General Usage

 * Upon entering the zone, use any maintained enchantments and [[Vocal Was].
 * Use [[fall back@16] and [[incoming@16] to run to the boss.
 * Before entering the boss group, use [[Vigorous Spirit@16] -> [[healing breeze@16], [[prot spirit@13] -> [[spell breaker@16], and [[Enduring Harmony@4] -> [[make haste@16] -> [[find their weakness@16] -> [[fall back@16]/[[incoming@16].
 * Flag your heroes out of radar range to prevent them from splitting drops.
 * Run in, use your skills on the boss, and collect drops.

Warrior

 * Chor the Bladed - Take the SV necro with the prot setup and [[pain inverter]. If starting from Nundu Bay, only the paragon is needed.  If starting from Dajkah Inlet (which is slightly faster), bring the SB monk and bring [[godspeed@16] on the paragon.  Use the paragon and monk heroes to run through the initial few groups, then use your own skills to kill the boss.  If Chor spawns with 3 other melee, be sure to auto-attack every now and then to prevent scatter.
 * Riktund the Vicious - Take the assassin with [[frenzy], [[i am unstoppable], and [[i am the strongest]. Take the smite monk hero.  When fighting Riktund, if the beetles still are aggroed to you, try to avoid stacking attack skills as this will cause the beetles to use [[distracting shot].
 * Saevio Proelium - Take the SV necro with Vision of Despair's group. Stay in between that group and the Titan group on your right and go up the hill.  Once the Vision of Despair's group patrols away, slip behind it and kill the boss.

Ranger

 * Johon the Oxflinger - Take the Assassin with [[frenzy], [[i am the strongest], and [[wastrel's collapse] and the smite hero. Flag your heroes across the lake to help to prevent them from getting Frozen Ground on them.  Once across the lake, cast skills, flag your heroes away, and kill the boss.
 * Chehbaba Roottripper - Take the SV necro with [[shield of absorption@10], [[shielding hands@10], [[i am unstoppable], [[balthazar's spirit], [[vampiric touch@15], and [[awaken the blood@15] instead of [[blood renewal@15]. Make sure to never attack the boss as this may trigger vengeful weapon, instantly killing you.  Note, you can bring the optional smite monk with [[Shield of judgment@16] because the yeti bosses are immune to knockdown.

Mesmer

 * Eshim Mindclouder - Can be done with either the assassin with [[frenzy], [[i am the strongest], and [[ebon battle standard of honor] or the SV necro with every offensive skill you want and [[mystic regeneration@6]. Note that this is probably the easiest boss to do and is great for practice.
 * Bezzr Wingstorm - Use the assassin with [[frenzy], [[i am the strongest], and [[ebon battle standard of honor]. Bring the smite hero.  Watch out that sometimes the group that you run through may have a spirit of disenchantment up before you go in, so try to have the enchantment on top be non-essential like [[healing breeze] or [[judges insight].
 * Yammiron, Ether Lord - Use the assassin with [[frenzy], [[i am the strongest], and [[dodge this] or [[ebon battle standard of honor] if you are confident that the beetles will break aggro. The smite monk is not necessary but is helpful.
 * Kenrii Sea Sorrow - Take the assassin with Sourbeak Rotshell's group to patrol away. Then, move out a bit from the wall before engaging the boss as to avoid the oni popups.  You must have completed Cleansing Silent Surf for this farm to be possible.
 * Waray Skullflayer - Use the assassin with [[frenzy], [[i am the strongest], and [[i am unstoppable] and the smite monk. Stick to the far left side and get as close to the boss as you can before using the monk skills.
 * Neoli the Contagious - Use SV necro with the prot setup and [[pain inverter]. Take [[awaken the blood@15] in place of [[blood renewal@15] and [[finish him] in place of [[prot spirit@10].  Make sure to stay away from the kournan spotter, but don't worry if he follows you unless the rest of the kournan group comes.

