Hi All -- For the Arborstone mission is a standard Rit healer build good enough to H/H the mission or is there a better setup. In particular the completion of the last hall before Danica opens the doors is the one giving me the most trouble. Comments welcome.

What Heroes/Henchies are you usually bringing? What do you mean by a "standard" Resto build? Channeling/Resto?

To answer you questions:

a) Yes, a typical channeling/resto build.

b) Since this is a new Factions toon without any heros I have been taking henchies from the mission starting point. Usaully, I bring Devona, Aidan, Jamei, Eve, Lo Sha, Cynn, and the professor.

I hope that helps.

If I remember right, most of the damage you are receiving near the end is from the hammer warriors. Try to fit in [Enfeebling Blood], it will make them much less painful. If I recall Danica only rushes ahead when you kill the boss, so if you kill the rest of the enemies first and then the boss she shouldn't run up to the door and get killed mid battle.

If that doesn't work it only takes like 10 minutes to get some heroes. Pop over to nightfall and get everything up to sousuke/jin, go to EotN for Vekk, go to LA for Olias and you have pretty much all the useful hero classes covered.

The whole mission is rather easy.
if you can go rt/n and fit in Enfeebling Blood that would help,just be carful and keep weakness(or blind?) on the boss and you should be OK.

Channeling-Restoration hybrid is good. Not a vast number of Rit elites available before Arborstone (more-so if you don't have Nightfall), so I would consider Tranquil was Tanasen purely to keep your sanity intact, if nothing else! Maybe something like:

Tranquil was Tanasen {Elite}
Splinter Weapon
Ancestors' Rage
Essence Strike
Soothing Memories
Weapon of Warding / Spirit Light / Mend Body and Soul
Life
Flesh of my Flesh.

An alternative to Tranquil was Tanasen could be Spirit Channeling (available from Shenzun Tunnels), just east of Maatu Keep. It makes for adequate energy management until you can get something better.

Channeling: 12 + 1

Done.

I'd prolly even suggest Enfeeble here (instead of EBlood).
It lasts longer - but more importantly - it's a 1/4 sec cast.
That way you can be pretty sure it will land.
