Right, so I’ve been rolling around doing most dungeons with my moderately aimless full exo warrior and necro, it’s fun and not that hard, but I have huge problems with this one path. I think I’ll run into the other dps check in Arah iirc, but that’s not a problem if I nail this.

Anyway, it’s obvious I’m gonna need a party of warriors or other high dps classes, but how much money will I have to spend on outfitting myself? I don’t really want to spend 20g on a single path or two, but dungeon master title is worth it.

Edit: Currently my warrior is running a shout heal build/setup, which is completely useless for this path.

If there’s a way for another class to ‘carry’ the encounter, or make it considerably easier, I’m ready to 80 that one too. I got plenty of gold and time.

I run it daily since I need tokens from their, 2 guard tanky dps, 2 berserker warrior, and a mesmer makes it really easy.

I’ve actually ran it with 4 people twice also though, so there is some room for slightly lower dps.

You pretty much need at least a couple pure dps classes if you don’t want to zerg the golem boss. Everything after that is easy.

Thank you both! Your advice is appreciated and will be used next time I try to tackle this path.

I’ll just get somewhat appropiate AC gear to complement since I’m drowning in AC tokens anyway.

People who want or think you need to stack 100lol warriors to beat p1 say that because they are bads. The issue I’ve found has to do with gimmick builds that try and do too much and end up trading like 30% of their dps for things like 1k shout heals. As the poster above stated, go with a 20/30/0/0/20 variation. Pure GS direct damage DPS and no gimmicks like trading 20% of your power for ~400 healing. Go big or go home. Soothing mist and shout heals will not outheal the waves of mobs.

Just FYI, I beat p1 in a 3 guardian/2 ele pug last night in 16 minutes. I am specced as a condition damage w/ staff. We had no wipes. You should be able to get the golem down to 50% before the first pack comes (assuming you are waiting between packs to kill the barrier, trigger the golem and then run). 50% by first pack of adds seems to be a good test to see if your DPS is up to snuff. Easily doable but you have to pay attention, not miss CDs (spam that rage signet), etc.