Monk

 * Flame of Fervor - Use the assassin with [[Balthazar's spirit], [[strength of honor@10], [[i am the strongest], and [[critical agility] in place of [[critical eye@15]. Go around to the right once you zone to avoid all enemies and remember your lightbringer title.  Using a smite monk will increase damage, but will make managing energy difficult.
 * Chidehkir, Light of the Blind - Use the assassin with [[frenzy], [[i am the strongest], and [[ebon battle standard of honor]. Bring a smite monk and start from the Sunspear Sanctuary.

Elementalist

 * Setikor Fireflower - Use the SV necro with [[shield of absorption@10], [[shielding hands@10], [[pain inverter], [[finish him], and [[balthazar's spirit].
 * Arbor Earthcall - Use the SV necro with as many offensive skills as you want and a low spec [[prot spirit@6] in case he doesnt die fast enough. Remember to stay away from him until he is dead to avoid triggering the popups.
 * Exuro Flatus - Use the assassin with [[Balthazars spirit], [[i am the strongest], [[critical agility], and [[ebon battle standard of honor] in place of [[critical eye@15].
 * Birneh Skybringer - Use an assassin with [[frenzy], [[i am the strongest], and [[ebon battle standard of honor]. If you are forced to run through a group, run through the heket group and use [[fall back@16] and [[incoming@16] together to break aggro.

Necromancer

 * Shelboh the Ravenous - Use the dagger assassin with [[ebon battle standard of honor], [[frenzy], and [[i am the strongest]. If the insect group spawns in your way, use [[prot spirit@13] on yourself and use [[incoming@16] and [[fall back@16] together to get through.
 * Sourbeak Rotshell - Use the dagger assassin with [[i am the strongest], [[frenzy], and [[i am unstoppable]. It helps to have completed Cleansing Silent Surf before doing farming him.

Assassin

 * Xuekao, the Deceptive - Use the SV necro with the prot setup and [[pain inverter]. Use your heroes to run through the Jade Brotherhood by using 2 speed boosts together.  Then use your skills to kill Xuekao.  Close to the time he dies, [[Spell Breaker@16] will wear off and you will become subject to high health degeneration.  Consider using a 105 or 135 health set to give you more time to pick up your drops.

Ritualist

 * Tomton Spiriteater - Take the SV necro with [[shield of absorption@10], [[shielding hands@10], [[i am unstoppable], [[balthazar's spirit], [[vampiric touch@15], and [[awaken the blood@15] instead of [[blood renewal@15]. Make sure to never attack the boss as this may trigger vengeful weapon, instantly killing you.  Note, you can bring the optional smite monk with [[Shield of judgment@16] because the yeti bosses are immune to knockdown.

Dervish

 * Dabineh Deathbringer - Use the SV necro with the prot setup, [[pain inverter], and [[i am unstoppable] in place of [[prot spirit@10]. Start from Venta Cemetary and bring [[godspeed@16] on the paragon.  At the start, use the maintained enchantments and use [[vigorous spirit@16] on the paragon so he is enchanted for [[godspeed@16].  Run in between the groups of Ntouka which will probably aggro some Tusked Hunters.  Use [[prot spirit@16] on yourself and [[godspeed@16] with another speed boosts to break aggro from the Tusked Hunters.  Then get close to the boss on the left side, use the skills on yourself, and kill the boss.  Note that if there are 2 healers in his group, he may not be killed.
 * Bubahl Icehands - Use the SV necro with the prot setup, [[pain inverter], and [[awaken the blood] in place of [[prot spirit@10].

Paragon

 * Jishol Darksong - Take the SV necro with a low spec [[shielding hands@3], [[pain inverter], [[vocal minority@15], [[i am unstoppable], and [[balthazars spirit]. You may need to flag your heroes using the mission map ("u" map) to get them far enough away.
 * Eshau Longspear - Take the SV necro with the prot setup and [[pain inverter] where [[shield of absorption@10] is replaced with [[you move like a dwarf]. Bring [[godspeed@16] on the paragon.  Use the heroes to run through the insects and mandragor.  If any of the mandragor don't break aggro from you having [[make haste@16] and [[godspeed@16] on you, use [[you move like a dwarf] to snare them.  Once the boss gets to low health, try to interrupt one of the healers skills with [[you move like a dwarf] to finish him off.
