7 Hero Glint's

he wasn't afk as we said after that post, he was there recasting bonds the whole time.

i'd say add this :

Air of Sup + Ebs of wisdom --> quick recharge on mesmers --> = win

I've never tried Glints before and it actually ended up being a lot easier than I expected. Was kind of shocked to see the chest spawn.

I was running (just my normal PvE team, didn't put too much thought into it)

Me: Sos Rit

Panic Mesmer
Ineptitude Mesmer
Jagged Bones Necro with a Channeling Secondary (Splinter and Ancestor's Rage)
Pain of Disenchantment Necro with Restoration Secondary heals
Unyielding Aura Monk
SoGM Rit
Soul Twisting Rit (Shelter, Displacement, Union)

I've tried again a lot of time...

1st wave: easy with EoE
2nd wave: difficult...Destroyer of Compassion (Dervish) kick ass...this wave is random
3rd wave: easy
4th wave: not easy when spawns Destroyer of Compassion
5th wave: difficul if you don't kill immediatly Destroyers of Lives
6th wave: easy

I use greenough build

getting 18 minute runs constantly..

3 mesmers aren't equiped..
all my heroes have crappy weapons..

all this by afk

EDIT:

3x E-surge
2x Inept
1x SoS splinter / resto
1x emo prot ( ofcourse )

if you were AFK, how is EoE spirit in the middle of duration when you are the only party member with Ranger skills equipped?

just putting that up at the end..

have been staring @ my screen for +- 20 minutes.

might have triggered ward and EOE on bosses but that makes no different..

it's easy and everybody can do it..

the bonds are mainly as an extra enchantment for the e/mo so he gains more energy from ER.. ( yes he gets low sometimes because he can't keep ER up constantly --> and when there's a lot of dmg he will prot first and than use ER )

@Rob2686:

If you're really poor, there are MANY good collectors weapons. For 5 Cobalt Talons you can get a +5e spear.

As for collector shields, there are too many to go over, BUT the attribute doesn't matter for casters, so choose the collector asking for the item that is easiest to farm or that you already have. Many are inscribleable as well.

You have the option to craft Asuran Spears for 40 wood, 20 granite and 5k at Rata Sum. You'll still need a +5 energy inscription, but if one is selling it you can take a chance with those 'unid golds for 700ea' sellers (not recommended, although cheaper than lockpicks).

I think Asuran equipment are still the cheapest req9 AND inscribleable CRAFTABLE stuff available (very convenient).

Regarding weapon mods, because of the way GW calculates damage you typically want +armor rather than +HP, the exception being vs. degen and if you want to avoid specific party members from being targeted (AI likes to target lowest total health- part of why DP'ed heroes are doomed to die even more)

Hey there. So I have tried this setup. But I've ran it rezless.
Unfortunately I wasnt able to screen it right after I was done, but according to the score, it looks like a 19min run.


Edit: Afk the whole time, haven't used a single skill.

Edit2: I think it would be good to mention that 2 mesmers and Zhed were runeless and others had just random staves I have found round my storage. I think that the esurge/resto bar helped to ease the stress on my healers a bit.

Edit3: Current record 2122

Hey guys, signed up just to post this.

I copied Lightzors builds exactly with the 5 mes, SoS and E/Mo and it worked perfectly... eventually.

Firstly, I tried solely the builds and default weapons of the heros with a lvl 18 norgu (just unlocked him), and AFK got raped in the first round.

Secondly, I tried with /bonus luminous scepter (+20% HCT and +5e) and serrated shield (-5/20% +30hp) on all of the mesmers. Xandra had default weps and E/Mo had high energy staff. And got Norgu to lvl 20. Once again got raped in the first round.

Third time lucky I took EoE on myself and cast it twice in the first round then AFK. Worked perfectly til the eles in 5th round decimated the party.

Fourth run, I runed up all the heros with minor vigor, survivor insignia on chest, and +1 dom rune on E surgers, Illusion on Ineptitudes, Restoration on Rit and left ele alone. Had to maintain EoE in the first round, and one mes died at the end of the 5th round. But all went smoothly and completed it.

Finally I put 3 +2 energy runes on all the mesmers because i noticed they were running out of energy despite the management in there. In this run I actually forgot to cast EoE but they dealt with the first round with ease. The rest of the run went fine and no one died. Time was 19 minutes completely AFK.

All in all I spent 35k on kitting out the heros but seems to be money well spent...

Hey, thanks for the feedback
As for EoE, if I take it, usually I drop it down round 1:25 and then go afk.

Yeah, dont need it but it certainly speeds up the process
thanks for the builds and the others who helped.

So I need some advice for this. I initially tried the three mesmers build posted earlier in the thread and struggled to get past the first wave, even with all the characters runed up.
Due to lack of 4th mesmer I drafted in Vekk to go Esurge and this seemed to work successfully, at least until the 5th wave where I invariably get utterly annihilated by the Destroyers of Lives.

Heres the current setup I'm using:


Apologies for the size, didn't realise it would load up that big.

The only thing I haven't done is upgraded the staffs (I'm using the bonus luminous ones for the mesmers) and the shields, mainly because I've already spent a fair amount of platinum on this and I'm beginning to quickly run out.
Could that be the difference maker?

It's quickly becoming more a matter of pride more than anything else.

Any tips?

And yes I know I still have Necro skills on my bar, I haven't been touching those in the instance though.
If you can give me any advice on here or in game (Dumarh Darkmoon) it would be much appreciated.

Noxsus, I'd say drop the monk for another e surger. In this challenge more damage has higher priority over heals due to the speed of the spawns.

Remember to place your ineptitudes left and right and e surge in front.

Try running acolyte sousouke in stead of your monk and run this bar

I use 5 mes and i have no problem completing the run with runes and the weapons your using. I dont see why an ele alternative wouldnt work.

Good luck.

No way, really, you just need a team that can handle them running around. I flag them back from the edge a bit to keep some of it from happening, but they still do it at points frequently.

I solved my problem with vekk; I had to put the E/Mo on 'fight' so he'd actually go protect others. No idea why, but if he was on 'guard' or 'avoid' then he'd stand around doing nothing but maintaining aura, regardless if people were dying within his aggro bubble.

Any weapon, if you don't equip any weapon then you don't a) get splinter cast on you - b) get chaos storm cast on you.

Awesome build btw, I of course, I wasn't AFK. However the first 2 mes. The Rit SOS, and the Panic Mes and the Inpetude Mes. First 2 wave's. Place SOS Rit below the baby dragon, not where the dragon but right down the hill. The Panic mes left side near the left door way and the inpteude right door way. The other 4 right near the the SOS Rit.

At 1:20-1:30 I cast EOE, I do this for the first 2 wave.

After the first 2 waves. I pull all of my heros back. I put SOS on top of hill, in the middle. Panic on the left, and Inpetude right side. Other 4 right in the dead center of the baby dragon.

Now I keep them 4 near the area, sometimes I move them to the tip of the cliff to get minions.

The first 2 mes, I set them to attack.

I managed to do all the waves. Good Luck...

Hmmm, really? So shall i use 2 ineptitude mes?

----------

Hmmm your right, it worked better with 2 of them. Again I had 2 Inpe mes, 2 Rits, a SOS and SOGM, and 3 Discord necs. Some of them in my party died but managed to complete it again.

Well did my 3rd run, and completed it again. Ummm, what do you guys use to post builds, screens and such, so I can share some stuff as well?

just press printscreen, and upload it via imgshack or tinyimg.
with builds, either dl Paw-ned or be a master @ Paint.
