I'm looking for a MyChar+3Heros/4Henchmen build. Something that'll be fun in Normal mode for quick runs through, yet usable for HM once I get used to using it. I looked at the PvXwiki build already, seems focused on HM to me.

Also could use some help with MyChar recommends. I have a Ranger/Rt. I play often, a Mesmer, Dervish and Totem Axe Mo/W that is beginning to be fun to use too. I can always build the other remaining char types, I have the resources now.

Most of all it needs to be fun, not a grind.

Thanks in advance!

PS: Part of the goal is to acquire enough Diessa Chalices and Rin Relics to acquire the Blindfold and Mask for a few of my chars. They don't drop very often in NM. I did a run yesterday clearing the entire dungeon and got none, zip! Very Disappointing. And Rin Relics for my chars seems be to rarer than chalices too...

A friend and I ran it in HM for the zaishen bounty a few days ago, and we didn't see either of those items drop. So it's not just NM...

It's not a very difficult dungeon, thankfully. I H/H'ed it in HM with 2 rit spirit spammers + a nec/rt support (I'm a War so took Splinter Weapon, Weapon of Warding, misc heals.. stuff like that), and 2 hench monks, earth, and whatever else like interrupt.

There is a good amount of undead, and enough treasure chests so Light of Deldrimor is a good idea, and if you're going for the boss as well make sure you bring the interrupt spirit and the interrupt hench will be useful. PI is a decent option if she's still getting casts through (she doesn't regen, and has AoEs so PI will take her down quick).

This setup will probably work best with your Derv since you can hold aggro away from all the casters, I've not tried it with a ranged/caster main.

Bring Holy damage, and lots of it.

I would not recommend ray of judgement as the monsters will either rupt it or run out of the area

Heart of the Holy Flame on a physical and / or Aura of Holy Might on a /D will work wonders.

Also Spiritway does a pretty good job regardless of team set up.

I would not recommend the ranger as your primary dungeon running character as bows are incredibly weak in PvE, if anything bring your dervish, Holy Damage + Scythe = dead mobs by the dozens.

Does Avatar of Balthazar still convert dmg to holy dmg? If so it would be useful on the derv in conjunction with other enchants to deal some heavy holy damage
