Me and my GF asked ourselves if its possible to play through the whole SP campaign of the GW without henchmen or other players, just a team of 2.

We tried it already, but after Lions Arch its quite impossible since you get chain-pacified, DOT'ed up, interrupted like there is no tomorrow. How do you even stand a chance against a group of 4-6 casters that will just instant-refresh their spells on you?

I wondered if its doable, and if so, with what team-kombination?

55 monks with spellbreak, and ranger with famine/QZ/eoe?

Sounds like such a huge project. = NTY.

Hint: Scrap the idea, and do PVP!

Mesmer secondary,

Mantra of Recall / Resolve to prevent interrupts. Just keep it up at all times and you should do fine.

Shadow Form/Recall sins are assassins that use Shadow Form to prevent all damage (preferably with enchanting bonuses) then use Recall to teleport out of combat, back to the other sin.

The other sin then activates SF and runs in to keep attacking. Repeat

Well if you aren't going for survivor and are willing to try out different builds and class combos I would think it is possible for the most part. As for what two, I'm not sure. There are a few parts in the game where I'm not sure it'd be possible. I'd think you'd need a monk healing/protection at least. For the other one, I'd suggest a class combo that can do a lot of damage to kill the endgame bosses (like in RoF).

SP campaign = Prophecies?

I think it's doable. Remember that you can just run a lot of the missions.

Assuming you manage to survive enemies for long enough to kill them I think you will have problems in the following missions as you need to keep NPCs alive in them:

Sanctum Cay
The desert missions
Ice Caves of Sorrow
Thunderhead Keep

Though I am interested to see which missions you can do, and which you can't.

Well if the Tele Ele team can clear Margonite Anur's i'm pretty sure 2 of them could clear out pretty much all of prophecies... minus the insanely strong mursaat bosses of course that are pretty much invincible to anything but extreme pressure/armour ignoring damage.

I believe you can just walk past all of them besides the one at the end of RoF, which should not be a problem.

Bring an interupter for the Caster, other wise its just a lot of bashing,
I like those boss's, I beleive there some of the most balance monster out there, there should be more of them (or similar to them) out there.

I know it's possible to solo up until THK with VwK ritualist. After that I didn't try because the Jades simply hit too hard. I also don't really remember how I did the infusion mission.

After that it probably isn't possible anymore, especially the RoF. Duo should be possible even through later missions, but I can't think of a decent class combo.

Well the SF recall sin idea could work for most of the single player. But then once you get to factions and nightfall you will start having problems as things are able to remove enchants without using a spell.....and thats gonna hurt.

THK and glint are where I can see you having the most problems with the recall sins though. THK since its just wave after wave and you cannot really retreat. Glint cause.....its Glint. Unless of course you do not go for the bonus but then you haven't completed the entire Single Player have you?

I can only think of A/Me or A/Mo as even being possible to pull of the dmg and have the survivability to do a lot of those missions though.
