Hiya guys and gals..

After the mass nerfing Anet performed after the release of NF they forgot one thing.. nerfing that bumwank shiro in the second to last mission..

I've done this mission countless times, only to be whiped out by him in the end.. The most troublesome thing is that a team doesn't need warriors in this mission, so they won't take any.. And since I am of the warrior kind (not the noob fiery dragon sword wammo tank...) I have absolutely no chance at all to finish this mission..

I know you will now all say: " But i completed the mission" or "just try and get a good group" but it seriously didn't work out.. they just spam they need monks, blood necro, and elem spikers.. what am I to do?

(asking guildies for help won't work, noone is that far yet...)

Make a group yourself, and take like 5 warriors rest monks. Make all the warriors jump on Shiro. Then let Warrior 1 use Storm of swords, after that storm of sword ended, let warrior 2 use it, etc. very easy that way.

And take wild blow.

This is not the last mission of factions, this is in NF. There is no Storm of Swords. Basically take hero's and bring stances, make sure they are spread out away from Shiro. Bring a cripple if you need to, to stop him from running.

Look in the Elonian forum. You can get some help there.

Saying that no one wants a Warrior in this mission is bs... All groups are spamming LF WB Warrior, or something like that. You CAN do it with hench, but you need to control your henchmen and heroes if Shiro attacks them, but look in Elonian forum - I already posted a small guide on how to.

um DURRR

hes in nightfall not factions,

now to the OP , yes its hard to be a war and beat them 2 together, however make one of ur heros a prot monk. and bring wild blow for you and your war hero. and bring ele hero with mealstorm. what ever else you might think will work for the rest of the henchies. also clear the chambers by them to get there shrine bonuses and the mission bonus. helps alot

Lol, yeh no Storm of Swords...

I had to do this with players. Shiro seemed to get attached to certain partymembers more then others. For instance, any Paragon seems to be his favorite (male preferably??, Shiro is obviously ga*). Let the one he favors run around in circles, the rest should stand in the middle and use wand/bow and skill attacks. The runner should keep running, occasionally hold Z to look behind and see if Shiro is still following.
Using this strategy, degen hexes will work nicely (dont use conditions!).
Also Wastrels Worry will work nicely I think, since Shiro appears to wear the Luitenants Underwear or something similar (1/3 hex duration).

As a warrior clear the area and get all shrines then move into the middle. Put a flag in the middle and then run around and try and get it so that shiro is agrod onto you or a mele hench only (I got him stuck between me and meloni). Then use a SS/insidious/price necro to hex him while you tank the damage he deals out from impossible odds. You may want a second necro with spoil victor, I meant to do this after reading the advice before trying the mission but I accidently brought soul leach (w00t) and still managed it.

I don't think this mission needs to be nerfed, its not even the hardest mission in the game imo, that stupid save the garden one is so much harder.

Jecht Scye · Nov 05, 2006, 01:11 PM // 13:11

Here's how you do it. Get a Healing monk, a Prot Monk(EXTREMELY IMPORTANT), a nuker, an SS necro(with reckless haste), and a Spoiled Victor Necro. The rest doesn't really matter.

gg, you have one dead shiro.

Also, get help from the gods.

Blinding Flash, Wild Blow -> *yawn* What bossmob?

Count to Potato · Nov 05, 2006, 02:16 PM // 14:16

I did it with heros, i had wild blow, and my mesmer was degen/blinding flash it was really easy

akh · Nov 05, 2006, 02:27 PM // 14:27

I've done every single mission with heroes and henchies but I totaly agree that shiro mission has to be nerfed. Not because it's imposible (wild blow, wild throw ftw) but it's much harder compared to the very last mission. It doesn't make sense.

BowLad21 · Nov 05, 2006, 02:37 PM // 14:37

I defeated this mission with no warriors, just a place for my heroes and hench to stand, and long-range skills with degen. I then kited shiro non-stop for 5 minutes. Easy enough.

Amity and Truth · Nov 05, 2006, 03:03 PM // 15:03

The last mission was made to last long, to give an impression of fighting something huge and powerful. Something people asked for "hey A-Net give us Arcade Style Bossfights!".

Charqus · Nov 05, 2006, 03:05 PM // 15:05

You just need intelligent tanks to defeat shiro,
I tried the mission only once to complete it but almost lost it 3 times because of the tanks were being retards. But then after a stern word the tanks did what they should.

Loki Seiguro · Nov 05, 2006, 03:06 PM // 15:06

It's funny how some people keep mentioning Blinding Flash, when they obviously have no clue what they're talking about.

Shiro would transfer blinded from Blinding Flash to your party...

Spirit Of Azrael · Nov 05, 2006, 03:50 PM // 15:50

You fail at life. That mish is very easy.

Seltack · Nov 05, 2006, 03:51 PM // 15:51

But still, they shouldn't tone it down.

You can hench it without any difficulty, therefore its fine.

Reminds me of THK in the early prophecies days when it was actually really hard, since it's been nerfed a lot and now its super easy which is abit sad IMO
