Default Slavers dungeons/Duncan H/H/ [Merged]

Hi,

i've been experiencing some frustrations with the PUG's on the slavers dungeons cuz all people are doing is Duncan mostly.
So i was wondering if it was possible to do it H/H so i won't be frustrated with monks leaving or people complaining that it's going too slow

Yeah - H/H is possible - me and some friends are doing it that way - we're online different times so raising one party of all of us is a pain.

Seriously consider using a Sabway team for the first two/three bosses and dungeons but then think about zoning and adjusting the hench team for the last two. There are plenty of posts here on how to defeat Duncan - you may need to think that through for a H/H effort.

Being moaned at for going slowly?!?! Probably the one dungeon where that is a 'must' as a tactic!!

They are definitely henchable, particularly if you can play a obflesh tank that can grab and snare all aggro. do that, take like 3 SH eles and it works just fine.

All dungeons in Slavers' Exile, including Duncan, can be done in NM and HM with heroes and hench and without using any PvE skills or consumables. Of course whether it is feasible for any given player depends entirely on that player's buildmaking and gameplay skill.

I've finished all be Duncan in NM using H/H, and without tanking either; just straight-up damage and defense.

W/P Triple chop/save yourselves, SS, Dom mes, SoD prot monk + Cynn, Herta + Lina + Mhenlo.

You can do it with a good build alone, but good tactics will of course work too.

Thank you all for the advice, I was able to finally H/H my way through the entirety of Slavers Exile slowly but surely as I got time over the last month, with Duncan himself being taken down yesterday morning.

Advice I would give anyone meaning to try this, Ursan is not at all necessary. People have mentioned that Frozen Soil is optional, but I doubt that is true for H/H. Even if it is, it sure makes life a lot easier. Among the steps leading up to Duncan, Forgewight gave me the most trouble. Should I go through that again I will save my consumables for the forgewight dungeon rather than Duncan. As long as you sweep for restless dead, Duncans branch is a breeze.

I have a question for those that have done this more than once, to get credit for completing the dungeon on Hard Mode, do you simply have to complete the Duncan wing on Hard Mode or clear the whole place?

Just Duncan.

You can do the other 4 bosses in NM and then pound Duncan in HM.

I H/Hed Slavers in normal mode and hard mode, but it got extremely tedious and I'd never do it again (at least in hard mode). In theory though, it's not that complicated:

- Kill 2x Monk groups
- Deal with hard resses
- Survive while doing the above

If you want to test your build/tactics, go to Vlox Falls, head into Vloxen Excavations and run east where there's a bunch of Stone Summit guys for you to kill (including a 2x Monk, 2x hard res group I think).

I've done all except duncan so far with just H/H. Ran a slightly modified sabway. I found taking frozen soil was helpful to stop the dwarves from just popping back up as you kill them.

Other than that just some fairly decent ability to pull/position yourself properly and it isn't overly hard. i actually found a few of the other dungeons harder than this one.

Well in actuality for HM all that has to be done is Duncan's dungeon to get the credit for it. The other 4 bosses can be done in NM if you desire.

I have been working on getting through this dungeon. I got through 2 of the sub dungeons ok... but Forgewight has me stuck. I can get up to the gate lock (having gotten the key) but I can't get past the mobs after that. I can't manage to get the Cleaver and Dominator in that first group dead at the same time, and Frozen Soil keeps getting killed.

Basically, I am a Dervish Primary, Ranger secondary for frozen soil. I use my basic build with the addition of Pain Inverter, and this build has gotten me though every other dungeon in EoN.
I have been running the most recent version of Sab's necros, and bringing Lo Sha, Mhenlo, Herta, and Lina.

What can I do? I am ok with multiple deaths... I just want to get past this.

Have any template codes for those heros?

I'd post your guys way back, and have only yourself go in to take the aggro first.

Otherwise as soon as you open that door, they'll rush your backline and it's game over.

Got it after several different builds and party wipes. Turns out the trick was the Power Block build I'd stuck on Gwen.

So what it finally ended up being was My dervish build, PowerBlock hero, SS necro hero, and a Rit healer hero, along with Cynn, Herta, Lina and Mhenlo.

I got an Onyx gemstone from the chest.

Now for Duncan.
