To all you people who say this is hard and you keep dying: fight your way to where High Priest Alkar is, then take him along with you, and clear all of Grenth's Footprint. He will CONSTANTLY heal you once your health drops by about 100-150 with heal other, and at no point should you die.

Don't attack the heteric , wait for ur Health to drop , GB on them n kill them , they should be under 50% health after 1st GB , dwarven battle stance rarely interrupt GB , it can only interrupt Healing Sig , if u want cover GB , use riposite

alright after getting used to it this is very easy now.
Heretics= not a problem just kill them first dont even need to grenth balance them

Doylak masters= not a problem either just make sure their is a carver or herder attacking you and spam your riptoses, they will heal the carvers and forget about themselves.

Yakslapper= tough cookie, almost had him. do the same with doylak masters kill everything around you but melee carvers and aggro some more carvers so you get 4+ on you. Grenth balance a few times then just spam riptoses. got him Very close to dying l-l health before he got away with a mark of protection on himself. It went downhill from their ><.

(Trying to find a video thingy, I only have 30 second fraps)

Just wanted to say thanks on such a great job lambda, I've tried it a few times, and finally made it into SF but got severely beat down

A few things to add, if you go the way of High Priest Alkar, there is a chance he will heal enemies, but it's not very often, and also, if your planning on going into SF you don't want to bring Alkar along with you.. The only quest you should be doing is Orozars, as much as I wanted to do FA

I would deffinitely recommend sword, because having your points in axe, and then having to switch to sword to do riposte is pretty annoying, plus when fighting war boss's you have a good chance of missing their heal sig with a disrupt

so, thanks again Lambda awesome build, makes me glad i've stuck with W/N this whole time

I might be able to help host to, it will be a filefront though, because my friend has fastpast. Just PM me if you need a place to host, I may be able to work something out.

Hey... First off, awesome build... took me a little bit to get used to but now i'm pretty good at it. I pretty much do oro run through GF.... So i don't go around clearing all the groups....I used your exact build for a while but I have changed a few things.... like Plague Touch... Seems like I always had bleeding on me from the Rangers, now I can hand it off too them..... I use the hex shield but my swords dmg mod is while health below 50%, still works great... can't find a sword pommel of Dwarfslaying however, still looking... Anyway here's my setup!



Oh and one question... where is this priest that heals you... I been doing it without but it would HELP ALOT for damn mesmers!

Hes called Dwarvern Prospecter or something like tat. Hes at the intersection where the land elvates down, y cant miss him.

And Plauge touch is perfect for grenth, i use that im my build ^^

I'm also having problems with the Ice Golems groups without the Prospector's healing. I have to keep switching around Grenth's Balance to find one with high health. I have to have a separate enemy to kill and several others to heal off of. When I run out, I can't heal. And of course there's the problem of energy and Grenth's Balance recharge. And then they're still around half HP after a Grenth's Balance. How do you do it?

Kill 3 groups and you can bring him with you through all of GF... killed everything in sight from portal to portal..... took forever.... and didn't have alot of lucks with drops, but clearing a whole section of the map like that still racks in the gold..

One thing... when going to SF, i was trying to do oro run... but the first group killed him... how do u keep oro alive or should a take a different quest?

Do it on the Gnashers, they use Life Siphon so they regen pretty fast, and when they have their bone Fiends up use GB on them too.
