I have seen once and a while, someone running this mission... I never seemed to care to ask, by now I want to know, what is build to run this mission?

I was thinking they were permaing it with intensity/goep and silver armor... but Im not sure what the build would be if not, I just kinda want to try running it.

Thanks

(And please if your not going to help me out dont bother)

Personally, the only people I see advertising to run the mission in town are scammers asking to pay in advance, blah blah blah. I know people can run it (see services forum) and I'm pretty sure the way they do it is just take 1 less henchy than usual. The mission isnt hard in NM so I'm sure you can do it with 7 people. Hth.

Tried it out (HM) - it looks like it would be possible with the standard sliver armor perma sin (I died on the kirin through stupidity but i think it would be possible)

glyph of swiftness/deadly paradox/shadow form/glyph of lesser energy/ebon standard of honor/sliver armor/intensity

The only thing that can hurt you in the mission is signet of judgement from the kirin so throw in shadow refuge to heal from that and do the kirin last so you dont have a bunch of essences of kirin standing around to kill you.

Also, leech signet (from the phoenix) is a problem

Ok - tried it several times. I'm thinking the only way you can do this is either luck (hoping the leech signet doesn't hit you on your sf chain-this can be helped by casting the sf chain while out of range of the phoenix but you have to hope that sliver targets him first so he dies before you have to use the sf chain again - and, of course you will have to go through a whole bunch of essence of phoenix on your way to the kirin) or using an essence of celerity so you can replace glyph of swiftness with glyph of concentration to prevent sf from being interrupted.

Wiki recommends "A/E perma with sliver, gole and 1 spell to draw out leech signet, kirin last" so maybe with some experimenting it will be possible.

I got this mission runed, all mission + bonus in NM.

The team (more or less):
The runer -> R/Rt Barrager
Heros -> 2N/Rt Healers (with channeled strike and spirit rift), 1 N/D MM
Hench -> 1War 1 Ele (Devona & Cynn)
One guildy and me.


All done fast and easy, the only thing I done was following the runer, indeed I took no skill in the bar xDDD


Cheers.

edit: It was 4k each.

Before the damage reduction nerf to sf I used to run this solo all the time in hm. As well as farming it for feathers and celestial weaps with a standard perma dagger build.

I tried it with the sliver version but it is really iffy depending on the spawns. You have to hope you don't have too many Star Lights in the boss groups and that the bosses go down before there are too few enemies to trigger sliver.

The poeple offer to "run mission" are not soloing it........they are using 3 Heros, so they can run 4 people through the mission.

It would be extremly slow to permi this.........you wouldnt get masters.

I think a/e perma would be able to solo it with masters maybe. The problem would be the first boss. Because their wouldn't be as many celestials to trigger sliver armor. But once you get a boss down all you'd have to do is round up a huge group by the boss and boost sliver armor to kill them. Last kirin boss should go down easily when you have a huge group on you. Perhaps Hard Mode running would do it better because of increased attack speed.

Im guessing that the lights only use ancestors rage when there is one or more foes otherwise the SF would get raped.

Id consider goign through doing the kirin last, but the pheonix second last.

Since ur only killing the bosses, it shouldnt take too long, and with 30 minutes for masters in HM, can easily run all the way around twice to get em all.

Yeah, obviously the mesmer boss would have to be second to last as the interrupt sig could be a problem. But I suppose with an added skill with a long cast (perhaps radiation field if they can become diseased?) could be used to bait out the interrupt.

Also, you could always just ask the entire party to zone to the kirin (since they can wait in the waiting area as you finish off every single boss up to that). Then they can help try to kill the kirin should the permasin fail. A couple pain inverters and some healers should easily be able to finish off the last boss.

I got a solo A/E run in HM on this mission for 5K a few weeks ago. He wouldn't ping his build but from what I saw it seemed to be the usually perma sliver build. He did it very quickly and pretty effortlessly.

As a nec(using modified ss nuker) i started off duoing this with my sin buddy using a reg sliver build. We began doing it for feathers so we left the bosses. We soon found that we could kill the bosses then get lots of dust from the spawn. He has gone in now and soloed several times. Look me up IGN Necron Nine Nine and ill get the build he uses..but based on sliver i know for sure..and yes its in Hard Mode. Last night we raked in 6 q9 celestials, too(but all crap built in mods). BTW this is mish not explorable.

The only guy I've seen running Nahpui was a R9 Ursan [Pre-nerf] warrior with a monk hero in NM.
