You can't just perma it because the dwarf must also make it to the end. if you clear him a path, you can rush it

Yep. Take vast quantities of damage.

Taking a spell-proof tank of some sort helps. Although, I did hear that a VoS derv could clear the entire thing in HM with the right build, I'm not too sure on that.

H/H it in HM only takes 10mins to perma it wouldnt be too much faster....For 2 snowman summoners... random cc and or eggnog(spiked or reg) you'd be better off buying the party/sweet/drunk points imo.....but thats just me.

ok. i was just wondering because with a perma you can SC alot of things... but i did try that and i think i had about.. a minute less then a full clear from my H/H w/ me using searing flames, 2 mms, 1 healer hero, 2 henchmen healer, and a fire hench i got the 3k dwarven pts and the stuff at the end.. so really its not a speed clear. But it works ok.

I got around 16mins w/ my H/H.. but anyway i was just wondering on this because I really dont have any money since ive been hacked.. and this isnt a Q.Q i was just wondering because i would like to go for titles w/ little to no money.. so i was wondering if this is viable.. ty tho ^_^

Yeha 10mins was just a number thrown out there..most runs take bit longer although it can be done in 10. I mostly bring fire, fire, and more fire..but yeah if u need the dwarven rep I suggest being more cautious as not to lose bonuses.

Ive done it with me and wife ( me perma sin a her fire ele ) with 6 n/mo mm`s and tho excessive it was just for points an took us 17 mins.
Tbh its a bad way to farm the items - its possibly faster to farm items for xmas fest an trade them for items - thatswhat i tend to do.
Also if you do the above you`ll gain more xp and cash - snowmen lair i find bad for cash
( xp always usefull if you need plenty of skillpoints )

Take advantage of Wintersday coming up and start to farm the items that you can trade to special traders. look up last years collectors and find a reasonably easy spot to farm. That is the fastest way to get party points with no money.

You forget you get an xp reward when you hand quest in after doing dungeon
But 2.5k xp is a lot less xp than you`d get from clearing snowmen if anet kept it old way i think - tho i cud b wrong lol

lol how could u not get more exp then 2.5k when u kill around 170+ enemies in HM.. i mean they are about the same lvl of raptors and vaetirr adn they ea give around 238 or so exp a piece... so it would only take 10 out of the 170+ to get the same amount.. but yes.. it is kind of strange having a dungeon u get more exp from the quest reward then the dungeon itsself ;p

I have soloed the whole dungeon with a sliver armor perma, it does take some time though. Honestly though, you are better off doing a 4 man run, over a solo. Drops seem to be horrible when soloing things these days.

Its a classic AoE + EoE . Use a summon stone and you can do it in 12 mins with any ranged henches.
