Domain of Anguish?

I was browsing PvX for assassin weapon set recommendations and I found this set up for DoA

http://www.pvxwiki.com/wiki/Build:Team_-_DoA_Fast_Full_Runs

Has anyone had a go at this before, and if so how did it go?

Nope but i don't mind trying it once with that sin!!

Orders necro ready and willing (if you do this after the rep weekend

hope we can work this party,looks like fun :-)

I can run an ele or warrior

and I've been buying gemstones to finish off enough for an armbrace, so I'll need to do it eventually

i'm up for db + moebius sin instead of the first warrior if you guys wanna roll this.. \

Does Tuesday evening work for people? I might also be able to do this Saturday night, but Tuesdays would be more do-able week in week out.
I'm thinking of being online from 7pm GMT (CET 8pm, ET 3pm, PT 12am) for around 4 or 5 hours for either of those nights.

Please bear in mind that this will be a new group and I'll do my best to lead but I am by no means an expert in DoA, having mainly monked and ursaned (*spit*) my way through it. I'm hoping with our combined skills we'll be able to get a more regular run going in this elite area.

I still lack teh gems D:

still 6 Margonite, 4 Stygian, 3 Titan, 7 Torment to buy

ZOMG!! I was first!!!

I'll be able to run either monk build, or either paragon build. I'll try to get the hammer skills set on my warrior.

if i can get on i sure would like to monk it or something
but my time for gw is worse then ever
i'm getting up at 5AM everyday and getting home for dinner around 11PM and then i go to bed obviously
-.-
but its all for a good future so i can slack off and retire in my late 30's or early 40's

What are you doing in those horrendous hours?

school -> work right away
its worth it in the long run though
i'm learning a lot and should have a pretty safe future regardless of the field i enter

Our first run using this team build was a success . I think we cleared all 4 areas in about 3 hours and we had our dmg paragon dc out half way through gloom so had to do all of foundry with 7 which is always lots of fun! But we did it and it was fun, we had 7 humans and a hero running the order of pain necro build and was fun !

To improve our time I think we should run the earth shaker war as our 1 on the party list and have them take aggro so their aoe kd is the most effective, and the sin can come in 2nd and smash things.

The build in the team that makes the least sense to me is the mindblast ele build. Not sure why they are maxing out fire magic when there is only mindblast in the build which doesn't deal much damage, if you want better e-management prob better to just have more points in e-storage. The main role of the mindblast ele is to increase the party's damage by applying great dwarf weapon and splinter weapon, the damage ward, and to add additional damage to called targets. I think running deep freeze and maelstrom would be better and do more damage than running mind blast though you would need to carry glyph of lesser energy with that.

Or I think there are other builds who can do this role better than mindblast, a spirit's strength rit volley'er who can carry ancestor's rage, technobabble, Great Dwarf Weapon, and splinter weapon would up the aoe damage for sure, the big question is if they can manage their energy well enough to stay in the fight long enough, but this build could definately outdamage the mindblast ele. Or we could run a n/rt here carrying both weapon spells, the ward, technobabble, and then either curses with weaken armor, mark of pain etc or as a death magic with putrid bile, icy veins etc to give a death spike and necros have best e-management in game. Or a monk/rt as a smiter with smite sigs (sig of judgement), smite hex, smite condition, the ward, technobabble, and weapon spells, and judge's insight to put on the sin and hammer warrior to add 20% sundering to their builds. Or even a VoR mesmer/rt with weapon spells and ward as well. Those are initial thoughs of what could be better than the mind blast ele....

Also if we ran the 2nd necro it would give us 2 n/rt's vs malyx which is good for defense. It would be a bit slow going to kill through the mobs before Malyx since we would be heavy on defense and a bit light on damage but should work and we should be able to get through malyx running 2 n/rt's with shelter and xinrae's weapon for prot, and 2 WoH monks for high spot heals. Would have to grind him down a bit without enchants etc but I think we could get it done with the sin, warr, and paragon pressure.

yay
It was fun using that build

I'm definitly up for another run

i'll come with paragon, sin or ele if needed next time
