User:Agira/Mission:The Eternal Grove

It's heroes team build to complete The Eternal Grove mission in HM.

Player
Player must use typical SoS build + Pain Inverter (in this link you can find SoS build for any profession) if you not ritualist get ritualist as sub profession.

Example of my Paragon's build for this mission: [build prof=P/Rt name="M-TEG P Player" cha=12 spe=2+1+1 comma=8+1 lea=10+1][Essence Strike][Bloodsong][Vampirism][Signet of Spirits][Agony]["Fall Back!"][Pain Inverter][Summon Spirits (Kurzick)][/build]


 * Essence Strike is one of best ritualist energy gain skills + dmg, it works great on PvE, I use it allways on my ritualist character build! It allows to summon spirits much more frequently.
 * At western and northern turtle possible to run very near turtle hill which blocks all ranged damage which do luxon rangers and to use Agony to drain turtle and rangers hp util Pain Inverter will recharge. Much more hard is Southern turle.

3x Heroes - Minion Masters
[build prof=N/Mo name="M-TEG Necro" death=7+3+1 sou=7+1 cur=10+1 hea=11][Spiteful Spirit][Reckless Haste][Animate Bone Horror][Animate Vampiric Horror][Dwayna's Sorrow][Heal Area][Heal Party][Resurrection Chant][/build]

Used Spiteful Spirit elite skill for more damage, so still necro needed to produce lots of minions, best skill with low energy cost and fastest recharge it's Animate Bone Horror.

2x BP Heroes
[build prof=R/Rt name="BP Hero" bea=1+1 exp=11+2 mar=10+3+1 cha=10][Barrage][Distracting Shot][Savage Shot][Lightning Reflexes][Splinter Weapon][Call of Protection][Comfort Animal][Flesh of My Flesh][/build]

Soul Twisting Rit Hero
[build prof=Rt/Mo name="Soul Twisting Rit" com=12+3+1 cha=9+1 spa=9+1][Soul Twisting][Shelter][Displacement][Union][Splinter Weapon][Armor of Unfeeling][Boon of Creation][Restore Life][/build]

SoGM Rit
[build prof=Rt/Mo name="SoGM Rit" hea=3 com=12+3+1 spa=12+1][Signet of Ghostly Might][Pain][Shadowsong][Disenchantment][Anguish][Signet of Creation][Boon of Creation][Restore Life][/build]

Tactics
To complete this mission require to guard both gates, for this require to split your team 3 heroes (1st 3 heroes flags) - ( 1 Necro, 1 BP Ranger, Soul Twisting rit) go to left gate, all else team (team flag) go to right gate. So player must ping and to support both teams with spirits - spirit range is enought to keep 2 sets of him spirits, but main player mission is to shutdown turtles using Pain Inverter, normally if you lucky turtle die from first time, but sometimes require to cast Pain Inverter 1-2 times.

Trick with afflicted assault
To trigger cinematics don't require to wipe all turtles but just some, typically per 2 waves come 6 turtles, 3 per 1 wave. So require to kill 1st wave turtles and if i good remember to kill just 2nd wave western turtle to trigger cinematic. If you don't kill all turtles and cinematic will trigger - these alive turtles will help against afflicted siege, they will fight in your side! So in this way possible to make more easy afflicted siege.

Juggernauts
Very big help can do juggernauts, just once touch they and they will follow you!
