Slavers' Exile

[El Capitan]

This post can stay up until at least 3 other people agree to try it. If you have completed the main story section to Eye of the North (basically filling the heroes Handbook) then you can access the Elite Dungeon Salvers' Exile. When I say elite, I mean elite, heroes and Henchmen just aren't gonna cut it.

Basically can we arrange an evening / afternoon where at least 4 of us get together and try and take this dungeon down. Its supposed to be the hardest thing in PvE (along with Mallyx the Unyielding at the end of Nightfall) . should make for a good team game, its just frustrating solo!

I'm game. I'll also but all my ABing to good use.

What are we actually going to need for this?

You said something about 'Frozen Soil', either Charly or a Hero could run that. (Although with the hero you would need to have the skill disabled then manually activated).

What would be more useful then though; condition spammer, interrupt, or barrage? Squeeze a pet in there too?

What else would we need?
You're a Heal/Smite Monk. I usually run a W/A that can do a good number on monks and bosses with Caltrops and Dwarven Battle Stance. Who else we got? What do we need?

I've got a good nuker hero. My Paragon hero is useful support and attack.

Are we going to take 2 monks and that's it, or how about you as the primary healer then two smiting support monks to preserve live while dealing extra DPS. A Rt supporting healer?

ALL THESE THINGS NEED DISCUSSING!

The Stone Summit have mass resurrection so Frozen Soil is needed, but in careful usage so as not to compromise the party. On a human would be the best.

I most certainly would change my build to complete support, believe me ill be far too busy to care about smiting and dont want to get too close to the enemy anyhow.

As for your personal build you really need to have a run in the place first to get an idea I think, as I've no idea about the Warrior.

Also Nukers would be very useful, and interrupt couldnt hurt. 3 Nukers, a Barrage Ranger w/ frozen soil (charly!), 2 support monks, 1 bonder (me?), and maybe a paragon (a lot of the slaver's teams I've read about have had a paragon with anti melee shouts)

i would be well up for this, i have tryed to do it with 1 other human and we got owned after a few screens worrior works ok aslong as there is good healing well mine didnt do to bad considering the difficulty level

[El Capitan]

I have 3 Armors of Salvation, 2 Grails of Might and 3 Essences of Celerity ready to make a serious go of this dungeon!

when i tryed this i never useded any of them and considering that if we try this there will be 4 humans min with all that added stuff should make this a breeze so to speak i have lots of beefem ups i mean a whole chest of stuff i have stuff from witersday and halloween as well as eye of the north too should be easy.......................ish

Just been giving this dungeon a good going over using my existing builds and I got slaughtered.

To spice things up a little I've been on a little skill hunt and picked up enough for a decent earth magic build and it seems to be the way forward. I've been able to take out the first two bosses in slaver's and I'll be giving it another go either today or tomorrow to push on through the next.

My build consists of Earth Attunement, Aura of Restoration, Sliver Armour, Ebon Hawk, Glowstone, Eruption, Churning Earth and Sandstorm (elite)

The mass areas covered allowed me to dish out enough damage to get rid of loads of enemies in one go, and put a lot of pressure on the enemy monks - also got a hero with frozen soil (activated on my command) to control enemy resurrection.

Granted, I did get through with an almost -60% death penalty, but even then it did not effect my ability to cause mass damage to the enemy.

I AM THE MAN! - according to Nova Irenicus (Necromancer)

Finally finished slaver's exile after soloing the majority of it, I called in some support from a Necro who was up to the same point to finish off Duncan.

After much research, and an ill fated run myself, together we managed to take him down, thanks largely to tactical placement of heroes and spamming Signet of Sorrow on him. I had to take on a support role, basically spamming protective spirit on the above player and making sure he was in good health.

This was definitely THE HARDEST THING I HAVE DONE IN GUILD WARS, and the run on Duncan's stage took about an hour to complete (seemed like longer, but I took a pizza break in the middle for about an hour). Now, I have the hard decision to make on who to get the prestiige armour for!!!
