I pretty much run dungeons every day, what can I say, I just LOVE dungeon speed runs :D And I’m looking for more folks to run with!
I love teaching the runs as well. So if you are interested, you don’t need to be a pro (yet), just be capable. (I can teach CoF, SE and AC. HotW, CM and TA are easy enough. Still working on CoE and Arah).
My only rule: no elitists or folks with bad manors.
Since dungeons can be done cross server, there are no server stipulations. However, the guild is based on Tarnished Coast.
We are also looking for officers and other dungeon teachers, so let me know if you are interested in either of those positions.

Hmm…so speed running is just for the tokens…and to skip as much as possible? Yet glitching helps immensely with that. Esp. CoE for example. Some things are exploits yes, but other things are glitches which make the runs so much easier.
And from running CoE so much…I’ve noticed that Subject Alpha in the final boss fights just loves to glitch. Almost like…at least once every 3 paths…sometimes two times even every 3 paths, he’ll glitch and do nothing. A not so hard boss fight if you know how to approach it made even easier.
But my point is…for your speed runs, do you glitch/exploit? As no matter how you look at it, doing so will allow for the fastest possible runs (like P3 of Arah). Is this what you are asking for…?
No not for tokens. I have 4 people that are willing to help me with Charged Lodestone farm for my legendary but I want to learn the most efficient way of doing the dungeon without using 3 in1 as that way of doing dungeons makes me uncomfortable like I am doing something wrong. I just don’t see many non 3 in 1 groups out there. I also don’t know whether it’s better to skip or kill most trash for drops(guessing skip) and just get thru all the paths as fast as possible without doing the 3 in 1. I am no stranger to speed runs I do AC super fast and CoF and also SE P1 and P3 regularly. I also have no problem killing everything in the kittening place if it’s worth it.

Ahh I see…I also am doing the same thing, farming Charged Cores/Lodestones. Generally I kill everything except the “Champion” mobs, such as the wolf, the risen abomination…? after the destroy door with laser event, and the destroyer crab thing.
Yes…I like to kill everything b/c a week ago…one of my teammates while killing either the icebrood elemental or goliath received a Charged Lodestone as a drop…well…then as far as I’m concerned, the mobs are most definitely worth killing…(referring to the mobs at the very beginning anyways and I do believe he was running MF…well MF food at very least)
Also the thing about the 3 in 1 is that it’s really good for farming simply b/c you’re actually doing all 3 paths w/o having to constantly repeat the beginning stuff. And in doing so you’re also getting all the possible chests that you can get from the dungeon, not to mention that most of the cores/lodestones are found from looting the chests (this is assuming that doing the 3 in 1 method actually does give access to all the possible chests that appear in the dungeon, which I “believe” is the case).
Funny how people still think the boss in CoE is glitching, when he’s not.
In case you didn’t know…
If you kill enough alpha’s essences, after a certain point the boss will go in cooldown. Cooldown as in he won’t move and he won’t attack at all. If you stop killing essences he’ll start moving/attacking again.
Alas after the HP cut, you won’t see him go in cooldown much if you’re running pugs that: 1. lack coordination and 2. don’t know about the feature.
Nggggghhhh! I’d be very interested. Patient Dungeon master here! Though I’m full up on guilds and I can’t really consider leaving any of them xD I’m also on TC. Though if you wanna add me Beorn Saxon, perhaps I can be a filler if ever needed, opposed to grabbing a random person (If I become ‘no longer a random person from the forums’ that is).

Huh…this honestly is the first time I’ve ever heard of this…although I PUG most of the time…I actually encounter this feature very often. We just stack and atk the boss, while I myself will use Dancing Dagger whenever the Essences appears. But honestly he glitches at like 2/3 hp, meaning we haven’t actually seen many Essences…and he does this until he dies. I guess I’ve been lucky all this time. Well from now on I will use this feature as much as possible then…making him even more trivially easy…

Yeah it sometimes happens that you kill the essences while you use AoEs on the boss without realizing it.
Me as a Thief I usually immobilize and kill at least one every time he spits em.
I have never calculated how many you need to kill to be able to put him in cooldown, but it should be less than 5.

Umm was not referencing that as glitching. That’s how I think is best way to kill him too. I’m talking about going in one path killing everything, then walking thru the walls to the end of the other 2 paths w/o resetting to get all 3 path clears w/o actually doing all three path clears…..which is why I said 3 in 1……..not sure why you thought i meant Subject Alpha stacking……I really hope they fix that glitch soon “most efficient” does not always mean “the right way” to do something. That Glitch meaning the 3 in 1 not stacking on alpha which I do not believe to be a glitch.

I’d be down for running some Arah with you all. I’ve run everything but path 4 (and I’m not really chasing the dungeon master title). Path 3 is easy enough but the real problem I seem to have is nobody experienced wants to run path 1 or 2 which are only slightly harder than path 3.
Anyways if anybody has interest in running some Arah with regular people please add me to your list. I’m a mesmer in full exotics and have probably run Arah maybe 25 times or so and run maybe 600+ dungeons overall. Thanks.
p.s. I’ve run CoF, AC and TA an extreme amount of times. Not really sure I have much interest in those. Although running dungeons with the right group makes all the differnce so I wont say I wont ever do those again. I enjoy the dungeons.
I would be interested in joining your dungeon runs. I have a level 80 warrior and a level 80 elementalist: both are on Tarnished Coast like you. My game name is donttread.9304.
sign me up, ill pm you later in game, I want to perfect my dungeon runs and get with good people on them. I’ve got dungeon master and am familiar and willing to teach others. On Crystal Desert
I just sent out a bunch of invites, had many people PM me to join the guild. Welcome to all the new members, I look forward to running with you guys soon!
Im up for an invite. Val Ravage (war) and Lilly Flamebush (ele) are my characters. I already have my dungeon master title and still interested on running other not so popular dungeons (namely anything other than AC and COF :P). I usually run with people in my guild on various dungeons and if we are missing some spots we could really use some good people to call Willing to help others on other paths including arah.
That’s what drives me to do a lot of dungeons.
