maybe your build needs work? you should be able to run that solo in HM, the heros just make the beginning quicker imo...just bring a couple of xx/p heros for incoming and fall back, and a warrior for charge, or any other hero that has a party-wide IMS - although the three mentioned are the most popular. Regardless of which heros you bring chances are they will be dead by the 2nd bridge anyway, assuming you are running and not fighting. Post your build, armor and equipment and maybe we can figure out why your having troubles?

That could be possible ;p
the only chestrunning i have done in the past is pogmei NM and the outcast run mentioned above, and these are not hard at all.

This is what i am using in Hell's:


I'm wearing full blessed armor, and i bring 7 hero's (3 W/P and 4 P/any) all with fallback and Incoming/"Charge!".

If any1 got any ideas to improve it please tell me, i would realy like to spent some time chestrunning, because it is a perfect break from studying.

I would Suggest dropping paradox for Glyph-Reason being saves more energy(Just Glyph-when shadowform is at 3/4 and run a Little then SF and Put attributes into Air)

I also Take Dash over Death charge but that's my preference as mobs break easier with it-especially if you've pulled a good Load(Yea i realize there's stance removal, Just be smart using it)

[gw_poster]

tbh, i run hells on my ranger...the vs ele damage bonus is key and i use pyrebound armor, plus using stormchaser gives LOTS of energy (all ele damage, except the cold damage from the necros)...anyway, i would incorporate the stormchaser into a sin build as well, so just go A/R using your bar and sub stormchaser for say death's charge...which i only use to get past potential titan bodyblocking on the 2nd bridge. IAU is another key skill for getting in and out of the lava quickly and you got that one so cool. Use a -2/ench, 10/fire shield as well and you should be gold.

edit: why run pongmei on NM? It's a walk in the park in HM and that way you'll at least make your money pack, plus some by getting elite tomes (if you're worried about losing $ breaking picks). I've never come out of pocket for picks since my first 100k investment for picks, taking into account tomes/elites/golds. Fwiw, this includes the fact that I sell most of my unids except for some q9 skins and most shields (I only run in areas that drop uninsc stuff)

I was hoping to see a low req gold being dropped, but gave that up after only a few days, in NM it's just not worth the drops you get.

thx all for helping me out, will change my build and go on chestrunning

[superraptors]

you can run hells hm using a dervish, much easier.

I made a video for chestrun in Hell's with my A in HM (as possible in R)

I use YMLAD to cripple burning titans.

[system.fan]

realllllly nice build with stormchaser + ymlad! makes the run faaaaaar easier
thank you very much for posting buddy

[Glorg]

No problem

Some maps :

In Tasca's Demise 1-2chest/~3mn
Possible titans chest with this quest.
http://wiki.guildwars.com/wiki/Defend_Droknar%27s_Forge


Forum Highlands
1-2 chest (rarely 2) in 30sec-2mn, no perma needed but you may have an high armor (be careful to skrees and hekets)


Vehtendi Valley
I like this chest (nothing particulary) 5chests/4-7mn
Blue circles are eyes (lol ) so look in these way


Divinity coast (the mission)
You need to brings heroes to kill some foes.
Go to the purple point (kinematic), and go to the orange point and kill foes with your heroes. Gates are open

Anyone here ever gotten iridescent or diamond aegis from chests? Recently started chest running in pongmei valley, done some running in rheas crater and morostav trail as well and I made a list of things I want to find. After about 1,5k chests haven't seen them. I think that they should drop from the chests near am fah and jade brotherhood and I've heard its possible to find them from kurzick chests as well. So anyone here have had any of these drop?

This looks genius! I mean, Hell's isn't a hard run the way I do it (glyph + SF and perma Dark Escape) but yours looks so much more fun and is pretty ingenious I'd take HoS > Feigned Neutrality though. HoS is pretty cool to get head starts and is a strong heal.

I've never seen one drop in the ~9,000-10,000 chests I've ran in Cantha. Not a single one. And I've ran chests in Xaquang Skyway, Pongmei, Silent Surf, Rhea's Crater, Boreas Seabed, Bukdek Byway, Morostav, Melandru's Hope, Raisu Palace... They are so excruciatingly rare it's retarded. Don't hope for one son, you won't get one. Maybe by accident, but good luck I guess.

I got ~25.000 chests opened so far. at least half of them opened in cantha.

Got 2 Iridescent in Drazach Thicket (near kurzick warrior)
Got 1 Iridescent in Boreas Seabed (near luxon assassins)
Got 1 Diamond in Raisu Palace

Started chestrunning like 5 years ago. so might have forgotten few drops tho...

Got em all in NM btw....

So the droprate is rly rly low! best chances to get them is near HUMAN foes... like luxon/kurzick army or am fah / jade brotherhood.

Feigned Neutrality > HoS when u run throu lava in the end near those 2 or 3 warrior titans spawning

at least thats what i think!
u should run with what u feel more comfortable

[RolePlaynGamer]

I had an iridescent aegis drop in Pongmai a while ago, I think it dropped from a jade brotherhood chest in HM. They're very rare indeed.

IAU with shadow sanctuary is basically all you need

[AndrewSX]

Or don't understimate Feel no pain + Drunken master if you're going to drink. It's like +300hp, +3 hp regen and +33% IMS. All maintenable.
