None - I'm a backpacker, I don't have a guild :)

W/Mo

Look up wiki for VWK, cap it (needs rit secondary), get the W/Rt VWK build and add Resillient Weapon to counter some of the degen.

NOTE: CANNOT SOLO THE VERMIN BOSS

Rt/Mo

W/Mo with axe skills used to work well, but that was before HM arrive and the AoE nerf took affect. Only way to do it now is W/Rt or Rt/W...

Triple chop, Cyclone and Whirlwind are considered AoE, so they will scatter enemies in HM. They also use a Heart of Shadow when their health gets low, which means you will heal them if you hit them with any Physical Damage.

w/rt is easiest and safest way. don't go for the boss, though.

Yeah, only pull 1 group of 3-4 at a time. When you get to boss area, use a bow to pull a patrolling group to bridge away from aggro of others.

you can tank up to 7 vermin and still kill them all, it jus takes alittle longer like 5-6 VwK and you can take the Boss out too but you have to pull a group of 6 for constant healing.
