Go to one of the following skill trainers to buy the skill:

* Michiko (Kaineng Center)
* Ziinyingmao Kaga (Dragon's Throat)
* Akane (Senji's Corner)
* Eileen (Altrumm Ruins)
* Meinrad (Brauer Academy)

I looked on the wiki, which took about 30 seconds. Where were you looking that it took an hour and still didn't produce any results?

I googled "Vampiric Bite Guild Wars" and went right to it. Really? An hour?

BrettM, that would be true if I was training for myself but I'm E/Me. I need the skill for my R/N *HERO*.

I figured out I can unlock it from a Balthazar priest using 1000 Bathazar faction. Thanks for the replies though!

You do know that you can change your secondary to /N and just buy the skill, right? Anything "you" learn is also learnt by your heroes...

Cyndr was for me the most hard boss to resist the damage on EotN, now I know why, playing Guild Wars about 2 months i didn't knew the armor importance, so Cyndr hit's me by 700+ damage, I was without my head armor(lol).
Me and H/H all -60%, my life was about 160+-, 4AM more than 50 tries...
My skills Ravenouz Gaze, Angorodon's Gaze, Vampiric Gaze N/Me
My heroes and henchs Ogden, Olias with SV, and Pyre Touch Ranger, earth mehnlo, lina and eve.
Usually it was 10s wipe to res and rinse again, no matter where the H/H was flagged, generally we was wiped in the entrance, but the miracle happened... Cyndr spawned besides the entrance, flagged the H/H behind the wall, mehnlo , i don't know why stepped outside, so H/H wipe... it was just me and Cyndr with a reestructured carapace and full life bar, I positioned behind the wall too , cynd couldn't hit me in this way, so I got her down in - 3minutes! Ravenouz Gaze, Angorodon's Gaze and Vampiric Gaze did the work, just these tree skills. If you don't have money to buy armor like me, I think that 2 blood heroes or touch rangers and 1 E/N with Ward Against Harm can beat her easily without break the carapace and flag. Setup blood bond on the necros to help devona or talon make more damage and Good lucky.

to Mark Nevermiss and all for their contributions to this thread.

I had problems even getting close to defeating Cyndr with my relatively new Mesmer and after reading this thread, loaded Jin and Pyre with following "touch Ranger builds" and Livia with her own "touch necro build", went with one protection and one healing Monk, Jora and Melonni (regular builds) and tried again.

I concentrated on getting the blackpowder kegs to Cyndr and wasn't paying attention but I managed to get two kegs on her and died twice in the process.

When the smoke was clear, Cyndr was dead with one third of her hard carapace still in place on the first try.

Oh, I also gave the Rangers wands as recommended and locked all attackers on Cyndr.

Thanks again.

Thanks again!

I wanted to say thank you to everyone who posted helpful advice on this thread. This was not an fun or well-designed encounter and I was ready to toss GW1 into the attic (again) but thanks to the GW1 community, I was able to get through. Hats off to you all.

I used 2 Touch Rangers, Livia as a touch necro (builds in ambergris' thread above), a minion bomber necro, Gwen and a Rit.

Perhaps I just ran into a fortunate bug but my group wiped just as I put down the last keg to take out his armor (I had not arranged my heroes in proper order and I wasn't able to position them correctly d'oh). Then as the group resurrects Budger is giving congratulations for killing it.

I'll take it and I have NO interest in running this thing again to see if was a reproducible bug or not.

Last time I used an Avatar of Grenth Dervish and that worked great. Next time I will try all rangers, dervishes and a healer.

8. Repeat steps 6 and 7 10 times per second until Cyndr is dead (should take around 6 seconds or so).

This doesn't work. I can only get a key every 4 seconds. So I assume it was fixed.

I guess it's time to give up now. Can't make sense of half the suggestion posted here anyway.
I already spent like 10 hours with this quest and got nowhere. It takes like 2 hours to have a decent chance of having him appear next to that dwarf because I get one hitted every time by those homing fireballs and that usually like 1 second before I can place a keg. So getting that Carapace down already takes like 10 minutes each.

And the Henchmen/Heroes are good for nothing but distraction. At least for the 10 seconds they last, even when you spread them all across the room.
And when that Carapace finally get destroyed I can barely get 1/4 of the health down, which quickly recovers of course. Of course the Henchmen could help but they are mostly lying on the ground already.

I can't even find better equipment anywhere. I still use that Flameforged stuff I bought like right when I started playing. You'd think after dozens of hours of playing some NPC would have something better but nooo.

What a colossal waste of time.

If anyone still need this quest I'm happy to help. (IGN Tomoko Mori)
In any case this has worked well for me:
1. Spirit Spammer with Spiritleech Aura, this will bypass Cyndr's armor.
2. Shelter can help reduce damage while running towards Cyndr.
3. More importantly, spread out around him.

heres some helpful hero info:
e/rt vekk = amazing SoS if u make half channeling half restore
xandra can go ST to reduce stuff
Olias & livia can make amazing bloodcaster heros
Another idea is to have a prot hero out as bait for cyndr and have the hero cast prot spirit on u as u keg, then as last keg unflag out of hallway
Or if all else fails theres alwaying hiring a runner. (like myself ;D)
