Boreas Seaboard - The Canthan version of Thunderhead Keep

This mission pisses me off hardcore, not because it's terribly difficult, but just because the people in the town are stricken with ADD or something equivalent.

Everytime I attempt to do this mission with a "would-be" successful group, something always manages to go wrong. Just 5 minutes ago, we had a Wammo in our party that rushed everything and even brought Shield of Judgement. Needless to say, we lost before we even got past the Naga.

When I ask people to Resurrect fallen allies as soon as they see people die, they ignore it. They actually start resurrecting when there's two people left alive on the team. By then, it's too late.

Why must this game be plagued with people who can't follow directions?





Here I go again with this horrid mission. Wish me luck.

I henched this one. If I remember correctly, it's the one with the Spear? Just carry it around and let your henchmen do all the killing then whoop that bad boy out for the Level 30 monster. :]

Recap of the mission - Fight 3 clans of luxon for possesion of spear. Go down and kill giant squid

I also used henchies for this mission and the only things that were dangerous were Argo and the squid (can't remember it's name Zhu something something).
The squid uses ressurect often so just get your henchies to kill the smaller monsters he ressurects and stand next to them to charge the spear. Unleash the spear on it when its about level 4-5, waiting for it to become 'Supreme' is a waste as it only does 65 extra damage and requires about 4 more kills.

meh, Zos Shivros Channel was the outpost after the mission, my bad

I've completed the mission twice with master level.

Forget the spear, take interrupts with you, and interrupt the final boss' Jade Fury. Piece of cake that way.

Spinal shivers works wonders on him too

myself W/Mo with an IDS and a N/Me with Spinal shivers and interupts, rest henchies did this with ease

This mission is amazingly easy :P. I played as a W/E with conjour flame + hundred blades. Just get an interrupt ranger and take henchies. As long as ranger interrupts Jade Fury, the whole thing is really easy.

2 warriors, no interrupts...

so those guys were champions of luxons?
/laugh

made my decision for kurzicks even easier :P

easy mission, but we only got masters award, because we wanted to explore whole map

Like many have mentioned, bring interrupts and fighting the squid will be like hot knife through butter.

Nvm, sorted.

I did it with hench also.I recieved the Peasants award took me 1hr and 9 mins..) Anyhow took my time and made sure I had the high ground against clans .

So I joined a group, and as stated above, a team with an interrupt ranger will have no problem with this at all. I brought Broadhead Arrow, Savage, and distracting, and the kraken never got off a successful resurrection, and only one Jade Fury (I was low on energy).

If you have "Charm Animal" and no pet, you can charm the already at level 20 blue crab pets away from the first group.

Henching it is nearly impossible in some cases, but I hope to beat this mission and the game by tonight.

i have yet to get there. I am only at Arborstone

This mission hardly merits comparison to THK. First, it's ridiculously short. Second, it's ridiculously easy. Here was the build I brought for my Mesmer (I really feel that having a Mesmer in this mission is key):

Me/Mo:
Diversion
Clumsiness
Ineptitude {E}
Signet of Disruption
Power Leak
Power Return
Signet of Capture (I captured Power Leech there from one of the Luxons)
Resurrection Chant

11+4 Domination
11+1 Illusion
8+1 Fast Casting
3 Healing Prayers

The key is simply interruption. Jade Fury is cast slow enough where you should be able to keep up with interrupting it (Power Return recharges in 7 seconds). Diversion really isn't necessary, but it would come in handy using it on its Resurrect or Jade Fury if timed well. A Ranger with Savage Shot + Distracting Shot can do just as well, but having interruption is pretty much a staple in this mission. It's very easy as long as you prevent it from getting Jade Fury and Resurrect off.
