That's about the best Hib has to offer at the moment, and it's pretty good.

savage train - eld dead.

 

[sardine]

As only caster the Eld would go down like a sack of spuds....

 

[old.Downanael]

that str/con debuff not worth it imo,and as they say Eld is dead on 2 secs

 

[gwal]

hib has 2 great setups.

1 bard
1 warden
2 druid
1 eld
2 chanters
1 hero

2 bard
2 druid
1 hero
3 blade masters

both have their advantages and disadvantages, but are very good, and most definatly competative on the battlefield

 

[vintervargen]

8 buffbotted rangers assisting, will oneshot everything except a shield tank ^^

 

[Ahqmae]

Mana elds have, besides the insta ae debuff, a nice 3 min disease. On top a couple of snare dds and with moc+guarder he can keep the train away for some time every 30 mins.

If he's left unguarded he's useless. If he doesn't use his utils properly he's useless.

Mages in RvR as a Hib ain´t an option. They´re dead within seconds.

wrong m8, it goes like this:

savage train - dont matter what they hit, dead in 2 sec.

^^

 

[liloe]

can also do:
-bard
-druid reg/nat
-druid reg/nurt
-druid
-bm
-bm
-bm /hero
-hero

I think you can swich around with the chars you have....2 bards is also nice, as you WILL get an ae mezz off and end song will be instantly on

 

[bone_idle]

Was doing perfectly fine with an Animist & Bard earlier in mid frontier.

 

[Happlo]

For 1fg groups best go with a more tank orientated set up, as you will last longer and be able to take out pretty much any Mid/Alb pick up group out there. However Hib field the weakest tank group of all 3 realms due to the uber gankage of Savage/Healer groups and Albs 2x BoF groups.

The solution???

Run 2fg's, you can bring casters (hibs strongest point) back into your groups with ALOT more success. My advice would be setups like this (Tested as guild groups and it works well) :-

1x Main Assist (BM, CS/Slam Hero etc)
1x Reg/Nat Druid
1x Reg/Nurt Druid
1x Bard
1x Warden or S+S Tank
1x Debuffer (Chanter or Void Eld)
1x Caster with dmg type to compliment said debuffer (Another Chanter, Light Ment/Eld if your debuffer is a Chanter OR an Arb speced Animist packs a punch with a Voidie debuffing Body)
1x Mana Eldritch (Disease, Str/Const Debuff and Snare DD all great)

This set up x2 works great and i've had some of my best fights as 2fg Vs 2fg+ And with 6 casters and a total of 16 people the assist trains just cant take you out fast enough before all your other casters have done the dmg. We found that casters in our groups lasted longer in fights or didnt die at all!!! (Wtf? A caster not dieing in a fight you say!!)

Anyhoo, thats just my 2cents

 

[den_arid]

I like

druid
druid
warden
3xbm
hero (50shield)
bard

prefer warden to second bard --> resist buffs good heals and pbt is fine vs first slam or something

 

[stroopwafel]

bard
druid
druid
hero
chanter
chanter
eld
eld

Shame that albs can meet only with guild grps, so we can't test any new setup.

 

[amazingsteve]

Last night we ran in this group setup:

-bard
-druid
-druid
-BM
-shield tank
-enchanter/mana eld
-mana eld
-void eld

At one point the mana eld got switched for the enchanter I think
Worked quite well actually, hope to make this kind of group more often.

 

[old.Sko]

2 x bm
2 x hero
2 x bard
2 x druid

works great.
reasoning
2x bard - speed6 and guaranteed end in combat + 2 cc'ers
2x druid - obvious
2x hero - (50 lw/50 shield/28 blade) one hero works on peeling off support/guarding, second offensive slam/anni as applicable

 

[den_arid]

wardens are underrated oO

 

[Event]

bard - dont need 2 if bard is good
drood nat/reg
drood reg/nurt - for resists and rebuff dead
BM
BM
BM
s/s hero - slam inc to droods
warden - resists + pbt

Initial buffs by bb

I don't like your BM, bring back the luri!!!

 

[old.willowywicca]

I might after ToA or something, if things get so fecked up that even hybrids can compete again

I do believe that determination is the thing to be nerfed next by mythic, and we all know how they handle nerfs.

3blademasters (pierce ofc)
2bard
1hero/warden
1druid


that is TEH group imo
