VERSION 4.O is out and has been updated on the opening post!!! I absolutely LOVE the change I made to the ST Rit. Here are some details to the changes I made.

1. ST Shelter Rit- Made a HUGE overhaul on his setup changing from away to guard. First off I changed his secondary to mesmer and loaded him up with e-management and interupts and gave him Protective was Kaolai, the only item heros use well. With dual PwK you can get back party wide heals in excess of 250h.p. Also, changed the runes so that he is now running 12-comm 12-spawn 9-resto 9-inspiration. Trust me you will fall in love with this build....it's simply the BEST and run it on all my hero setups. Note I dropped Vital weapon so that won't be spammed when you absolutely NEED a Shelter. All he does now is use Shelter and interupt. Although I dropped Vital Weapon, I did keep a weapon spell with the NEW Rit healer.

2. Rit/Mes-Healer- This Hero provides way more healing power then the Necro and MOST importantly does not drop spirits around everywhere which slow him down and occasionally cause back agro. Also, he has interupts so make sure to set him to guard. The e-management is amazing as I think you will agree when running him. Lastly, his healing is incredible with Spirit Light Weapon and higher attribute points make your PwK more effective over a Necro.


3. I added Ice Imp to my build as my optional skill slot to help with balling groups around the EVaS. I typically bring a partner for fun or an alt account for extra drops and one of them typically brings LoD for hidden treasures. However, Ice Imp can be dropped for LoD if your doing this solo.

4. The rest of the builds have minor adjustments not really worth talking about except adding complicate on the Panic mesmer for more AoE interupts on Fendi.

This was playtested and averaged 6,7,14min floors with 7 hero's and no LoD with Ice Imp and Rit Healer. Out of 10 runs I died one time on Fendi because I chased after him and unflagged my hero's. No personal cons or summoning stones were used.

I hope this is my final update to this build and TYTY for all the support and positive feedback. Oh and like previous posts have stated: this does work very well in most dungeons. Good luck and happy FENDI hunting!!!

I will try and get this done during the week and have it uploaded as soon as I can.

However, and I have stated this numerous times on this thread, pm me in game and I will gladly take you on one of my runs.

Aha
Ok - thats possible
2nd floor I guess same
As minimum fights as possible
3rd floor - Fendi's room - I play with him in area not on bridge.
On bridge he has a bad habbit and wipes me often



Actually I dont have extra rit , so I am running with Necro using Weapon of Quickening an SoLS

Genius Was Revrac you sir are a legend!


Just done it with heroes 4.0 got to say love the ideas with the ST and the healer.
Just done 2 runs 1 with the full 4.0 set up was a decent 28mins
Run 2 was 28mins but instead of Mo/P RoJ/Fallback:Owkj4wQjJP+MUi1veS9dJ41dMA
I used your original idea of Roj shouter:Owki4wm84zQJ1TrP92HXj3xA
and to be honest with you the shouter; you have a lot more play with any foes that break aggro boom you have protection up with ST and the Shouter that makes any spikes from the enemy's easier to handle and that also takes pressure off the healer

I plan to go again asap to see if I can beat my time lol I'm now addicted to SoO


Great work this was 1 of my least favorite dungeons in the game

i read but i didn't see it posted i might have over looked it is ice imp really needed vampirism or even using boon of creation is better than ice imp due to the long casting time of ice imp and the little pay off it is. over boon of creation evas will even give you the health and energy bonus of boon of creation also

ok i was just wondering thanks for the input i wasnt really for sure cause when i went throwing down the sprits wasn't a problem but would be better maintained with boon of creation since your really using them as like a wall/body block and then just rethrow them back up easier when they die

I was lucky enough to come along with Genius Was Revrac last night for a run and it was great! He showed me where to flag the heroes and which groups I could avoid. Here's a screenshot of where to flag the heroes before the big room on the 2nd level - I had been having a lot of trouble there but this positioning really helped out!

