There may not have been a scream on the video but there sure was screaming going on at my end when that popped up!

I want to say I was the first to start doing this, but who knows.
Dash is L E E T

Anyways, I use the standard SF build, with Sliver Armor and Buffs to that (Intensity/Ebon Battle Standard). Now, this works well enough - but if the Bringer's aren't targeted, you're in for a long run xD. For the last slot, I normally have some form of a Shadow Step (depends on your preference), to get to the Bringer and cast, before a mob comes - doesn't really work, but makes me feel better.
Normally, you can get it down in about 7-8 mins or so, if you miss the Bringer's on early attempts, you're looking past 10 mins.

As for bringing a hero, yeah - just load up a team, tell 'em to hold one side, then send a hero to your side after the Kiln's heat. This'll trigger the next stage of the quest. If you need a run walkthrough, PM me in-game.

Key thing is to not go close to the Mesmers (Destroyer of Thoughts), if so - they'll strip your enchants.

I'm thinking about modding the build to go a bit faster, maybe a Dagger variant - but no idea.

EDIT: Saw the vid link, not sure why you were killing all of the other Destroyers leading up to it.
Also saw your Against the Charr, I normally run Sliver again, but I add in Stoneflesh for some damage reduction from the Arrows - this allows you to do HM.
Just cast Stoneflesh before final aggro, shadow step into the boss, Sliver. Total time = 5 mins or so.

It's also possible to do Curse of the Nornbear, but it's flawed - and requires a hero to bond you up for the final fight.
Otherwise, it's just a dagger build. You die at the last part, hope your hero died far enough in to res with you... :/

If you kill the melee destroyers at the choke point while the kiln is heating up then sliver targeting the bringers is almost guaranteed. The only exception would be one or two that pop out of the bringers' pods and with all the ranged attackers on you they go down in less then two seconds.

Destroyer of Thoughts use Hex Eater Vortex: Elite Spell. Remove a hex from target ally. If a hex is removed in this way, foes near that ally take 30...78...90 damage and lose one enchantment. Therefore killing them with out use of any hexes = gg

Why not? You got all that time to waste. First successful run while frapsed. A little extra info is always good. It's not necessary to kill everything.

HM is to easy on this quest. Do it in NM also do GOLEM in NM with Sliver Armor and have fun trying.
