Some areas in the game have proven difficult in hard mode to clear for your vanquisher title. However, for some of the more difficult areas. I've tried this, and it worked well...

Bring a Bonder monk & cast Life bond on the party. Bring another monk, possibly two other monks, each with Seed of Life. Alternate casting Seed of Life on the bonder. Your party will be recieving constant and fast heals. This has made vanquishing areas much easier for me. Give it a try yourself.
Do hurry up with it though, it is only a matter of time before the new skills are weakened, even though they are all restricted to PvE, anyways.

I was using a similar idea. I used Tahlkora, flagged at the edge of the radar, Maintaining Life Barrier on most players and Life Bond on the monks up front. It works like a charm and she has no trouble spamming blessed signet to keep her energy up intimes of 3 energy degeneration. One ofthe only ways I've found to complete some areas in Hard Mode is to use this sort of method...the damage NEEDS to be brought down to heal-able levels...Life Barrier/Life Bond performs that service well, unless there is a lot of enchantment stripping around in which case I need to rethink my strategy.

Ive found pretty much all zones in the game to be just about the same when it comes to vanquishing them. But i don't know how good this works now after the armor nerf.

SoR or SoD prot monk.
LoD infuser.
Warrior with "Watch Yourself" at 15 points attribute.

Made most vanquishing easy. All targets having a high AL really helps a lot.

In some cases using a minionmaster with hex removal skills or RC is going to help a lot.

Bonding is win, just make sure that there isn't really hard enchant removal.

Well SoR monk;SF ele and MM (and me as W) work just fine for me,at least in 4 man areas where i kill 150+ foes for just under 1 hour.Later on i take 2 SF eles MM and 2 monks(henches) if available or the same SoR,SF,MM heroes and monk and ele henches.
