just tried this with the axe warrior variant, an imbagon (who said that his build could be improved greatly), a discord necro (human), and me as a DH monk. didnt bother with signet of infection, i ran LB sig instead which was good, seed of life would also have been very helpful for a couple of parts, specifically the veil. pur imbagon left after city but the build worked very nicely. it wasnt the fastest build i have used but it was very defensive and brilliant for PUGs and people who dont have high-end pve guilds behind them.

thanks again for the build! and i hope to see lots of fun variations!

Personally, as a war, I made a build to mimic what the sin is running, the dps is huge, but I haven't tried the Axe, and asuran scan could be Save Yourselves! any day, also prot strike is filler. [build prof=W/D str=14 scythe=12 ][Warrior's Endurance][Mystic Sweep][Eremite's Attack][Protectors Strike][Asuran Scan][Aura of Holy Might (Luxon)]["I Am The Strongest!"][Resurrection Signet] [/build] I was doing 200+ in isle of the nameless, and thats without r8 lb. What do you think?

What do you think? Looks good, no need for res tho.


My guild and I are testing a Heroway build to kill Mallyx soon. I will see how it goes, It will probably be 3-5 people and the rest hero's. I will post the build when it is proven to work.

Actual experimentation and innovation.

Great job OP.

To the op this is a build i've been using succesfully for a while in HM on my ele

[buildprof=E/N EarthMagic=12+1+1 EnergyStorage=12+1 name="Unsteady Ground Hm V2"][Unsteady Ground][Churning Earth][Eruption][Ward against Foes][Glowstone]["You are all weaklings!"][Necrosis][Earth Attunement][/build]

If you don't have a high enough Norn rank substitute ["You are all weaklings!"] for [Enfeebling [email protected]] lower energy storage to 12 for this

You cannot be serious, way too much AoE

The OP is the sin in the pic above.

but anyway, after countless runs, we rarely run the OP's original build. Lately we've been running a variety of different builds, involving mesmers, eles, rangers, and it has worked fine.

our core team usually consist of.

1. A/D
2. P/W
3-4. monks

and the 5,6,7,8 varies. Theres life after ursan, people just have to try it out.

whisper me ingame if you have questions.

With an experienced team even full HM run is not that hard or long. We have been running DoA HM on a near daily basis lately. Here's a lil screenie:



Full guild team, no heroes. ( not sure if it is doable with heroes in HM tbh).

Mallyx himself is not that hard if u know how to use the door glitch.

You're probably thinking about the "secret" DoA outpost for Dev testing that let players go straight to Mallyx without finishing the rest. Stuff like the door glitch is harmless, but people had to mess with some system files in order to get into that Dev room, and that was pretty serious.

@ kotte yes i know there is alot of AoE there but it's the double knockdown in HM i prefer in that build and atm it's still in testing i'm changing the skills now and then around, i'll have to recheck the build since the changes of glowstone.

But i usually tend to have a minnion wall up i cast the ward really close to the minnions and then i start using the aoe and start disabling key chars to the enemy team with my hero ranger
(shutdown on monks is still great, however some added knockdown which is autocaused in hm with churning earth)

For hm i tend to hate to play a fire ele since the damage is mediocre compared to a mesmer or a necro both having access to armor ignoring damage)

And if you do have improvements for my build in HM (i never used it Nm mind you, got a mindblast build for that) i would like to hear them kotte.

If you leave the Titan in the last wave until last, as soon as it breaks down the priest will give the message to kill Mallyx. Go into the door to Mallyx's chamber before the Titan spawns are killed, then the chamber door remains open, and you can move outside.

You can then pull Mallyx outside the chamber to kill him, bypassing the spirit effects and avoiding the spawns.

Also is it possible for you to age that run? I think the glitch you're referring to would be the NT/Rebirth glitch. People would go in, die on the gate, have one person with Necrotic Transversal and Rebirth use NT to glitch across the gate, and rez everyone on the other side. To prevent this Mallyx's skill that forces players to shadow step to him now pulls people through the gate if they're on the other side.

Not really, what i was referring to is having a E/N Air Ele that make a Flesh Golem and letting it die by gate. I believe we used to have a Mo/N NT and Rebirth everyone over. But anyways. Thanks for the reply

Would a Ranger with infuriating heat and SY be able to take the paragon's place? It sucks that i can't seem to find a group with my ranger, and I don't feel like running a paragon through the whole game again, just to do high-end area's
