Hello all. Gate of Madness has been kicking my tail up and down. I've tried several builds, including some featuring AoB and AoD and also 130, but can't seem to find a build that works well for me in this mission. If anyone has a build that has served them well on this mission, would you please post it?

Thanks.

Run the general sabway build, with the earth henchy, paragon henchy and the two monk henchies. Once you get to shiro/lich pull shiro and kill him. Then go take the first shrine on the left. Flag all ur heroes into the far corner, and pull the lich up there. Flag the healer from sabway behind the podium, such that the lich cant actually hit him, then go back into the corner. The lich should focus on him. Run past him with the rest of ur henchies, clear the rest of the shrines, then go back and kill the lich. He's pretty easy.

Or you could just bring Wild Blow, pull shiro and the lich up to the gate, kick the lich's ass. Cap shrines in a circular order, (clockwise or anti-clockwise, doesn't matter). Beat on shiro, use Wild Blow whenver he uses battle scars.

Be strong.

Or flag the H&H to cap the shrines while you skulk... sorry, co-ordinate from a safe distance. Once the shrine bonuses are in the bag, Shiro & Liche can practically be wanded to death!

Hello! I've (effectively) used this build numerous times in GoM:

D/W

Wounding Strike {e}
Chilling Victory
Lyssa's Assault
Wild Blow
Pain Inverter (works really well on Shiro once Battle Scars is removed)
Aura of Holy Might
Attacker's Insight (combined with Lyssa's Assault you'll never run out of energy)
Great Dwarf Armor (can be replaced with anything really, but I like the armor and health boni )

Mysticism 11 + 1
Scythe Mastery 12 + 1 + 2
Wind Prayers 4 + 1

i did it with the 130 derv. Youll probably want to traget high priests first. Use henchies and heroes as well, and you can do fine. I suggest 3 n/rt healers as heroes(livia, olias, master of whispers)then take cynn, and three other fighting henchmen(i suggest devona). the heroes will probably do most against normal soldiers. do shrines first, then lich, then shiro.
