Collecting hard mode mission tips, strategies & builds

Since I have not seen any discussions specific to completing missions in hard mode, I started to collect tips, strategies, and builds that have been offered on other fan sites specifically with respect to mission+bonus in hard mode. I'll not link to GW wiki since information there is organized already in easy to find formats. Hopefully, this will alleviate some of the inevitable hair-pulling for those that wish to acquire guardian titles. If anyone has any tips that they have used to successfully complete missions+bonus in hard mode, feel free to post here. I'll index them.
