I just beat it, right now, barely.... and yes. 60% dp.

1 MM (me), 1 SS, 1 Dom Mesmer, 2 Stance Tanks, 1 Stance Derv, 1 Prot Monk, 1 Heal Monk.

This was a fun quest with Sliver Armor and Shadow Form, lol

Ya, did this mission, but not on purpose, was mapping and in they came...I was not pleased.

I thought the first masters quest in torment was more of a surprise though (as we didn't know it was a quest when we were doing it and though that was what all of torment was like...ya. Got some wtfs from our monk when he saw the waves come in).

godbaal · Nov 17, 2006, 09:14 AM // 09:14

completed it yesterday with a party leader that didn't have the quest.
1* the quest dude stays at his spawn point (no idea if he may die but there he wont).
2* its best to assault 1..2 of the groups attacking the horde. Let the centair horde get slaytered. this way u only fight 1 or 2 margonite groups. every time u kill a group a new one spawns for like 5x.
3* after killing these respawning groups return to the quest location where u fight the last 2..3 groups.
4* after all groups are death one final group + boss arrives.

fighting them all at the same time is insane imo....

I remember doing this quest last week, most of which was at -60% DP. I had used the strategy of meeting the attack first (on left flank) and rolling up to next group. I returned to finish off remaing margonites hovering around the carcasses of our centaur pals. Feeling pretty good, I mistakenly thought that was the end of it, then shortly thereafter got spanked. Repeatedly. I refused to give up, even if my blood pressure was quickly reaching dangerous levels!

This was 1 of 3 quests I say should have a medical warning attached prior to accepting...."WARNING! IF YOU HAVE BEEN DIAGNOSED WITH HEART PROBLEMS, HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE OR HAVE A NASTY TEMPER, PROCEED WITH CAUTION!"

I don't think my henchies will ever forgive me for all the names and abuse I piled on them during that battle.

I tried this one yesterday on my way to the wurm ride. I used heroes and henchies and didnt really have much problem as they I was usually able to finish one wave before the next one broke. About the six wave I noticed that a group was hung up over by the rez shrine. After watching them for a couple of rushes, finally went over and wiped them out. And then I waited. and waited. and waited. Nothing. Chatted with Mizrah and remaining centaurs. Nothing. Finally after running around area, clicking on everything, gave up hope of anymore spawn and finishing the quest. Bummer.

I tried this again after finding an awesome Paragon build. I kicked this quest's arse! All because of a tiny switch in builds.

If Mazrin dies, no big deal. Once the quest is over, you can zone out and zone back in to speak with her.

ramma77 · Nov 22, 2006, 12:54 PM // 12:54

well i was out and about with 3 heroes i don't usually use the mes, assassin and ele. i only had them as i was levelling their pets. so i did all the quests then accepted the batttle quest.

JEBUS CRIPES!!! i id it eventually. 60dp woooooooo. been a long time since i had that.

next time i'm going with a guildie and i'm going to open a whole crate of whoopass. i'm talking MM, wells of suffering rotting flesh, SS, suffering, ulcerous lungs, poison and deep wounds. wooooooow

Cherno · Nov 23, 2006, 05:00 PM // 17:00

I didn't think Margonites had exploitable corpses? When I was out there with a guildie and we had Olias set to MM, he wasn't raising minions once new margonites died.

ramma77 · Nov 23, 2006, 05:13 PM // 17:13

yup they do. maybe he was bugged or something or he might have been AFK

OlMurraniKasale · Nov 30, 2006, 04:53 AM // 04:53

There are definitely Masters missions, and then there are very poor attempts - they all need tweaked (or at least the individual designers involved to get together so they ALL have the same idea as to what difficulty means).

I spent maybe 5 minutes in the Temple of the Monolith which is a Masters level mission. That's difficult? You're in wurms!

Then I spent 3 hours trying to do a simple mission from Joko to kill 6 groups of rampaging undead. I couldn't get past the normal mobs! It wasn't a Masters level mission.

In another Master level mission, they put two rez shrines in overlap, but the path to get into those ravines is convuluted. If you die in a majority of the area, you end up 1/2 way across the map. That's not what a Masters level mission should be like - that's just bad rez shrine boundaries/design.

All of these missions are sad because they don't all manage to be the same level. ANet definitely needs to rethink some of these.

Go there with wildly clicking party-members and it becomes a place to farm deaths

Laenavesse · Nov 30, 2006, 08:31 AM // 08:31

I just did this awful thing >_> But I think it was more because of the type of margonites that were in the mobs. In each group there were clerics, seers, executioners, and reapers. In previous attempts there had been all of those plus warlocks or sorcerers...though I could have been mistaken.

and I henched it with all that evil 60 dp x_x and on a sin with a build i just concocted that helped for killing the stupid clerics when they kept healing each other and just needed to get that last hit in (Yay Moebius :D)

This is what I had in my crazy group:

- me, the poor bored little sin with nothing else to do o_o
- 3 monks (tahl as prot and the two henches)
- Zhed as fire nuker (Meteor Shower first for each run back to the mob)
- Cynn the fire nuker (her fire storm helps spread them apart, especially when the reapers multi-Mystic Sandstorm together)
- Olias as MM with Fleshie (though he's crappy, he pops up the minions fast). I had him with putrid explosion but I really should have tried with Death Nova. Oh well it was more of a half-hearted try when I did this.
- Devona as my tanker

>_> Don't know how long it took, but I was definitely at 60 dp after the second wave (I managed to live through the first individual groups :D and most of the rest of the first wave).

Another problem I had with this thing was that the single group kept switching sometimes. Sometimes they'll have 2 that go to the right, and sometimes it's the opposite. This threw me off the first couple of tries cos I would go to the left and then there would be 2 mobs. Then I would go to the right and the 2 mobs would be there o_O I was like "wtf o_O"

but yeah I'm happy x_x

rezabm · Nov 30, 2006, 07:07 PM // 19:07

This quest is definitely one of the more difficult but I suggest to include clause "Mirza Veldrunner must survive" into the quest description to be really worthy of master status

Wei Yan · Nov 30, 2006, 08:16 PM // 20:16

Didn't have too much problems with it, did get wiped twice though ^^ But meteor shower+balled up margonites= gg

you know what? I think I'm gonna try this. Well, add in death's charge and return. Just flag the hench off the aggro range, charge in with the armour and the form and then just return to let things recharge. Let them kill themselves for me.

Oh, and Gaze. Can smack them in the face with Lightbringers Gaze every now and then.

If that fails, I suppose I'll just try to pug it or something.

Wansanchez · Dec 05, 2006, 10:16 AM // 10:16

just did it with no deaths at all and my second mm was caster only as i didn't have any spare weapons for him.thought it was an other easy master quest myself.hope torment has harder quests as i'm off there now.
