Curse

So, in the last time I have gotten into SCs and I learn covering more and more roles. Still even after watching vids and trying out various things myself I still have some unansweared questions:

FoW T2:
After killing the Cavewolf, when is it better to wait for restore and when is it better to go for Khobay?

UW LT:
For an A/Me, I use Mantra, Shroud, SF, HoS.
I'm still pretty unsure about the other 4 skills, I've seens Me primarys get away with 3 damaging skills and DC, I guess that is not an option for an A primary? Still, what would be the best 4 remaining skills (I've seen so many variations that I'm not sure what to take exactly^^).

UW T1:
Is there an A/E skillbar that can do the quest solo? (preferably without pcons)

Thanks in advance

FoW T2: it's a matter of preference, but it is faster to kill Khobay as he spawns.

LT, again, another matter of preference. I take Empathy, EVAS, and FH because I am comfortable with those skills and know my limits and options when I take them.

UW T1, not really my area of expertise, but to my knowledge it is not possible to solo quest as A/E.

For t2 in fow if you can quickly get the cave wolf and I mean on your first attempt without have to repull and all that you usually have a safe time frame to get to Khobay, pug t1s usually arent that fast at clearing tos anyways.

UW T1, it is extremely impractical to even pop wastes. The smites will outheal virtually all your damage due to the cap. IF you manage to pop I guess you can do it, but you need quite some luck and skill then to pull it off.

Yeah, the reason for using OF Ele rather then usual Sin terra is the need of large dmg..the ele can deliver it cause OF do not have a dmg cap. On the other hand, it can't solo the q (a sin with right build maybe could, not sure).

Afaik, the only build that can clear, pop and do the quest in solo al toghether is a R/A (Whirlwind is so cool..), but every time you use it you'll have to blow up tons of pcons to break 15 in shadow.

Thanks a lot

Well, I've seen E/Me do it with pcons somewhere, but its no big deal, I guess most PUGs don't expect you to do it anyways.

Also noted the T2 advice, I think I will just try some more to figure out the best timing regarding when to go Khobay first.

That leaves the LT, I know lots of skills work, but is there any combination of 3 that an A/ME can put to good use? I thought about EVAS, but I think the cooldown is just not worth it

Using a stone (mostly use ghastly, not sure if any other will do) to a nightmare or a glitched coldfire you can delay the dryder long enough for you to reach them and grab the aggro.

Of course you still will have to silver 3 skele down without any heal, so it require pratice and timing.

Given the fact that a R/A can do all this safely and with the added benefit of waste pull very few e/me do it anymore

As LT, if you're casting EVAS twice on the same foe, you're doing it wrong.

I know that, but especially at the last keeper most of the time you will have to kill a skeleton, so wont the longer recharge be a pain?

Just run up and kill the keepers, I don't kill any skeles. There are easier bars than the EVAS+FH though, especially if you're a mesmer.
