User:AV/First City Duo

This team build is meant to clear Fahranur, The First City in Hard Mode, for an array of sought-after weapons, such as Fellblades, Brute Swords, Dead Swords, and Ancient Shields. The team consists of:
 * 1 Rt/Me VwK Tank
 * and 1 Mo/Any Bonder.

VwK Tank
[build prof=Rt/Me rest=12+1+3 insp=12][Arcane Echo][Vengeful Was Khanhei][Vengeful Weapon][Soothing Memories][Mend Body and Soul][Mending Grip][Channeling][Flesh Of My Flesh][/build]


 * Armor: Max AL Radiant (or Oracle's) with a Restoration Headwrap and a Superior Restoration Rune. Runes of Attunement on all other pieces.
 * Weapon: A Spiritgarden's Repose or an Alem's Remedy.


 * You can also use Wielder's Boon instead of Mending Grip for its shorter recharge time.

Bonder
[build prof=Mo/Me prot=12+3 smit=12+1+3 insp=3][Life Bond][Succor][Retribution][Zealous Benediction][Mending Touch][Mantra of Signets][Blessed Signet][Rebirth][/build]
 * Armor:Max AL Radiant with a Protection headpiece, superior Protection rune, and minor Divine Favor rune.
 * Weapon: A Kepkhet's Refuge or Yakslapper.

Usage

 * Bond up immediately! You will want to take out the patrol that begins in front of the door immediately before they escape and come back to kill the monks.
 * Cast in this order: Channeling -> Arcane Echo -> Aggro -> VwK -> Spam Vengeful Weapon -> Use heals as needed -> They DIE!
 * Prot Bonder won't have to heal here. Not enough damage was taken if any. He/she won't have to until the last patrol. He/she should use Mending Touch to get rid of the cripple on the tank, and continue to do so throughout the run.
 * Move on across the bridge and own the next 2 patrols and get out of there (on towards Fahrahnur), or another patrol will come before you are recharged.
 * Continue on the path until you reach a group with Skale Blighters and Frigid Skales. This is the hardest part.
 * Tank should suit up and move in. Once the aggro is held on the tank, the prot monk should come and help out with ZB. These skales put on some heavy damage.
 * Once they die, run under the giant pulverizer-thing (without dying) and have the bonder stand just inside to the right of it.
 * Tank should suit up and aggro all 3 groups present in front of you. These are the easiest battles since they are undead and you have Retribution.
 * The rest is history... Just go on like this until you have cleared the city.
