can this one be done with heroes and henches? my character is a warrior with an mm necro, healing monk and sf elementalist. i've also tried 2 healing monks without success. i haven't tried minion bombing yet. anyone else have any good tips for this one?

IMO Minion Bombing > MM. Also 1 SF ele is pretty useless on its own so kick him altogether. I would bring Sabs N/Rt healer and the MM build + a BHA ranger for the monk boss and priests. When we did it we had 1 monk 1 ursan sabs 3 builds and a BHA for the Priests and monk boss.
P.S a couple of threads down there is another thread with exactly the same topic

yes it can...did it with my ranger for his guardian title!

I rerolled as eviscerate warrior ( no probs 4 u i assume)
hybrid LoD monk
2 SS heroes - dc / aegis on them
healer/ mes hench breezed it with right stratergy!

BHA is not needed I found...always took it with but ranger IMO dont do enough damage in this mission. i was a ranger and had to reroll to do enough DPS to make it worth while...just hold all aggro and let SS heroes pwn away

you know it's interesting. i just did it without any problems now.

me - w/mo: dwarven battle stance (really helps with shutting down anyone, especially the monk boss)
mow: ss necro
olias: minion bomb
razah: spirit spammer + splinter weapon
2 monk henchmen

at the monk boss, i had everyone else attack the priest while i shut down the monk boss. it was easier than i originally thought.

so i guess it is doable...

! Take Necrosis with BHA and some other condition giving skills (Screaming Shot, Sloth Hunters, etc.), increases DPS drastically while still providing majority of interrupts if you time time it correctly.

Did this otherwise with SS, BHA, 2 monks, DS tank and SH ele (monks were hench)

It is doable with h/h. What i used was me as d-slash warrior with 'save yourselves' and brawling headbutt, sab's 3 necro hero build, lina and orion.

I found it relativly easy just watch your aggro and be quick killing the guys.

jep agree..for me it wasn't that hard, i used sabs 3 necro build.. me with shiels up, save your self, wacht your self.. i just spammed those skills..

not overrushed it.. if you enter the last arena, you have plenty of time.. to kill those guys.. be sure, the king in the middle wont attack by other.. protect him otherwise you fail the bonus..

and i had some problems with the last monk boss..i didn't managed to kill the enemy priest under the 2 minutes, but at 2.14 the enemie priest drops dead, and we could managed to stay alive cuz i kept spamming shields up, save your self, and wacht your self..

i dont think interupt is a must, but ill come very handy, but just dont kill fast enough.. (imo)

The real trick with BHA is to couple it with Ebon Vanguard Assassin.
Normally enemy casters try to immediately unload all their spells quickly as soon as they're attacked, but they're dazed and the assassin attacks are so quick that every spell is interrupted, Thom does his dirty job and in most cases they're dead even before the sin poofs.
