Tips, Advices and Countering Scenarios

1.) Always Keep Mantra of Resolve Active! UNLESS there are no mesmers in the group or unless you've done killing all hostile mesmers around you.

2.) When you're fighting less than 4 jade mobs, there's no need to use Heal breeze, this will help you save energy, but watch out for mages tho! if you think your regen from mending and WS cant stand the damage, then use heal breeze, otherwise dont!

2.) Take out Ritualists First. If by any chance you encounter a mob with two ritualists, try to shake one off but if its not possible, focus on one rit and power spike him when he casts Weapon of Warding (recommended) or Soothing Memories (not recommended as you'll miss most of the time, thus wasting your energy and time).

3.) As much as possible face Ghial without any ritualist on site. However, if there's no other choice, just repeat the same strategy stated in #3.

4.) On rare occasions, 3 Ritualists will spawn together with Ghial, Try to do the following:
a.) Try to pull 1 or two rits out of Ghial's Group, drag them towards the bridge and eliminate. Repeat on the next!
b.) if A fails, Aggro Ghial and run towards the bridge. There are times that the ritualist will give up chasing you and leaving you alone to face Ghial and his non-rit mobs.

5.) Never Face Ghial With a Ritualist still alive in the group and more than 4 enemies attacking you simultaneously (Though doable if there are no mages attacking you). 1 mage's hit = 2 strikes, why? They have conjure flame on with them!

6.) When the Rits are eliminated and its just you against Ghial with his 2-3 bodyguards, keep heal breeze, prot spirit, IW, and MoR on (unless there are no mesmers around). He will eventually die from your hack and slash IW! But two scenarios can arise from facing Ghial:

a.) First, would be when Ghial was able summon a Flesh Golem, dont give up, it doesn't mean you can't kill Ghial anymore. Just keep attacking Ghial until he reaches 50% health. When he does, switch your target to the Flesh Golem, kill it and immediately switch back to Ghial and Power Spike his "Animate Flesh Golem" Spell. Keep attacking him with IW while Interrupting AFG spell. He'll drop soon enough.

b.) The second scenario is when you're facing Ghial normally without a flesh golem in site, and no rits. He'll constantly cast and recast Faintheartedness (This is why you need Watchful Spirit to help counter the degen together with heal breeze) and Barbs. Keep hitting him with IW and when Barbs Starts to blink, prepare yourself to power spike Ghial when he casts Barbs on you. Just repeat this and he'll drop! (This can be seen on the video).

ahh great build! ive been loooking for a 55 build with a me/mo...

Impressive, I've seen a similar build used to farm the Underworld solo. The best thing about this build is that the cost of some ascalon enchanter's armor + 5 superior mesmer runes only costs about 5k, totem axe costs 5k, and you only have to pay 6 more thousand if you dont want to do the simple quest Cities Of Ascalon.

Another easy trick (if you don't mind dying) is to use a 55 setup with a -20 offhand instead of a -50. This leaves you at 85 health and fairly easy to kill. Instead of going across the bridge, run over by the vermin and die. When you respawn, you should have 13 health and with 4-5 regen you will be invincible. Just recast your enchantments and travel along the normal path. This setup is dangerous towards the end because once you kill Ghial you will have more health and will be more vulnerable. The nice thing is that you will only need to cast PS on the way to Ghial and use PS and Breeze once you get there. Using this method makes it a lot quicker and easier- even with the mages. (I'm not sure about the ritualists because I use a Mo/E with silver armor and SoJ so theyre never a problem.)
