Gate of Pain Problems
A R R O W E D
Hey, I'm playing Dervish, and I can't get anywhere in Gate of Pain. First, I could get to the second Tortureweb Dryder, but then the Tormented killed my party. At this point, though, I can't even get to the first set of Terrorweb Dryders. Help?

Only problems on the Dervish, huh? I know with BHA, it's supposed to be much easier.

It's because you're over aggroing. You have to pull the mobs away from their original point, and watch where the other mobs go.

As he said. As with any character, playing with all henchies you HAVE to watch aggro. I find you have to constantly anchor them with your flags and pull mobs away from other mobs.
Also, i NEVER EVER attack a Tortureweb Dryder unless he is completely alone. OFten you have to clear all surrounding mobs + patrols before taking on the Torturewebs. Avoid fighting mobs + Tortures at all costs since they not only do extra dmg like regular bosses, but have lots of AoE.
Oh ya, and with all the Terrorwebs around, make sure to bring at least 2 sources of interrupts. I find the Mesmer henchy and a ranger Hero work great, so when you face more then one dryder you can assign the ranger to attack a different dryder then the rest of ur party... helps immensly.
The first time i did this, it was with my Dervish, the first character i brough through Nightfall. I didnt bring a SINGLE interrupt and i passed the mission with masters in the first try. Why? Cause its all about aggro, dont ever over aggro, always pull, retreat using flags when necessary and you will be fine.

Also spread out your heros/hench to avoid AOE party wipe.

Got masters on it with three chars using only hero/henches. Like the others said, its all about watching aggro.
Never ever attack a tortureweb dryder unless its by itself. Because even by itself, it can wipe out your party if you are clustered together. Put in an interrupter e.g. ranger or mesmer and make dunkoro prot with protective spirit (manually use on ur party as needed).
This is a very easy mission if you just watch your aggro and retreat when needed. If you dont, then party wipe takes seconds.

Interupting heroes are you're friend for that mission. Dryders are cake when they can't cast anything.
