Okay

So I posted here last night looking for a VQ build for Tyria.
Today I set up my triple necro for discord. I play monk and set up for Assassin's Promise caller. I was with a friend who was W/A also running Assassin's Promise, 2 discord heroes, 1 explosive growth.

Absolutely tore through almost all of Kryta, manguma and 1 Southern Shiverpeak area, even with the party limit of 6 everywhere but ToA.

My problem is, Rotscale.
We went to go VQ that area and were destroyed by his group.
Is there and modified build to help clear that? Or am I just doing something wrong?



Thank you in advance

Well you need to have some interrupts and then you're just fine, i did it hero & Hench just with mesmer interrupt hero & ranger interrupt hero & monk hero (me as SV Nec) And then sum random henchs

There are some long threads on Rotscale on these forums if you search. However they can be pretty much condensed down to

'Keep him dazed'.

Take a means to do this and you'll be fine.

I went as a 600 and killed him easily, have your friend bring extinction and he presses the button as soon as you get daze and that is it

1. Bring holy damage for his buddies (though it won't affect Rotscale).
2. Bring dazed for Rotscale.
3. Bring some more dazed for Rotscale.
4. Bring a rez that works inside [Frozen Soil].
5. Four-leaf clovers (This is the right time of year).

I used a 2-man Rotscale build from PvX.

http://pvx.wikia.com/wiki/Build:Team..._Rotscale_Farm

I used the monk/necro to run up and tank/kill everything. I played the monk/ranger part myself as an ele/monk. Then I took a ranger hero just to keep symbiosis up.

I was kinda sad that I could own the whole island that way (everything but Rottie dies in about 20 sec), but failed hard with every 8-man team I took. Seems like poor design...

I used sabway tbh x) oh and cupcakes and 1 powerstone.

I focused on the weak ones first *pulled as much as possible* then killed the Bone Dragons and finally Rotscale.

Was this setup also able to kill everything else in Majesty's Rest? The OP did ask about how to do it as part of a vanquish, and I'm curious myself, not having started Tyria vq yet.

@jackinthe: Do you mean that the area should basically be vanquished as a four-man operation, with the other two being a 600/smite subteam brought just for dealing with Rotscale? Sounds like a neat idea.

There's only about 70 foes in Magesty's Rest. I did take a full team of 8 h/h and used them all for the rest of the area. Any balanced team will do, but making the 3rd hero a Ray smiter helps. For Rotscale's island, I flagged the 4 hench and third hero off the map and just used the Mo/N and Ranger heroes.

3 roj monks, 1 shield of judgment monk, one foul feast/plague signet (for 40 secs of daze fun) necro, one unyielding aura monk to bypass fs, one obsidian flesh tank(party member), one spoil victor/life bonder necro(me). rotscale's group raped themselves on shield of judgment, rotscale raped himself on spoil victor and was perma dazed thanks to his own ability.
