Buy your armbraces while they are still at 45-50e
you act like armbraces are rare or soemthing, there tons of them out there in the high end market because of duping and the 117. I expect a sudden jump in prices when build goes live, but stablizing mb alittle higher than rigth b4. Happened when ecto when the ua nerf happened.

I have actually seen a few people trying to form up fast full run groups recently though, maybe they'll be joined by the others during the oct update.

We've got it down to consistantly around 2.5 hours now for HM fullrun These runs have been far from perfect and I'm pretty sure we soon will be able to break 2 hours.

The foundry room clears were particularly hair raising! Good stuff tho

Would love to see that team build. You are probably ranger hence the 3 bips of energy regen. Weird spot to end a run ... party leader did solo the last boss mobs and is therefore greyed out? Shadowstep traverse in veil to the outter rim or rebirth? No cons up at that time?
Very interesting movement pattern of yours ... CURIOUS!

I plan on taking a stab at Mallyx this week since the nerf, i have searched the forum high and low and all i find is builds with the infamous 'Ursan' which no longer works in that area. Has anyone tried it since?
Pleikki
Yeah, we in GoE didnt even usa ursan back then so we've done that with greta succeed..

It was a guide-you can find it also on pvxwiki.
This weekend there were some issues with Guru and Inde et al. are busy getting everything squared away.

aaaa IC... ok well I have found a few builds that i will try, just wondering if anyone else is still working on getting to him. Seems as if in all the other topics are those complaining and that he isnt much liked at all...lol

I assume that you removed some names because they would give away the profession. But you weren't carefully enough the chatlog still shows *name* picking up item :-P.
So i guess its cryway with a shadowtank sin.
OT: DoA isn't dead. Just no more pugs which mostly failed anyway, even with ursan. I do it quite often, with cryway ofc and we're down to 2h-2h15m. If you have a team of very experienced players (most important the tank) you can easily do it in 1.5h (HM) or less

I am pretty sure that with a decent build and a very experienced group a 1.5h full HM run is possible. It is not very realistic however; to expect that on a regular basis. An average experienced grp run should be around 2h or so, and a semi-experienced team around 2.5hs.
gerg-nad
If it is a cryway team, then its very much like any trinity team, tank, damage, heal/protect. To do the times as fast as described, the NT trick through the foundry rooms likely cannot be used or very much.
Use to tank all the time before EotN, so choke points and corners, knowing where to pull the groups to allow them to pile up is important for speed and team success. For example knowing where to stand in the Gloom cave is critical, so I am not sure this is the team that is being used as it takes a lot of coordination and communication. Ventrilo or TS help a lot.

sry if the conversation switched somewhere in the last 7 pages, i just read the OP and then came to reply
Yea i am getting into doing DOA runs more and more now with balanced teams they are great fun (if i have the time to complete a full run). DOA is better then it ever was before now with balanced teams.

hi - i just wanted to say that you can still make a pug doa team.
I did some areas with just 1 guildie and 6 heros.
We had 1 war(human) + Sabway Necros
1 Monk HB (human) + fire ele hero + 2nd mm hero + divert hexes/prot hero monk
We might try changing the 2nd mm for a norn 10 ursan and hero ele for human ele to see how that goes - human ele and high norn ursan should be easy to find in GoA.
Build still needs some tweaking to quicken and get through easier but if the mobs are lured good die fast.

There is already a Hero build for DoA NM runs. Yours seems somewhat similar short of Imba.

Also if you just glitch the door to the Citadel so you can pull Mallyx out he goes down easy and fast, don't have to deal with enviremental effects or the margonite spawns, you can pull him all the way back to city wall if you like.
Racthoh
Mallyx himself is really a joke. 2x Gaze of Fury, one ranger with an interrupt camping Mallyx if he tries to revive him. Don't enchant, don't hex him, simple.

We've got under 2 hours, next goal is 1:30

Wow, thats amazing, I could see us scraping another half hour of the run but dmn 45 mins faster. Very impressive, a bit confused by what looks like a warrior OF tank since I'd think that would slow you down a good deal but congrats
komma
yea i agree, thats an impressive time....in concerns w grouping in doa idk about that, but i have been 3-manning foundry like an animal as of late.....kind of nice to get back into that farm since ursan is now dead.

Does anyone play this game for entertainment purposes anymore?lol it's just like, someone gets a good idea>gets leaked somehow>Anet Finds out>Everyone whines when they know there really is no point>Whines how the game is dieing, I mean its just like playing the game to feel like you've accomplished something, like just playing it to gain money, just to get some ugly FoW armour xP
Shursh
wow 1:15...i'd be interested to see what builds you were running, with all the mesmers maybe cryway? not sure though...
on another note - i tried grouping with a "pro" PUG last night. points of interest:
our monk had healing breeze
our "tank" was an ursan
about 12 stygian hungers spawned, ursan aggros them - insta death. i about fell out of my chair laughing when i saw his red health bar go dark.

Like all elites really.....
They aren't dead just being done by more organized teams and guild /alliance / friend groups where pugs are rarely welcomed.
But people also stop going for the elites and only show up in any numbers to pug if there is a quick and easy buck to be made.DoA is in no way dead but like everything in GW currently you need to be somehow be connected(know someone on the team) be willing to learn and have a fair understanding of that the teams currently effectively doing these have been working as a team for longer times.
And having a fair amount of con sets always helps :P
Last I would liek to add that since the "updates" that Anet has done alot of the team builds got nerfed or made less effective which effectivlly lowered the amount of teams runng(atleast in the deep) alot of oldschool build seem to be needed again to even be effective.
BUT if you can get over the "you are a pug" comments at first then anyone should be able to get in a team sooner or later but yes it can take time.

i wish to do a DOA run at some point in time. however, there's never anyone there when i try. i play an imbagon and would love to take part in this. my guild doesn't have an alliance because we're all local friends, (and there's 4 of us.. haha) so i'm kind of stuck when it comes to elite areas. anyways, a little more than an hour is impressive for this one. i routinely hear people say 2 hours average.
hit me if you wanna try it with me :-)
