"Alone in the Dark' Troubles

Hi all --

I have a newbie Mesmer trying to get through this quest without much luck. So, I was wondering has anybody done this lately, that can provide some tips for completing this quest successfully.

I have access to most of the NF skills, and can probably get to Loins Arch, or Kaineng City for a few adidtionals, but this toon has really only played through NF to this point and has not elites yet.

You really aught to go cap an elite you know, you're certainly far enough through the game to get some decent ones. I'm thinking [[Energy Surge] from Vabbi and [[Hex Eater Vortex] from The Desolation.

I assume you're talking about the quest "All Alone in the Darkness"...in the Realm of Torment?

Could you try posting your skillbar so we can give you help improving it, and so that we know what sort of bar you are running?

The problem with this quest is purely the additional energy draining environmental condition. Groups of Margonites are a piece of cake usually. If you can let people know specifically where you're having trouble it would help us to help you.

Since you asked, my build is as follows:Diversion Cry of Fustration Empthy Leech Signet Energy Burn

Power Drain Drain Enchantment Ether Feast
5 Fast Casting, 13 Dom, 13 Inspi
I look forward to hearing your comments.

The worst part about that quest is that everything costs 40% more energy. Thats probably your worst enemy more than the margonite groups. If your using monk heros, glyph of lesser and sig of rejouv can go a long way. If using ele heros, dual attune is ideal. And get an elite too, energy surge is the best overall.
