Cleansing Zen Daijun HM trouble

This quest is driving me insane! I can barely get past the second Zunraa i blitzed through normal mode with no issues and can usually do the same in the hard modes... but I just can't seem to do it.

Does anyone have any build recommendations for this? I'm currently running:

W/Mo(me): Sever Artery, Gash, Hundred Blades, Brawling Headbutt, FGJ, Endure Pain, Pain Inverter and Rebirth

2x N/Mo: Discord, Putrid Bile, Bone Minions, Death Nova, Sig of Sorrows, masochism, protective spirit and aegis

N/Rt: Discord, sig of sorrows, mend body and soul, ghostmirror light, spirit light, protective was kaolai, life and flesh of my flesh

Rt/N: Sig of Spirits, painful bond, pain, shadowsong, bloodsong, agony, gaze from beyond, spirit siphon

Me/Rt: Panic, mistrust, unnatural sig, wastrel's worry, wastrel's demise, drain enchantment, waste not want not, flesh of my flesh


Any advice would be very much appreciated, I'm at my whits end....

Cut the Discord crap, take more spirits, Strength of Honor and a player build that's more capable of damage (Endure Pain, Rebirth and Pain Inverter are not conducive to killing as a Warrior).
The Wastrel's spells are just energy sinks for a Mesmer hero so cut them too.
Have Protective Spirit or a functional equivalent (or both).

How did you manage Rescue at Minister Cho's Estate HM? Or all the other quests? The requirements are very much the same.

^^^this, and maybe take save yourselves. forgot to say rez scrolls in case of emergency instead of a signet or hard rez use the free space for more damage.

minister cho's estate was the only one I did with people both normal and hard and I was tanking if I remember correctly, as for all the others i did using a spiritway build easy while I was set to tanking also,

Tbh I'd completely forgotten about save yourselves, only reason it isnt in the build(I havn't played any of this since WoC came out due to many things), might swap to a dragon slash or something then

In regards to the mesmer, it's usually backed up by an ineptitude mes as well to cause the wall of interrupting/damage dealing hexes.


SoS Rt and Rit Lord Resto rt with a SoGM N/Rt sound good for the spirit spammers?


Thanks for the help

For the SoS run:
SoS, Bloodsong, Splinter Weapon, Ancestor's Rage, Spirit Siphon, Strength of Honor, Mend Body and Soul, Protective Was Kaoli.
Then take either a SoGM Rit with offensive spirits or if you're lazy or really struggle take a ST Rit with Shelter and Displacement.

Rit Lord with Restoration is laughable for the task at hand.
