ya, if u take EoE with minion masters + death nova, when one minion dies it starts a chain reaction and kills nearly everything...rinse repeat when new minions made...makes it far easier

2x EoE + death nova and Icy Veins is a sure win on first wave..rest is afk

(set the 3 spirits on top after 1 min mark and run back and set up the 2 spirits and its afk the rest)

This still works? Im using some variations I found online.. and I can never finish it!
either heros die on first wave (O.O)
or at 5th..
can anyone post the builds for ppl with no mercs here?

Already posted builds without mercs that still work flawless for me.

If your heros fail you either need better builds or better equipment (staffs are fine and overall as much HP as possible) but its not due to some kind of update that nerfed this farm (as far as im concerned, last tried it like 20 hours ago).

Thats the latest version of the build im running:

1:OQBCAswDP9HY64a55dwNd6B
2:OQlCAswDP9HY6yzcNZwNVeD
3:OQBCAcwEP1PQempDXzI0KACI
4:OACjEyiM5QXTlTeTMTciSTTODTA
5:OAhkUsG3RFuTMzO8FqqDTp5k7iB
6:OAhjUwGYoSxMKgfBVVDTTOSTjTA
7:OANEQTpW+LFz8FoAWPoFFQUVZHA

Flags are:
1 right, 2 middle, 3 left.

You can set up EoE at 1:30 or right after flagging - doesnt matter to much in terms of surviving, just makes the first wave a little faster.

Damn, Huiboo's Keystone Sig setup works. I've been watching the progress of this first go and it's clearing house like I couldn't before, even with shoddy equipment and few to no runes. I did run into a snafu at Wave 3 when I had my three mes heroes a little too far northeast so they couldn't get to the destroyers that circled around, but that was easily remedied by moving 1 & 3 back a little and moving myself back up to almost on the dragon.

Edit: And just finished my first go. 22 min including loot pickup time.


Awesome builds ladies and gents. Newbie-player approved.

Just tried Huiboo's method, no runes except on one hero:

1: Dragon died 4th wave, heroes not at all, total afk
2: Dragon died 3rd wave, heroes not at all, total afk
3: Funnily enough, my heroes died a sh*t ton, but this was the successful run. afk except in the third wave, I moved myself and the mesmers slightly back to get the guys circling around, 18-19 minutes!

Next tries: Loopysnoopy's placement of the mesmer's, and now everyone has full survivor insignias (not enough money for runes of vitae... YET); I also want to try to not move at all in the third wave, as that would be ideal.

Will keep you updated, easily the best build to work for me yet.

Has anyone tried these in HM yet? Once I can afford the runes/insigs, I'm going to see if the Keystone method will work. (That may be tonight, if people keep buying my Brotherhood Cloths. )

Yes, i put all of them exept the SoS Rit on agressive (maybe that also helps with the baby dragon gettin killed @Leto Augustus).
I got Survivor Insignias on chest and legs and Major vigor for all heros.
The Discord Heros got Sup Death magic runes (just because i had them on there before), the KS heros got major fast casting and minor dom/illu runes and the SoS rit got sup channeling and minor resto.

The 3 necs got the grim shadow staffs with +60hp from DoA, the Rit got Oolas Staff, the dom mesmers got Illyana's Staff and the illu mes got something weird i wouldnt recomment^^

Yeah, I put my mesmers on aggressive, I'll try with everyone next time, but I've found it to be pretty stable now.

Couple posts before yours i posted a build with just 3 mesmers, so no mercs needed.
Works just as good as the build with 5 mesmers.

I should be able to rune-/gear-up this weekend and try it a few times to see how it works.

Need more storage space.

I tried it in HM with runes and equipment and didnt make it past the first wave.
Dont think its possible AFK.
At least not with my build.

I noticed that the third necromancer is speced to have 3 Blood without any Blood skills. I think it should be changed to Curses to power Enfeebling Blood (a curses skill).

P/W

for this is it just cast eoe on the first wave at 1:30 or at the begining of each wave at 1:30?

Just the first wave, to take out the loads of Ranger-type Destroyers that are swarming you. After that, just sit back and do something else for about 19 minutes.

But don't forget to come back and loot everything, especially the Chest of the Brotherhood!

How is it that the Ranger destroyers can attack you from like 1.7x the aggro bubble? I don't understand how you guys do the first wave AFK with this...

There's always a Ranger that's barraging you out of range, and so your heroes don't do anything about it. I come back after 20 minutes and find out there's still one stupid thing left from the first wave.

If I set my heroes to aggressive to deal with this problem, then they keep chasing the incoming units in the first wave, and as a result they run out of range of my backline and die. Do I set my backline to aggressive as well or something?...

I have done this about 25 times with heroes, no mercs, its a great thing, 19 minutes it takes me, works a treat- great to do if you're watching a film and want to make about 10K every 20minutes, not a get rich quick kinda thing but still very efective if you want destroyer cores, q8/16 shields, golds and cloths of the brotherhood.

I set all my heroes except Xandra to aggressive, and place my 3 mesmers on each corner of the ledge, and i stand up the baby dragon's nose.

Thanks for the builds/guides and the great support in this thread!

Yeah it's quite helpful, I tried it out yesterday with kinda random heroes and it worked fine. Iiirc I had 3 mesmers, 1mm, 1necro/rt healer, 1sos splinter half healer and 1 necro/mesmer ES nuker. Didn't have much trouble. In wave 1, I used EoE and Winds(since it's mostly ranged mobs, figured it wouldn't hurt) then just picked up loot around/

I would just like to say that you dont need mercs at all for this. I do it in the same amount(if not faster) of time with 2 eles as the e-surge mesmers. I also substitute power drain for AoR and have never lost. done prob 1000+ runs

I recently tried this yesterday and have found some issues. Sometimes when you set your mesmers to attack they go out too far and eventually they may die, othertimes when the destroyerspawns come from behind the 3 mes's on the ledge are too far away so they don't attack and there have been some wipes from me from that. I am researching the sweet spot as we speak. =D

Great build by the way, awesome idea!

Another note, the rit will not cast splinter weapon on members that have a spellcasting weapon or are holding a bundle, I suggest an attack skill instead

Works great, just have to have the title up, can make it trough without it though, but you need to bring a few rezs.

Ok.

I'm rank 3 and I've gotten it to work 8 times, with around 2 fails. I'm pretty sure I have it down now to where it would always work. I have the necros on Aggressive or whatever it's called, and everyone else on defend. The piece of the puzzle that was giving me problems for a while was I now flag heroes 4-7 right at the baby dragon's head, so they don't run out in front of the mesmers. That has been working very well.

I have done it without displaying the title so it is unnecessary. No mercs but runed heros. Can be done at any rank.
