Hi
I´ve tried several times beating Forgewights dungeon with diffrent builds and groups.
Nowadays it´s hard to find a PUG for it because of VS farm.

Can someone give me some tips and/or strategies for beating this dungeon with H/H?
Would be very helpful.

The key to this dungeon is frozen soil and interrupts.

I'm a ranger but what I used was:

Heroes: the N/Rt healer from sabway, MM, and a mesmer with epidemic (spread daze from BHA) VoR, Empathy and a load of interrupts.

For Henchman: the 2 monks, Zho (BHA) and Herta (wards)

I'm not really familiar with sins so you will have to figure out the built but I can say this dungeon is twice as easy if you bring frozen soil. If you don't bring it, put it on a hero or something.
Furthermore: pulling etc, be very carefull. Bringing some DP removal helps.


I hope this got you in the right direction

forgewright can be done in 7 minutes, h/h like 10-20 minutes

teamsetup h/h: pretty much what Artisan sayd, doesnt really matter. no mm no frontliners as it can ruin your tanking.

load a permasin build for yourself that can do some dmg.

1: upon entering the dungeon flag h/h back and run to the keyholder and kill it. will take max 3 minutes.

2: run back to h/h
3: continue to gate while tanking mobs yourself and letting h/h do dmg
4: at the gate, open it yourself and aggro mobs to the left side, while letting h/h ''run'' as far as they can. (while there watch out for chocking gas to not mess up your SF chain)
5: while your party is dead you now run yourself to the final res shrine/point, and try not to let mobs come near it.( this because when you ressurect again you dont want to start a fight unprepared)
6: die somewhere near that res shrine
7: youll get ressurected and then the only thing you need to do is to kill remaining 4-5 groups including the boss. Note that by ressing here you skipped all the mobs you ran past.
8: kill mobs with same strategy stated before : tank(watch out for chcking gas) and let heros kill
9: kill the boss

important:
1:Forgewright dungeon does NOt drop a VS
2:getting ressed at the final shrine can sometimes be a pain but experience and practise can help it
3: on HM this requires a diffrent startegy
