User:Xiay/Urgoz's Warren/A/E Shadow Form Tank

Intro
The tank needs to be a player really. The Tank should have the most knowledge of the Warren. The tank should pull and try to hold agro. This player should pull enemies out of the "area of effect" zones and into range of the group who will be waiting at the edge of the effects. Monks should use party heals in areas with big degen to keep the tank alive when pulling, although it can be done without. The paragon can also clear conditions should the tank walk over traps.

Ebon Vanguard Assassin Support To use on Urgoz if there are only a few other players on the party. Ebon Battle Standard of Honor Will buff your allies attacks improving the parties damage output considerably. Grasping Earth To snare the enemies if your party does not have other snares (i.e. a water magic ele).

Equipment

 * Armor - Shadow arts mask with +3 shadow arts. The rest if the amour should have attunment runes and radiant insignia
 * Weapons - Three Weapon sets is generally best:

Set one - Your main Set - A weapon with +20% longer Enchantments and +5 energy. A Totem Axe is a common weapon for this slot. An Earth Scroll (or other offhand with 12 energy) This gives high energy but also 4 pips of energy Regen.

Set two - Your very High Energy Set - The same weapon with an earth scroll that gives 12 energy +15 energy -1 energy regeneration. Use this set to cast one last spell or keep up shadow form if you messed up.

Set three - Longbow - This may be handy in some areas to pull more aggro without loosing those attacking you already.

General Usage
Keep Shadow Form up. Pull small groups at a time until your team is confident and can coordinate well. Snare foes (especially Thorn Wolves) with Grasping earth if the tank has taken it. Use Sliver Armour to kill foes. Use the Ebon Assassin on Urgoz if the tank has taken it. Get the Monk to use Heal Party when you are in Degen areas and out of range. The Paragon will clear conditions should you run over a trap or 5.

Specific Usage
Room 1 When starting the spirits should be placed at the starting location by the spirit ranger. The tank should move forwards until the hopping vampires and thought stealer's spawn. At which point the tank runs back to the back room where the party should now be waiting. Once the initial pop ups have been killed the tank can run up to the twisting bark and kill it solo with sliver amour then slowly pull the remaining mob back to where the party is waiting.

Room 2 Pull the nearest foes back then once the party has killed them, run round the second room and grab all the pop ups into a ball and sliver amour them as the party comes up to kill them.

Room 3 Option one -> Run straight at the twisting bark and sliver amour it. this can be done solo - the party hb monk should heal you if you are slow at killing the bark. Option two -> Pull a few groupes until the way to the twisting bark is clear. Then the party can run and kill it. After this the tank can sweep and clear the rest of the room which is filled with pop ups.

Room 4 Clear as usual.Make sure somone uses a Necromancer teleport to get onto the bridge and open the gate using the 2 leavers.

Room 5 Grab Thorn wolves that pop up and bring them back - the party monk should heal you. clear to halfway then the party should run across the bridge as one, beware of the hopping vampire spawns that pop behind and in front of the team.

Room 6 The party should stay at the gate while the tank sweeps and clears the left side of the room as it has underground thorn wolf pop ups.
