Ok, Not too long ago i decided i wanted to do all the missions in hard mode, and then start conquering etc. so off i set doing missions and failing and sometimes prevailing with the whole hardmode build with the 3 necros. but a lot of missions i completely fail at and just find too damn hard
but a few weeks ago, i came across a guild member who has done everything in the game, a few times over, and runs people through hard mode missions for money. he basically uses 3 ranger heroes with pets and himself as a ranger with a pet, the speed he runs through the game is amazing, he took me through raisu palace HM and walked through it getting us masters in the quickest time ive ever seen, quicker than ive ever done in normal mode with any group of people. the problem is he doesnt tell anyone the build, its his secret, and as much as ive asked he wont tell me!!!!
this has practically made me stop playing in hardmode because i find it just too hard no matter what builds i use and how he does it so easily.

so ive decided to come here the most popular forums around!
does anyone out there know of any ranger/pets hardmode build and would like to share it, im a noob and i suck at hardmode basically, and i would really like to know this build. thanks

um, next time he runs you through a mission select him and his heros while they're fighting, and write down the skills you see...
you can't realy keep a build secret in gw, and its probably not as original as he might think it is

Probably 4 splinter barragers/volleyers.

Rhamia Darigaz · Jun 10, 2008, 02:23 AM // 02:23

Some HA build that Sab on the forums here modified for necros and everyone runs them basically. Although 3 Searing flames heroes>sabway imo.

Yeah, until you run into something that actually hits you before they die...

Sabway gives you minions for damage reduction, damage, and energy (for the necros), whilst also carrying prots to further reduce damage for the team on that one char.

Then there is the SS who has AoE damage + barbs (more damage), enfeebling blood (more damage reduction) etc.

Finally the WoR healer has near unlimitted energy due to minions, & foul feast/sols. Can spam massive heals, as well as two party wide heals [Life] & [Protective Was Kaolai].

How does 3 SF heroes even touch this... its near impossible to fail HM with this aslong as you understand aggro, and dont leeroy the entire game.

4 rangers ....

maybe a setup like this:

1 r\me with [Crippling Shot] + [epidemic] + [volley]
1 r\p with [barrage] + [volley] + [go for the eyes] + [stand your ground!]
2 splinter barrage

or

1 r\me with cripshot + epidemic + volley
1 r\p with barrage + volley + gfte + stand on ground
1 r\m with [bha] + [volley] + [aegis] + [healing ring]
and the player r\rt with
[ebon battle standard of honor] + [barrage] + [splinter weapon] + [volley]

For heroes ... you should use 2 monks, a warder and i dont know the other one.
[Favorable winds] + [Winnowing] may be usefeul

I never tried this .... and i think that sabway is way better.

Theres not much call for Crip shot in PvE really. Unless your looking to make sure your applying Posion or some such or trying to stack tons of conditions.

If you want to be a BM in HM take [skill]Great Dwarf Weapon[/skill] and keep that on your pet look around this Ranger forum and there is a thread with some really good BM builds taking advantage of GDW applied to your pet.
