Hi, here are some standard comp you can meet in PUG :You basically need quickness (2 chrono/QFB/QHFB) and alac (2 chrono or 1 alacren) for 10

W1 :

-- VG --

• 2 heal (could be half support)
• 2 to 3 support (could be power or condi dps)
• 1 bs
• 3 power dps
• 2 condi dps

1 of this must be the tank (toughness agro)If 1 of your heal is QHFB (5ppl quickness) then you need 2 support: 1 alac (for 10) and 1 support quickness (chrono/QFB) (for 5)If not you can run 2 chrono (quickness+alac) or 2 QFB/chrono and 1 alac

-- Gorseval --

• 1 bs
• 5 dps

1 of this must be the tank (toughness agro)

There are 3 main ways to setup a standard pug LFG. All 3 are totally fine to pug all w1-4 with. Its up to your preference.

1. FirebrigadeTank chrono, druid, bannerslave, dps, dpsHealfirebrand, alacrity renegade, dps, dps, dpsAlternativly, healfirebrand can tank and you take a condition quickness firebrand, or a power quickness chronomancer to replace the tank chronomancer.

2. Firebrigade p2Tank chronomancer, druid, bannerslave, dps, dpsQuickfirebrand/quickchrono, alacrity renegade, offheal, dps, dpsThis allows you to take a stronger offheal like healscourge or tempest at the cost of some dps.

3. Double chronoTank boon support chrono, druid, bannerslave, dps, dpsOff boon support chrono, offheal, dps, dps, dpsThe boon support chronos will provide both quickness and alacrity.

W1. You will need 2 of the dps to be condition for the first boss, and the rest to be power. Power dps should be used at samarog. Druid will need to know how to kite at sabetha.

W2. Tank is not needed so you can swap that for a quickfirebrand or quickchrono, if you run setup 1 or 2, or offboon chrono if you run setup 3. You will need groupwide stunbreak for sloth. Stand your ground is a good option if you have a guardian. You will need a class that can reflect, preferrably mirage dps at matthias, but chronos or guardians can also do this mechanic. Power dps is needed at sloth and condition at matthias.

W3. At least 1 mesmer is needed to do portals for escort so I'd recommend you run setup 1 or 3 for this wing. Druid will need to know how to push orbs at KC. DPS should be power at KC.

W4. condition dps should be used at cairn. Power dps at samarog. Deimos needs a handkiter so one of the dps should be able to swap to that role at deimos. Druid or offheal should know how to blackkite if you are doing range strat.

This should get you started. Its a bit outdated abd doesn't include 10 quickness chrono.

chrono=5 men quickness and 5 men alacrityfirebrand (heal or condi)= 5 men quicknessalacrity renegade (heal or power) 10 men alacrityBoon thief=all boons for 10 men 100% uptime EXCEPT alacrity (only works for few bosses)SOLO heal2 chronos1 druid1 bs6 dps
