First things first:
The Bow: http://gw.gamewikis.org/wiki/Royen%27s_Hornbow
The Boss: http://gw.gamewikis.org/wiki/Royen_Beastkeeper
The Build:
Monk/Mesmer
Equipment:
Typical 55 equipment here... Make sure you also have a -20hp item as well, that is the key to this build. I am pictured with a -50 item, but that's because I was done killing him, and i felt like putting it back on :P
-Any sword/axe with an enchantment grip of +18% or higher.
-The -50 Focus Item and a -20 item. (Important!)
-Tattos from Lion's Arch, with 5 superior runes.
Walk Thru:
Okay, start at Senji's Corner, and exit out into Naphui Quarter (explorable). With your -50 item equipped, run the path in the provided map, untill you get to this point here...
...At which, you will aggro that group down there of Am Fah like an idiot and get your stupid self killed. Here's where that -20 Item comes into play. As soon as you res, Equip your -20 item, now you should have 13 HP. Re-cast your enchants, and proceed on down the path.
At certain points where you face large groups, use Illusion of Haste to get by them into a safe spot and let your energy regen. It is vital that you are not casting away your enchants, as you do not have blessed signet here. When you get to the bridge, draw all the baddies away, and sprint across the bridge that connects to the area with Royen. Once here, comes the tough part.
You will need to eliminate the Jade Brotherhood Ritualists first. If there are more than 2 that spawn togeather, this will be tricky, but not impossible. As long as you keep whacking the hell out of him, his and his comrade's soothing memories will be no match for your IW.
Once the ritualists are down, next on your hit list is Royen's Pet, an Elder Crane. A few swings of your sword with IW up should drop the bird in no time. Eliminating his pet is essential to the success of your run, as Royen's pet is the medium that he uses to poison you. With no poison, you will no longer need Healing Breeze. The +4 pip regen of mending will be more than enough healing.
After you have taken out Royen's pet, the mesmers are the next to go. Taking them out couldn't be easier. Just repeat the previous strategy.
There should be at least one Knight hanging out with him, keep him alive so you can leech off the energy he's providing you through Balthazar's Spirit.
You may have noticed that I have chosen to bring Conjure Phantasm. This is due to the fact that all bosses have a natural +3 health regen pip, and he uses troll ungent. He casts it too fast, so its not really worth interrupting. You can try.. but its a waste of time. Using conjure phantasm will render his skills useless. Keeping it on him should be fairly easy. Remember, at this point you should not be having to cast Healing Breeze, so you should have enough energy.
Just keep slashing away at him with IW up, and he'll be down in no time.
Well, thanks for reading. If you have any questions, my IGN is Alexi Vittu. Thanks
