it helps a lot if you can weild a sword. the sword will make sure you are exactly adjacent to the boss.(20% raj is nice) and you either hav to run right thru her guards and they will sometimes just fall behind you. or you can run around in a circle a bit and manuever them to fall at your side kinda. i used to ghail a lot, got it first drop on first 2x weekend.

After a few rounds of messing around with this, I have found that the following seems to be the most effective in farming here:
Auspicious Parry
Deadly Riposte
Riposte
Healing Signet
Scourge healing
Gash
Distracting blow
(optional)

Attributes:
Tactics:16
Smiting Prayers: 11
Swordsmanship:6

General Guide: Clear all of the enemies as you normally would, then send your henchies on their way. From here you want to charge the Acolyte of Dwayna... she will like begin casting her form so melee, AP, riposte, melee, AP, Deadly, Gash-rinse and repeat (Deadly recharge will now be your marker for when to hit with gash again). When the form runs out immediately cast scourge healing, followed by your normal routine of ripostes and parries. Make sure you keep scourge healing up... the 63 damage every cast will hurt him severely. And watch carefully for the recast of the form (you should have him very near death by now) Distract it, this will give you a 30 second window to finish him off. Rinse and repeat until you get as many of what you want

. If you start running low on health, hit in this order: AP, Sig, rip, deadly rip, gash and you should be good to go. Good Luck and enjoy your drops!

Why not go as a W/N and use strip enchant as she is a Derv. who uses enchantments.

Draxanoth · Mar 03, 2007, 06:55 PM // 18:55

Much faster with a Mesmer, as long as she can't see you. That's all the hints I'm giving.

Hint Hint do you mean signet of midnight?

Hi im having trouble killing dwayna can anybody help me plz???

jcapulet · Mar 08, 2007, 04:03 PM // 16:03

Thanks so much for posting this guide! I had trouble killing her solo with this build...I must not be properly chaining my ripostes. What's the proper way?

However, I had hubby help me, and we killed her. Dwayna's Grace dropped for him and he gave it to me

With his mesmer, he used Signet of Humility so she couldn't switch to her form so fast....muhahaha!!

Meanwhile, I hacked away while he further degen'd her.

Do u kill everyone but the Acolyte with henchmen then send them away??

N Sane OEF Marine · Mar 14, 2007, 11:48 PM // 23:48

For me the 55 monk/Mesmer Visage + Visage + Illusionary weapon build works better. Same concept with the original Tank Hench clear the area build process except for.....//The importance of leaving at least 2 melee fighters alive with the Acolyte. more melee the better.// (Derv or War type doesn't matter. These guys will give you ur energy back while your pummeling the Acolyte with IW and draining his energy to nothing making it a successful Kill IMO). Works great for me.

got 2 graces so far...gotta stop and do missions and quests for now before the weekend. or else my drops will end up with rotten eggs.

AcidDog · Mar 15, 2007, 07:50 PM // 19:50

nice build works well, takes a bit long though

Ummm, I don't know... I wonder if you do... Hmmm maybe recheck the top of the thread??? Hmmm I wonder if you send henchies away... Hmmm...

I can consistently kill Dwayna in anywhere between 5:30 (record) and 8 minutes. Build is as follows:

Auspicious Parry
Riposte
Deadly Riposte
Gash
Flail
Scourge Healing
Healing Signet
Dolyak's Signet

14 Tactics, 10 Strength, 9 Swords, 8 Smiting.

Riposte/Deadly Riposte while she's in form for harassment, the second she switches out, Scourge goes on, I switch to a 3/1 Vamp Sword and kick into Flail. Riposte/Deadly Riposte as often as possible, same with Gash. Reapply Scourge after approximately 15 seconds, and continue to Flail away. 8 or 9 times out of 10 I can kill her before she can jump back into form. The 5:30 time I killed her just as the animation began for her form casting.

Thanks so much for the build!

Got her scythe 3rd try.

Farming this with a Rt/Me spirit spammer, run time 6-7 min total using the hench trick, solo killing the Acolyte in under a minute.
Here's the video if you are interested in this method:

Ok, now THATS an Acolyte of Dwayna solo build. Just tried it now, she didn't even get a spell off she spent that much time on her arse. I must admit i was a little unsure it would actually work till i watched the video of you tearing her apart. Definatly works better than the Warrior version that hangs mainly on the hopes she actually hits you enough to kill herself.

If she does survive long enough to recast Dwayna (like she just did to me after fleeing for no reason when i lured her...) then at least the spirits distract her while you flee.

Edit: She just did it again... not sure why but she casts her enchantments, spirits lunge at her and she runs off. Luckily this time her Avatar was interrupted by Dissonance and she died (and dropped a scythe

)

Shadar · Mar 20, 2007, 01:11 PM // 13:11

Yes, sometimes she doesn't want to attack.. the AI is weird. But when she stays inside spirit range I never saw her live long enough to use Avatar again

Evilsod · Mar 20, 2007, 02:29 PM // 14:29

If she stands directly adjacent she usually dies easily... otherwise she always survives unless Dissonance/Wanderlust stop her Avatar on the second attempt.

Valeria · Mar 27, 2007, 05:51 PM // 17:51

i tried the riposte build without much sucess (mesmer build wasn't that easy either). Then i called one of my heroes for help. Razah set up his ghosts end she went down pretty quick. and at kill No. 6 with one hero besides me i got the scythe.

I guess i'll try the ritu only build next time if i need another one

during the process i found lulus spear and custos bow as well ^^
