Hi i have been trying to Vanquish Canthan for a long time now and i am at a point were all of my build are just not cutting it. I am an ele/any and i unusually run by my self. And i was just wondering if i could get some builds for my heroes that would work well with what i need done. I have noob island all vanquished and little of the main land. So if you wouldn't mind helping me i would really appreciate it

Which part of Cantha?

I've only done a few areas but with my standard HM necro build some areas are pretty easy (all luxon areas), while others are really difficult (the jade members in the city) where I wouldn't have minded using a different build or strategy.

Your backline

I recently VQed cantha with pretty much the same party setup everywhere:
1x W, 1x MM, 1x SS, 3x Mo, 2x Ele (SS and 1x SF being humans, me being the warrior )
(For caster heavy areas we brought Jin aswel instead of the SF hero)
Hero builds:

MM(N/Me):
16 death
11 soul reaping
9 curses
[skill]blood of the master[/skill] [skill]animate shambling horror[/skill] [skill]animate bone horror[/skill] [skill]virulence[/skill] [skill]enfeeble[/skill] [skill]epidemic[/skill] [skill]resurrection signet[/skill] Optional skill(depends of the area)

SF: Well, just the typical SF nuker [skill]searing flames[/skill] with some [skill]meteor shower[/skill] and a [skill]glowing gaze[/skill]

Monk: 1 Monk was an RC prot, 1x a HB healer and 1 LoD

Jin(ranger): [skill]broad head arrow[/skill] , rest of the skills didnt matter much to me so that's all up to you to choose. (this works well with the MM carying Epidemic)

That pretty much covers all heroes I used

I hope this'll help, good luck with it.

My gf and I vanqed it all with little difficultly (minus a few zones like Bukdek and Morostav Trail).

Me: Monk (WoH full heal)
Her: SF Ele
1 Hero Prot Monk: (SoR w/hex removal)
1 Hero Heal Monk (WoH full heal w/condition removal)
1 Hero Defensive Paragon (Focused Anger)
1 Hero Necro (SS) <--- This is the critical hero to have...must be in group always.
1 Hero Necro (MM) I ran this in 2 ways, 1 was a minion bomber with jagged bones, other was SV with low lvl minions)
Optional heroes for last spot:
SF Ele
Splinter Barrager

I dont have the actual builds since I am at work right now...you can get good ideas from other posts though.

Vanqin cantha was very easy, now we are onto tyria with the same success. I dont expect it to change much. SS is the key, since they self kill pretty much. Make sure you have rip enchant or some form of enchant removal, and also defile flesh is a good one to bring too since monk bosses heal extremely quick and for a ton.
