I can confirm that there is no Protector of the Emperor Title associated with beating the two missions. Do people actually read what other folks wrote, or just post in this thread to complain? *scratches head*

Okay, maybe it is time to give a pointer or two about these two missions which are not actually hard to start with but meh. First of, read up what you'll be facing:

http://gw.gamewikis.org/wiki/Fingers_of_Chaos

Easy enough. As you can also read it affects primary and secondary classes alike. So for the sake of the last left braincells in the community, don't go in there with a Warrior/Monk tanking or a Monk/Elementalist healing. It's quite sad but this monster skill forces you to change your secondary to mesmer unless you really, really have to go for another secondary.
With the introduction of faction, the skill was not updated to take Assassins and Ritualists into consideration, thus leaving these two classes an option as well.
This is not because going X/Me or X/A or X/Rit is something uberefficient or a powerful thing, it's simply Fingers of Chaos being tailored to counter you and every tiny inch of farming possibility.

You'll also be facing a rare but extremely powerful attack from a certain enemies near the rifts (nowhere else). This attack has a full 3 seconds activation time. Even if you're on drugs, lagging like hell and have a reaction time of 1 second, you will be able to just walk away from the enemy and not be damaged at all (the one enemy using this attack is stationary and can't follow you...)

During those mini missions, preventing damage is far superior to outhealing it. Period. If you rely on healing that damage you'll be having a much harder time than necessary. What will you be facing the most? Spellcasters. From my experience, a single Spellbreaker with good Aggromanagement is all the monk ever needs to cast. So pack your spellbreaker instead of your typical Word of Healing Staple Spell and a few heals and you're more than fine on the healing side.
Pack the rest into damage and you're done with this mini missions. Yes, they're that easy. Aggro properly, have a spellbreaker and a self reliant Warrior and you'll be suffering from yawning attacks all the time.

Beta vet? And you whine?

You mean vet as in pet's doctor?

Now, what do we get

Draikin · Jul 03, 2006, 10:54 AM // 10:54

75 orbs

Guildmaster Cain · Jul 03, 2006, 10:56 AM // 10:56

Im stuck while party forms to help guidies in Boreas, but is there anything special about this new mission? New reward or is it still 50 orbs? 40 enemies doesnt sound too hard, but I saw most are in groups of 4.. Anyone completed yet?

Chooby · Jul 03, 2006, 10:58 AM // 10:58

Well, at least the prize is getting higher, I hope another is added "Raid on Shing Jea Monastary" Maybe that random thing in the middle of town will be of use.... hmmm, or maybe that new green will come about.
