Just for the record if you're a monk or necro, 55ing with Spoil Victor lets you kill absolutely everyone with no problem. I've run this so many times now I can do it in my sleep.

whats the reward for this tournament?

rep and some silly crown?

*/Rt kills everything, it takes setup time for 5 or 6 spirits and then 3-5 seconds for the spirits to completely gank anyone.

Thank you Kenwryll for your Oath Shot build idea! However I was having so much trouble with Alesia and her stupid Healing Hands -.-.

So I tweaked your build and this one works wonders! Against M. Bison too.

[skill]Oath Shot[/skill][skill]Pain[/skill][skill]Bloodsong[/skill][skill]Shadowsong[/skill][skill]Disenchantment[/skill][skill]Dissonance[/skill][skill]Painful Bond[/skill][skill]Throw Dirt[/skill]

Same attributes as Kenwryll's bar. 14 Expertise. 12 Communing and 8 Channeling.
With M. Bison simple set up your spirits in a line. Run in and cast Painful Bond. He'll use his signet. It's too fast for Dissonance, but by the time it's attack reaches M. Bison it would have interrupted his Bear Form attack. Just keep the spirits up thats all.

Happy Token Farming.

I beat him, with a Warrior using Deadly Riposte, Grenth's B.

However I was lucky not to get some of those necros... ouch...

I faced Gwen at lv5 though and unleashed an ebon sin at her to take the first signet.

I'm guessing this tourney is not very warrior friendly

wilderness · Aug 25, 2007, 11:47 AM // 11:47

I used the following build with my warrior:

[skill]Sever Artery[/skill]Necrosis[skill]Plague Touch[/skill][skill]Final Thrust[/skill][skill]Auspicious Parry[/skill][skill]Riposte[/skill][skill]Deadly Riposte[/skill][skill]Healing Signet[/skill]

The only contestant I found I couldn't beat with it was Mhenlo (I just couldn't out damage his heal, and my ripostes were useless), so I had to restart a couple of times, but it took down Magni just fine. Melee = dead with no effort and worked against all casters: I hit with sever, then stood back and alternated Necrosis/Heal Sig until they dropped (moving out of any localized AOE).

Bison Cup. Look back along this thread to find an image.

don't even bother with oath shot

Run to just outside aggro ring of any arena opponent, spam spirits 1-5, if it's an opponent that uses enchants put up disench, apply painful, wait 2 seconds, win.

Vs bison put up shadowsong instead of disenchant. The entire tournament takes about 3 minutes with this bar, primary class is totally irrelevant.

Edit: The last few seconds of the movie don't play unless you click back to earlier in the movie and then click again to right near the end. I have no idea why.

psycore · Aug 25, 2007, 02:01 PM // 14:01

pretty much what i did, used the bonus staff run just outside agro summon vampirism / pain / wanderlust and shadowsong then tap them with the staff and step back and let the spirits do the work.

Magni takes a tad longer but you can run around and summon spirits while he is trying to figure out who to attack.

By the way my primary is paragon so there is no excuse that you cant do it!
(well maybe you dont have factions >_>)

If you dont have the wanderlust spirit just head straight out north from zin ku corridor and kill the temple guardian boss who is past the bridges.

Toutatis · Aug 25, 2007, 02:48 PM // 14:48

Interrupt Magni's bear form. It raises his health and gives his attacks against you an extra punch. Prevent him from using it and he's just a big ol' teddybear

Ctb · Aug 25, 2007, 02:59 PM // 14:59

I give up. I'm trying the Grenth's Balance trick with a warrior and now every single freaking time I've gone in I can't even get to him because I keep going up against Eles, Rangers, and Rits that just keep me perpetually blinded.

Farking Rit was ridiculous. Blinded me and then took the opportunity to set up a couple spirits, Painful Bond, and then just let them slap the crap out of me.

Ugh. This is not worth the time it's taking. I'm going back to boxing.

Don't remember attributes. Just keep him crippled the whole time, the degen will eventually kill him.

Edit: I'm sure theres better builds, or even improvements for this one, but it worked for me.

Yea... it's not working so well for me. I might try to get my vanguard rank up to make the ebon assassin stronger. I keep getting wrecked by eles and mesmers. FoR isn't healing me well enough, so it is hard to survive against that sort of stuff. I may try troll unguent since I have points in wilderness survival for the poison tip sig. Anyone else have a para build that worked well?

Eaiser said than done. His bear form takes like 1/2 the time to cast than other norns.

Try the build I mentioned above. You use PT to rid yourself of blind then hit with sever and take down with Necrosis.

Easy

Nope, the AI is too predictable once you attack him the first thing he would do is activating his bear form, also if you apply conditions/hexes the first thing he would do is activating his purge signet. If you have experience as interrupt ranger or mes (which is not common in PvE) it should be an easy task.

worked wonders for me. As for the battles before him, the majority of them should be easy. The dangerous ones are anyone with excessive degen or constant low damage. In both cases you should just be able to out damage them.

This looks like an awesome build. Thanks!

I had a lot of trouble against the earth ele, first time around. His health went up SUPER fast, and I had trouble doing a lot of damage against him. Also the Mac/Joe combination I'm glad I only got once, because Joe just interrupts me.

For the most part, with my air ele I have no trouble getting to the last guy, and then I run out of energy before I can beat him.

TechnoSword · Aug 25, 2007, 04:56 PM // 16:56

The warrior build on the first page is really helpful I managed to beat Bison for once XD, the skills are really useful too I replaced final thrust with the shout that caused deep wound and cracked armor, and the other one with the 4 adreneline and cant be blocked. For eles, mesmers and what not, i just stand there and do nothing until they hit me to 100 dmg, then i use doylak and the number goes down and down, around 30-60 i use grenths and that takes em to about half and then i use the shout for deep wound and cracked armor and start attacking and usually its gg.

lol for mhenlo i waited till my hp was at 13 and thank god i actually got him!

Is this the Norn Fighting Tournament? Because if it is, guildwiki said it unlocks the ritualist and dervish heroes. Here is what it said:

Ogden Stonehealer - Dwarven Monk (unlocked after completing What Lies Beneath)
Vekk - Asuran Elementalist (unlocked after completing What Lies Beneath)
Gwen - Human Mesmer (unlocked at the Eye of the North)
Jora - Norn Warrior (unlocked after completing Northern Allies)
Xandra - Human Ritualist (unlocked via Norn Fighting Tournament)
Kahmu - Human Dervish (unlocked via Norn Fighting Tournament)

Any info will be appreciated!

silvia_littlegirl · Aug 25, 2007, 07:08 PM // 19:08
