Contagion or a variation of this, or RaO/SH Pressure. I don't know wether these builds are used nowadays, but hey, we need to start somewhere, and we don't know shit about the metagame.

Anyway, i can come as every caster and as ranger, though i prefer to be in a healing role
As for when i can, i prefer either the friday, or sunday evening. I have some freedom in changing my availability however

I look forward to your reactions.

Oh, and I know contagion has been slightly nerfed, but it's still possible in that set up. And otherwise, variations ftw :)

I'm in. I would feel most comfortable playing a pressure Warrior, tho I can do N and E as well.

Friday and/or Sunday work for me, as do most other days as long as we agree on it a day or so in advance.

It is great to see a topic about the Heroes' Ascent. It has been introduced to my by Raven who isn't withing us anymore, but I still like it. I would like to get a high Rank in Guild Wars and I am always in for some HA. I am only a Monk though, which I have every build, most of them almost mastered.

PS: There is one little problem, I had Vent a long time ago, but I've got some problems with the new one and I can't get in on anymore, I'll try it again if we're up for some HA

We could have a vent server available in OBE. Healex Talo Monsuts aka Frosty Head is looking into it for us.

Well, I still didn't repair the Ventrilo on my computer, and I'm gonna look if there is a new Ventrilo. I hope it will work because I have my headset with mic all ready :-))

Just saw this thread, and, yes, I'll join.

Outside of Monk, though, I am limited. I have a Mesmer, which I use for AB right now. I actually use it as a Fast casting Nuker/Capper.

Let me know what options are needed.

You can check builds for any character espacially for Heroes' Ascent.

And Ry, I can't log on with the old vent, when I try to log on, it says it requires vent..3.0.0 or whatever it is now

Right, this seems to lead to a stalemate, so it's time to do something about it. I'll post a few builds that should work proper. As i said before, there's no real base for this, just a wee bit common sense and a lot of hopeful luck.

Anywayz, melee chars. I'd say 2, no more, no less. Nowadays, R/D seems the metagame, but going for, say, a shock axe and a devastating hammer warrior (or backbreaker, something which knockdowns) to tell casters (monks for example) to stay down.

also important, healing. Now, my own preference would be 2 N/Rt, one with preservation and one with Weapon of remedy, i think we have to use normal mo/me's. One healers Boon and one RC, probably.

Now then, 4 down, 4 to go. I'd say we take a Me/N fast casting tainted flesh spammer. Diseasing the enemy while shutting down the possible enemy RC monk: That just has fun spelled in capital letters, like this: F U N!

Observant build checkers may see that this build is looking an awful lot like the degenway. That is correct. Though i would like to try Contagion one day, this seems like an eeexcellent build, because every character is pretty straightforward to play. This opposed to Contagion, where you need some suicidal Necro's. Let's try THAT out later.

Anyway, for the last 3: straight forward, either 2 SF eles, or 2 SH eles. It's damage, it's fun, and it's pretty standard. One of those ele's needs "make haste" though, if we want to stand a chance in Relic runs. Come to think of it, that problem can be solved with 2 RaO's. But that's just crazy talk. :)

The last spot (the one that gave me the most headache to come up with) i vote to make a variation of the OoS ritualist, with the weapon spells spamming still intact, but using more rit skills and bringing SoC. Hey, someone has to.

Okay, as for who plays what. Keep in mind that this is just one misguided soul, with only your preferences you posted to assign the roles

For the warriors, Kaylah and Bender (Gee, who didn't see that coming?)
For the monks (Hey, this one IS interesting, with 4 monks and only 2 spots) I put in Falco and Kali.
For the mesmer, i was thinking of Scrip (Provided Anet gets busy and fixes the problems he's been having)
For the eles, i was thinking of Ry and person to be named (Yes, we are only 7)
And, before everyone makes the brilliant deduction, the rit spot will be my responsibility.

If you'd like to comment on these vague sketches of ideas, please do. With enough feedback, i might be able to convert to actual skillbar setup's.
So, in other words, start the angry yelling because i did not give someone the role he or she preferred ;) No, in all seriousness, please be as much of a critic as possible, with flawed builds we'll be boned anyway.

Waylon (With aching fingers now, thank you very much :))

Sounds like a very good idea to me :-)), but I want to add that I can be a N/Rt Healer too in PvP, I don't have all skills for the Ritualist part but I started a Necromancer PvE on purpose, to see how and why.

I hope others will agree with this and maybe we'll get there in these Hall of Heroes

I played a ton yesterday without issues.

It'll be fun getting out of the healing role. Sometimes I think the AB meta game keeps me sane, 'cause I get a chance to do damage ... a lot of damage. Playing a Mesmer in HA should prove fun, as well.

Give me the skill bar set-up and I'll make it happen.

Right, we've got enough people, and even some reserves in case somebody can't make it. That's good. Now, only a few people actually posted when they could play. I propose we try friday, either after 8PM CET because i've seen most online during that time, or maybe after 2PM CET (I'm not kidding here, that time is actually called noob hour because Korea and America have very few playing then).

Please let me know how that works for you guys.

As for builds, I'll post some meta builds.

Warriors have theirs already, and i don't, so let them post it.

RC monk: OwUTMsHDXSLamgi4uSg4BsmwEA (Don't ask me what aura is for, probablyfor HB monk)

HB monk: OwUTMwGDVikoBcj4j4mACMuyEA (Spotless mind and heal party are not written in stone)

Fast cast taint: OQRTAwxW2JOoGa++gewDooKAA (Dunno 'bout this one, build seems good, but never played anything like it)

SH/SF Ele: I don't know which one will be played, so i'll post one of both. Ele´s can pick

SH: OgBSoYGPkViRREZ0LAA4CBA (Needs a snare)
SF: OgNTkQFz0huNWbaIDcRsoVIAA (This would be with another ele with Make haste and SoC, but i gave SoC to the rit)

Ritualist: OAmjEyiM5MHXM21m49hHmjzLGA (I have NO CLUE if this works, but that's why i want to try it myself)

There, one step closer

Oh right, also equipment: Let's put it like this: No superior runes except Vigor, anyone who isn't sporting survivors insignia needs a good reason (A verry good reason O_O), and other means of raising your health and armor are advisable.

2 things: First, what's that in GMT? I am GMT -6 and have no idea how to convert CET. 2nd, can my build please not be called "taint" [I'll PM what that is in the United States, if it doesn't translate across the world]?

And, Bender, I only have a Sundering Hammer haft, not an Ebon. But, like I said, I have this hammer on Goren.
