Underworld Domination
sno
Just wanted to see what everyone can accomplish in the underworld. A guildie and I are working on 2maning the whole thing, and we're making considerable progress. As of now, we can 2man all of the labyrinth (including unwanted guest and escort of souls), all of ice wastes (including the ice king quest), all of the forgotten vale (including the spirits quest), all of the twin serpent mountains (haven't tried the quest yet, but we summoned the reaper) and we're working on ways to clear the chaos planes (which won't be hard now that we can do escort of souls with ease) and once that's done we'll head into the bone pits/spawning pools (haven't made it yet, too busy with our spider charming business.) Heres some of my interesting screenshots
UPDATE for those new to the thread: Underworld Domination is complete. We have successfully completed EVERY quest in the Underworld using only a team of 3 people.
I counted 11 drops, so I'm assuming there was only 11. one or more of them might have dropped nothing, but from the screen it looks like 11.
This is the ice king quest in the Ice Wastes (yep, lived again, as you can see. My partner got 2 rares and a glob in that group, hense the 'wtf')
Heres my current max with smites, 21 at once. 15 is my max with no dp. (yes, lived again )

Heres a shot from before we knew how to kill mindblades. Got to the planes, but didn't make it far

You are my personal hero
We can kill all the aatxes/coldfires/smites up until the behemoths..
As for quests.. well, ice king wasn't pretty.. escort havent tried yet, wrathful spirits at the village was very good with 3.. haven't tried it yet with 2 (spider run).. We can't get passed the behemoths and our inventory is filled anyway.. Any tips?

Clearing the ice wastes (including the first room) takes about 10 minutes, the labyrinth takes 5 minutes or so. From start to finish, a 'spider run' (including the labyrinth and forgotten vale) takes about 20-25 minutes. Behemoths are a bitch (easy to kill, but takes a long time, and theres a ton of them), getting to the top of the twin serpent mountains can take hours, and anything beyond that is 1h+ if you want to live.
Ajantis
That's pretty quick.. What skills is the necro using?
And suppose we make it passed, any special tactic about killing mindblades or just rush and hope SB recharges fast enough? Glasswalker
Bummer. When I read the thread title, I was expecting a Mesmer UW build.

Me/mo, 16 illusion, some healing, some prot :P
prot spirit healing breeze cry of frustration (or power spike) Illusionary weaponry (elite) balthazars spirit mending watchful spirit sympathetic visage <<<---- added later, forgot about it. it's painfully slow, hacking 1 aatxe to pieces at a time, but it works. make sure you have full energy, and prot spirit AND IW before aggro, so you can interupt the nightmare then hack it with IW. I aim to please Juicey Shake
I'd run the nec with shatter hex to get rid of the ignorance vs mindblades....
other than that a standard ss/sv nec.. mmmm.. derrtyboy69
Me and FCT Steve O can clear about the same amount of enemies, but the best way for us to make ecto is to kill smites and Bladed Aatxes, so we ussually odnt bother with this.

OMG how the friggin do people 1-2 man these things omg wow so sad!
Ajantis
Why is that sad? I get further with 2 then with a pug of 8
The pug state of today is pretty pathetic I'll ask the necro buddies if they know about a trick to kill those sno
If anyone is interested, I have started a monk academy, showing students how to do all of this
See the thread for more info: http://www.guildwarsguru.com/forum/s...ad.php?t=99701 xb0vv
Very nice, but what is your damage output? I see you your very well protected with ur 55build, but how do you cause the big dmg needed to kill attaxes e.t.c.
MoldyRiceFrenzy
man i just madea monk so that i can make a farming char ... this is gona be hard =(
sno
Went on our planned trip down to clear it, and did quite well. We started off with a ranger, but he neterr'd before we got to the behemoths. We pressed on with 3 people, and ... Well I'll just let the screenshots do the talking.
cleared the chaos planes first, this is the entrance to the spawning pools. Then we cleared the spawning pools. Then off to the bone pits. Then we cleared the bone pits. (the random red dots are constantly respawning monsters, that the necros use to make wells and horrors. Didn't make it to the quests, but that's next time. Sir Krohan

The necro can't have blessed aura, he's n/me. Blessed aura only works with spells you CAST, not spells cast on you.
Our 3man build is nearly bug free now, we have a couple tweaks we're going to do before we head back down, but it does work nearly flawlessly. (no, the necro does not bring mimicry) MrJerrypants
I run a very heavily modified SS/SV build. Of course no mimicry because without divine favor, that's 30 energy for about a 5 second SB. guess again

I could but its 3am so wait till tomorrow :P
Ajantis
Made it to chaos planes yesterday with 2..
Didn't last long however since we still had a nature renewal on us => no energy, and a shatter enchant from 1 dreamrider that wandered to far wasn't pretty Still, behemoths are easy, we'll try to clear them all next time.. No idea as to how to deal with mindblades though (didn't tried either, since we were eating chaos dirt..) edit: how about shatter hex, inspired hex? Homsar
Im the Tank. Period.
Gwen sno
We did it. EVERY quest in Underworld (except 4 horsemen, but that's next time. We misjudged a mindblade spawn and they ate up our reaper.)
sno sno sno That's it . Sorry about all the loading, but I hope it was worth it. Don't ask for the mo/me build, or the n/me build, because you won't get it. I will divulge exactly how my portion is run in my academy though. Ajantis
Suppose we ask it very politely?
maybe not the build, but will you tell us how you deal with the ice king quest? sno
Ice king is easy.
Step 1: I tank the dryders Step 2: The necro kills the dryders Step 3: receive reward. Homsar
Actually, if you read my earlier post, you will learn that I am the tank, not snow.
Gwen Ajantis
Sure, that signet of midnight must REALLY help out
sno
btw... does anyone know what happened to my purple/green screenshots? :O.. I've never seen that before, originally I thought it was inverted, but I tried inverting again and it came out even worse >.<

Woaah, please, let me be one of those Monks once. I can't find any teams at all, they only do short smite-only runs etc. I never get that far
