I have attempted this twice with 3 monks ( 1 hero, 2 henches, both times everyone but the monks died one by one and the monks could not res due to being knocked down. They just stood there and kept trying over and over, not even bothering to heal themselves, until they died from Abaddons damage it is about the most retarded thing I have ever seen.

It is bad enough that you have to deal with Torment Claws that just pop up in the middle of your fight with the Monoliths and can instakill you which is completely unnecessary in this mission. But trying to deal with the knock down spam that renders casters so impenitent they can't even res is just stupid.

It is like this mission was designed by someone desperate to be the biggest ahole they can be and succeeded.

I am at the point now where I am just going to remove the res skills from the heroes and give them something else since they can't use them anyway, maybe that will help.

Rage much?

I'm assuming you're using monk res skills as you have it on your monks.

The Knockdown also causes daze.

Your monk will take 16 secs just to res someone.

There is a reason people in pvp don't give monks res skills (they should be healing when the party is taking heavy dmg, not trying to res).

Ressurection signet takes 2 secs to cast and you get morale boosts every 2? mins, so they recharge often.

You might also want to build in heavy condition removal. Cautiary signet works great.

this is like the easiest mission ever...monks don't need rez EVER! not necesarry...if they must have it toss in rez sig...recharges everytime u kill 2 monoliths not hard...
claws r easy 2 evade them rape with ranged damage...
certain paragon elite comes to mind, that takes all conditions from allies and gives it to them or something..great skill specially 4 HM xD

simple as hell mission...[skill]dismiss condition[/skill] other liable option...

abbadon is rather slow with his attacks so it is not exactly difficult to mass-heal your party before he attacks again.....LoD / Heal Party good options or orison of healing works if you want a slight challenge with him!

*Closed*

There are any number of threads already detailing how to complete this mission. I can understand that you are frustrated, but raging on the MB's that whoever designed the mission was an 'ahole' is not going to get you through it faster.
