Hi, I'm new here. I searched for Joko's Domain and most of the results were runners naming their prices...

Is it possible to vanquish Joko's Domain with h/h? I am elementalist. Or is human tank required?

My main problem is the undead, I use Discordway and they are probably the bane of Discordway with Spell Breaker and Vow of Silence (and lots of other nasty skills). Also, upon exit of Wurms I am left with no minions at all.

Thanks for any info provided

Apologies if this has already been discussed (please linkie) or is in the wrong forum.

I usually run a discord team with my ele, but I switched to a smite team to vq Joko's and took Frozen Soil on my own bar. It was a brutal vq, but I got the job done with H&H, so it is possible. Discord, as wonderful as it is, is not the universal answer to everything. Don't limit your thinking.

Edit: I did Joko's a couple of months before the skill update that turned the bad guys into super rezzers, so it is probably more difficult to keep them down now. But I'm sure Frozen Soil will help tremendously.

Yeah you can vanquish joko's domain with H/H , the only thing i had difficulty with is this boss- http://wiki.guildwars.com/wiki/Shekoss_the_Stony ,he has a huge mob with him and you can't reach him with the Junundu so killing him can be difficult ,although it is possible.

Smite heroes, interrupt henchman and Frozen soil on one of the heroes.

If you still can't do it, pop consets.

If you still can't do it, use spirit-way, FS and consets.

Will take you about 1.5 hrs to get it done.

I H/H'ed Joko's Domain with discordway. Didn't have much of a problem with the ele boss group, but had some problems with the Para boss. Just make sure to bring Frozen Soil somewhere on your bar and maybe bring a couple Powerstones of Courage just in case.

Took me an hour and a half, but it got the job done.

Thanks for all the tips! It seems I posted without enough Forethought. The Awakened Acolytes no longer use Spell Breaker... when did this happen? The Thought Leechers' elite has also changed. But I still get pummeled due to the massive interrupts

Will keep trying..

discordway can suck my balls (not just this area) - try using an earth build with ward against elements....help with damage from ele boss + blinds for the melee enemies....use your flags wisely to keep your h/h seperated to avoid horrendous interupts...
also hexes ARE bad due to HEV(!) - mass damage from those pesky mesmer enemies...
due to the buffs on para rez there - you'll need FS - but use wisely...alternatively check wiki for the skills that are uneffected by the effects of FS - or bring scrolls of resurrection
can recommend on your monk hero - prot spirt / spirit bond / another prot skill (maybe - first 2 should be proficient)

try as your team setup....
you as earth ele - wards / blinds etc. - you tank mobs
monk hero - hybrid heal / prot - SB + PS
mes hero - smiter - RoJ or SoJ with other smites and hard rez
last hero can be variable - perhaps spirit spammer rit? - with some resto spirits and the likes for added damage reduction(!) alternatively...maybe a para hero with shout buffs or if managed well HoHF derv? - (just throwing derv out there)
hench: 2 monks, earth ele, mes < added prot and wards - mes throughs out interupts and if i remember mes hench was HEV?

hope something here helps you - roughly how i cracked this area - but prior to rit buffs and the introduction of PvE skills (pre-gwen) PI should work nicely here
