Vanquishing Hidden City of Ahdashim - Need Advice
So right now I'm something like 28 or 29 areas through the 34 need for Elonian Vanquisher and I'm finally stuck. I keep getting spanked in the Hidden City of Ahdashim.
I have all heroes and all skills, I can set up any team build.
If you've Vanquished this area, what advice do you have that might help me? I took a six month break from GW and returned forgetting a lot about the skills so any advice you can provide would be greatly appreciated.

hmm i think i remember alot of roaring ethers and flame djinns being the biggest threat so a BHA/epidemic/FS ranger would be useful... i went as a EDA blind/SY derv to render the sapphire and diamond djinns useless.. everything else is pretty easy

I think the biggest threat are eathers and ruby djinns. For us winter did wonders in dealing with rubys and FS should cover eathers res possibilities. Indeed 3 monks there help a lot.

BHA ranger can take at most two ruby, if it's human, but some groups have up to three ruby djinns, so I'd recommend some sort of damage reduction skills. Extinguish can mitigate greatly the damage, if you can afford the cost and two copies.
Bringing FS is not required as Ethers only can use it on other Ethers, but it might be very useful for the boss group.

Not entirely true. Ethers are also there with groups of behemots. They do res behemots however they indeed do not res other elementals. I just read on wiki it is because the djins do not leave exploitable corpses.

For me,
R/A...cast PS on myself.
Using a longbow and tried to lure the Ruby Djinn first.
Do not run back to ur team straight away...wait in between ur group and the enemy as shown below.
X ------M-------G (Flagged)
X = Ruby Djinn / Mobs
M = Me
G = H/H (Flagged)
Kindly Adsorb every single Energy Surge/Searing Flame/ Energy Burn from the mobs. Dont worry as the monk and protection spirit will keep u alive.
When the Roaring Ether no longer casting energy drain spell....unflag your H/H and focus fire on the ruby djinn first then followed by the roaring ether.
can bring FS to shut down the roaring ether res sig but i m just to lazy, so need to kill them twice :S
p/s - if u run back straight to regroup with ur H/H....ur monk will suffer a lot of energy drained and will be unable to dish out healing after a while due to low mana.

If you can get another person with 3 heroes, being able to spread the whole party out and evade aoe makes it really easy. Otherwise I don't have anything to really add to the above. Last time I did it with myself as BHA, another human as monk, 1 curse necro hero, 1 channeling/restoration rit hero, 2 warrior hero's, 1 ele and 1 paragon hero whose builds I can't remember.

If it's just about getting the job done and not about the fastest runtime, then a perma-SF sin can farm the whole place. I've given a helping hand to allies on occasion.

Hidden city is annoying to vanquish make sure you bring a couple Powerstones for dp, have the quest Gift of the Djinn active so there are less enemies to fight and pull as much as you can. gl

Thank you, everyone, for the input. I thought I should provide an update. Thanks to the advice here, I completedmy Elona Vanquisher title last week.
Kudos to you and thanks!
