Curse

eggs0wn · Jan 17, 2010, 07:42 AM // 07:42

To start off I haven't play GW in over a year and I don't really remember a lot of old things nor do I know new things. I just came back a bit after seeing the all the SICK GW2 trailers.

So anyway, I am going to be playing casually and but want to try to get the KoaBD Title. I already had three max titles from doing Masters/Bonus Missions in all campaigns and I've decided to do the rep points for my next two.

Now to my actual post/question:

Could anyone possibly provide some builds for me and my heroes to do this. (I am a Ranger, btw). I don't really know what all those acronyms mean though and if you would even provide that template thing I'd be thrilled. Also, what exactly is this whole deal with killing yourself and then just using your heroes. I don't really understand that.

Thanks a bunch!

Quite right Zodiak

No, it's not worth it.
GOLEM does not contribute to the effectiveness of speedbooking.
Yes, it would roughly double the time requirements.
You would receive 1500 more rep per book.

ATC+COTN+ATFH = 3k rep @~8 mins
ATC+COTN+ATFH+GOLEM = 4.5k rep @~16 mins

I found it was a nice break to do GOLEM on a set of books when the repetition of the other 3 became too much.
No point otherwise.

Yea i got a question, how are you guys getting 4mins on COTN? im averaging 9mins...What are you guys doing diffrently? When I go in I have my group kill the mandragors, then I have to kill 2 more jotun groups that are in my way. Are the 2 jotun groups i mentioned spawning in your runs?

epicfail86 · Jan 21, 2010, 07:36 AM // 07:36

are you sure your are saccing right in the beginning? if you move up too far you'll spawn the jotun.

Devilman would you consider making a Textmod for flag positions for mission 1 and 2 please?

I'm using this (and your monks) and get him down to 1/2 health all the time without any issues whatsoever, then BAM I go to zero shortly after.

I can never kill him in ATFH.

Any ideas guys?

A few things can mess it up.

1 - Your monks are not at 13 prot prayers
2 - Not casting hero enchantments in the correct order
3 - Not interrupting lava wave (cases spawning of additional destroyers sometimes catching hero aggro)

If you still seem to die in the same manner, try running a discord build as essence snow suggested in an earlier post (just as fast and requires less messing around).

Remember your delver title.

WhiteAsIce · Jan 24, 2010, 08:24 PM // 20:24

Gonna test this out later today, since CotN is today's Z'mission.

Thanks, I'm sure it was number 1. Never used 3 prot Monks to farm ever so didnt know the magic number was 13

I appreciate it. I finally killed him, now time to do it 100s of more times ;p

Was just browsing youtube and saw a great vid posted by Ressmonkey.

Check it out - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eNpSrflJkXA

He explains in detail how it all works.

Zinfra · Jan 27, 2010, 10:59 AM // 10:59

Sorry for my question, I hope that this is the correct thread.
why destroyer sometimes attack my bots in ATFH?
Not always, around 1 time every 4

Nerfed by Anet?

If you fail to interrupt lava wave he spawns more foes which may aggro your heroes. Rarely a hero may run up to use a skill on you, if that's the case disable the skill.

This is sweet. Thanks a bunch for this.

Huiboo · Jan 31, 2010, 06:24 PM // 18:24

Tested it, works great.
I dont think its really slower than on a sin:

AtC: Heros running with 33% so a sin couldnt do the way to the bosses faster.
Killing the boss only takes slightly longer.

CotNB: Heros running with 33% speed buff and no breaks to recast SF, so faster than a sin could be.
Killing doesnt really take longer, because sin cant really help there much.

ATFH: Basically the same bar as a sin just minus the runes so only a few secounds slower.

Also you only need to change your build once not twice.

You lose some time in AtC (if any) and ATFH and gain some in CotNB so all in all your maximum 1min slower than a Sin - not really a reason to spend 3k/book and the time searching for a runner.

Maybe a stupid question but here goes, ATC worked like a charm but for cotnb I keep on getting rezzed by one of the hench monks.
Ofcourse it could be, very well might be, that I let the mandagors kill me instead of saccing because I am not sure what skill is used for this.
