Courtyard!? The whole tomb dont drop anything good, so what's for to reach courtyard in 3? The only point is to go to the end and get greens, and i dont think you can do it or the screenshot would be different...

easy build. its kinda like the 2 man UW run only that this time there is a 3rd healer around wich helps the 55 monk. 55 is the tank , mo/n is the healer , and necro is the ss.

i just completed 5 man.. it started as 6 but we did complete all the hard parts with just 5... that was quite easy and i know if we could be bothered we could do it 4 man with our build..
Necro and 2 monks for 3 man----now thats interesting

You do know what happens to monks that go up against Fingers of Chaos, right?

Or have I missed something?

You might 2 man this, though, it would take very long, 3 manning is probably most effective with indeed and Necro with SS. I think 1 of the Monks is a 55HP Monk with Spellbreaker, the other Monk also has Spellbreaker, and some other crap.

Apparently know one read what Avarre said: Fingers of Chaos > Monks. Fingers of Chaos makes their attacks remove enchantments from monks, so I highly doubt one of the monks is 55, unless they are using Amity.

Unless of course I'm missing the same thing Avarre is...

The only possibley way, imo, is to have the necro tank while the monks cast enchantments on the necro and help deal damage.

both monks probably have spell breaker as an elite and use the necro to pull...thats my guess. the description says 'removes enchantments from MONKS'...tested on my three man team setup and it will NOT remove enchants from necros :]

edit: just saw this and made me laugh:

Very nice. I must not fully understand how Crispy Chaos Fingers works. I would have thought that FoC being a stance would not be stopped by spell breaker.

Ok, so enchant the necro. But the critters should loose their curses if they hit a necro under FoC, so there goes your SS.

Unless there is no 55hp character and they just pumped healing into the Mo/W.

It is possible (I am not accusing anyone) that they had a 4th person who disconnected/quit right before the switchover to the courtyard.

I just think that if I made it that far I might show some damage being done or some baddies being killed, so I'm a bit sceptical.

LOL Racthoh "you dont have to block out Watchful Spirit" good times!

And to the OP if youre reading this, check your pms I am sure they are overflowing, but this one would interest you more especially for what you are doing here. As far as I can tell, this is not sno, jerrypants or homestar (or whatever his name is)

Not to mention that the "UW Dom" team had fissure armor, and jerrypants has a mohawk.

So, I could be wrong, but it unless they have different ID's here at GWG this is NOT them.

No, it was not the UW team. Our build will not work in Tombs due to Fingers of Chaos.

Well I knew once Rhoubhe posted that he didnt think it was the UW Dom team that I was owned

I have to say that was some nice attention to detail, and I never read a post that I didnt like by Rhoubhe, nor one that was inaccurate, but thanks for the confirmation there Homsar.

So I guess thats a compliment then Splatter, I thought you were the same team that owns the UW LOL!

i wanna see u do this without a healer, and i guessed that build. BTW me and my guildes tried many types of 3-4 man runs inclunding this one , and yes the way i mentioned worked just fine and fast. 4 man trapping is still funner.

Already posted, but Fingers of Chaos will make the hostiles lose hexes when striking the necro, so how would the Nec be able to tank while using Spiteful Spirit? And I doubt one of the monks could tank with a full healthbar (and no enchants), eviscerate hurts (reduction to healing from wound), and so does surge spike (no energy!). As well as the STORM of interrupts on your non-mesmer, non-resolvemantra'ed monks.

Sorry, but until I see a screenshot of you actually killing enemies (like Darknesses or Chaos Siege Wurms) and not one from the start of a zone (easily faked w/ leavers) I have difficulty believing the posted picture.

well we can all see your skillz you didnt press shift, not to be a naysayer but he could of had 8 ppl and 5ppl could of left at the end of the previous match and/or zone because when you reload it refreshes your paty list so ppl who left dont show up anymore

I also have difficulty believing this. Someone had to be taking the hits.. but if it was either of the necros, they'd be wasting their hexes, and if it was the Mo/W, he'd be losing enchantments... which are clearly being used... on the necro (Watchful Spirit), for some reason.

Typical strategy would have to be drop the Spiteful Spirit on a non-Fingering enemy so that it wouldn't get removed. Although the pop-ups still baffle me...

Well if THAT works, then I think you could deal with the renders. They pop up in the same spots and (i think) with the same frequency. You'd just have to be waiting for him and pound/interrupt him right away.

SV will keep creatures from using evicerate and and SB can be used to cancel other spells like Energy surge. The Mo/Ne probably has SS, so the necro can use SS 2-3 time and can use SV 2 times if necessary depending on creatures.

The mo/wa is most likely the tank most of the time and can switch between 55 and 105 builds. In areas where he will be interrupted, the other monk casts the heal and spirit from a safe distance. The mo/ne may also have blood ritual and can feed the necro endless energy while putting essense on the other monk as well as having blessed signet for more energy.

I made it into HoH (4th level) with just 3 rangers and 1 monk....although we died there when we accidentally agroed 2 groups.

ok...im sure that the 2 monks have SB, and they chain it . The 55 cast it on himself and serves as a tank or.....he uses echo/SB for longer resistance against hexes. The necro ofcourse is the dmg dealer and uses SS , and the other monk is healing.
