minion factory > thunderhead keep
Fred Kiwi
So I was one of the many that couldn't be bothered to do thk normally, so I thought, why not use mf? You get much more time to do it than in tombs, and the last bit is very suitiable.
It was very difficult to get the correct team together (it was very helpful that I had a mesmer and necro guildie friends) but it was brilliant in the end. Here are a few screens of it:
So in conclusion: minion factory > pve
walls > minions
thought I'd share this thought with those who are stuck
ps. I was only using bip and veratas from that build

Good job...but you forgot to white-out Sad's name...
Who cares if it's overkill, there are a million ways to play this game...do it however you want.

The way I think of it.

MF is overkill, just run a plain MM and you can mow the lawn.
A decent MM can solo THK.

a mm can solo thk?
crack is wack, first off you have to exploit a dead body to raise your summons, what are you gonna do wand/disease/deadly swarm the dwarves before they utterly steamroll your soft armored self? not to mention towards the end you cant exploit dead mursaat armors and bows and fiends are not infused
solo THK with mm i think not

Don't forget you get the King's Guards right at the beginning. So you either start off with dwarf-sized minions or giant-herder-sized. Friends/foes? All the same to a MM.
To the OP: sounds like a lot of fun. Now do ring of fire >: )

Has anybody tried MF in the new tombs? I think it would work

Pretty neat stuff. For future reference though, if you really want to make sure people's names aren't shown, be sure to wipe out names in the chat window as well. You can make out 5 other people's names from the drop announcements, chat (sad) and the one character that is targeted (green name is showing). So, we know everyone's name except 2 (assuming its an 8 person party).

I'll try it when a guildie wants it though.

Yeah, I think I'd hafta agree.

Generally when I run THK for people, I take my MM and 1 saccer (usually the one who's being run.) As soon as he's down past 0hp, he'll die over and over and the hench monks will res him over and over. It's enough to raise a pretty intimidating army, and once you get going the mursaat don't live long enough to cast spectral, which is the only thing that can get you down.
You only need the saccer to be there for the siege, I usually have him hang back at the start with the king till we need him to open the gate.
Full MF is totally overkill though :P

I beat THK last night thanks to a huge minion army. It wasn't you in the group but I will agree... I played as a mesmer so I was shutting down all the skills I could, the warriors and minion army went nuts on EVRERYTHING. monks kept us all alive. We kicked so much ass. Necros with minion armies rule.

Just camp the king, and BotM/HA often.
The ONLY thing you can't raise bodies from are the Jades, but there arent that many Jades. Many Mursaat/White Mantle/Dwarves.
It's definately do-able.

I found that with the henchies just so much easier, then with regular people who want to wander off or argue about who's doing or not doing what.
maybe it was just luck on my part but luck non the less..a mf hell if it got the job done then props to you..

I'll give you this, maybe you're running low on sleep or something. Hence, the informative post as opposed to just ignoring your comment.
Anyways, to Kiwi: I hope that previous post helps a bit.
EDIT: Sorry, I realized later I didn't want to be that abrasive, so I removed 'useless' from between 'your' and 'comment' on my next to last statement.

You've forgotten the last part!
I too did THK as MM and I ruled for the most time until....
Well you kill the Elementalist Boss and then have to wait a fair amount of time between mursaat charges...so even with your best MM tactics, Minions still degen and die. And not all murssaat are exploitable, so...

I was one of the rezmers in Kiwi's team, its always hard as a dedicated mesmer to find a PUG. But with our guild enthosiastic Kiwi we did thunderhead as a minion factory and it was a walk in the park. His screenshots dont do right to the chaos created at the top of the stairs. Never had so much fun at thunderheads.

If you do MM in a group for THK, make sure you tell everyone to skip the moviescenes...
Mavrik
yeah the group I was in had a minion master. We had a great army of them. We all agreed to skip the cutscene. Those who had not seen it could just come back for it lol.
Lord Iowerth
MF would be interesting for THK, that's for sure ... whenever i'm helping someone with it on my necro, I always found that using wells (Suffering, power, blood) work wonders for the tight groups of enemies throughout 90% of the mission ... I agree with some other posters that it would be hard to sustain minions/make new ones at the siege, but a MF would eliminate that problem. I'll have to try that next time i'm helping someone with that mission

On the other hand, I can understand the blanking out of skills if you have a build that you don't necessarily want to give out (which in this case doesn't apply). But names? Who cares!

As far as harsh, the quoting ability should also list times the original was posted. Then, we could reflect better what state of mind the poster was in (when was it I posted? 2am lol maybe a non-quotable period between 0130 and 0430 :-)..
