heres a little question for you all. which of the following pairs is harder, and how long would they roughly take (with an average team) on NM?

The Deep/Urgoz,

UW/FoW.

and also, how long would a full DoA or Sorrows Furnace run take?

just a few questions from someone who does very little elite-mission-content and is looking to get those statues for his HoM.

FoW can be done in under 2 hours if a good group, same with UW

not sure on the other 2 cause I just recently got factions and havent tried any of them yet

Urgozs = 4 hours HM

UW with a decent pug = 1:30 - 2:00h (HM)
FoW with a decent pug = 1:00h - 1:30h (HM)
(assuming cons are used and ursanway, which is the fastest+easiest to learn)

Not sure what would be more difficult between deep and urgoz, but UW is definitely harder then FoW, although it's not that hard.

All the run times will differ. If you're playing with good players, you can complete all 4 in under an hour each. With bad players UW/FoW can take over 2 hours, and urgoz and deep can take longer. DoA can be completed in 2 hours with a decent group, it can take over 4 hours with a bad one.

60-70 minutes for Deep/Urgoz in NM with pugs using cookie cutter team builds(you can find them on PvX). Faster if your group knows what they are doing, slower if you find idiots to play with. Can't speak for UW/FoW as I haven't done all the quests at once yet for the statues, but they are definitely the tougher pair as you have a smaller team and its a lot easier to get thrown out because of stupid npcs.

SF takes a few hours as there are multiple quests you have to take before getting into the final area(when playing normally). Though if you're tagging alone with someone else completing said quest, you can get it done in a little over an hour. DOA averages 2-3.

Btw Urgoz is dead so bring your own guild/friends if you want to play there. And Ursan(even if its hated) and consumables make UW/FoW/DOA a lot quicker. Don't know how well Ursan works in Deep/Urgoz and near anything can work in SF

I find UW harder then FoW, not by much though. And cannot say for Urgoz/Deep as I have yet to do the Deep or finish Urgoz*dang that noob warrior (with half of his armor off might I add)who screwed us up at the bridge with the mobbing wardens*

@DarkFlame
I never did Ursan in Urgoz but my guild did once *I wasn't on then * and they said they did it in about 50min. (they had 3 monks, rest ursan)

FoW is about 2 hours with a good group. The biggest time waster here though is going back and forth between various NPC's and getting quest rewards. We tested this and found that on average you can save about 45 minutes by getting the rewards at the end.

Deep is pretty easy-just bring something to knockdown Kanaxai. A good team will do this in about an hour.

Urgoz is about 2 hours I would say-it's a maze with lots of popups, so it's annoying.

With practice and the right team build you can bring these times down easily.

Thank You all for your input, i think ill try to get a group set up for Urgoz/Deep once i get to that point on my Ele. UW/FoW will probably be the ones i do first, then DoA, then SF, then Deep, then Urgoz. (people have said Urgoz can take up to 4 hours -.- NOT looking forward to that :P)

FoW/UW generally rewards you with better drops (ecto/shards) + the chance of getting an Eternal Blade/Ob sword form their respective end chests.

FoW/UW can also take up to 4 hours if your party is awful.
I don't even know how people get this 4 hour time because the first time I finished urgoz it took 2h 40min, and that was with 9 heros...
So I strongly doubt it'll ever take more than 3 hours.(NM this is.)

My guild was able to Ursan Urgoz HM in 35 Minutes, but we specialize in that area and everyone knows it like the back of their hands.
