Question about general hm pve stuff - Guild Wars Forums

Sife · Aug 18, 2009, 09:13 AM // 09:13

So right now i'm working on a paragon to get me through nf. I've never completed nf, and I figured a paragon would be a good place to start.

Anyways, on to my first question: DoA. How hard is it to do this on hm? Or it is generally done in nm?

Say clearing everything, which is better profit wise: FoW or DoA?

I have HM on EoTN, Factions, and Prophecies-Which would be the best to start vanq'ing at?
EDIT: For cash and fun mostly. Doing everything on nm is bore, and I really need to make some cash back after buying chaos gloves x_x

Also, can a paragon work in UW as it does in general PvE and FoW? I remember that in a guild I use to be, we cleared FoW HM with using an imbagon and it worked rather well.

I havent done it personally, but FoCway or w/e the DoA meta is atm, run in HM, some ppl do it with balanced teams on NM also afaik, or HM i rly dunno, tried to answer.

Say clearing everything, which is better profit wise: FoW or DoA?

Depends if your are lucky with the FoW chest imho, if u clear DoA u get gems, if u clear it 2-3 or 4 times, u get 1 armbrace atleast.

I have HM on EoTN, Factions, and Prophecies-Which would be the best to start vanq'ing at?

Imho, factions, least areas, well eotn has least but I prefer factions.

no idea bout the last question...

Regarding DoA, it takes some good team-setup and coordination, you can't expect to clear it, even normal mode, with heroes/henches, even if you're damn pro. PvX wiki has some builds for fast clearing DoA.
Moreover, as Slasher said, depends on the luck, you might get real lucky and get some good drops from fow, but, it's all about luck. When I decided to make a monk for fowsc, after 8-9 runs, RoJway gets nerfed for me.
Prophecies are long and boring vq's, with mobs scattered all around the map, and are probably the most annoying ones in this point of view. Eotn vq's are... hard, at least harder than the ones from the other chapters, and yea, start with factions.
Each class might have its part in fow or uw, it just depends on the team build, you just need to find a good team setup. Not all FoW and UW clears are speed clears.

vanquishing cantha is probably the easyest, since the areas are square and the mobs arent that spread outl...

VQ in propg is a pain in the ass.
the whole area around the granite citadel(drogs run area and more) is HARD long and lame.
factions is easier, you should start there

It seems that you can clear DoA with a Paragon+Warrior in NM (at least, the pictures show NM):

(I'm sure there are a lot of other threads like that though..)

Then there are speed clears team, but they don't require paragons (only assassins, mesmer, necros and monks).

However, you can clear DoA HM with a balanced human team, if you know what you are doing.

For UW and FoW, there are SCs, but again they don't require paragons. Again, with a good balanced team you can clear these places too. A paragon can probably fit into a balanced group as an imbagon.

I don't know what's more profitable though..someone who does SCs often maybe can answer..
