I went thru this with several characters, this area is all about having decent interupts. If you can find a person with Practiced Stance and Choking gas, that messes up the mobs pretty good, plus standard Distracting shot and Savage shot = Full Interupt Ranger only real problems seem to occur when recharging choking gas. This mission isn't difficult with a decent group.

Not quite. You forgot a very important detail. Whoever the ANYONE is that is attacking has to be using an elemental weapon for winter to work. Winter changes elemental dmg to cold, not physical.

Create a level 1-8 Spirit, all Elemental damage is Cold damage instead. This Spirit dies after 30-126 seconds.

wow, I can't even get past Argo.

Argo + 2 other elementalists = fun!

Yeah that is true. I switched my assassin to a ranger bow build with a bunch of interupts, captured broad head arrow in the very same mission no less, and took out argos team without a problem.

Argo gave me tons of trouble until I got into the Factions way of killing the boss first (especially ele bosses) rather than last as was more the way in Prophecies

This was always my favorite mission (and probably because I thought it was one of the easiest) in Factions. Of course, that was until I just got there with my new monk this past week. No matter how I tried to explain it, PuGs just didn't get it. All Zu Hanuku requires is 1 good interrupt. As my mesmer, this was no problem, as I keep 2 or 3 on my skillbar normally (f.y.i, jade fury is a skill, not a spell, so power leech or whatever was suggested by another poster won't work). As my warrior, this was distracting blow, which should never leave a warrior's skillbar, i.m.o. After like 4 failures with PuGs as my monk, I finally took matters into my own hands. While being the only monk in the group, I equipped leech sig., and went to work. Because of the recharge, I could only get 2 of the 3 jade fury's before he was dead, but I was able to heal the other and the small amounts of damage dealt without jade fury by myself. So, what has all this tought me? This mission requires 1 person who has any clue what they're doing, and it should be beatable for masters.

Note: if you did it this weekend, it was harder because henchies blew this weekend because Nightfall preview broke their AI in a big way.
