Basically i was wondering if it would be possible to run a Glaiveway farm on Battle for Lions Arch.
Normal builds for DoASC DWGs, 1 Monk, probably UA, and 1 imba. Or possibly 4 dwgs, 2 monks or 3 dwgs, 2 monks, 1 SoS/Panic etc etc. But without the lightbringer signet and stuff like that.
The reason why I'm asking is mainly cause me and my best friend took a break from GW and our guild which actually got 1 million kurz faction in 5 days kind of fell apart, and a lot of my close friends left guild wars. Otherwise i would try this myself and post the awesomeness of my power or not post in my horrific failure.
With the green drop rate increasing (and not knowing if this affects the mini's rate) this weekend i figured it wouldn't be too hard to find a few GWG peoples to try this either with me or with friends or with others and report how it goes.
Also it would probably increase the amount of oppressors weapons floating around making it easier for people to fill out HoMs now.
Only drawbacks I can think of is that a conset MAY be required (1.333333k each… figure the person with cons will pay the extra 1g to make up >_>) , and that a LOT of peoples main’s have finished the quest itself.
I plan on working on getting my Imba through EOTN and get him infused, then trying this. Otherwise ill try DWG on my ranger if a team forms in the posts area or ill do DoA like crazy and find people willing to join and try it.
Basically im looking for reasons why this would/wouldnt work and ideas on how to do it.
Mainly stuff like (including my thoughts):
1. Strategy on the fight itself. (I'm thinking either A, charging into the huge mob up there and fighting like crazy. May kill everything or wipe in 3 seconds. No idea. Or, letting them kill the NPC's all the way to the first staircase and then letting the Melee ball on a DWG or Imba while the others kill the casters, then melee. (figure ranger with Throw Dirt could save himself with minimal healing right there, if only melee attack him. Casters would be an issue though))
2. Where to ball. (kind of a remake of question 1. But with actual strategy instead of hmmm i hope this works!. Figured that monks/imba would stay up high while DWGs stay under them, near the exit in the beginning. DWGs keep aggro, monks can heal. if stationed correctly i think most of the melee will get caught on DWGs, and the casters can be pulled after the Melees are gone.)
3. Is it worth the money (1.3333k) each time you do it. (I've only done BFLA a few times. I think i easily got 1.5k from my drops. The reason i ask this is just because if the rewards are crappy mini/orders/green wise it might not be worth it economically.)
4. Are the rewards worth the time? (30 minute fowsc means at least 1 shard if successful, this just means a possibility at a whole bunch of whites and 5 other people getting both White Mantle mini's. (omg could you imagine it? i would cry. Its like everyone getting obby edge at chest of woe and you getting a holy wand req 13 with non max damage or mods))
5. Is it feasible? Many people have the quest finished on their mains. Secondary and tertiary characters too possibly. Would you be willing to run a new character through Eotn/most of prophecies just to always be sure of getting into a WiK glaiveway team?
6. Would you be willing to do it? I'm kind of hoping for a test team that forms in posts below to try it a few times with different builds/people/conset no conset etc.
The fact that im in LA district 5 and only occasionally checking on GW, a lot of people are looking for the battle team wise, this could mean a larger stock of people who can use the quest. But it also means the dreadful choice, Medals of honor for sure + oppressors weapons, or the horrible thought that DWG could get nerfed meaning you have to find a completely new team to do it to get your oppressors...
TL
R peoples, DoASC except in LA with 6 people and white mantle instead of demons, mini's confessors orders and WiK greens instead of gemsets, saving Salma vs killing giant monkey.(Also, does anyone else get a little freaked out posting really long thread starters and reading over it for like an hour hoping that it doesnt bomb horribly causing ridicule for the rest of you GW time only to trail over to GW2 where people leave events when they see your name knowing your the guy who said that one thing on that forum that one time?)
