About to go out vanquishing Drakkar Lake on my warrior. Wondering about recommend hero builds (and my build for that matter).

Was thinking DSlash SY for me,and using pretty standard Sabway heroes. Worried about Utility of the MM - lots of critters that don't leave corpses like the Vaettir and those dervish things on the ice lake - and ice elementals.

Also, since those things don't bleed, part of the utility of a jagged bones MM is questionable as well.

Would paragon hero team be better (two parras and a D/N) or stick with curses necro and N/Rit, turn Death necro in N/E and use soul reaping for energy while spaming Fire spells ?

Also, might Earthshker hammer warrior work better than DSlash here - keeping groups on their butts seems to be effective.

Alright, I am not kidding when I say this was the easiest zone I ever had to go through, even if we add the normal mode zones in the bunch.

There is one trick that will let you do about 500+ damage per second in an AoE while knocking down the enemies :
First off, you need to start from sifhalla, western exit of the town. There you will see budgen blackpowder ; hire him for 100 gold. Now go in your control manager (f11 -> control) and set an hotkey for "Action : drop item" (I took f4 since it was unused).

Then, go to your enemies and a little past them so bugden blackpowder is positioned next to the mob. then get near the monsters and spam spacebar + f4 (or whatever hotkey for "drop item" you asigned). You can drop around 10 kegs per second and even more, while each of them causes knockdown and 50 damage in a certain area of effect damage.

This is ridiculous I swear. I was doing this zone yesterday with my friend and he went afk for diner, while we were around 290 enemies killed. I decided to go all alone with mr budgen blackpowder and livia to heal me killing some enemies while waiting for my friend to come back. 20 Minutes later he came back, and we were at around 380 enemies killed.

Also, this trick basically makes you invincible to melee enemies, and all enemies if you are goodly positioned. Lets say you placed Budgen good enough so he is in the middle of your enemy group, you can kill them all in a matter of seconds as long as you are healed properly, since they die very quickly and are constantly knocked down.
