We're proud to present the first AI POWERED WORLD RECORD of Guild Wars.

Strategy Adjustments
Control and Shutdown: The Mesmer focuses on crowd control, interrupting key enemy abilities, and reducing their effectiveness in combat.
Healing and Protection: The Monk now handles both healing and providing protective spells, critical for sustaining the team through tough fights.
Damage and Utility: The Ritualist and Elementalist provide support and area control, using spirits for defense and water magic for slowing and damaging enemies.
Versatility and Adaptability: The Necromancer uses curses to weaken enemies and provide energy to the team, enhancing overall combat effectiveness.
Hybrid Warrior/Dervish: This build combines the Warrior’s disruptive capabilities with the Dervish’s versatility and damage output, especially useful in managing multiple enemy types simultaneously.
Tactical Considerations
Tight Coordination: This smaller team requires tight coordination, especially in managing aggro and using area control effectively.
Energy Management: With fewer members, managing energy, especially for the Mesmer, Monk, and Elementalist, becomes crucial. The Necromancer’s BiP is vital here.
Adapting to Threats: Each member must be adept at switching targets and adapting roles as the situation changes. For example, the Monk may need to focus more on protection during intense fights or quickly shift to healing when necessary.
This setup ensures a balance between damage output, control, and survivability, which is key in a 6-man team tackling hard mode areas in Guild Wars. It’s essential to utilize each member's abilities to their fullest to compensate for the smaller team size.
