ive been at this quest for 4 days so far and i cant seem to get enough done without dp pushing to each afflicted, then when i get to the last peasant the heres just seem to die all the time because of the accumulation of dp

builds are fine i suppose but i was looking into some insight on the reason this is too difficult, alot of my allies seem to be stuck on this same quest as well and the majority of us are using cons, pcons AND summoning stones and still cant seem to push through enough.

anyone have any ideas if they would dull the OPed ness of the afflicted there / allow palyer cap to be raised

also if anyone has any better builds please let me know
my builds are

SOS sin(no energy probs)

OAhiYwh8UzqejzJn0MaOMrqA
OANDUshtSyBVBHVKgoBTfVVoRA
OQNEAqsj2xECbCygpnpb5nBQjA

thanks till there are some easier methods to get through this without dying my way there i probably wont be doing this quest till.

FRUSTRATED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Put SoS on a hero; a SoS/Restoration works well.
Murder things with your daggers, and consider /W for SY.
Your team has too much healing, and not enough damage reduction and prevention.
Do long pulls, body block groups, and spread out.

You can find lots of builds, tips, and screenshots in a forum search. Rescue at Cho's HM was a common topic. The difficulty in this mission is due to the tightly packed high concentration of foes with dangerous builds. You have to pull them apart and counter them. No consumables or summoning stones are required.

SoS/resto doenst really tell me anything. and neither does dagger spam...HM isnt exaclty easy to run in and kill, i pulled and still got wiped, with double block

And if I accidentally pull more than 1 mob, or if things start going bad, I flag all of my heroes back and start running away, the spirits will usually keep them occupied long enough for the escape.
And then just lather rinse repeat :")

Pretty fun doing this quest in HM 10 times :") /cough

SoS/Resto and dagger spam generally refers to the meta builds which you can find on gwPvX.

As for the quest, I'd like to say that I completed it before the update that made the quest easier, so using that method (or anything else that works) should be easier.

And like MisterB said, no cons or summon stones were required.

EDIT: oh about the peasants, I don't know how easier the update made the quest (heard some say the peasants don't get attacked straight away),
for the first peasant, I pulled the enemies from the archway bit before entering the menagerie so the npc doesn't turn into a target,
the second peasant is a little bit trickier, coming towards the peasant after coming out the menagerie, I'd pull the group of afflicted to the right of the archway down the grassy bit and kill em there so the peasant wouldn't get agroed.
And finally for the last peasant, the "agro" of the npc is close to halfway down the watery path in between the island the npc is on, and the main island and I pull the afflicted with a longbow there without agroing the npc. Sometime's you'll have to be patient here waiting for the afflicted to come close enough to pull.

Good Luck

I don't play Assassin, but I mean spam Death Blossom as much as possible. Try gwpvx.com. As for SoS/Resto, this is what I mean. Pick the first three skills under Restoration, and a res. I like DPS for this.

If it helps, builds I used are here. I used party morale boosts because I screwed up. It's basically a variant of this. Flagging heroes ahead to save the peasants helped(heroes don't trigger spawns), but I'm not sure if that's even needed any longer.

For the last peasant there 2 ways to get to that island, I basically checked to see which way would allow me to put the enemy mob between me and the peasant so when I pull there's no chance of the peasant getting accidentally in the way.

I went as a melee char (spear ranger) and used a SoS Resto | SoGM | MM Prot.
I followed this path:

It is longer but easier to save the peasants.

thread can close now or stay open to help others!
