Not really. A friend runs it with his mesmer, so... ^^

You can also do it with mesmer or ele. For ele you'll need a cons that gives you +1 att in all your atributes (not necessarry the grial of might, can be golden egg or smth similar ). For mesmer just run the permamesmer build, that is smth along this lines:

[build=OQdTAwh+ZiHZJQnJuhmE3pBaCCA]

Here is the proof that the mesmer can run it:

Make sure you kill as much as possible at the wall then go where Thommis camps when is not attacking and flag your H/H so they make the run you did. Because of the "h/h do not spawn enemies"-mechanic they can make the run without any problems. Only thing is you need to position yourself right so you don't have any enemies that you come a cross during the run in your radar.
Once your H/H are in the same room you're in, you can chase Thommis around all you want

So far no luck for me with the drops

Thanx for the tip, i'll give it a try. As for the drops, don't worry, you're not alone in your suffering

btw primal echoes is really a great option for FS rangers cause thommis uses healing signet, consider bringing this skill it makes the run a lil faster

Well, Dark Escape also has the whole damage reduction to work in its favor. It also has a 30 second recharge, while Drunken Master's is 60 seconds.

ReZDoGG · Sep 01, 2008, 08:05 PM // 20:05

Got this one my 3rd of 4th run today! and I've only done about 8 or 9 runs total since this was released. so I am guessin I am pretty lucky for a change... usually I never get anything good. I was also running my sin, so the extra work paid off

Kerwyn Nasilan · Sep 02, 2008, 01:09 AM // 01:09

I have been doing this several hours a day since the thread was made, have seen a good 10 V spears and Aegises. The Drop rate is low but no imhumanyly low.

Sin City Gamer · Sep 02, 2008, 02:06 AM // 02:06

I didn't see anywhere earlier in the thread if this was suggested, so:

I got a PuG earlier and tried a few things on my mesmer. We only had 3 eles, I was in for the 4th.

[build=OQZCAcwkQFxAwwSAyQuIuIuA]

Sup Illusion rune w/ headpiece, Minor Fast Cast rune

Basically, go from bottom to top, with SoI every 3 spells.

With SoI the Ward of Wisdom is even better than maxed Vanguard rank (61%) and both wards last until recharge (unless, of course, you get the HSR due to Wisdom Ward =] )

It may not seem like much, but the PuG I was with was averaging 3 minutes from the load into the actual dungeon until we all had our chest drops.

(I have no idea how to post a skill bar, so bear with me please)

16 Illusion
13 Fast Casting

Sig of Illusion
Searing Heat
Meteor Shower
Arcane Echo
Glyph of Lesser Energy
Ebon Ward of Wisdom
Ebon Ward of Honor
Fire Attunement

I'd bring CoP and ether nightmare instead oif the fire skills but thats just me :x

Only problem there is that would be 4 PvE only skills on the bar. I think the Wards are pretty much the core of the build (it's meant to support the eles, not cause much damage on its own) so they both should stay. That being said, either CoP or EN are useless onthier own. CoP w/o a hex = crappy interrupt AND degen in HM = pointless

Not a bad idea, just don't think it works on this bar.

okashii · Sep 02, 2008, 07:14 AM // 07:14

anyone got a good tactic for those pesky stone summit marksman with longbows ? its sometimes very hard to pull them in the casters range

mathiastemplar · Sep 02, 2008, 07:33 AM // 07:33

Nicely done. It's possible with /A
i did 9 mins run yesterday as W/A - easy

eximiis · Sep 02, 2008, 12:28 PM // 12:28

Could you post a build? As a warrior i'm not welcome into PUGs doing this "farm". You did this with H/H ?

Shadow Form, I Am Unstoppable, Deadly Paradox, Sig of Stamina, Endure Pain... ??

Thanks
