Use the LFG tool and http://gw2.ninja/timer to get into HoT map events.
The AB meta needs to be completed 100 times for an achievement, and the TD meta is farmed for Chak Eggs (for a weapon collection). VB is also done frequently for the Bladed Armour pieces. DS is also done frequently because it’s a unique source of quite a few stat combinations and Cryst Ore. All in all, the HoT map events won’t be dying out any time soon.
As for running a mes in HoT, I’ve been using full zerk Chrono with Blink, Time Warp, and some wells. Well of precognition has taken my decoy slot, and well of recall allows for more frequent casting of spells. All in all great for world/group events. If you’re just roaming around or opening chests, consider taking the older skills like decoy, mass invis, and mantra of resolve. I’ve dropped the mantra from my solo build though, for the inspiration trait line for condi cleanse on shatter. Defensive skills/traits are a definite must in HoT for sure, especially when you are fighting things like Chak that hit hard but have low hp. And you’ll want to be running zerk/assassin for the damage output.
