Hi, I've been trying to do stygian veil/gloom at DoA and couldn't do it every time I tried with the team... I always organize it, by some builds I saw with which people made it and sometimes I add some changes to improve the build to area which we are going in... I spent at least 6 hours on trying and trying and it just doesn't work. I play Obs Flesh W/E tank,take 3 monks (bonder,healer and SB protector or healer depends), ranger with symbiosis, eoe (sometimes QZ),2-3 eles depends on do we take BiP with us. 1 of eles always has deep freeze, I use ward against foes but those mobs still break aggro and hunt whole my team and kill everyone, except me I sometimes survive trying to take them at me again..

There is just too many noobs there, some use firestorm or whatever but sometimes I get good players like last time and still it just doens't work... Aggro breaks when meteor showers falls, most of them survive and go kill my teammates... Just have no idea what to do and how to complete those quests... Been playing GW half and year already and I really understand the game but this DoA is just too freaking hard.. Anyone who has done those quests or has some helpful tips help please...

Your casters are going in too close, and you're not using terrain to body block properly.

You position yourself next to the wall, with no other team members in your agro bubble.

Let all mobs gang on you reliably before any casters attack. Drop ward, let casters drop their nukes (glyph of sacrifice on one of the casters helps get down that first KD, spike trap helps as well).

In Stygian you can body/wall block every mob. In Gloom, don't attack mobs out in the open except for the ones you absolutely must (only one or two groups, an odd abysal as well). Everything else you pull to the wall, or have someone else pull to you since as ele you're a bit on the slow side.

Your casters will need to take care of the rest, by casting on the very edge of their agro bubble, not by selecting a mob, then hitting Meteor Storm (using a skill rather than positioning yourself brings you to close - it's possible to nuke about a feet or two further out than agro bubble). After casting, have them move out of range again.

The agro will only stick on you, as long as nobody is within mobs agro bubble. So you must also make sure to keep mobs on the opposite side of your backline, this way the casters are always just out of mobs range.

E - you
C - your casters

There is one problem tho.... I lure them by the wall and everything is awsome... Get SB then OF, thank for a while but then 1 time I get my glyph of concentration interupted, OF interupted, SB recharging and I die. And all die

It is quest at gloom,anyone know how to avoid those silly interupts?

I never tanked for gloom, but I don't remember interrupts being much of an issue.

If I recall correctly, you'll need SV and AV on you constantly to drain warriors of adrenaline and energy. You'll need a party member to do this, you can't yourself.

How you don't need to tank?? At first quest like 100 demons just runs in that valley and you have to keep them.. I get hit by savage shots, and get daze very often.

*I* never played a tank there. I was always the backline.
