My question is, what is the build Assassins are using to solo G.O.L.E.M. I know it's possible but the Assassin I was with wouldn't show it, and when I died on purpose to watch him, he left the mission.

So does this community know of any build possible?
A/E was his build, and was using a staff.
I've tried sliver armor. = no go
Perma daggers with poison and asura scan = no go.

Help anyone?

hmm what about burning+poison and then some damage?

Narcin · Oct 06, 2008, 07:22 PM // 19:22

most likely using heavy degen with moderate damage. Burning Radiation Field possibly Lava Font

Burning And fire damage vs destroyers = GG

Tried.. still doesn't work. Possibly with Alkar's Alchemical Acid.

Wow you guys are real helpful. Azzholes. He asked a simple question. When we see the runners using the build, we dont see them using any skills, except the ones to maintain SF. And yet they can do G.O.L.E.M. in 10 mins

I wouldn't recommend using ANY hexes when dealing with Destroyers. The mesmers have a nasty little skill they use to make SF go bye-bye. [Hex Eater Vortex]

Yea, found that out using A/Me

Konig Des Todes · Oct 06, 2008, 09:24 PM // 21:24

Hmmm. Try:

3 Perma SF skills
Ebon Battle Standard of Honor->Asura Scan->Alkar's Alchemic Acid

Toss in Iron Palm, and Entangling Asp, I guess.

Give that a go and tell me how it works.

(Note: Don't use Asura Scan when the mesmers are around, but there are not many in that mission I believe, and take the mesmers out first)

i think really all you need to do is have SF up and wait for the bringers of destruction to spawn without killing anything. you would then have a ton of aggro for the bringers and just sliver, EBSoH, AAA and air of superiority to recharge sliver if it doesn't target the bringers in time. not really sure if the bringers spawn if the other waves of destroyers are still alive or just when the kilns heat up. but that's my best guess.

^^ this post is the warmest. The rest aren't even close.

Just gave it a try with heroes to catch the destroyers on the left side wich get past in the time it takes to get up the hill. Got both kilns heated and the bosses spawned, but after loosing some destroyers because of their follow range while luring and trying to kill the bosses they kicked a kiln and mish failed

€dit: Ok just finished it, wasn't very fast due to sliver targeting problems just ordered my heros to protect the right side after they finished the 2-3 Destroyers wich came trough.

Bar used: [I Rubain I's Skills;OwZTkY/8ZS6jHRnBZIXkHKVcUEA] but i think Air of Superiroity is a better choise then AAA

I don't see why people are having trouble with this.

It's just the standard perma Sliver build; and the whole bridge deal is simple.

Take someone with you who will take quest after you gather all destroyers and hold the choke point.

Runners can't do this without a person to run.

Also recall across the bridge doesn't have enough range, with speedboosts you might make it but I still doubt you'll be able to grab all the aggro 100% of the time.

Lol - Doh - /face plam

It never occurred to me that you could trigger the kiln with a hero (I assumed only a human player could do it) and that was what was making this seem hard.

Very simple

Standard perma-sin sliver armor build with Alkar's Alchemical Acid

If you don't have a human player you are running, flag a hero near the base of the pyramid where he won't trigger the kilns.

Run across the bridge and gather the destroyers together (the three ranged attackers by the east bridge will not cross the bridge and are no threat to the kilns so don't worry about them.)

Move almost to the choke point where you can can still clearly see the top of the pyramid and flag your hero to the top of the pyramid to trigger the kilns (to be honest this did not work every time. From that distance the hero seemed to get confused sometimes even though he only had to walk up the stairs. After little experimenting I was able to find a spot to the right and in front of the choke point that allowed me to set the hero pretty consistently)

Go to the choke point and wait out the heating process (use sliver armor to kill as many melee destroyers as you can while waiting for the kilns)

Once the kilns have heated, kill the bringers (Since you have killed most of the melee ones, targeting the bringers should not be a problem and the ranged attackers hitting you will bring them down quickly. You may lose agro on some of the destroyers when you go to kill the bringers. These will head to the kilns. That's not a problem if you kill the bringers quickly enough, and if you killed most of the melee fighters you should be able to do so. You can actually lose one kiln, but not both, at this point without failing the mission.)

If you are farming for cores instead of going for speed you can take all the time you want to kill destroyers before killing the bringers. But keep in mind if you lose agro on any of the destroyers, they will head for the kilns.

going for speed = just a few seconds over 7 minutes (not counting loading times) And after all the trial runs I am now 25 cores closer to the gloves

Course, it's not a true solo as you have a hero with you but it's close.

Hmm.. guess I'll have to log into try. The Sin that ran me only took 10mins to do it.. seems like that would work with Sliver.

Edit: It's possible. Just having trouble getting the hero to trip the mission.
