The only time I found any sort of "Difficulty" was during the second quest, mostly because Miku likes to call targets that have Guardian + Aegis on them and the Punishing Rangers spam their interrupts on recharge like a no-secondary Ranger in RA(which is sadly effective when there's only one target). Otherwise, it wasn't bad at all.

Died like a bitch three times in a row...

then I realized I was still in hard mode. Yeah, don't do it in HM unless you like the taste of dirt.

If you're really desperate just pop a conset, eat some red candy, buff your morale, buff your hp with birthday cakes + candy apple+yadayadayada.

Or... you could try some tactics. Let sin tank for you, she self rezzes after a number of time. Use one hit ko shots whenever appropiate, hit and run if you have to. Don't agro more than one group. Interrupt your opponent's skills like rezzes. You can rearrange you skill bar while your are in the zone and you can get the rupt binded to a key that is more comfortable for you. Spam the group damaging skill as much as you can. Switch out of the shitty unmodded bull or mod that shitty bow and remember you got flatbows for stationary casters, recurves for rupts, shortbows if you are confident in your survival, kiting, skills and longbow if you are really hesistant about dying and don't feel comfortable at getting close. Hornbow is decent for power spikes, which i find to be useful if you follow the sin's target.

Do you get better end rewards in HM?

Anyway, after doing the first mish 5 times in a row, it would be awful to put in a res.

It's already too much reward for too little work, IMO....

If we're going to make it even easier, you might as well give everyone an Oppressor weapon after the mission.

It's like asking for a hard ress skill in Tihark Orchard mission.

Lest121 · Nov 19, 2010, 07:13 AM // 07:13

I fail my first time haven't tried it again stuff like this can never hold my interest in this game, and since the 3rd quest is bug i will wait for every thing to be fix.

I'm sorry, but not everything in GW is about bringing OP skills and spamming them when they light up. These missions were designed so the player has to think about skill use and positioning. If you spam your skills on recharge and stand still while enemies beat on you, you will die. If you die, figure out why you died, then avoid it the next time.

Life Bringing · Nov 19, 2010, 07:29 AM // 07:29

This mission really doesnt need a rez shrine. My only complaint is that t doesnt lock on to Miku's target. That alone would make this mission much easier than it already is

Lichtenberg · Nov 19, 2010, 07:32 AM // 07:32

Also please make all enemy's use frenzy, that would be cool.
And if i could have a permanent Healing Hands on me.
Also, can the enemies be lvl 2?

I have no idea, never got any drops from the 1-2 kills I made before I croaked. They're just a lot tougher to kill, and do a lot more damage.

Also - consumables do work, but anything that boosts your health or energy don't. Rock candy is nice for the run and attack speed buffs, though.

I've never even actually tried the BMP solo quests (which I understand are similar in concept to the Keiran quests) but I aced Auspicious Beginning the first time I attempted it on my rit (the first char to try this quest chain) and I just now succeeded again, first attempt, on my warrior. As others have said, the key is to study your skill bars, use your advantages (especially interrupt, that massive-damage sniper shot and self-heal) and don't overaggro. I haven't done the 2nd quest yet but that's because I want to study other players' experiences a bit first instead of going in completely blind.

omg it comes again, they now know how anet reacts to crying so they wont stop now...

Ok so ... they killd the one challange, now there seems to be a other.
I have not checkt any of it yet due lack of time. But within one day
asking to kill a new challange ??????????

Men you must be one hell of a patient guy.

crazylady · Nov 19, 2010, 09:01 AM // 09:01

Personly i am the WORST when it comes to solos
But like the others have said if you read the skills dont over aggro (although even when i did that i still won!)

The skills are quite powerful and with all attributes set at 20 theres not much that can take him down ....or so i found.
And even if you do over aggro just run! The groups dont seem to be very sticky and break off pretty easily.

Just Sai · Nov 19, 2010, 09:11 AM // 09:11

gg nobody can leech this one
all that needs to has already been said here
read skill descriptions and use them accordingly

No, it's not. Keiran is a beast, and he slays dragons. Just read the skills.

They don't need to be simplified at all. I died once, near the start of the first quest. I just needed to get a feel for it and after that it was cake. Solo'd Rotcale and got his bow along the way.

(spam) There's not really much that can go wrong besides you not using your healing skill at all TBH.

There's actually a LOT that can go wrong. Miku could waste her hex on a worthless target, like a pet or minion, the hex could get removed before you can use your sniper shot, the target you just killed could get rezzed by "We Shall Return", and the shot can be interrupted (the Disrupting Accuracy Enforcers, and Punishing Shot Rangers are notorious for this).

If it helps, you can sneak by some of the patrols.

But, I know where the OP is coming from. I made it through ok, but it doesnt mean everyone will. I didnt care much for the bonus mission pack. And this is just like it. I honestly wish they didnt make this kind of content soloable. I would rather take a real party like the other WiK stiff and rescue thackery or whatever.
