The punchout extravaganza. I have to pop cons just to beat nm, hm.. no weigh, umpossible.

Whirl E Vic · Dec 16, 2010, 01:34 PM // 13:34

Vloxen used to be hard.

Then I discovered Banishing strike + splinter weapon

Better Tip:
When you go down. Press 8 as fast as you can. (It is skill #8 isn't it?)

Pro Tip:
When you go down. Do BOTH.

You will find you're still getting back up even when you need 100+ energy to get back up.

Tip: When foruming, learn to recognize obvious sarcasm.

I can't imagine anyone actually having difficulty with Fronis, except for lag which seems to happen more there than anywhere else. Conspiracy?

Shards of Orr & Rragar's were the only two I could not H/H.

SoO is only hard because of the boss, the hench love to ball up and die to clamor of souls. Somehow when I flag them, as soon as the crewmen pop up, they all run together and die.

Rragar's only because of the jesus cannons.

I would put Selv from slaver's as the third hardest.

I've never really had a problem with Vloxxen.

I would have to say that shards of oar it is very difficult but it’s really a tossup between that and ooze pit, although I must say that I’m getting used to ooze pit now. but out of the two shard way more difficult at the end.

KotCR · Jul 15, 2011, 05:10 AM // 05:10

Shards of Orr, never had much problem with any of the others.
Probably because of the blindspam mostly though, considering I tend to play martial classes and use martial-based team builds (and even when I do play a caster, I tend to use a martial-ey based build).
Come prepared though and it's also pretty easy.

Though Vloxen can be a pain too if you are unlucky and the Stone Summit mobs keep beelining for your Frozen Soil, which they'll make quick work of if they do decide to focus it even when it's powered by a beefed up Spawning Power/Communing Rt.

I personally had no real problems with any of the dungeons. It's all about hero setup. For the ones people find hard...

Shard of Orr: Load Roj monks, bring a ST rit with a dedicated healer and its easy mode. Revracs 7 hero build can be used by all classes except warrior and can get you to the end chest in 30 minutes. If using a Warrior I would run imba and bring AS. Probably one of the hardest bosses in EoTN because of his minions. Trick is to body block Fendi and RoJ him to death. A ST rit will hold off the massive AoE damage.

Vloxen Excavations: Frozen Soil with some meta hero setups. Last Boss is a joke, kill his minions and never focus on the boss to damage him. I brought a RoJ monk with prot skills and wrecked him

Frostmaw Burrows: Wurm Bile? Inspired/Revealed Hex says hi. RoJ melts through the wurms. Last boss is a joke with a ST rit

Rragar's Menagerie: Meta builds can wreck this place. Hardest part is actually the 2 Flesheater bosses but they ball if dragged out of their cave so AoE shines. When it comes to the RoJers just be ready to flag your heroes immediately. Last boss is a joke, kill Rragar first then Hidesplitter.

Catacombs of Kathandrax: I didn't really have trouble with this one either. As wiki says equip melee weapons on all heroes and you then flag them within melee range of the flame djinn. I imagine the final boss is what people are having trouble with since 2 fire boulders circle around the room and his use of Savannah Heat and Liquid Flame along with fire shield and fire bomb. Pain Inverter will eat his health like no other spell and flagging heroes in the middle of the boulders paths will avoid instant deaths. Prot skills and an ST rit take care of fire shield and fire bomb.

To put it into one word... research. Research will make any dungeon easy.

for me it would be in order slavers,SoO,Vloxen and fronis. only reason i said fronis is my ping and i tend to lag during large mobs. >>

Kathandrax HM was hard form me at first, but then was comfortably doable with Ward Against Harm, Pain Inverter, and heroes with either mantra of flame or frigid armor. It takes ages though, but I managed to beat every level with morale boost on my party (got a little squished by the fire orbs at the end boss, but thankfully his health doesnt regenerate).

If you adjust your builds you can get through all of the dungeons on HM without too much difficulty.

This is true for any part of the game.

SoO was the only one in the OP's list that I remember seriously challenging me in HM with heroes.

October Jade · Jul 25, 2011, 02:42 AM // 02:42

There are only two spots where I can remember becoming overtly angry while playing.

The first is Fendi; the other is the huge groups of fleshreavers in Rragar's. I swear one of them had six or seven smiters and three ritualists. Couldn't even pull properly, they killed me so fast...

StormDragonZ · Jul 25, 2011, 04:42 AM // 04:42

It's hard to believe this thread came back from over eight months ago. Hell, this was a time 7 heroes didn't exist.

Maybe I should do an updated version?

garethporlest18 · Jul 25, 2011, 11:49 AM // 11:49

Rragar's wasn't that hard for me, even with that nephilim boss on the third level that usually kills me in NM. I dominated him when I did that on HM and the boss had nothing on me as well, I found it pretty easy.

SoO I've never tried with H/H but I'd suspect it was annoying. Same with Kathandrax, in NM it's just a bit long with H/H not hard really.

Vloxen is a pita, that mesmer boss wiped me 2 times I think. But I was able to wipe through after that for whatever reason.

Zaph · Jul 25, 2011, 12:57 PM // 12:57

Like many people stated in the posts above me;

Dungeons HM and NM are pretty easy if you know what you're doing, so; make good builds that could cope with what you encounter in that particular dungeon (i.e. Scourge Healing and KD's work good in Vloxen and Slavers, for those nasty Stone Summit groups, RoJ works good in CoF and SoO, ST hero rit is pretty much oblgiatory in overcrowded dungeons where you can't always safe-pull, and different groups are close to each other), before you get in, check wiki for what foes/skills u might encounter, and which route is fastest/safest, bring some self cons, or dp remove if needed, and (most important of all) don't overaggro in HM and flag heroes sometimes so you can pull safely!

Essence Snow · Jul 25, 2011, 01:35 PM // 13:35

Imo there are 2 sides to this question....With knowledge and without knowledge.

Without knowledge soo was a pain so was ooze pit tbh

With knowledge soo is cake walk and so is ooze pit

By the time most get to slavers they have an understanding on dungeons and thus not as challenging as they would be.

So in short....the hardest dunegons for me were the ones I started with.

Heh, I forgot about that. I did all those HM dungeons with H/H, I wonder how much easier they'll be now...
