"The Last Day Dawns" with heroes? - Page 2 - Guild Wars Forums

Hmmm, well, Winter seemed to be helping against the Mark of Rodgort skills from the Charr and Sparks (nasty little critters!). But maybe it was my imagination. I'm usually mashing buttons so fast that I'm not really sure what is happening and what skills are really working.

All I know is that Adelbern and his priest survived (but not his warriors).

The elemental warding skills were probably the most notable difference from my previous failed attempts -- which included one run all the way from Yaks Bend with six guys (what a TOTAL waste of time that was!).

I sympathise, as I tried this one. But at least you didn't try the run from ToA! That was fun, 3h to run (well I wasn't really running, was I?) and then I hit a wall

I wish Anet would put a warning notice on these quests

I myself am a Ranger and have attempted Winter on my own bar, a nuker fire ele (as it becomes cold damage), a healer monk, and a tank, though could only survive the first Armageddon Lord and his pals.

By the way, has it been proven yet if cold damage harms titans more than fire, or is Winter just to nullify the fire damage and weaken it?

I ran all the way from ToA and hit no wall. I reached the quest just fine complete with +10 morale bonus and the health bonus from the shrine near by... then somehow aggro'd the fire imps from one of the static groups and wound up fighting two groups simultaneously. Should have just saved myself the three hours and slammed my nuts in a car door to simulate the fun factor

I've done this twice. Once the back way (which involves killing quite a few charr mobs) and once sabway. I'd suggest not bothering with ele nukers. If you have to take ele's go warder/support (like being an e/mo and taking over heal duties so you can take more damage heroes). Or air spike can work I guess. Use necros and warriors or thumpers (high armour makes all the caster mobs cry, and they are just about all casters). Evis->exec->crit on one titan at a time beats 30 damage to the whole mob. Also, a MM is nice to give more targets to keep them from focusing on your 4 man party or the king's group.

Ring of Fire Titans have bonus armor vs fire. Unfortunately, at the time of my previous post in this thread (#7), Winter had no effect on nullifying this, since it came into effect after the damage was calculated against their armor. I don't know whether this has been changed since then, so I can't comment on its usefulness now.

I'm pretty sure they also have less armor vs cold damage, but I can't remember.

Hah. I actually did try from ToA, but got fed up with that and gave up. But even from Yak's Bend it takes an awful long time, and your two extra guys are only lvl 12 or something (unless you opt for Hard Mode!

). It made me wish ANet would increase the Hero limit to 5 (or even 7) instead of the current 3.

sabs and pain inverter completely destroys everything in its way... use that.

Well, they used to be, but now, with the EotN skill, Pain Inverter (and Ursan Blessing, I suppose), they are easier.

Subway really works (i came with E/Me invoke lightning/arcane echo/mantra of flame and those 3 necros)

err just noticed this is a realllllly old thread that I've already posted in :/

+1 lol?

I had a lot of problems with the Titan quests until I tried Sabway. Using the three necro set-up was pretty much C-space all the way, except for the last one: The Titan Source - I think I wiped twice, but still managed to complete it.
