Try it. They die. Blowing them up is better than spreading conditions, and faster, too.

That's the build I was using. lol

And I'm in there as I type this, and for some reason disease isn't working. That's stupid, bleeding, poison, and burning all work, why not disease?! Talk about gay! And those stupid ice spouts and darts don't help because the henchies have to stand RIGHT on them. I seem to be having better luck with Technobabble and Ignite Arrows.

They aren't fleshy, but if you say poison and bleeding work, then they are. It might be that they're just weird, or you had a problem again.

The ice stuff is annoying, but just flag your henchies, or kill that angry snowman fast to disable them. Also, ignite arrows sucks. Barrage wins here because of aoe. (btw, giving your ele heroes aoe spells like searing heat and tenai's heat would help here)

Put this on your hero, it's fail proof, even for you. You seem to have a low understanding of the mechanics of the game. I'd suggets a lot more playing and less posting on the forums.

Well I can't take two elites, and I have Broad Head Arrow for daze (which does help). hehe Maelstrom might help too since it interrupts spells.

My hero does have Searing Flames and he's always the first to die. Him or the MM.

Again, I think you need to check up on party synergy and game mechanics.

Take Zhed, Vekk, and Sousuke as Searing Flames Eles. Take Mhenlo, Lina, Cynn, and Eve. Learn how to play the game, make good builds, flag heroes/hench, and stop making suggestions on changes to be made.

The lair is to have fun and farm delver points.

I agree it should drop anything obtainable in wintersday events (including the polar bear) but leave it like that.

if you get 60dp in the snowman cave HM then I recomend quitting the game and selling your computer. The snowman cave HM is to easy I would say it is one of the more simple (way to frickin easy c-space with your eyes closed drunk as hell and lagging like crazy

) dungeons.

Wolf you have had some bad posts in the past but this takes the cake.

They are snowmen and melt when exposed to heat.

Fire elementalists rule. Take two or three heroes with the searing flames build. Take a hero MM for lots of meatshields.

Stay to the sides when going thru those ice jets. It helps keep the H/H out of them. The two hench monks should be able to keep the party alive.

Sounds like a lot of different builds work well here. I go in as a Savannah Heat Ele with another human Savannah Heat Ele, 4 Searing Flames heroes and 2 monks. Fast and easy.

Yeah, fire eles rule!!!

I would have to agree with those who say the rewards should reflect the difficulty of the dungeon. For a dungeon as easy as this one, I say the rewards work well with it. It's a quick dungeon, loads of points, and you get sugar and booze as a reward. It's meant to be done for fun/points, not for monetary gain. It would be silly to put a bunch of rare drops in the chest of a dungeon that can be completed in such a short amount of time.

As for the build issues...AoE damage works wonders here. I'm assuming you're on a ranger, which can farm this quite easily. I know it's been mentioned several times already, but I will repeat it: Splinter barrage. Searing Flames, Savannah Heat, and minion masters also work great here. With a good team setup, you really shouldn't have any DP issues and you definitely shouldn't need consumables to complete it.
