Say, could anyone explain why the Ranger has these 3 skills on his bar?

[Lacerate][Brambles][Predatory Season]

AFAIK, there's no bleeding or Knock Downs coming from the assassin runner or the ele hero and I think Predatory Season would actually make it harder on the monk hero to do it's job.

He had Meteor Shower on his Ele and it's more important to stop them from healing Thom

Its for the stone summit monks. If you pull to the wall and nuke right away the stone summit don't have time to aoe your heroes so your monk won't have much healing to do anyways.

didn't have any trouble with those
the only problem is thommis running back to the wall when he takes alot of damage and it can take abit of time before he comes back with me again to the wall
but no, spirits didn't hit me

Picuso · Aug 24, 2008, 04:53 PM // 16:53

There are spirits of disenchantment, but their attacks fail to hit, because of SF, so they can't strip it.

Slabby · Aug 24, 2008, 04:54 PM // 16:54

Done a run or 5-6, best I've seen was a Platinum Wand

leeky baby · Aug 24, 2008, 05:01 PM // 17:01

I hope prices drop

i dont care about prices now, espically after buying a stygian reaver before GWEN for 100k 100e when they first came out, now there about 10k >.<

Nightow · Aug 24, 2008, 05:06 PM // 17:06

Only other things that can kill you down there (besides lag, etc) are the Modniir's with Trample and [Death Nova]'ed Minions.

xxx wraith xxx · Aug 24, 2008, 06:20 PM // 18:20

i was wondering...wouldnt it speed up the run if you have 1 more guy on youre team with Spoil Victor? (you would probably need a friend or such to use this)

MrGuildBoi · Aug 24, 2008, 06:35 PM // 18:35

I think 5 ele's are enough

Azora · Aug 24, 2008, 06:46 PM // 18:46

done this like 10 times.. diamonds onyx and crap gold.. now my partner quited anyone need a perma or a ranger with the nukers and monks?

edit: ign Moon Reflex
or Azora san

Okay you MAY get a Voltaic Spear but the drop rate is way too low to make this as profitable as we all want.

must never attack thommis until this totally bodyblock.
Hull and if he does not return until their movements are walking, not running

a little practice is easy.

the rangers are also not come far enough away that solves the heroes in the video to me step

on the contrary, if someone were to adapt this to be a 8 man build that is even faster and has the same effectivity it would be gravy because that's 8 chances at a voltaic a-pooping out every fives min or so, see, i don't quite comprehend why it is that people are trying to do this with only three heroes and nothing more, it's completely unintelligent as you can only open the chest once and you' can't open it for your heroes, it's the loot from the chest many seek, and that loot is completely unaffected by the number of people in your party since it is from a chest. I can comprehend that pugs suck and a larger team means a longer grouping process but take into consideration this = if the rest of the team was all damage and cut down the run time to about 2-3mins wouldn't it be worth it? Why run heroes to make the pary for the ele 1 monk and ranger?

And as for those who say it'll get nerfed because it's an easy way at a free chest and free loot, no... there's been other things like this that still do exist without being nerfed to this very day, killroy runs in sorrows for example, although nowadays your crap purple crystalline will seldom sell for more than 30k, back in the day when the farm first struck and they were still worth, one dick, one ball, and yo first and second born, nothing was still done to it, nothing, and it has remained that way since.

Anet is starting to divert back to it's old skill>time motto, or so it seems with some of the recent buffs and updates and incintives to continue playing, so, why would a weapons drop rate be any different?

Yes it will destroy the weapons value for the hardcore players such as myself and a majority of the gwguru community, but it would be attractive to those that anet seeks to be their market = the casual player.
