I'm having trouble vanquishing grothmar wardowns...I've tried discord and sab and neither have worked for me...i brought healer, prot, fire, and earth hench. Sab was fine but there wasn't enough dmg and heals to counter the spike of aoe. Discord, the healers or mesmers of groups would removes conditions or hexes making it impossible to do damage (discord needs hex or enchant and condition). Anyone want to help me out here?

Bring Zho. She rocks the interupts.

Remember that certain things are optional in sabway based on where you are fighting. For example... in EOTN charr areas, i have the SS nec bring ward vs elements. I don't run discord there, though I'm sure some people run it everywhere.

There's a couple of things that can help with this area. First, you can do "Against the Charr" first, which when it ends puts you in the middle of the charr fortress with no enemies. This keeps you from having to fight the annoying monk boss that usually spawns there. Next, you can use the siege devourer that's found after the first bridge to the north. Consumables also help considerably, as does careful pulling of the balanced patrols. If you don't pull them a good distance away from their route, other groups will come and aggro you while you're trying to fight the first group. Try to flag your heroes out of meteor showers, and take note of which enemies have rezes and try to take them out first. I found taking mark of death on my bar helped counter the healing from menders and prophets.

I vanquished this area with a friend using a 6-hero discord build, which made it considerably easier and faster than doing it by myself, so if you have a friend who you could take that would help too. If not though, the area is totally doable with just heroes and henchies using discordway. Good luck!

1-man discordway is non-ideal for this area. I've since made improvements to my discordway, but when I tried it, it did not work for me. I've since done this area with 2-man discordway, which was a breeze, and also h/h.

If you want a challenge, it's very satisfying doing it h/h. It's not easy, but the key is AoE shutdown and AoE damage. You want to take technobabble and you want to take a SS curse hero. If you still have trouble, just do it 2-man, which makes it a breeze.
