Default Abaddon's Gate Team set up help for solo hardmode

Mass Daze and interruption are messing me up

Looking for a full team build set up for Abbadon

Normal mode I have no issues with my build but Hardmode is a bit more annoying. I have 3 heroes to use and I am a Mesmer (I have only one rit since for some reason I can not get raz not sure why I can’t get the quest) but I have all other heroes. Hench choice would be helpful to.

Go /mo and bring 3 monk heroes

The only skills you should bring are Reversal of damage, and smiters boon, anything else is just for backup. Stand on the middle bridge and micro your heroes to put RoD on themselves. Everytime Abbadon uses word of madness, he'll take a small spike. You don't need to kill anything.

~4 min to kill abbadon. At least that's the way I did it a half year ago.

If you want to do it the "legit" way, Go AP caller with discord/arfken way (whatever your prefrence is) with the two monk heroes, other two can be w/e you prefer.

I just did this twice a few days ago to access the hero quests.

I solo'ed with my assassin, I brought a typical DB/MS build with sabway necros.

Henchman, I took the domination, fire, prot and healer.

In hindsight, the healing was a bit overdone, but as you said, i was scared for the mass daze.

Since you're a mesmer, you seriously need to bring some DPS to bring down Abbadon as quick as possible every time he's down. This also helps for the random Claws, unless you've brought a rupt for their skill. I'd suggest going as a support role, with some condition removal (maybe even Pure was Li Ming) and buffs for your heroes who could be 2 DPS builds, such as WotA or a decent Axe build.

Actually, if you bring Pure was Li Ming, you won't have to worry about daze.

SoS Hero with the Enchantment that removes a condition on all allies when a spirit is created. Also PwK & Rejuvenation. RoJ hero with some heals. Instability mesmer with wastrels worry.

SoS takes care of the daze, and the party damage from abaddon. RoJ shits all over the 3 spawns because of the morale boost getting you a quick recharge on RoJ. Wastrels worry ends in like 1.5 seconds on Abbaddon and so you get a TONNE of armor ignoring damage really quickly.

2 Monk Hench and the other 2 are watever except melee hench.

wastrels worry works great on Abaddon as well. the duration is reduced by half so you can pretty much just spam it

It's my experience that this isn't a tough mission. Abaddon and his minions have low damage output. You definitely want the her Rit (use SoS and give him Kaolai + Mend Body And Soul), definitely do not run a MM, run Mhenlo (don't need Lina) and bring as much damage henchmen / heroes as you can. With so many morale boosts, you can even afford to not run any Res Sigs on yourself and your heroes, and the henchmen will provide all the ressing you need.

If you still fail I'll help you out for free, we can be done in 5 minutes.

I like to bring a Paragon with Song of Purification and Fallback. Replace all your resurrection skills with SIGNETS.

You can't get the quest to pick up razah until after you kill abaddon with your current character.

Does he know where to get the quest? You take it from DoA, not Abaddon's Gate.

As for builds, the easiest way to finish this mission is to just roll daggers. Melee damage isnt affected by daze and you'll have a higher damage output anyways. Arguably wastrel's worry spam would work fine, but id still rather have daggers.

Take an Earth ele of have yourself or a hero go /e and bring Ward of Stability versus the knockdown. Take either a Paragon or a monk for mass condition removal. If you're brave, take a mo/e hero with Extinguish and GolE and micro their use.

This quest is easy even in HM. Just bring res sig.

If daze is giving you a problem, you can bring cautery signet, Pure was Li Ming, or Recovery.
