Hi I am new to Eotn (and guild guru) and just had a question on Frostmaw's Burrow. I can't farm path to revelations yet so me and a friend were going to do Frostmaw's burrow together. Do you think we could do it with us two bringing our heroes? I don't know much about this dungeon except it offers good Norn rep so I was just wondering on how long it took and how hard it was. Thanks for help and if anyone has tips on hero builds or anything please tell me.

You can manage it. Just make sure to come really well prepared. Most likely with some DP removing stuff. It's manageable but it takes a while and you have to be very careful.

You should have no problems with two people and six heroes. If I recall correctly the worms cause knockdown when they surface so you may want to consider bringing something like Ward of Stability. Interruption is very effective at neutralizing siege attacks (and the splash damage that comes with it), and given the stupidity of hero AI when it comes to positioning, i would recommend taking some of that as well. Other than that i cannot remember anything from that dungeon, it is pretty easy overall. Hope that helps and good luck.

[inspired hex] works great on wurm bile (monster hex so inspired will recharge instantly)

o and [splinter weapon] is pretty good there to ^^

No problem, I have H/Hed it in NM and HM

Thanks guys, so I was thinking this:
Me (nuker)+vekk+Ogden+Jora
Friend (tank)+Margrid+olias+Dunkoro
Margrid goes interrupt and Olias is MM. Were debating whether or not we should switch olias for another nuke. Also should we go 2 heal monks, or 1 prot and 1 heal to help reduce wurm siege? thanks for the help.

MM is useful for that dungeon, since u can quite find lots of corpses, one monk heal and one prot would be a good idea, remember to bring some hex removal, theres one skill call "wurm bile" hurt a bit. And wish u have fun on ur farming (good try to silverwing recurve bow, if u lucky enough)

[broad head arrow] ranger with [epidemic] seriously it's epic
[divert hexes] could work too but i dunno for sure

don't bring a melee hero, you will get 4 melee npcs.

barbs and mark of pain is amazin in there.

have at least 2-3 differnet people with some kind of hex removal. the 4th floor also requires a good amount of condition removal.

bring a bow for pulling. shouldn't be too bad if you are patient enought.

thanks for the advice everyone, if you really care ill post whether or not we were successful

I'm gonna switch out Jora for Gwen probably. Anyways on a change of subject, do any of the kinslayer uniques sell for much?

Once again thanks!!

Hex removal is your friend down there. Wurm Bile is the worse hex to get, and it's spammed. In addition, there's several other nasty or just annoying hexes that get thrown about, so it's bust to just take 2 or 3 of them to cover everything. Preferably any skill that can remove hexes en masse.

When I did this with my war, I took sabway but replaced the mm with an earth ele with ward of stability. Worm bile was a pain, but theres a way to get around it. Worms have to bury again to move, and rarely burrow again if they're being attacked in melee. What i did was flag my heroes back, pull the wurms back in reach of them, then body blocked them with help of the norn. After that, ss+splinter +w/e will kill them off really easily.

I don't know if you were dong it in normal mode or hard mode but for NM I have a specific backline I take. My heros are a N/Rt splinter MM and then an N/Mo SS/hex removal and then Dunk as an HB (Mo/P) with Dwayna's Sorrow, Chorus of Resto (6 or 8 in Motivation) and at least one hex removal. I am running smite/damage for my char. Believe it or not Shield of Judgment works wonders in Frostmaw on NM. Throw SoJ on a warrior and have him run at the worm until the worm aggros on him. The worms attack as if they had SS on them.

The key is convering hex removal on more than one person, hero or otherwise.

It is an easy dungeon. Pain Inverter is your friend, especially when Worm Bile or Siege is going off. Pain Inverter + 10 minions + Worm Bile == one dead worm in about 3 seconds.

i did it easily today in NM..
Just bring an inturupter, warmongers barrage, healing monk with Mantra of Frost, a healer/warder elementalist.
You shouldn't die if you use them properly.
idk if i still have the exact builds though )=
