I just H/H'd NM slavers' exile today. I haven't even been in there since EoTN initially released and I got my butt completely stomped in the first rooms of any of the levels I tried. Luckily this time it was much more straightforward than I thought, I just had to be patient with pulls, with a lot of running away and back.

I think vanquishing all of EoTN, especially the Charr areas, which I ran repeatedly with various builds until the zones were a cinch, was good practice. Also vanquished Factions and Nightfall in the mean time. Overall I played around with so many builds and got a good feel for what works for my playstyle.

These days I carry Finish Him! and Brawling Headbutt as part of my warrior's build, which I wasn't using at the time in 2007, and those are great for locking down and taking out any target real fast.

I think my toughest solo H/H would probably have been Slaver's (+ Duncan) on NM. I have finished FoW and (I think, at the least it can be done) UW with a 2-man H/H (technically only heroes) build; toughest so far would probably have been Kathandrax hard mode (we weren't using consumables either...).

Currently working on DoA (NM, not quite game for HM) with a 2-3 man build. It does seem to be working, although Foundry gave us a few hiccups because you can pretty easily get in over your head there.

I can do with them anything but Eternal Grove. Eternal Grove is a pain.

Surprisingly, Gate of Madness was actually easier with H/H than with players. Went in there to kill the Lich, retrated to recover, then when in to clear the shrines, then retrat again, flag in the point them makes Shiro come and leave just before he starts attacking again and again and killed him slowly without loses in our side.

Some things are faster, but the hardest ones are slower.

Just the same tactic I use.

I can't do Eternal Grove either. I also have problems with the Thirsty River bonus, Divinity Coast bonus, Ruins Of Morah and the factions 2-team missions on HM. They really bug me >.< They're the only reasons I don't have Guardian!!!

I managed to do most of Factions, Nf, Nightfall and EOTN with H/H. The best one was Gate of madness, although I killed Shiro first while Devona and another hench took all the damage. It was quite interesting really but I was so proud of myself afterwards considering how hard everyone made it out to be.

ToPK when we first got heroes is my most memorable, although I've done some toughies in HM since then.

I did everything with H/H, I think it has to be killing either one of these Cyndr the Mountain Heart, Kormab, Burning Heart (vanquishing resplendent markum i think, can't remember) or that other elementalist boss, in the dungeon with the rolling fire ball. no consumables, cos i don't have any lolol. Haven't done the rest, maybe i should complete it....

Thunderhead keep with henchmen only.

More recently, Urgoz or Eternal Grove HM

When Guild Wars was new, the players were so bad with the game that I got fed up and simply henched the mission + bonus in Hell's Precipice myself.

I was running a crazy split of heal, prot, and smiting on my monk because there were no "wiki builds". Boon Prot monking hadn't even started to be used yet. To show you how new the game was, I brought a Signet of Capture because I didn't know if there were any monk bosses, effectively meaning that I wasted a skill slot since there aren't any.

So with no flagging, no PvE skills, no heroes, no consumables, crappy Prophecies skills, and an unusable skill on my bar, I got mission, bonus, and a 10% Morale Boost when it played the final video. I still consider this one of my greatest accomplishments ever no matter what anybody says.

And bad Henchmen AI even. Been there, done that. Surprising how easy it seems nowadays ^^

HM Catacombs of Kathandrax back then when he was still healing himself. Trying to drop his bombs from 3 heroes and myself and keeping attacking. I thought I would never made it.
