Add Winds on your char, especially if you're not fully AFK (playing something else, browsing web, whatever). Helps omit some damage from Barrage and that annoying dazes from BHA later on. Summon Ice Imp helps a bit, too. None is necessary for it to work, but makes it more safe.

Yeah. There are tons of skill to help. EOE is pretty effective too. Makes it a lot faster.

I'd appreciate pointing out other already tested variations then, as i'm running it only semi-afk and i can pop a skill every few minutes.

I run Winds and EoE, but I guess you could /Mo and run bonds too.

Like I said, I'm running this variation:

Witch exception that all heroes are set on offensive. Tried this with rank 0, and it works. I do it with rank 10, though now

This works, however I die at the 4th stage. Nice setup though...

Ive done 2 runs with no issues and I dont do anything at all, except pick up drops...

heres the builds:

Myself-monk = edge of distinction but I dont use it or need it.

hero1= Rt-SoS: OACkAqhkITez18bWOhmVTvJzEjB
hero2= Me-Panic: OQhkAkC8QFiDNIH0EId9gMg0cyB
hero3=Me-Inept: OQhkAoB8AGK0LAC4KAKQe2yXGwFD
hero4=Mo-UA healer: OwUTMmGDZqBcj4ioLCkID4uhhAA
hero5=N-Discord1: OANEUsht8KFzoAeUhGsFWPEQETA
hero6=N-Discord2: OAhkUwG4RFmTMrKYHQEDTpJ1+iB
hero7=N-Discord3: OAhjUwGYoOxsjaGbYO5kmjzLGA

Hero 1 in the middle spot, Hero 2 left hand side, hero 3 right hand side.
Heros 1,2,3 are set to fight.
Hero 4 is avoid.
Heros 5,6,7 are set to guard
and I sit right on the dragons nose.

All my heros are runed and have green weapons, except hero3 he is only lvl 18 atm and no runes or decent weapons..

Though my runs take a bit longer, 19-20 mins. I find having the minions prove useful to act as a meat shield for the baby dragon when the destroyers come from behind..

Hope it works, thanks again for the setup and idea.
cheers

X-Plosiv - i'm running a non-merc version of 5 mesmer combo, and it works perfectly fine (Me/Rt, Me/E, Me/Rt Rt/Me, E/Me, E/Rt, E/Mo), even without popping EoE. I use the exact same setup as OP, just two heroes are not mesmer primary - no big deal. However, i am not running it AFK, only with the window being in the background, thus it's not a problem to pop a skill every 3 minutes.
I try to maintain EoE almost all the time, as it makes things faster. I use Winds in the first two waves to overcome Barrage and BHA from rangers. I pop the Ice Imp and the Ebon Vanguard standard, the one for casting time and recharge, every time i swap windows.

Tiago made me think there are other skills i could just pop every few minutes to make it faster and/or more stable. My question was about them - best already tested ideas what can i bring on my playable character to speed up the process.

I prefer to have my Razah as Ritualist since I usually do HM things where 2 ritualists come handy, but if this works for you, there you go!

Snorph · Jul 24, 2011, 10:53 PM // 22:53

Oddly enough I dropped the monk just for kicks, and I completed the glints. Not total afk, but was worth it. I dropped my UA monk for a Rit SOGM. Worked very well.

peter81 · Aug 01, 2011, 10:43 AM // 10:43

Finally i tried it myself. Build from post #166. No special preparations, no special weapons and runes on heros, no EoE - totally AFK. Only r10 delver on me.
Works great ! About sixteen runs and 0 deaths. No special drops but tons of dcores.
Thanks

My party always die aroud 3.10min. Not to mention that the heros always leave their flag position to engage almost in close combat....
Any advice please?

ddarek · Aug 01, 2011, 04:59 PM // 16:59

Set Heroes to GUARD
IF GUARD no running or chasing enemies
or Some of them are too close to edge of cliff area
Never died .......
Hmmm invest in decent weapon at least for 40/40 for mes and decent Vitae runes
Should be enough

T1Cybernetic · Aug 01, 2011, 05:12 PM // 17:12

If it's not too much to ask could someone capture it and post the video? It would put an end to a few questions and I for one would be grateful

Yea - i forgot to add that all heroes are in guard mode. I dont know if they are dead from time to time, because im always afk. But they never failed all farm.

My baby dragon keeps dying..
Doing with 2 mes, 2 ele, 1 necro, 2 rit. Otherwise went greatly but dragon dies..

svobo · Aug 04, 2011, 04:55 PM // 16:55

Do you think PvE Skills like Standart of Honor (to increase dmg output) or Vanguard Assassin (to kill Single targets) would Be an advantage?

TiagoS1 · Aug 05, 2011, 09:52 AM // 09:52

OPINION:

I found this builds very useful even for general pve'ing in HM. It just takes some adaptation depending on areas (e.g.: hex heavy, condition heavy, etc)

You dont need any skills. Heros do all job.

Im going to be looking for a replacement for the ER prot ele, heroes just suck with an ER build and vekk has pissed me off for the last time.

Check builds from post #151. I use no ER.
