Hi guys! This week I decided to try out something different. Instead of just going with out standard builds and team setups (tank, MM, nuker, bla bla bla) we could pick a single profession out of the 10 available and make a team using characters ONLY with that primary profession (8 monks, 8 necros, etc). This will force us to be creative and try to fill in all the roles in a team by adapting a single profession. In the end, it's just about being silly in GW, confusing the mobs and having some serious fun. So if you like this idea, pick two professions from the poll and we can start to get organized to try it out on one of the next Sunday evenings. A few pointers: - We can split players in the usual balance roles (healers/prot, melee, midline, etc)...or we could just try anything that synergizes!
- Secondary professions are whichever you prefer
- Be prepared to try new things and to die a few (?) times while we adjust things!
- No Ursan/Wolven/Raven Blessing! That would be far too easy!
This may sound bonkers but it's actually doable! Others have done it before and enjoyed it quite a lot so there's not reason we can't do the same

I've gone for the two that i think can perform best in this type of thing, Paragon and Necromancer. Paragons are obviously well known for their "God Mode"/Save Yourself build which adds a hell of alot of protecting to the team providing they stay in earshot. They also have some good party wide healing skills as well as attack buffs so all in all they should do quite well. Necros are obviously more than adequate healers (N/Rt), damage dealers and have the added bonus of the good ol' minion army to tank damage. I guess the one thing that will limit this will be what profesions we all have, i know theres a lot of active Eles in the guild as well as rangers (these would be hard to do tho) I'm a little excited by this event (am i sad?) so I hope i'll be free to come along. I'm even focusing on capping some skills that might be useful

Great! Yeah, I agree with you Morgan. Rits, Paras and Necros synergize really well. The others will pose a bigger challenge (8 sins, 8 wars...lol). Fist can make his dream come true and try out a Sin Monk...lol! I've read about an 8-man Ele team that cleared FoW so it's definitely doable! 8 monk teams should be fun with a devastating combination of smiters and 600/50hp tanks...that is, until we face a mob of mesmers/necros I guess this will take some time to prepare and for people to get their chars up to scratch so we might not do it just this week and save it for the next one. I was hoping to have this regularly, every 3-4 weeks or so, each time with a different profession. It's gonna be a blast BTW, making a CCCP Paragon team might be hard. I don't know about you guys but I don't have one and Steelman is the only one I can remember that has one! The same can be said about Mesmers, I guess.

Well I have a necro, monk,elle, ranger,rit and dervh that are lvl 20. However my necro,rit and dervh currently serve as storage chars. I also have a lvl 3 mesmer, but he also serves as storage. Sadly I have no free char slots and dont think I will be able to make a parragon.

6 Elementalists 2 Monks
I have other characters so i can do a necro i think.

that defeats the purpose of the event tho...a team consisting of only one profession

maybe 8 terra tanks? With cons we are invincible and every single terra ele can clear a separate area:D

Looks like Ele is gonna win, thought it would as its probably the one profession we all have. I think we should try and use all aspects of an ele tho (although 8 terra tanks would be funny , lots of aoe damage help by a hydromancer snaring the bastards to keep them in the kill zone after a terra tank has gone in and bunched them all up
