Ive tried various builds, but it seems almost impossible. But i rekon there has to be a way... seing as im very close to working it out.

The best way ive worked out is

Glipfh swiftnes, deadly para, SF. fridgid armor,

With either an interupt for his big attacks (disrupting stab), or regens to heal them up.

But the interups dont always work, and the regens leave me with no energy to deal out any dmg.

Maby theres a sin/mez build that can maintain energy, and degen him.

echo, deadly para, SF. then degens and energy management.

but im not all that familiar with mez builds.

Anyone know?

this is just a guess but if all his attacks deal fire damage you could use mantra of fire for energy and even if it is useless damage reduction

Actually, party size is best.

Get Pain inverter along with random skills.
Set all 1 hero for interupt, and the rest just damage output.

Kill the few destroyers in a straight line to the Great Destroyer. when fully healed back up, run to him and start attacking. Use PI; interupting him triggers his strongest aoe so he insta-gibs himself in 1 or 2 PI uses.

Thats the fastest way possible to do that mission. Only takes 2-5 minutes that way depending on the cooperation of those 2 melee destroyers that you need to lure away from the boss.

I have tried to solo this several times with many different set ups on my assassin. I could not do it. It may be possible but I got tired of wasting my time and just paid a monk to do it.

[Moebius Strike] [Death blossom] sin with [Critical defense]+[Critical Agility] and [way of perfection] might be able to?

Won't work if he is using Shadow Form. Mantras only give you energy when you take damage of the appropriate source (Fire for Mantra of Flame). Since he would be in Shadow Form to prevent damage, he won't be getting any energy from the Mantra.

Most Shadow Form users take Glyph of Lesser Energy for energy management. However, to be able to keep Frigid Armor up enough to be worth using, you won't have much attributes to put into another line for damage. Water Magic can easily provide some damage skills, but I'm not sure which would be useful.

The biggest concern would be the knockdowns from Lava Blast. Get knocked down when you need to recast Shadow Form and it is a quick end to the trip. Monk's who solo this use /Me for the Visages to keep him from using his skills.

I'm not saying it is impossible to solo it as anything but a Mo/Me or a Me/Mo, but I do not see how anything else can do it.

Visages only work if you take damage. Shadow Form prevents you from taking damage. Degen does work, as that is how most 55 Mo/Me kill him. However, an A/Me can't run 55, and Visages won't work with Shadow Form. A/Mo 55 might work I suppose, but you'd need some degen, and there isn't much from Sin to work with unless you invest heavily in an attribute.

If someone can complete A Time For Heroes solo with anything but a 55 Monk or Mesmer, I'll be impressed.
