snowmen on NM are crazy enough, but HM is like snowmen on speed

I still stand by my claim that 2 monks + 6 SF/MS eles are enough to clear it.

Hott Bill · Oct 20, 2007, 04:42 AM // 04:42

I've ran a splinter group couple of times in there. 6 R/rt's 2 Monks (1 Channeling LoD) (1 ZB or SoD Prot)

sentinel tank · Oct 20, 2007, 09:29 AM // 09:29

i soloed it 2 also in about 50 mins and i used the skills:
Mantra of earth, stone striker, stoneflesh, glyph of swiftness, obsidian flesh, sliver armor, crystal wave and stone daggers

it was very easy, just look out for the misschievous snowmen they daze you, but you can kill the 2 after the first 2 groups and one later just by first killing him

That is enough to clear it but i personally think the r/rt tank makes it quicker.

Well I think the only reason I could farm this dungeon is the exclusive wintersday items at the end chest, that's it.

Aum · Oct 20, 2007, 03:01 PM // 15:01

EOE is good if you are just going for delver points in either mode.

argh! why are people so short sighted sometimes?! i've said this once, and i've said it a million times:

this is the only place in all of guildwars with 170 level 24 monsters in such a tiny cooped up space, that come in mobs of 10 at a time!!!! they drop golds YES they drop lockpicks? YES they drop black dyes? YES!!! this can be one of the best mass aggro farming ever if done correctly! level 24 in mobs of 10 and in such a tiny spot!!! so what if theyr'e SNOWMEN?
plus theres the awesome reputation bonuses!

Nimrod EX · Oct 20, 2007, 09:46 PM // 21:46

bump and a message :P

so to all the people who have succesfully obsi farmed this location, aren't the drops just awesome? :P

ForgeWhelp · Oct 20, 2007, 11:25 PM // 23:25

Dude, bumping in the same day you made a post is likely to get you locked...

Nimrod EX · Oct 21, 2007, 06:29 AM // 06:29

really? isnt bump every 3 hours or something? XD

Aum · Oct 21, 2007, 09:28 AM // 09:28

I do this HM with Sab's necro builds, 2 hench monk and 2 hench eles. I go as ursan axe warrior with eoe. Or switch out 2 necros for dunk and another fire ele.

scraggles · Oct 21, 2007, 04:15 PM // 16:15

I'm still curious if there is a Monk build for this.

monstersparkler · Oct 22, 2007, 11:30 AM // 11:30

Anyone thought about taking a Dervish w/ Vow of Silence?

Zodiak · Oct 22, 2007, 12:23 PM // 12:23

I use a Warrior/Ritualist and i use Defiant was Xinrae

[skill]defiant was xinrae[/skill]

Description above does not match the skill

5 energy, 1/4 second cast, 5 second recharge
At 12 Communing it lasts 13 seconds and disables all ally mob spells for 17 seconds

What I do is hold the ashes, use signet of stamina and a stance to prevent knockdowns.

I run in first to get the first wave of smackdown. Once they've used snowball on it, it gets disabled for ALL of them. After that, all they can do is throw their normal attacks, which only does about 7-10dmg at most.

Thats where where the 6 fire eles come in and just obliterate everything while the 2 monks clean up any small damage received.

I then proceed to run into the next incomming mob before they can reach my allies.

Easy to H/H like this

Template code: OQgjEtVLISsMkivFZFDWbFBAYcA

Works fine with 3X sf heroes, 2ele hench and 2 monk hench. Going to take EoE next time

Zodiak · Oct 22, 2007, 05:30 PM // 17:30

I tried EOE

Spirit range is 2.3x (or something like that) your aggro bubble and it just didnt seem to stay alive long or targets werent in range of it most of the time.

Not to mention the recharge, which you usually dont want to wait for to recharge to move to the next mob.

Maybe with a real ranger with Serpent's quickness or something.

*shrugs*

Sold!er · Oct 22, 2007, 05:40 PM // 17:40

i tried with E/Me Terra Tank + sliver

OgVEMLWJz0wDl+LxsxXVbsVNAA

works fine...

but how u deal with "dazed"?

Zodiak · Oct 22, 2007, 05:47 PM // 17:47

This is what I use

[skill]defiant was xinrae[/skill], "I Am Unstopable", [skill]frenzied defense[/skill], Optional, [skill]healing signet[/skill], Light of Deldrimor, Summon Ruby Djinn, [skill]signet of stamina[/skill]
