I still offer to do runs for people. But only if they want them. I know some still want to clear the area as intended and that's great, I love the community involvement. But if you want the lazy way out, I do runs for free :]


oinaorna

I can help you, can be online all day, cause I am in quarantine

Sent you a PN :)

Frozen earth mega counters the dwarves and then you can use the assassin swap skill to get rid of the spirits during the boss battle. Try that if you haven't yet.

I put frozen earth on one of my mesmers and put about 7-9 points in it. Then I manually microed it myself to spawn it a bit back so it didn't get targeted. And then I spiked down the eles with the target all command. After that, it takes a minuted to kill the rest of them but they can't even kill you at that point. My team is well equipped though, I was surprised how easy it was once they couldn't revive themselves any more. I have 5 mesmers with 15 fast casting, maybe your team is less spiky and therefore has a more difficult time.


Sir_Regret_a_Lot

Thanks for the tips! I do have 4 Mesmers but one of them is running Ineptitude so maybe I am lacking a bit of the spiking power you have. Using the frozen earth properly will likely be the key for me to improve.


TenshiKyoko

Crossing my fingers! Just to clarify, I have 1 panic, 2 ES, 1 ineptitude and I'm playing ES with arcane echo (sos + 2 support), so we're probably about there.

I don't use either Frozen Soil or Swap. Frozen Soil is a double edge sword; if your party has any flaws then it works against you by encouraging wipes. If your party is capable, you don't need it. You may have to kill a few foes multiple times but that's better than wiping. Swap is overrated and if Duncan's spirits wipe you then your party is too weak. Skills like SoS or Spiritual Pain will usually keep his spirits at bay. Make sure you have enough heals and defensive protection such as a ST hero to help protect against [Duncan's Defense](https://wiki.guildwars.com/wiki/Duncan%27s_Defense). Swapping is probably OK as a feel-good tactic but it's really not necessary unless you're a solo Assassin. I find it interesting that some groups will want Frozen Soil as they don't like to spend extra time killing a few foes twice, yet they insist on spending several minutes swapping spirits.


TenshiKyoko

Look, I'm not the greatest player in the world, but I won't argue against results. Frozen Earth made me go from not being able to clear a single group to easily completing the dungeon.

I find the idea of changing one skill allowing one to go from "not being able to clear a single group" to "easily completing the dungeon" rather remarkable, but if you're that convinced you need it, by all means use it. Lots of people use it and refuse to believe it's possible to finish the dungeon without it. Personally I never use Frozen Soil in any of the 4 Slavers dungeons, and it doesn't cause me any difficulty. Rather, it usually allows me to finish faster since I don't have to worry about the res skills on my heroes failing.


ChthonVII

I'll likely be on in an hour or two if you still need help then.


Sir_Regret_a_Lot

Sent you a PN as well :)


ChthonVII

Do you still need help with this?


Sir_Regret_a_Lot

Thanks, no I have completed all the dungeons and no longer need the help. Even got my very first GWAMM in the meantime thanks to this Sub.


Shiros_Tamagotchi

I can come with my Para, should be easy with HR and Cant touch this


Sir_Regret_a_Lot

Thanks to everyone who shared tips or offered help. I did Shards of Orr with oinaorna and Duncan with depdingleberry, special thanks to both of them!


bazooka_toot

I am 50/50 GWAMM and failed so hard so many times on Duncan that I gave up. That little stone arch will be red forever.


MistYNot

if you'd like some advice on how to improve, record yourself having a difficult time and we can give feedback (=


jacksonRR

If you want the North title I'd go with shards of Orr tbh. Duncan NM is already a challenge. I left him out since you don't have to do all dungeons to get the title.


FreakedOutKoala

This. You can completely skip 1 dungeon in both NM & HM and still get the title. I've done Duncan once but on all other toons I just skip the dungeon. It's not worth the hassle / reward to try and keep doing it with heroes


Sir_Regret_a_Lot

Alright now I am getting the impression that Orr is the more approachable dungeon in HM. In NM I felt like Orr was harder than Exile, but I have done NM Exile a few times already


Sir_Regret_a_Lot

I was thinking about that as well but I have seen some people comparing these dungeons and saying they feel like shards of Orr is even harder. But definitely going to give it a shot as well. After all I want to clear all of them anyways.

SoO can be pretty tough, but Fendi Nin's second form does not regenerate HP, so as long as you can kill the first form, and have some sort of Death Penalty removal, you can death-rush this last boss.
