Guild Wars 2

Where can I find an arah speed run team build, which classes should I take, videos, I watched some of strife’s videos but they seem outdated, as in there’s someone who does it better than strife, and I’m also looking for a video guide for all paths, also what builds should the classes that I take use, etc…

Well, unless you’re focusing on getting the record on Lupi kills, you should be using the same build you have in other dungeons. I dunno what classes you mean since you didn’t specify a specific class, but a good thing to have in Arah (especially for Lupi) are weapon sets with energy sigils just for the Lupi fight. Strife’s Arah vids are still great for the paths themselves.

Of course, if you’re interested solely on Lupi, there are solo videos from Obal (Guard), Wethospu (War), Sanderinoa (Mes), Random (Thief) and I’m sure there are other vids for the other classes out there on youtube.

I’m looking for a fast speed run team composition and video guides, I know strife’s videos are still good, but there are better videos, I’m also asking which build each class should use, I’m not really interested in getting a record for lupi, killing him in around 90 seconds will be more than fine in speed runs.

Mesmers can run something like 10/30/0/20/10, focusing on self-buffed DPS via Mantras and illusions, with additional reflect utility. Warriors can use 30/0/0/10/30 or 30/25/0/0/15, depending on taste. GS is pretty amazing in Arah, you’ll have it equipped most of the time due to trash skipping segments combined with whirlwind attack being really amazing.

I’m not aware of any videos that are ‘better’ than the ones Strife has, however I know Dub wanted to get some up when he returned.

In terms of just a ‘team composition’, I’d recommend something like 2W, 1M, 1G and 1 optional. As you get better as a team, you may wish to drop the Guardian for something else. The trick to a fast Arah run is clean/fast skips (warriors are pro at this, Mesmers aren’t so good), and just really stacking as much DPS as you can, almost to the extent of CoF, as there isn’t a need for a heap of utility beyond some reflects now and then. (honestly I feel this paragraph refers to how to do almost every dungeon fast… but… yea…)

If you want to get some fun practice in, for fights like Lupi and such, I’d recommend dropping the Mesmer/Guard for a bit and see how well you do.

Thanks for forgetting me, i currently have ele, engi, ranger (partial ._.), warrior, guardian and mesmer solos on youtube.
About speedruns, for path 1 it’s 4 warriors + 1 guardian. Path 2 4 warriors + whatever, doesnt matter. For path 3 there isn’t really an optimal setup, i’d take 2 warriors 1 guardian 1 ele and 1 mes. Path 4 its 4 warriors and one mesmer/guardian.
These are setups for real speedruns, though. Not for casuals like strife’s videos.
If you don’t care about setting records, just stick with 2-3 warriors, 1 guardian and 1 mesmer. Not important at all.

I’ll just stick to strife’s videos, since it also explains every boss mechanic and how to counter it, and I’m not really trying to set a record, so, 2 or 3 warriors, 1 mesmer and 1 guardian, and then any other zerk class if I’m using 2 warriors?

Yea, pretty much. Thief/Ranger/Ele would be best.

Well, you could do 15 minute runs with whatever setup you want. Even 1 ele 1 guardian 1 ranger 1 engi 1 necro. DPS doesn’t matter too much, most time is lost at running parts. Optimize the running parts of strife’s videos and they would have been 10 minute runs.

You won’t find my videos anyway since i usually don’t rename, comment or tag them into the correct section.

I am recruiting for Arah speed runs. Go to my post and read up on it.
