Actually, the original 5 Man build used the Gear Trick, which has been disabled and no longer works at all. Since then, it's still possible, but not as easy to farm SF.

Standard build is a Warrior to hold aggro, a SS N/Me (preferably with Arcane Echo), a MM Necro, some form of AoE damage that won't scatter the mob (Ele or Barrage Ranger really), and a Monk Bonder/Healer.

I'd recomend asking in The Campfire forum here. Link - http://www.guildwarsguru.com/forum/f...splay.php?f=17

Oh man I used to Oro/Fa farm ALOT! I stayed up like 2 nights once! Whoa wont do that again but anyhowsss....Ive played bonder, healer, ss, mm down there. Not tank thou. Well they've changed the build since the nerf, and I haven't been down there since then. That Barrage ranger sounds good thou, perhapse I'll try it. Wahh...the value of those items though have gone down..not too sure if its worth it unless I get a 20/20 dragos.

Hi,

I think you are correct sir! This mission (The Deep) splits up the group into 3-man teams in the beginning, kind of hard to barrage in this case.

And like others I have had success with b/p groups in FoW and of course the Tombs. Haven't tried SF or Urgoz yet though.

In Urgoz you have huge mobs but from my experience you really need to have a couple of trappers as well or you will be ripped apart. But a modified B/P group of 12 would be something to think about:

5-B/P Rangers
2-Trappers
1-MM
1-SS
3-Monks

Just an example.
