It has already been done by w/mo r/w e/w and mo/w, but how can it be done by me/w or n/w?? (ofcourse me/mo or n/mo are allowed as well,but I think you need balanced stance anyways )

For those of you who don't believe e/w has done it:




damnit these pictures are large if its too big plz say so mods, I will try to make them smaller...

mesmers can run a few very simple things, like infusion, with:

Balanced Stance
Illusion of Haste
Distortion
Illusion of Weakness
Healing Signet

Maybe some hex removal in the last slots for a drok run.. I've never tried

Nice job with ele, that's pretty awesome.

Avarre you are the one of the 55 mesmer right? I tried your stuff, its works for me, lets try this too

as for kinetic: I put it up before aggroing, then when it starts to flicker I cast aura of restoration (I still think I can use better stuff than aura of restoration) so u have about 17 sec of kinetic armor

My god, I can get nearly to dreadnaught's but every single time I try I run into 2-3 frost wyrms in the same spot, which is certain death when other mobs are around.

Using:

Charge
Balanced Stance
Hex Breaker
Inspired Hex
Distortion
Healing Signet
Illu of Weakness
Illu of Haste

I'll have to get lucky with a spawn..

Why is balanced stance seem so necessary . I've done it on my W/Mo when I grabbed bonetti by mistake and still made it to Drok.

So let see something other than warrior in primary or secondary making it .

So I see.

Soooo anyone going to finish with necro? You only have to deal with the no hex removal part, and you're good to go! AotL build ftw?

The only enchant removal is guiles. There is only one on the whole path. Just don't walk near crones, and let it drop if you have to pass a heretic at the end...

Elementalists have no hex removal/condition removal, but they can put up huge armor!

Necro's on the other hand...

I just had to make sure Avarre wasn't the only 1 who could do it on an Me/W, so i stole 'her' build and ran it myself

Something tells me my run didn't go quite as smoothly....

My 4th attempt, 1st got battered by a large group of grawl/seige golems near the end, 2nd i forgot they were all stances and cancelled Balanced Stance 3rd i went afk outside troll cave before the long circle of wurms and came back to find myself dead

Reached Dreadnoughts Drift, then had to run back in quickly as the group on the left nearly killed me.


Made it to Snake Dance, got killed by the 1st group in Dreadnoughts..... guild wars and its shitty collision detection...


Yup, i died AGAIN practically on the steps of Rankor. Another example of guild wars and its shitty collision detection.


Made it in the end though


A round of applause for me, completing the droks run on 30dp

Edit: Just for the hell of it (and because i havent been there yet) i ran to War Camp too.

0 hex removal..... theres pretty much no hope at all.

Edit: Furthest i got was the end of the 2nd wurm area where the path goes up the hill to the right.
Now im trying 55 N/Mo, just 1 slight problem.... i'm not paying 5k a piece for sup death, why the hell doesn't the server have any sup soul reaping!!!!

Without the worlds luckiest spawn you'll never get there with N/Mo. Without Balanced Stance and no speed boost getting past Wurms is too hard.

I've jokingly tried to run droks months and months ago. Avarre egged me on a bit to try to do it for real, so I'll be putting my creative effort into it as well, hopefully in the next few days.

I'm making sure i can do it with all profs.

Done it with, warrior, mesmer, necro and now the ele too. Ele is so incredibly easy.... Tundra Giants aren't even a problem.

Ranger and Monk to go, i've only half ran it with ranger. Joined in a race to the end once, pretty amusing, i beat the warriors everywhere but Lornars...

Necro is by far the hardest. To get through Lornars you need to place your Blood Renewals well to cover Demonic Flesh from the 2 Guiles and pray to god the Grawl aren't too close to the Seige Golems, i can handle 1 group, just not both together.

Why didn't these builds show up before the thread kicked us? I guess making threads to challenge stuff inspires creation... what's next to do?

Before this thread appeared i'd never even thought about bothering to run to droks on anything but Ranger and Warrior.
In comparison, ele was simple, necro was a pain in the ass.

I was tempted to become the only droks to reach droks with a Morale Boost though by killing Thul Boulderrain

I've been trying to run Elona Reach using the ele. Haven't managed it so far though (not gonna include bonus because if i can do the mission the bonus isn't any harder). I forgot that Mist Form only stops damage, not concussion shot

This is my only character that can run, so here's mine displaying a "Droknar's Forge" destination sign: (I've made over 10 successful runs with this in total, but each time will take several tries to make through lornars)



And I died to a bad spawn of tundra giants on snake dance... x_x I'm considered replacing charge with echo (to copy balanced stance) and that seems to give me better odds of surviving


And great job evilsod, looks like N/W is a lot harder than Me/W. Is he reliable enough to enter revenue service for this route? (tip runs counts too)
