Shards of Orr, definatly.

Even when you're prepared it's pretty dp inducing

Haven't done them all but in my opinion, with H/H Frostmaw's was nuts. Shards was a cake walk with Ogden, Taklh and Dunk as smiters. Duncans really was a challenge but that's because the enemies have varied skillbars and rezzes

I agree that frostmaw was a pain in the a with H/H. I wasn't prepared to what i was going to encounter, I ended sending zhed ahead (cause he had 60 DP) to aggro the wurms and nuking them from distance. very boring process.

Those 5 wizzard, 2 priest, and a necro mobs are about as hard as it gets in GW "normal" mode and in "hard" mode forget about it.

Shards of Urrrrgh


I had the boss icon in sight the other day and I was just too tired to go on..

Rragar's Menagerie was pretty annoying as well, did that with hubby and 6 heroes and we made it, but it seemed to take forever.

Oh and A.net will you please stop giving my husband Onyx Gemstones in the hidden treasures while I keep getting lumbered with paltry amounts of gold... I kid you not, it happens at least once per dungeon.

Every dungeon was pretty easy.

Shards was the only challenging one.

Time for Hard Mode, I hope it isn't a cakewalk, but seriously, imagine Frostmaw in Hard Mode

Shards of Orr, Frostmaw's (damn wurm popups), and probably Slaver's which I never actually tried...

Menagerie and Shards were both a pain with H/H. I still think Menagerie should have two chests because it has two end bosses. >.>

Menagerie wasn't too bad in H/H, and I haven't tried Frostmaws or Shards yet. >>

Menagerie was pretty easy IMO end bosses were not exactly hard

Shards of Orr gets my vote

Ooze pit was a good laugh.

Shards of Orr is easy in HM. You can 2 man it all up to the boss. Then bring in flagged heros. Easy.

In NM Forstmaw's Burrows but not in HM, for some reason this dungeon isn't nearly as hard in HM as I tought it would be.
In HM I'm not sure because I haven't completed them all.

Ooze pit HM isn't so hard if you know how to play it, I hear... you pretty much just need to rely on degen for the bosses.

I'll start HM dungeons this week but as far as NM dungeons go they were all rather easy. Forgewight was annoying, so was shards. But which was hardest.. I guess Fronis Irontoe's Lair. He leeroyed me to death about 5 times more deaths than in any other dungeon.

Frostmaw HM was the most difficult one for the ones I've done so far. Far far too much hench explosions in there..


That and shards of orr i find easy until the boss and i get wiped by chiliblains + gaze from beyond spike. and while im at it ranting, put a closer rez shrine to fendi. christ you have to walk half the dungeon level to get to him again.

shards of orr HM.

As an ele, taking ward of stability really reduces the irritation of the wurms' sneak attacks.

Frostmaw is the toughest in my opinion. At least in normal mode.

I still haven't done most dungeons in hard mode yet.

Frostmaw's and shards. When I just got GWEN frosdtmaw's was the first dungeon I tried and I cursed in 12 different languages. Tedious sweeping for worm popups REALLY gets on my nerves. Popups were getting old already in crystal desert, I don't see the need for them at all, they're unfun :P

H/H'ing Forgewight's dungeon in Slaver's Exile has been the hardest for me. The heroes and henchmen just love to standing in Searing Heat and Firestorm.

I'll admit that Shards of Orr was pretty tough until I started using 3 Smite Monk heroes. Then it went like cake.

All the other dungeons are just a simple matter of knowing what kind of monsters will be down there and then team building appropriately.

Well, having said Shards of Orr I beat it tonight with my hubby and 6 heroes, I brought 3 SF eles (myself included) and a prot, him (warrior) + Jora + Mhenlo. We tore through it easily.

Fendi Nin however was a right royal pain in the ass and our chest drops were so crap I intend never to set foot in there again.

Shards of Orr, definitely. Not really keen on doing it in Hard Mode. NM was creepy enough.

Duncan is not so much different from NM. Hint: Do the first three dungeons in Normal Mode and switch to HM for killing Duncan.

in normal , slavers , shards , rragar

in hard (haven't donc all) slavers , bloodstone (very nasty incubus spawns)

got wiped by ooze in arachni so i'll guess ooze pit will be deadly without the special build

Hard to pick one out as all the dungeons are fairly straight forward, i suppose slavers is the hardest on the basis that the summit have some of the best skill bars i have seen on the ai. Shards of orr is one of the easiest with the right setup.

most annoying in nm: frostmaw (dp parade) and shards (dp parade PLUS walking miles and miles to get to the guy. at least he does not regen his life). probably due to going in there with bad builds not knowing what to expect -_-

HM:

vloxen (WOW slavers groups outside slavers exile---what a cute surprise! minions everywhere especially that one necro boss that clumps up near the res shrine with his 20 minions---make sure to move the mob away from rez shrine if you're gonna die)

rragar's. the 2 necro bosses in proximity to each other, enough to not choking gas them need i say more?...ok i will those ray of judge spiking hounds. rragar himself and his buddy were so easy...but everything else? glad i had candies to eat down there. i dont go anywhere without my candy in hm. (hench bombs are fun to watch, i guess...)

edit--
added shards of orr (removed ooze pit). even with 3 smiter heroes it was a nightmare ._. the groups picked off fast (smite spikes), but there were so many huge groups--they ate thru my bunched up ball of h/h. the boss was not nearly as hard as i expected, but i cut down the time to kill him by 3x that of normal mode hooray for candy and powerstones.

EDIT: Forgot to post my opinion Yeah Shards of Orr seems to be the hardest in NM
