Well, many of you guys already got glint by now but..
With my newbie status (I work so not enough time

), it was my first time.. Excited!

Funny thing was that group was totally random too. Me and other two W/M just wanted to capture the skills so we start inviting whoever wanted to join us. Our necro level was 16 when we started. (though he leveld up while doing mission)

To people who only respect levels and leave group frequently because they think they're better.. IN YOUR FACE!

Damn right... just goes to show there is nothing wrong with a quickly made and random pick up group.

I found for PvE, the less time spend getting people for a group, the better the group seems to preform

That's a flipping large picture. could you send it in a thumbnail so we don't have to scroll it to get the full picture?

Congratz!

easy trick to beating glint...

stance war holding an egg, i know noone has ever thought of using one of these to exploit the fact monsters like attacking people holding things... ITS MADNESS

How to Kill Glint without really trying:

all you need is:

1 W/* with max tactics and stances
1 R/* or */R with distracting shot
1 Healer Hench or Human with healing seed and good spike heals (heal other and Divine Boon help a lot)
1 Protection Hench (Prot Spirit is a VERY good thing, guardian and Aegis help too at first*)

4 damage dealers who do not use the following:
swords, axes, hammers, bows (caster henchies work well here)

Rules of the game:

1. Have the warrior gear tank with the egg (and no one else) without self enchants (so leave the mending at home or don't bother recasting it when you lose it, and you WILL lose it) cycling thru stances that do not require shields or weapons (shield stance is out, but I find disciplined stance helps a bit)
SPAM heal sig (the monks will need all the help they can get especially at the end) at lvl 13 tactics it gives 137 hp every 6 seconds (2 casting 4 recharge)
Since the monks hopefully saved your suicidal skin with protective spirit, the -40 armor doesn't do much.

2. Have the monks cast protective spirit and heal frequently so you don't die.

3. Have the ranger sit back, relax and NOT SHOOT while waiting for Crystal Hibernation. Not shooting is important, as those shots DO count for triggering Jagged Crystal Skin. Speaking of Jagged Crystal Skin, this skill is the EXACT reason hammers, axes, swords, and bows are not allowed, as each one deals 100 damage to everyone near Glint (namely the gear tank).

Important note: even though a mesmer could potentially use leech signet, or a warrior could use an interrupt... the only ones that interrupt AND tack on a 20 second recharge is disrupting chop and distracting shot. Since disrupting chop requires 6 adrenaline to use... it's a no go. Distracting shot on the other hand is an on call interrupt.

4. Have the non bow/melee damage dealers use degen and spells to their hearts desire

Moment of truth: When Glint is around 1/4 to 1/5 hp left, she becomes VERY NASTY. She'll use a hex (I forget the name) that removes and prevents enchantments from being cast on the tank, and snares it too. This is obviously EXTREMELY dangerous for the poor tank, as protective spirit goes bye-bye. So, mesmers out there would do well to interrupt it (or the ranger might too, not too sure on the cast time) otherwise the monks have got to really hunker down and lay on the non enchant heals full blast. a few moments later (hopefully) you'll all be extremely excited and pleased as Glint will lay dead at your feet.

Extra Notes: theoretically this could be done with just 5 ppl, (the tank, the distractor, the healer, the protector, and the damage dealer) but the 3 left over slots can be used for warriors who sit on the bench, or other damage dealers. Just make sure to leave Stefan, Little Thom, and Reyna at home, as they will attack Glint until they all die.
