Curse

I've recently been working on using two computers and two guild wars accounts to clear out places like FoW, UW and other such fun places. Not long ago I figured out my way through all FoW quests with just my dervish and my monk, no heroes, henchies or humans to help me out. Walked out with 24 shards, 2 sapphires, 25k from selling crap and a bunch of golds. Here is a picture of me next to the chest of Woe in a party of two.

Currently I'm working on UW, I've done 9 out of 10 quests with one build so far, but "the four horsemen" is giving me a hard time.

My question to you is, has anyone here done this too? And maybe some tips and tricks on the four horsemen quest?

Hax xD I Dual monitors with a good spec PC, not too hard... Or he could have more than one PC running... anyway, I don't know what to suggest really... nvm, pic loaded, nice removal of the skill bar

We can't suggest how we can hel pyou if we don't know what you are doing wrong...

The only way I can see this possible is via a bonder or something with the monk like that because you would have a hard time managing 2 characters like that, OR he is using macros to do the work for him (gasp)

furin · Jan 24, 2008, 07:51 PM // 19:51

No macro's or hacks were used here. All fair play. The monk is mostly a passive character though. Also, as for the "four hoursemen quest" problem, my problem is that they come in from two sides, and I can't gather them up on my dervish since they have more interest in the reaper then. I can't have my monk tank one side since she doesn't have the setup. Nor can I change my monk or dervish's elite to help defend the other side. I'm looking for strategies or non-elite skills that might defend one of the sides.

It's not that hard to use two monitors, you simply move your mouse from screen to screen... Or he could have an angry Korean kid tied up who he forces to play...

I can play two games at once (Laptop + Main PC) It's not that hard to micromanage both, you'd be surprised. I can SS+55 UW by myself, and do CoF runs by myself too, all it is for the tank is button mashing, can just look away while you do the dirty work on your other screen.

LOL youre theory seems more believable.. and realistic

2 man, thats pretty respectable.

Is your monk a bonder monk with life bond and life barrier? If so... try to life bond and life barrier the reaper. It is kind of hard to give suggestions when we don't know what you are working with. Skills plz or don't ask.

monk is bonder with serpent's quickness to rc Spell Breaker perhaps? And the derv is avy of bal with mega awesome dps?

eximiis · Jan 24, 2008, 08:32 PM // 20:32

Vow of silence ?? perhaps with the monk bonding the dervish.

AoB bars do not do awesome DPS. You are confused. I'd also like to see 1 derv solo kill 2 woh shadow monks (or 3.. or 2 stood together spamming heal area). My derv sure as hell couldn't do it. And yes, the monk is a bonder.

MagmaRed · Jan 24, 2008, 09:10 PM // 21:10

Scourge Healing perhaps, and Deep Wound would prevent healing from being as effective. I'm more concerned with how long this takes, as even groups with no healing will take a while to kill.

furin · Jan 24, 2008, 09:14 PM // 21:14

I can run this in about 4 hours. It's not fast, I'm just in for the challenge. The biggest problem in FoW however isn't the monks, it's the abbysals combined with mesmers

I'm not confused I am simply asking question. And if it takes 4 hours to do then I won't ever to do 2 man >.>

People already duo UW and FoW, so this isn't some game breaking farming build. And since it takes so long to clear FoW (roughly twice as long as an 8 man team), why so hush hush about the build?

You want help on completing the UW clear, but how can anyone help when they don't know what you are doing? Either post the builds, or ask a mod to close the thread and figure it out yourself.

furin · Jan 24, 2008, 09:43 PM // 21:43

So because this thread isn't going where you want it to, it should be closed? Interesting...

There was another question in my first post, has anyone done all the quests in uw or fow alone without heroes or hench? If there is I'd like some word on how you tackled "four horsemen".

I like the way you want other peoples info, without giving your own. It's just a tad rude to be asking for help with something, while not helping others / releasing info.

No, because it isn't going where you want it to. You ask for help, but don't give the people you are asking info to help you. Not many people have completed the 4 Horseman quest, and the only ones who have were human groups that I am aware of. 8 people, not 2.

Maybe you should read what Wiki has to say about the quest. The info on what monsters you face, where they come from, and what skills they use should be all you need.
