Tips for Cantha VQ'ing?

Especially in some of the areas where there's around 10 monsters in a (boss) mob in places like Shenzun Tunnel on the Afflicted Kam boss. It's beginning to frustrate me.

I only have five areas to go to max my title. D: Vanquished all of Cantha/Elona with an Earthshaker build, Livia as a Minion Bomber; Talkhora as the standard hybrid Healer/Prot and Gwen as utility and caster shutdown. Do some careful pulling. Afflicted Ritualists have hard rez on and they're the healers to hit them first.

It's easy stuff like the rest of the game tbh, if you know what you're doing. Discord and alikes are unecessary and they're either easy mode for those that can't do it any other way or the ones that just wanna breeze through PvE with minimal effort, wich often are both. Have Fun.

I never had a single issue with HM in cantha. It was the easiest to vq and guardian. This.

Elona and some parts of Tyria are considerably harder.
Abuse broken Hero builds. Discord, Spirits, Ether Renewal. Then laugh your way through, also work on your sweet tooth by popping consumables as you go along. You should be fine as long as you set up decent heroes and pull cleverly.

Most Elona was so easy it bored the hell out of me most of the times.

To be perfectly honest, cantha isnt all that bad. I did it using a spiritway team. Just pull carefully, spread your heroes and micro some skills for them every now and then. What worked like a breeze for me was to have prot spirit cast on me before a fight, then run in and soak the initial aoe.

Spread heroes out against afflicted due to RoJ & the eles. Bring Pain Inverter to destroy the monks, time it so it hits right at the end of roj, and hopefully will kill them in one or 2 pulses. The focus all damage on rits.

I never had a single issue with HM in cantha. It was the easiest to vq and guardian. hmm I have my guardian in Proph done quite easy, same for Elona(some problems with dzanogur) and EOTN. But the most annoying thing about HM + bonus in cantha is the stupid toons you have to protect or they need to survive. I think I need 2 more, thanakai temple and eternal grove. One of those damn tree singers always seem to die. I might try another player to see if this makes it a bit easier. I hero/henched all other campaigns.

T-Temple is really quite easy, and yes Eternal Grove is so much easier when you have another player with a decent team holding the opposite side.

You need to be very careful about flagging your heroes. You also need to bring DP removal for the whole party - clovers, honeycombs, rainbow candy canes, etc. Each area in Factions has one very difficult boss party, with the rest of the area being easier to handle. I hate to be one of those guys, but I've vanquished Cantha fully on 7 of my 8 characters (1 more to go, a third of the way there) and have never used consumables.

They aren't really "needed".
