In addition to Triia's 3, I request a zone in Luxonville! I need 1k more faction and since we get goodies from vanquishing this weekend, I thought it a good combo. Of course I'll probably start it as soon as I get on this evening (and I aim for that to be early) so post if you need me to wait!

[Triia]

Well, it's only two now. Lornar's and Spearhead.

[Jupiter]

OK, I was thinking about doing Ft Aspenwood on the Luxon side. That should be enough and won't take so much time.

[Khunlin]

So, some night soon (we should probably get at least one PvP night in this weekend, before Trip and I go insane? ) shall we rev up some fancy, proper DoA build (the kind that can do all four zones in 2-3 hours) and drag Triia through in style?

Agreed. We can't leave our Fearless Leader behind

(I hope there's a monk in that build)

Alrighty, time for Mallyx!
There are two things that we're not sure of, as far as I know... whether or not Mallyx can be knocked down and whether or not Kiwi/Triia can leave right before Mallyx dies (as a timing thing, not a logistics thing)
So I'm trying to figure out how to set up the teams so that we're not screwed if something goes wrong...
We have:
-Kaiser: Ele and Dervish
-Jupiter: Ranger and Monk
-Triia: Ranger and some questtaking ineptitude *cough*
-Kiwi: Monk and a... oh wait! HE ONLY HAS A MONK!
-Mura: Ranger and Monk, if I'm not mistaken? Or just monk? Did your ranger finish?
-Khunlin: Ele and Imbagon

If Mallyx can be knocked down (either we find out during the first run, or I ask around in DoA for a while), then I think running two of our Rangers with Expert's Dexterity turret builds (with Needling Shot for the second half of the fight ) and Great Dwarf Weapon would make that fight easy-peasy. But then again, if he can't be knocked down, we're stuck with two Rangers on one team
I'm pretty sure that Earthbind breaks anti-KDness on monsters (you can KD giants and stuff within range)... so that might work... bah. Dunno.

Any ideas?

[Triia]

I looked around briefly and couldn't find much. I found this video and noticed that they were using GDW towards the end with the big guy but I don't know if it was for him or for the minions.

[Khunlin]

Hmmm... in that video, it doesn't look like he's getting KD'ed much. When I watched an Ursan one earlier, it looked like they were KD-locking him, so I made these builds.

But if it doesn't actually work, they'll need tweaking. (Probably do already... I know the Mind Blasters won't have much energy )
... either build could use more Paragons

[mura]

I just have the Monk. Ranger needed Veil (forgot to take the quest when we did it) and City.

As for Mallyx, yeah---he can be knocked down. We basically bum rushed him and kept spamming ursan skills.

...and an important thing to note is pre Mallyx you have to keep some snake alive (I think) while mobs representing each area come for us. He has to perform some ritual to get you by him.

[Kaiser]

Couple of suggestions...use lightbringer signet to charge up save yourselves quicker, and switch out word for glimmer. Spammable healing is nice since we can't use enchantments. You could also put in a Rit healer or a spirit spammer for protection. Lively was naomei is a nice party res, and it has the benefit of also being a self res.

Old threads ftw!


For any of you who may have missed it.
And now for the organizing!
Post duplicate mini's you are willing to swap for others you need, and if you're looking for vanquishing buddies or whatever.

I have an extra undedicated (or undereducated as the spell check suggests) Forest Minotaur, Dryder and Elemental Flowstone. If you see any dups in my b-day list that you need, let me know and I'll look for them. I did give my 2nd fire imp away already.

And not that we need more close-to-impossible things to do in GW, but I could use some Glint's challenge buddies and we need to kill Duncan!

Also, btw, if you can't dedicate a mini or other item, check to make sure you have a tapestry there when that character's personal progress is displayed. That seemed to solve the issue for me!

[Triia]

I have a whole bunch of duplicates:

- Siege Turtle
- Juggernaut
- Thornwolf
- Temple Guardian
- Pig
- Rot Wallow (I think)
- Abominations X2
- Celestial Tiger
- Kveldwulf (that's according to my table. I'm not certain I have it, though)

I believe that's all of them, but I could be wrong.

Jupiter, if it isn't already spoken for, I'd love a Flowstone Elemental.

[mura]

After looking at mine, I figured with my second account I'd just go to prize rank 20 since it's mostly casters, and I doubt dervish/paragons are gonna carry over. So it's just raising one more phoenix to 20.

Edit for...I just tried doing a cartographer with TexMod + vanquishing an area at the same time; I highly dislike it. Especially in Tyria. So not going to bother maxing so many more titles for Champion of the Gods. Legend of the Mists sound much cooler, in my own opinion. .-.

So my ele will probably be just maxing all the Protector/Guardians.

Getting rank 3 zaishen. And...finishing off getting Kurzick to rank 4 since it's almost there.

As for mini-pets, I have a Siege Turtle undedicated. But that's about it duplicate wise (undedicated) at present until I see if it changes in a month with my Dervish/Paragon's shared birthday.

There's quite a few gold/green undeds needed, but I'm mostly shooting for commons/uncommons to fill up the mini-pet HoM points.
And there's quite a bit since my 5th birthday doesn't start for another 4 months on my characters.

Only whites needed are:

• Abomination
• Cobalt Scabara
• Fire Drake
• Heket Warrior
• Mandragor Imp
• Necrid Horseman
• Ophil Nahualli
• Quetzal Sly
• Scourge Manta
• Seer
• Shard Wolf
• Siege Devourer
• Summit Giant Herder
• Terrorweb Dryder

Purples:
• Burning Titan
• Candysmith Marley
• Charr Shaman
• Elf
• Freezie
• Flowstone Elemental
• Jora
• Kirin
• Nian
• Nornbear
• Oola
• Ooze
• Palawa Joko
• Ventari

I have quite a few dedicated ones that I never use. So that's probably all I could offer as a trade. Since a mini siege turtle shouldn't be too enticing.
