henching hell's Precipice (mission)

Hey there.

Is it still possible? I read about ppl henching it (patiently) about a year ago, and possibly with warrior builds. Can it still be done with all the updates and stuff?

If so, what should i use? I am a R/A (I'm thinking of switching to Mo sec.) with a lvl 18 pet, winter and a bunch of other elites.

Any suggestions?

Thanks

yep.

You can do it with all henchies, and as ANY class yourself. All it takes is EXTREME patience, knowledge of good Henchy control, knowledge of Hell's Precipice mobs/aggros/patrols, and well managed pulling tactics.

Winter will definitly make it a bit ezier, but by no means is it eazy on any terms. All i can say is, good luck!

cheers!

Yep, it's henchable and yes, winter definately makes it easier.

as a ranger i used winter + greater conflagration (spelled wrong i think)
that way all dmg becomes fire, and winter makes it ice. so all dmg becomes ice
and yes its possible
i usually always hench missions

Yup... leave Cynn aside, since she lures all the mobs at the same time. Move carefully and it'll go easily. Just call targets in the end, where it's important to not attack the closest target immediately.

I did it with my ranger, but that was a lllooonnngg time ago. It did indeed take a lot of patience but it wasn't too much of a problem in the end, although I thought I'd messed up when the Lich wasn't dying and that the mission didn't seem to end after the first time I "killed" him, I dropped him eventually by the skin of my teeth. I'd say it's still possible, so good luck if you're going to try it.

It's still possible. I did it recently with my Monk while trying to cap warrior skills for my title (I had warrior secondary at the time and took took two caps - one for Eviscerate and one for Hundred Blades)

THanks...I just completed it with henches. I left cynn because i've always been irritated by how she scatters things I'm trying to kill. I brought along the mesmer though I don't know how effective he was. Anyways, it seemed fine, pulling with my longbow seemed to be effective (except for once when I pulled a big mob and had to run back until there were only a few of em). Rebirth was a big help and I got to capp and use greater conflag; Broad Head Arrow is a blessing if you can hit the sparks. it also works on the lich too.

It took me 3 tries to kill the undead lich even though I made sure he was on the circle.but i figured that as long as I kept being patient I could try as many times as necessary since I could easily dispatch those he summons.

Anyways, that's my blurb about it

Thanks for the tips.

btw...what type of bow is the stormbow (longbow, hornbow)?

its a longbow

Unlike Factions, every mission and bonus in Prophecies is easily done with henchmen if you are a good player.

All you need is:
good, careful aggro
fire at a target with a weapon

That is all. The 8th player (yourself) can do absolutely anything he wants, the henchmen are very efficient at killing stuff, far more so than most PUGs, because they all focus on one target. And provided you don't over-aggro, the monks can keep the party alive.

I always hench unless guildies/alliance/mates come with
it works

I just henched Hells on my e/mo for exploration purposes - i.e., clearing the portals beach of fog. Ran a build with earth/water wards and water dmg and it worked very well.
