Glint's Afk Farm

First; I take the approach of flagging them closer to the dragon, still in the triangle with core, but closer together. That's riskier by having the heroes closer, but they spread quickly shortly after. The advantage of that is that the enemies make a clean ball and a bigger one for a quick spike and death. They usually get spiked in moments.

As far as HM - there's no advantage to doing besides 4 extra destroyer cores. And as far as attempting to afk glint's in HM, I doubt that's possible at all, with the faintest (but unreliable) possibility with a few skill changes taking advantage of HM and fully 100% runed and weaponed heroes. If you want to do HM, you'll have to do it alongside all the way with a full bar.

Good luck! Thanks for the suggestion, Plutoman.

But as of late, my ranger has been running full bar already with traps for physical coming to the middle and went dervish with eternal aura for anti wipe and that is normal mode where things can get messy sometimes (Destroyer of Lives come to mind).

I guess if it is not worth the trouble, I will go R/A whirling solo for hard mode, then.

For the guy above who says it doesn't work afk for the first wave, why would i post this saying "glints afk farm" if it wasn't fully afkable. if you read threw this thread, not just the posts with builds you'll see there's plenty of people who have this working. so rune up those hero's, toss some shields and spears on them, display that title and have at er.

Which runes you use? Sorry om a nab hero 1: major channel on headpiece, major vigor on hands, minor spawning on feet (health 511, Energy 57)

hero 2: minor fastcast on headpiece, major vigor on hands, minor domination on feet (health 550, energy 51)

hero 3: minor illusion on headpiece, minor fastcast on feet (health 510, energy 47)

hero 4: major healing on headpiece, major vigor on hands, minor divine on feet (health 556, energy 55)

hero 5: superior death on headpiece, major vigor on hands, minor soulreaping on feet (health: 516, energy 49)

hero 6: major death on headpiece, major vigor on hands, minor soulreaping on feet (health 576, energy 45)

hero 7: major death on headpiece, major vigor on hands, minor curses on feet (health 531, energy 53)

hope that helps, these are far from the best to do the job (some skills are not need and could be replaced with better), but Ive done it over 30 odd times now and had 2 failures...
which is ok by me... Im a nab too

I also run survivor and attunement insignias as well as attunement runes....

greenough: As I stated, it works. But sometimes, my heroes do not kill the mobs fast enough and the other side overwhelm one of them. In normal mode, sometimes I can go afk and come back later and they still up and running. Sometimes they require more micro.

I believe that is a mistake on my part as I run most of my heroes without proper weapon set(some of them use the weapon they started with) and some of them without runes combine with the lack of mercenary mesmer. But the setup still works, despite all those shortcomings. I have no intention to attack your post or anything. The runes and equipment, oddly, can make quite a bit of difference. The title can also make a difference if you've forgotten it - the number of times I've done that and wondered why it was failing is countless it feels like.

A second suggestion I have is to carry any max shield with you and unequip any weapon you carry. Attributes don't matter, just the +8 armor from not having them. It makes it easier to afk because you don't get targeted by repeated chaos storms, causing additional pressure.

The addition of caster spears + shields also affects that on the heroes, because the chaos storms will be cast much less frequently.

The addition of caster spears + shields also affects that on the heroes, because the chaos storms will be cast much less frequently. Me being a decently new player, can you or anyone define what caster spear/shield combo is? I'm assuming it's a spear with energy +5 native, fort grip, "Don't Think Twice/LTMLA" insc, but I'm not sure about what spearhead. Other than fort mod, I'm unsure about shields too.

There is no such thing as a 'native' (it's called an inherent mod) for a spear. Spears have a head (prefix), inscription (which replaces a slot which would normally be inherent), and a grip (suffix). Mods would be +5e inscription, +30 health or +5AL grip (+5AL is generally the better choice, though if there's a lot of armor ignoring damage you'd want the health), and the head doesn't matter (in fact, you're best off leaving it blank unless you know what you're doing). Shield would be +30 health... and none of the inscriptions add much. Maybe +10AL vs. piercing or slashing if I had to choose, but I wouldn't bother.

Firstly thanks for this, its an awesome setup.

This is for all the people with no mercs....

Ive done 2 runs with no issues and I dont do anything at all, except pick up drops...

heres the builds:

Myself-monk = edge of distinction but I dont use it or need it.

hero1= Rt-SoS: OACkAqhkITez18bWOhmVTvJzEjB
hero2= Me-Panic: OQhkAkC8QFiDNIH0EId9gMg0cyB
hero3=Me-Inept: OQhkAoB8AGK0LAC4KAKQe2yXGwFD
hero4=Mo-UA healer: OwUTMmGDZqBcj4ioLCkID4uhhAA
hero5=N-Discord1: OANEUsht8KFzoAeUhGsFWPEQETA
hero6=N-Discord2: OAhkUwG4RFmTMrKYHQEDTpJ1+iB
hero7=N-Discord3: OAhjUwGYoOxsjaGbYO5kmjzLGA

Hero 1 in the middle spot, Hero 2 left hand side, hero 3 right hand side.
Heros 1,2,3 are set to fight.
Hero 4 is avoid.
Heros 5,6,7 are set to guard
and I sit right on the dragons nose.

All my heros are runed and have green weapons, except hero3 he is only lvl 18 atm and no runes or decent weapons..

Though my runs take a bit longer, 19-20 mins. I find having the minions prove useful to act as a meat shield for the baby dragon when the destroyers come from behind..

Hope it works, thanks again for the setup and idea.
cheers

Steve see i tried this, i had a sin with EoE, sup death runes on necros, and the weps they got, major dom on gwen and norgu, sup healing on ogden, and sup spawning on xandra(dies the most). what am i doin wrong mate. i flag 1 center corner, 2 left, 3 right and rest in the middle. and i cast EoE 1:30...

Only flag the 3 heroes

Did a few runs with some build variation, always including 1 ineptitude, 2 esurge, 1 sos/resto and 1 curse/resto. The other 2 varied: RoJ smite support (lol burning...), commandagon, ER/prot, ER/domination, MM/prot. No mercs.

My build was completely empty (no EoE either) and I just stood afk in front of the dragon with all heroes unflagged and on guard.

With the MM it's pretty easy, but it takes a few minutes longer. Without it success isn't guaranteed.

Times from 21-24 minutes. thought they were immune to burning? i could be wrong, i'll have to go check because if their not then 7 SF Ele's would do this much faster than anything.
