I've been trying to search for a good build for Hell's precipice, but the search tool is down again and I've looked through the stickies, but it seems that most all the builds I can find are either some sort of farming build or a PvP build.

Anyway, I'm at Hell's Precipice and I tried it once about a month ago and got about half-way through with a PUG. I'm not sure what build I used, but I'm looking to try the mission again and want to find a good build for it. Right now I can say that the only elite skills that I have are Battle Rage, Warriors Endurance, Endure Pain and Gladiator's Defense. As a side note I was running my Mo/Me through Dragon's Lair mission recently and I had another player run Succor on me and I thought it was great. After doing some reading some people said that a truly good W/Mo would sacrifice his energy and throw Succor on the party monk and use adrenaline skills for his attacks. I've flirted around with several different builds (primarily sword) and I just can't seem to find a good damage build.

If I recall, I think Hell's Precipice is loaded with a lot of monsters that do not bleed so any sort of attack skill that causes bleeding or deep wound from bleeding may not be benificial. So I tested some builds out of Ember Light Camp like:

Pure Strike (only energy attack skill)
Watch Yourself
Battle Rage (Must be careful using this as any non-attack skills kills batte rage
Galrath Slash
Final Thrust
Healing Signet
Succor
Rebirth

Strength 12
Sword 13
Tactic 12

I was wondering if throwing Dolyak Signet in there might be good, but I think the problem with this build I found was it had little damage output. Many times I had trouble hitting enemy (especially when blinded...obviously). Since I had trouble hitting then this hurt my adrenaline build. This is a great site with a lot of people making good suggestions, but a lot of the help I read is very specific to certain areas in the game, fighting specific monsters and I was hoping someone could help me out with this specific part in the game. Thanks for any advice.

I.m.o. you shouldn't use a pure damage build. Me and my guild leader did it a few days ago, and I was a war/mes damage/tank, and we also had a war/mon who was straight damage dealing. He ended up not being able to do too much damage do to having to heal at multiple intervals.
The build I used was like :
Doylak, "Watch yourself!", Sprint, Elemental Resistance, Disrupting Chop, Healing Signet, Cleave{E}(could be Eviscerate, but I didn't have that at the time), and some other damage skill.

Just did the entire mission recently with henchies and a warrior friend. Was easier then many missions, and definitely easier/quicker then when I did this before with a group.

12 str
9 tact
15 axe
3 heal

Skills: Execution, Cyclone, Endure, Heal Sig, Res, Rage, Meding for Enchanted weapon.

Good luck and don't waste your time with a group of people.
