No, no.. absolutely no need. I believe you when you say you guys did it in that amount of time. I was just bringing to your attention a simple way to stop those who love to cast doubts about everything.

You can clearly see the signs of editing in your pic. There is a nice pale square around the "3 minutes" part that is obviously different from the rest of the background.

I am not saying it cannot be edited, or that we should believe everything we see. I'm just suggesting that to edit these screens in such a way that it would be completely undetectable is not an easy task.

I can confirm that all the screens that LOD posted are genuine, feel free to check out the discussions about them on our site. I am pretty sure that at least most of the screens that other players posted are genuine as well.

Thx for the effort.

ok so with all the people trying to establish how easy it is to fake a screenshot, dont forget there are authentic screenshots as well. our UW time is authentic. and has several sources form various party mebmbers. there will be a detailed thread soon on how we do it for all you nubcakes that cant think outside the box and cry photoshop to anything byeond your skill level.

my challenge stands. 10 k per party member for the gorup that provides more than one authentic source of proof of a faster time. my hope here is not to create rivlary.. but to have a good effect on the current pve meta.

So before you be quick to cry photoshop, join us for a run we quite often take a pug or two with us and then you will see for yourself instead of making acusations based on weak assumptions and heresay. i get pms all the time some negative askin how we made such a good fake, others that want to see for thier own eyes if its real. if we have room, we will take a pug or two.

read the thread from Lord Bleyz on how we do our runs. do the learning curve to get used to this new way,(at first you may fail a few times as all 8 players need to be on the ball no one can die or mess up) and with persistance you to wil achieve those times.But its not noob proof, so you will need to be good with your respective roll.

Fastest Urgoz time was about 45-55 minutes.
My guild groups don't usually go through stuff to get through it as fast as possible. We practically vanquish the zones in hopes of an extra few ectos/shards/whatever. I've never really /aged after a FoW or UW run, but I'd say those are around an hour? Can't really say. Urgoz is probably the only time I've /age to see :P

GG on all the work, everyone

Generic(ish) steel wall group, with mes in place of eles. Nice armor ignoring spike, very fast (to fast to be interrupted!). 4 CoP mesmers, and two SS with CoP (i think). One of the monk might have taken it too cant quite remember.




Can i just say, too, that this is the FASTEST elite mission time - i think people should be free to use whatever build they think will achieve the fastest time; if its ursan with cons, then so be it - although the build isn't very inventive there must be some decent players in the team to be pulling off some of these times.

*Ursans are a hindrance in the deep though

Did a HM FoW PuG last night in 1:05 with Ursanway/cons. Not that impressive but it's also been a couple months since I even stepped in FoW, and also it was about 2:00 am and I just wanted to do something quick/go to bed.

Yeah, 4 mesmers with CoP, i had it, sometimes 2nd SS takes but seanie didn't have it unlocked
1 monk had it too, which really helped on split when they ran off, as SS could do no damage.

Everyone hates ursan, but it's given every profession an equal opportunity to do most parts of the game - like before, everyone hated sins, and now sins can get in an ursan team no problem. Anet has fixed this problem well I think.

We also didn't have heroes for part of the Wailing lord because Evo is very bad.

Basically the steel wall build from pvxwiki but they changed the eles to mesmers with arcane mimicry (i believe), have 2 tanks (with shadowmeld) and the bip that tanks in the 3rd room, 2 HB monks and 1 HH monk (for the Bip tank) and 2 SS

Almost. Yes, there's two tanks (with shadowmeld), and a biptank for r3. And yes, there's two HB monks and 1 Healing Hand's monk for the biptank.

The eles are replaced with Cry of Pain / Signet of illusion mesmers, who also take things like Meteor Shower and Deep Freeze. Mimicrying shadowmeld means noone dies at the gate. The team also do a "split" after scorpian aspect.

so does this mean you do use ursan?

ADDED: And Chaos I noticed your other thread you said you had fastest fow time but this one beats you:

http://www.guildwarsguru.com/forum/s...9&postcount=77

dont even think that is the fastest. IIRC correctly the fastest is 47min (Ursan though)

The fastest FoW run that I know of is 46 min. The 50 min is a new guild record for SCAR. LOD and SCAR are still fine tuning the build we are using, at the moment it does seem to include a variety of PvE only skills. We will post the details when we perfect it.

Atm the LOD alliance records in elite areas stand as:

Urgoz HM 35 min
UW NM 1:15 min (no PvE skills)
FoW HM 50 min
UW HM 1:42 min (kinda too long but we haven't been working on it for a bit)
DoA HM full run + Mallyx 2:42 min
Duncan HM 17 min
Slavers Exile HM full run 1:19 min

Yeah, constant 80% damage reduction is really impressive *rolles eyes*. I really don't understand people who dislike ursan and then just use their own cheatbuild as if they did something impressive, two thumbs down.

Only from armor-reduced damage, which is not the lethal damage in FoW anyway. I agree that it's imbalanced, hence imbagon, but it's not on the same level as ursan. It also makes it much harder for us if we wanted to run a split for any sections. Yes, we use PvE skills, but I'm still proud not to run ursan - and I doubt any of the ursan teams would get our times if they dropped it. But, this is not an ursan debate thread, so why do you bother mentioning this?

All I do is see people complain about ursan, what is your issue, its a skill they put in the game so we use it, if it makes things easier great, you can use it too so dont bitch because people use it. Its just another build to get things done quick, no different then people using terra tanks in UW

I don't see why imbagon is any better than ursan. Imbagon reduces damage much more than ursan does and teammates can bring full 8 skillbars for damage instead of using 3 pre-determined skills for damage. I'm not the one who mentioned it either, your guild mates mentioned ursan. Congratulations on your times, but you are no better than an ursan team. I don't mind imbagon or ursan BTW.
