Guild Wars 2

Hi all!
which is better for faster runs to pick hospital or orphanage?

Hospital from what I understand.

Hospital. i war it. i find its easiest for me to run in right away kill the two shooters on left stairs, then use GS 4,3 thru center, thenkill two shooters on stairs then clear. GL!

p.kitten Ted first to get agro and u can pull him into Blaze since he damages the engi.

Orphanage is really easy, too, especially on guardian. But I prefer hospital.

I do Orphanage w/ Staff Guardian. Kill most everything from outside before breaking door.

I’ve only done three or four key runs, but the occasion I chose orphanage went badly enough that I’ve decided to stick to the hospital for the foreseeable future. Using staff ele, if it makes a difference.

Orphanage with guardian with staff.
With a warrior, I’d probably prefer hospital.

I’ve done both and maybe it’s my imagination but the mobs seem more aggressive with the orphanage one. They seem to be more likely to leave the building and to attack harder. I’m very rarely downed with the hospital one but it’s happened a couple of times with the orphanage.

That saying, the orphanage one you can attack and kill through the walls. So it’s easier that way.

I’ve only done orphanage, but using a staff guard with good armor, 3 diff power runes & a bloodlust sigil it’s eaaaasy. Especially, as Brother Grimm said, if you attack through the wall without breaking the door. You can also use symbol of swiftness on the wall itself and it’ll damage enemies in the room beyond. Then, you can jump on the bunk beds on the second level and use empower while the guards and your symbol of swiftness kill Ted.

Orphanage and Hospital are about the same, depending on how you are geared and your play style.

• Orphanage is a smaller space. With AOEs and cleaves, you can tackle multiple foes and, as noted, guardian can attack through the walls.
• The larger arena for the hospital makes it easier to kite and the NPC allies do a better job of fighting imo.

I recommend Hospital if you tend to use vitality stats or otherwise find yourself dying often during this stage. I recommend Orphanage if you do high DPS and know how to ball up the foes.
