So, gw guru guys, you know, players of the game, whats the scoop, sudden influx of the ol froggy scepters, anyone care to share the build?

I had one person kinda tell me how he was doing it, a perma and three heroes in like a half hour, but wouldn't give me the builds, and bogroots got bats, so i don't know how, would someone else be so kind?

If you'd prefer not to discuss it here due to economic reasons i can completely understand this and am ok with a pm =P

I don't wish to overfarm them, i do not wish to cut in on the market, just simply farm meself a wand for me new mes i just remade, thanks so much to those that are willing to help =P

My guess would be the sudden rise in voltaic spear farming. There should be a guide in the farming section.

Oh my. Then what is up with the sudden influx of froggy scepters. A similar farm perhaps?

My guess would be the perma runs through the first level, since there are no bats on that level. On the second level, the perma clears a path (read: takes aggro) for the group to get past the first section (the water). After that, the group proceeds to take out all bats in the path. The perma takes aggro when there are no bats around.

A group from my alliance did that, and cleared it in about 40 minutes, even with several screwups. Of course, that was a party of 8 and only 2 heroes were used (monks).

The Frog Scepter is only in Bogroots, I would like to know how to do a fast run too, as I need to do that dungeon for my HM book.

As for the Incubi in the mission, they are only on lvl 2, so I assume that he memorized where the Incubi are and simply flags his heroes to combat them, while he takes care of everything else. Or something like that.

Edit: Senrath has how to do it down, now we need to get those builds >.>

I do it sometimes with my alliance using a few splinter barragers, an earthshaker and dervs or whatever, we do runs on hm in around 30 mins.

It's not a hard dungeon btw.

Is it possible that they are ghost running past the Bats?

nothing in this game is hard, lol,just, the appropriate build makes things faster, i'd just like to quick run with heroes in hm, whereas with a balance it takes 45mins in hm with heroes.

Good try but no.

Ghost run is possible on 1st level but on 2nd level the spawn is abundant (due to players causing the spawns to trigger) upon entry so a Ghost Run doesnt work.

i guarantee you can ghost run the 2nd floor, i do it all the time, try it before you start shooting it down, just throw a few healing/prot on your monk and your fine, you just need to survive initial aggro, then UA over by the huge room with patriach is, kill him, open lock, then die and Ghost run to Boss Chamber and UA again

Edit: fixed my horrible spelling

I tried 600/smite bogroot but I just couldn't make it.. it's a bit hard.. There are monks and incubus. Plus the frog warriors can disrupt you and mantra of resolve ends because of the -9's ;p.

meh I dunno..

well ill let the secret out since the farm was nerfed, you perma run to bogroot and perma run the 1st floor. 2nd floor you die and let a hero w/ healing breeze, mending touch, Spirit Bond, Shielding Hands and UA ghost run you to the spot where the patriach with the boss key spawns. Make everyone die. Rez them at the spot. Kill Patriach and get boss key. Have everyone die. Perma run to Beacon outside of Boss Room and die on beacon and everyone willl rez there. There is boss. Buiilds are easy, perma runs perma shadow and sliver, EBSoH and Ural's hammer. Bring along a Me/N with Spoil victor and Empathy. They can take care of anything sliver doesnt hit.

Just open Paint and use a black paintbrush
Or open Photoshop and do the same thing

But if you're going to black out all the professions, and probably the skills, why even post it? It's just going to piss everyone off and all we'll know that somehow, it's doable.

Just post it w/o blacking out the professions
