You still have a MM and SoS, which is all you need for a vanquish like MQ. You can tell by your 2 monk heroes energy that there was little to no damage to your heroes, everything was just being soaked up by minions. Not forgetting your Bsurge hero...

Take out your nec, rit and ele, replace them with a sin, derv and warrior

Only managed NM, sadly. HM is probably doable with cons, which means this build is sufficiently powerful for most players.

Quoted for truth. =)

Also - I always felt that optimizing our heroes was more for efficiency than for mere completion(with the exception of certain end-game content) so that we can VQ and what have you easier and faster... just because you can VQ an area doesn't mean you shouldn't try to improve upon your speed and effectiveness.

From now on the standard for build efficiency should be successful completion of DoA nm

fair?

edit: and due to time constraints, lets make it this way:

Successful completion of "To the rescue" (cave)
Successful completion of foundry
Successful completion of City in ~20-25 min

No because DoA doesn't equal general pve. Usually you need a bit different aproach for it.

This thread was an argument against the people who claim their own build is good because it has done several VQ's easily.

This is where the argument for efficiency of builds come in; the thread was for the reason I listed above yours.

DoA doesn't test the efficiency of a build - you don't need the same elements in the DoA that you need in a normal VQ.

You summed it up pretty good there mate. This is another one of those topics that ain't going nowhere because no one can agree on a clear cut answer. We're all trying to shoot each other down in hopes that after all the mess is cleared up we're the last one left standing. I'm right and you're wrong. If you attempt to disprove me I have an army full of semantics, theorycrafts and an uncanny ability to twist the english language around in my favor.
