I've head from more than one source that clearing Tomb of th Primeval King is possible with heroes only, but I'm assuming the person meant heroes/henchies.
Anyone got any ideas for that build? something probably like:
3 b/p's \
1 MM / player as 3rd b/p

1 ranger henchie
2 healers
1 tank(?)

This is the closest config I can think of. Any ideas/experience on this?

ive done it with both a balance group and a bp group with a friend and his heros. so it can be done. the first trip can be dicey if you havent been there much but after you get the movement and pop ups down youll have no trouble

yes it can be done with just you and a hero/hench team. a giuld member of mine can do it with his eyes shut. but you will not get any ecto drops at all if you go in with a hero/hench team,he has done the run many times and not got one. he has posted the biuld here i belive and a video on youtube.

I do it very easily in under one hour and a half.

Im a warrior so im the one agroing the mobs.

W/anything with high dps, a running skill and watch yourself.

Heroes :
1 healing hero (i use glimmer of light which is the best hero heal imo)
1 prot hero (using life sheath but not prot spirit since heroes spam it too much)
1 Searing Flames nuker

Henchmens :
2 healers
2 mage (they causes a lot of burning which goes very well with my SF hero)

----------------------------------

Basically, the strategy is to flag your heroes/henchmans, go ahead until u aggro a group or until pop ups comes out of the ground then go back until youre near of the aggro bubbles of your hench/heroes to fight the monsters. It doesnt matter if u dont bodyblock all the monsters since the mobs arent that big and they arent that dangerous. Try to take out the spiders first when u can but still with 4 healers its very hard to die to these. There is absolutely no hard parts in the whole run, every mobs can be easily pulled from other mobs. Ask for any questions.

I take my ranger, 2 b/p heroes, MM hero, 2 monk Henchies and the rest ranger henchies. I clear it easy. I usually peg them, lay a dust trap, then pull. It works pretty good.

I've never thought of doing Tombs without at least one other person. When I feel like playing GW again, I may give this configuration a go. My second character is a ranger.

Did it on my para w heroes/hench a few times. Did it on my rit too so I could solo 1-2 of the bosses at the end and get all those greens to myself
