7 Hero Glint's

I don't see anyone running this, so I've been trying to put together a 7 Hero build that would allow me to do it alone.

The problem is I just recently picked up Guild Wars after a long break (have maybe been playing it a month after a few years of not playing) so I'm not too keen on acronyms for builds and the "metagame" for typical PvE builds.

Seeing as the 7 Hero update is recent, I haven't found any solid builds that would allow me to do Glint's easily (different rules apply to Destroyers such as no Burning, etc.)

Right now I'm running builds off PvX Wiki:
I'm a Paragon running a variation of the Imbagon build (Added Acid, removed Burning related skills, etc)
3 Discordway Necros
2 SoS Rits - 1 Resto variant, the other Channel
1 RoJ Monk
1 Panic Mesmer build I read off one of the threads here for general PvE (Secondary Necro with Rip Enchantment, Defile Defenses, Weaken Armor)

Runs are dicey with the first two waves (which is mostly where I wipe), usually because of how the AoE spikes end up.

I'm looking for advice on if either some of these builds are just bad for this particular mission, or just general advice in general on how to tackle this Mission with Heroes. Most of what I've read on this mission walks you through as if you had 8 players, but I'm sure there's a way to solo this mission if there's nobody ever running it.

If you're going to suggest a particular build, please don't use the acronym, as I said earlier in the post, I recently started playing, so I'm somewhat out of the loop in terms of current strategy.

Thanks for reading, sorry for it being so long.

2 SoS rits is not going to work. You can't have 2 of one spirit within a certain distance of one another. Switch one of the SoS rits to a Signet of Ghostly Might Rit, and replace RoJ monk with an Ineptitude Mes.

Also, I don't know if you are splitting your heroes up or not, but don't. You'll be much more effective taking out a side at a time.

Personally, I never had any trouble with doing this with 7 heroes. I ran Save Yourselves and Barrage on my ranger, had an Ineptitude Mes, a Panic Mes, a SoS rit with some resto, a Signet of Ghostly Might rit, a Jagged bones Minion master, an Unyielding Aura monk with some heals, and a Cultist's fervor necro with Dark Fury and Order of Pain. The first two waves never posed any problem; just switch sides as necessary to take out the groups. Third wave just hang out by the dragon. Fourth wave just use same tactics as second wave. The only problem I had (but still never resulted in a wipe), was how to approach the fifth wave, but once you get the hang of when the Destroyers pop up, and which side the groups come down in which order, it's fairly easy. The sixth wave after that is just a joke.

EDIT: Display your Deldrimor title, too. Will make things easier if your rank is high enough.

Is this NM or HM?

Since you wount move alot, spirits are great, and as post above me said, spirits doesnt stack (imagine 7 sos with all spirits+1UA?)
So you cant have 2 copies of SoS.
try this build on one of your rits:

Though, without the pve skill.

If your spirits die to quickly,try one round where you got no minions on your heroes(they can eat your spirits health in one spike)
GL, and if u need more questions answered, just ask

I did it in NM alone with H/H this way back before 7 heroes. Me a ranger with SoS + 3N: Sabway+ henchies: Lo Sha, Talon Silverwing, Mhenlo and Lina. Now with 7 heroes it is much easier.

I've switched things around a lot and found that a lot of builds work.

This first build will get you 20-22 minutes, you can change the Necro around to whatever you want as long as the first 2 skills stay the same, I've ran the build i posted above with it, this one, even a n/e with sandstorm and wards, pretty much any build will get the same time. i've used it to do over 25+ runs and only failed once.




This second one i'm currently testing, i didn't think it was doable without the minions but its actually faster, just replace the Necro with another Dom Mesmer, unsure of how stable it is though.



swapping out the second Dom for a keystone gave the same results, still want to try 4 Ineptitude, 4 Domination and 4 keystones to see how that goes, just haven't had time.



Picture of where to flag hero's



Edit: put on defensive set, or even just shield, every little bit helps, also make sure Mes's are set to aggressive.

Edit2: 2 Inept and 2 Keystones was same as above.

Worked for me now also

I put on survivor runes and runes of vitae, but not on every single piece and yeah not all of them have shields or so

Done it a few times now between 19-21 minutes afk if some foes get stuck you can put on an extra minute, but i always try to get put my watch to 15min and come and check the last few minutes.
