Ah, nevermind, I just hadn't found Bison standing in Gunnar's Hold as well. -.-

This is the kind of thing that needs a smart ass comment.
Hold ALT and look for Bison.

As a Necro:
16 Curse,
13 Soul Reaping
Blood and Death are unimportant here.
Note: This is a high energy cost build, you need at least 50 energy to start, higher is better.
Price of Failure
Enfeebling Touch
Spiteful Spirit
Insidious Parasite
Atrophy
Hexor's Vigor
Necrosis
Signet of Lost Souls
Cast the first four hex's. Those four should be all you need, though I added Atrophy/Hexor's Vigor just because I wanted to try them out.

No wonder Mhenlo died so easily...rofl...burning arrow > Mhenlo. Alesia on the other hand makes a pretty formidable whammo O.o.
Still can't beat Bison, I almost got him with Grenth's Balance on my R/N once but I lagged and died. >.<

has anyone managed to win as an ele?
Wings of Fury
Yeah, had to lower myself to my Earth ele build which i sometimes use for fun in hm in this case i just used a double attunement with stoneflesh and armour of earth,mystic regen,stone daggers and obsidian flame,ward of stability.Not very original or honerable but hey it gets the job done.
Kenwryll Shadowstep
I beat him as a R/Rt using a variation of the Oath Spirit Spam build.
Oath Shot, Whirling Defense, Pain, Bloodsong, Shadowsong Dissonance, Nightmare Weapon, Throw Dirt. Expertise 10+1+3, Communing 12, Channeling 8.
Leave the gate, put down the spirits, hit nightmare weapon, Oath Shot, fire a few shots to give an extra health drain spike, and relay the spirits down when needed.
Currently working on my crown. Need a suitable replacement for my jesters cap.

Yeah just tried this 3 times, it gets me to Bison great, but it won't kill him. There are mana problems and purge signet really ruins the whole build, nice try though

I'm going nuts trying to beat him too.
Getting to him is just a big a pain, why? You get placed randomly against anti-melee characters.
Gwen - Signet of Midnight and other stuff. No Condition removal? gg
Norgu - Empathy + Visions of Regret
Eve - If you PvP you'll know what's coming
At least take away the 100g entry fee ._.

with this sin build, you can kill all the heroes and bison
critical agility (sunspear)
critical defense
way of perfection
beguiling haze (e)
golden fox strike
wild strike
critical stike
impale
stats are something like 12 daggers, 13 critical, 9 shadow and 3 deadly
(sure you can have better ones, didn't want to buy new runes)
very easy to use

/Rt, spam spirits, aggro, GeeGee.
Or just like, take any condition/hex build you can come up with and throw in Ignorance at a reasonable Domination level (or you know, like, Leech Signet or something. Just deal with Purge Signet however the hell you want).
It's probably easiest to do the whole thing as a Mesmer. You can get the Ritualist Spirits at 10 or 12 spec and still have plenty of room for Ignorance and another random skill of your choosing (Leech Signet is a personal favorite).
I like the tournament. A lot, actually. It's sort of the Pre-Nerf THK of the Sneak Peek, iffinunowutimeenz. I wish it was mandatory though.

I almost beat him with my ranger, but he made two consecutive hits through blind and killed me. Yeah, I know, it's just a 90% miss chance...

Just beat him with a Paragon...just snare him.

I can't really see how to beat him with a pure warrior build. He hits WAY too hard and you cannot interrupt his bear form.

After you beat bison and have to beat 6 people. Does that include killing magni all over again?

Focused Anger
Barbed Spear
Nonsensical Spear
Spear of Redemption
Go for the Eyes
Poison Tip Signet
Finale of Restoration
Ebon Assassin summon thing.
Don't remember attributes. Just keep him crippled the whole time, the degen will eventually kill him.
Edit: I'm sure theres better builds, or even improvements for this one, but it worked for me.

Actually, given the fact that the point, or part of the point, of the Tournament is probably to teach the synergy available to a character with skills from multiple professions, I'd say it is somebody else who hasn't learned anything yet.

The Norn Tournament is in Gunnar's Hold, below the hill Gunnar Poundfist is on, to the side. There is a fighting arena in the middle of town, look for the circular walls of the spectator stands.Hold down Alt and look for Magni the Bison.

You can't kill him with Enfeeble+Insidious?

Ripostes/Dolyak/Final Thrust/Grenth's Balance really do the trick on warrior.
Thanks to these I won the Tournament 6 times in a row and made enough tokens for this crappy crown.
Eve is the only person, who can stop you with this build. Hopefully I didn't run into her. Argo? No problem.
And some opponents on the way to Magni are really funny and use... em, creative builds (Alesia with sword anyone? Devona using sin skills?).

Devona is actually quite a pain to kill : / 3 healing skills.

Dragon Slash spam always wins.
Unless you are fighting Eve/Norgu/Gwen, that is.

I had the opposite problem as you. Eve was no problem for me, but Argo was always killing me. Finally killed Argo, as well. Oh, and you're right, Alesia totally wants to be a wammo paladin!

I was actually able to beat it on my paragon though with huge luck i think. Just had Mending refrain, Finale of restoration(?), barbed spear, GftE, and nonsensical spear. It took LONG though with the bleeding and he didn't have purge signet for some reason when i did it
