Vanquishing Deldrimor Bowl

I just recently started doing some vanquish with my Necro and I'm feeling the need to throw my PC out the window on this area. Simply because on the groups with 2 protectors I can't outdamage their heals, hell I'm lucky if I even get to lower their HP to 80%. I've tried a number of solutions, always H/H'ing, I've been running with a heavy physical team suited for the build I bring along, curses btw.

I have:

Talkhora, hybrid
Olias, MM
Gwen, tried shutdown, energy denial, interrupts, a few other builds...
Another Monk + Warrior or Ranger.

The 6 man limite is kind of a pain here, since the other areas I've vanquished always had 8. I have to rely on Olias for the physicals, otherwise it's just me and my spear.

Tried with Vekk as well, few other combinations, but I pure and simply cannot outdamage them. So I ask anyone whose done this area, any tips would be very apriciated, cause I can't even get past the very first group I encounter cause of the 2 monks... And there's groups with even more.

Enchat strips, lots of enchat strips.

[[rend enchantments] should leave them open to a quick takedown, provided your team build is solid.

Try a Broad Head Arrow hero.. I had no problems with the area.

See above posts. Something with a daze and strip enchaments.

Energy denial is pointless in PvE. Anet thinks its funny that casters can have infinate energy.

Since you said you're running curses and didn't mention your Elite... (I figure you're running SS)

[Lingering Curse] is the best bet, but [Pain of Disenchantment] coupled with Gaze or Rend would be nice as well. Regardless of your Elite choice, be sure to drop [Soul Barbs] on the target as well.

I play as a ranger, so BHA comes with me on every vanquish. You might consider bringing [Technobable] on your bar for an easier daze - its just much shorter lived.

Hi, when i did it, i did the whole thing from droks, with 8 man, also, if you having that much trouble, did you try cons???, from droks, you should be able to get 8 man group, also, have you tried from camp rankor, not sure but i think thats a 8 man party, if you need some help , i be glad to help you out, i run a ranger, can do all builds, and got all heroes maxed out, runed out, weaponed out, ussally on after 4:30 PM Eastern standard time ( usa), ign name is " Gwendolyn star '

How do you enter deldrimor bowl from droks without entering beacon's perch (which is a 6 man area) ?

Thanks for your help, I actually tried using Lingering Curse but I suppose I'll give it another try. Gonna try the BHA as well, tough conditions on this area are somewhat useless, since there's always at least 2 monks and each has [mend ailment] and [purge conditions], but Gwen might help me deal with the 2nd monk.

Congrats on completion I would have helped if u needed

Hello


I have had a few PPL pm in game asking for how to vanquish this area, here goes, i play ranger and i run my own personal build, which is not important for this, but you need at : 1 good Minion master(jagged bones prefered), i bring 2 mesmers i hero mesmer with standard power block or energy surge builds(look at wiki), and the henchie mesmer, either mesmer can be substituded for a Bha ranger, but not both, 1 hero monk, i use healer boon build(wiki), and the 2 ele henchies thats preety much it, make sure you got a good long bow, and pull carefully, alow time for heroes and henchies to regen health and energy, good luck, and if you cant still cant get it, then give me a holler in game, if im avaliable, i come help you out, igame name : Gwendolyn Star.

Ugghhh I just finished that area a few days ago the 2,3,4, protector groups and the one with the monk boss healer groups were a royal pain. Then going over the map multiple times looking for the patrolling centaurs (2 patrols in my case) was awful. Though nothing compared to trying to do majestys rest. I get splatted on that center island (with rotscales and bone dragons) all the time finally gave up. Have to come back to that one. The Anvil rock one was a pain too looking for that last group of patrolling minatuars, went over the map several times.

I finished that area today with hammer warrior, Corrupt Enchantment necro (with heavy ench removals), Interrupt mesmer and the usual henchies healers and an ele. It was a pain just with the group with the healer boss and the two protectors around him. But this time I was targeting the warriors and they fell down easily.

I've tried this zone several times with 6 in H/H group with no luck, so I wandered over from from TOA with a H/H party of 8. I brought the Discordway build with one necro setup as enchant remover/interrupt. I also equipped another necro with Well of Profane (worked marginally). I found saving all the double, triple and quadruple protector groups until the end was helpful. Coming in thru the Griffon portal and heading NW and then going in a figure 8 pattern helped. This allowed me to pickup all the boss morale boosts, which came in quite handy. I did have to go back to the Griffon portal to get the Vanquish to appear (weird how that works).

Thanks to others in this thread for the advice on the enchant removal, etc,
IMO this is the key to vanquishing this zone regardless of party size

I took a caravan over from ToA to vanquish Deldrimor bowl last night. I'm not sure the builds I used were as good as they could be but they didn't fail me in the end. Still, some coordinated spikes were required to take down the protectors where there were more than one in a group. I used the following:

[build prof=E name="Human Ele" box Earth=12+1+3 Energy=12+1][Earth Attunement][Glyph of Lesser Energy][Ward Against Melee][Unsteady Ground][Stoning][Glowstone][Churning Earth]["You Move Like A Dwarf!"][/build]

[build prof=N/Rt name="Minion Master Hero" box Death=12+1+3 Soul=8+1 Restoration=10][Jagged Bones][Animate Bone Minions][Death Nova][Blood of the Master][Vengeful Weapon][Spirit Light][Life][Death Pact Signet (PvE)][/build]

[build prof=Me/N name="Domination Mesmer Hero" box Domination=12+1+3 Inspiration=8+1 Curses=10 Fast=2+1][Power Block][Cry of Frustration][Power Spike][Power Drain][Drain Enchantment][Diversion][Enfeebling Blood (PvE)][Rip Enchantment][/build]

[build prof=Mo/Rt name="Smite Monk Hero" box Smiting=12+1+3 Divine=10+1 Channeling=8][Ray of Judgment][Smiter's Boon][Smite Condition][Reversal of Damage][Scourge Enchantment][Ancestors' Rage (PvE)][Splinter Weapon][Heaven's Delight][/build]

+ Alesia (Uses [[Word of Healing] and the only Hench Monk there is in ToA.)

+ Little Thom (Out of Little Thom and Stefan, Thom comes out on top for me. Thom was used to make use of Splinter Weapon and Ancestors' Rage.)

+ Claude

+ Orion
Not sure if this would be possible without Claude and Orion and therefore starting from Beacon's Perch; I did mainly choose them because they were the best out of what was available and I'm not sure how much difference they made. I am quite a fan of Dunham, but given I already had my own Mesmer on this occaision I feel adding Dunham wasn't warranted.

When I did my caravan vanquish from ToA through all the areas to Eastern Frontier (9 hours^^) there were two or three groups with many protectors giving me a little grief in Deldrimor's bowl.

Ran with discord-way (me as warrior) just kept switching targets until they started dying, not as challenging as Dreadnaught's Drift was.
