This is kinda fun:



I know the greens aren't that great but I still love seeing them drop. I even got an ecto this time around. It really doesn't take all that long either:

The Underworld - 4 minutes
Scared Earth - 19 minutes
The Courtyard - 11 minutes
The Hall Of Heroes - 22 minutes

Finished it in just under an hour in NM with h/h.

Had some trouble getting the Darknesses down, but managed it by utilizing some guerrilla tactics on my R/Rt.



Fun to farm.

Just curious but how are you getting through it with hench and heroes? I've never really given a normal team build a chance I usually just perma as much as possible and use 3 heroes to take the rest while i tank on the assasin...

Getting rid of the Terrorwebs with them is always the toughest part. Especially since you can't control what targets your spirits attack.

Nothing special really. Brought 2 fire Elementalist heroes, a MM hero (with 3 interrupts on her bar), the 2 Zaishen healers and the 2 Zaishen warriors. With a Spirit Spammer its pretty easy. Put your spirits down and flag your h/h behind them. Pull groups into your spirits. Rinse and repeat.

Discordway, 2 Z-Eles, 2 Z-Healers. Rarely get a single death - except when I try to hurry ^_^

I just do this on rare occasions for a giggle - and to get the 2 greens I'm missing (shield + knife). Had another axe today just to disprove my theory even more.

^ Lol

I'm aiming to do this tonight on my assassin (no not as a perma, im actually gonna play the game YAY!). I'm gonna try to solo kill the Darknesses myself with the help of heroes on the way there of course, but see-ing that they are mesmers, does anyone have advice on any keys skills I should use.

Also I have full equipped discordway, sabway, and spiritway. So any advice, tips, or pointers would be appreciated.

Thanks.

Ah, but it is FUN though and there is little in the game that I can still call that!

You can guarantee though, that no matter what your profession, the drops you get will be for everyone else!!!



props Vader, 'tis fun olde chap!

BUT and it's a big BUT,

This maybe why the Live team and GW2 have bigger problems, like getting the crap drop code sorted (the drop code must be some of the most poorly written and performing code that I've ever had the misfortune to encounter).

Next run, different day..



Now I guess the odds on this are about the same as winning the lottery

The actual odds of this happening, assuming that the drop code uses an even distribution of probability and that the Darknesses only drop greenies (which they do not), are

1:5008 !!

The only Notorious Bob - don't accept pale imitations!