Thanks again Revrac

how decent would this be running a sos from a monk? not sure how much the spawning makes a difference and runes

I tried it myself, and using a Mo/Rt is possible, however the lack of spawning power makes it very vulnerable, so I prefer taking a friend with me who can Rt/Any and SoS instead of using it myself. Adding another RoJ makes things go lulzboom even quicker.

VERSION 5.0

Hi everyone and I am really pleased to release version 5.0, which includes a new Rit bar for solo heroway, a new Rit bar for dual/partner way(Yes, I ditched the Ice Imp-wth was i thinking with a 3 sec cast), a new Panic bar including Deep Freeze, added rez's + shouts back to the monks, and added some additional tips on some alternate methods. All in all there was very little changes but I hope these little tweaks makes it a little more user friendly.

Once again feel free to critique the bars or if you have any questions please pm in game. Good luck Fendi hunting and I hope everyone gets a double q9 drop

Just wanted to say thx for this, I've been wanting to do SoO with heros for a long time now. I just want to add my 2 cents, I have found that the Mobs dont live long enough for the desturction spirit to have any effect. I tried going Rit/A and subed in Death Charge for the spirit, works great and its lots of fun. I target and use the Sin Support then shadow step in AR and LoD, Boom all dead.

would running sos from a para be decent enough? with my armor set and weapon set i got 65 energy.

Edit:just did it but had a problems getting fendi trapped in the jets. in the begining he wouldnt aggro to me so i just had to kill him strait up which took alot longer

Works great, have been taking a leecher for about a week now. Only problem I'm having is a pretty consistent wipe on Fendi by getting degen'd out. Shelter is always up, so damage is a moot point, but the constant degen just gets to be more than the healer can take. Even with the wipe the times are in the high 20's for the run, so not a big deal.

Even with the wipe the times are in the high 20's for the run, so not a big deal. The best thing for making Fendi 100% successful on the 1st try is to pull him correctly. I will be taking screenshots over the next week and will post the 2 favorite areas I have for pulling Fendi correctly. But I will try and explain it now: The safest and most effective area is on the bridge. Run into Fendi's room and flag hero's next to the first ground flame jet past the double flame jets. Set up your spirits halfway in front of the flagged hero's. Micro a shelter+Spirit Light Weapon on yourself and pull Fendi+the Archers into your spirits. As Fendi is about to die, run and flag your heros at top of the bridge. Your spirits will still be attacking Fendi after his soul spawns so summoning the spirits generally pulls his Soul towards the bridge. If not run forward and bow pull him the remainder of the way. Once Fendi is at the base of the bridge, you might need to reflag your heros back up the bridge. This will get Fendi to move onto the bridge. When this happens its GG.....run behind Fendi and summon your spirits+use a cheap summoning stone to help body block. Make sure to summon spirits on recharge and reposition them if needed.

Hope this helped somewhat and I will try and post some screenshots asap and as always, dont hesitate to pm in game. If I dont respond initally, keep trying because I might not have seen the 1st pm. Good luck and take care!!!

I have the guy bodyblocked already against the wall to the right of the bridge, but I suppose practice makes perfect.

I tried version 5.0 yesterday. I thought it is impossible to beat version 4.0 but version 5.0 is much better.
Thanks

I used to do this type of run on my rit too, only I would be playing as the Communing rit, and instead of using ST, I use Rit lord for 20 com 17 SP. As I have summon spirits and AoU, I just cast SS on recharge to keep up Shelter and Union.

The heroes are ROJ in the main, as the mobs are pre-balled up and I'm a communing rit, I bring Binding chains. Cast BC, then EVAS, heros ROJ and group is dead with no stragglers.

I pull fendi to the bridge also but I stand behind heroes and don't bother body blocking him, just cast Shelter/Union when their timers are about to end and spam summon spirits on recharge to keep them up.

I've never bothered timing any runs, with these times posted I will do so next time for comparison. Oh and I never got a BDS, but all the runs do indeed fund such a purchase.
