CM path 2 and 3 would be super super helpful!
My guild is having a hard time with these ones
Norax.2405, I believe it was HotW1 that I was watching. You spent the first half (all I watched before getting fed up) talking about the Tri-Forge accessory on the Trading Post, with the Post up and your chat box expanded covering everything. Thanks for trying, but eh.
Celestea.4105, good to hear!
Strifey.7215, thanks for the “speed runs”. With so many groups just expecting this, it’ll be good to have a point of reference. I’ll be sure to check them out. (Especially HotW, as that’s the set I want for my Ele.)
If people are actually interested in semi-quick runs here are some easier paths that I recorded.
Citadel of Flame – Ferrah Path
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4D-ERftN3LU (9 minutes)
(~7 minutes)
Crucible of Eternity – Submarine Path – (~16 minutes)

Impressive on the speed runs, seems like you are all pretty much specced for damage?
My speed runs don’t kill as fast since most of us are more balanced a bit more tanky and we are in a primary WvW guild so we do that alot as well. Too lazy to always respec and carry around 3 sets of armor instead of 2.
Not to mention with DR in place we already hit it on our 5th run even doing ~15-20min runs :/

Everyone in the party is in full Berserker (I keep an extra set for WvW as well, since I prefer a different rune set for that anyways). I honestly see no need for survival stats in current exploration modes as long as you have good protection/weakness up time.
The DR system is annoying and need rework. Current work around isn’t too bad, you can simply balance an Arah here and there to off set the short runs. In the end the extra money/time you gain from faster runs far compensates for that 1 retrait every few hours or so, plus I’d hate to do WvW in my PvE build anyways, same goes for PvE with WvW build.
Oh, I forgot to mention, thanks for the posts Blacktoof and Strifey! I edited your videos into the OP.
I’m going to check out the speedrun videos, and post them into the OP later today.

Added ‘Ascent to Madness’ dungeon.
When Mad King says something, only one member of the party can/must do the ‘emotes’. Failing only gives dmg to that one, doing it correctly, let you use your skills until the next ‘Mad King says’. It do it 3 times.
Scarecrow when is broken gives AOE fear. So wacht out for the edges. Bring 1 breakstun.
Spiders put 3 stacks of confusion each. Bring 1 clean condition.
With max equipment, dmg is minimal and everything should be bursted fast.

Hello, We’ve made this video with all 3 AC explorable paths. Enjou
Hi! Are these updated? I want to take a look at doing some arah explo but they changed the giganticus something so the previous strat wouldn’t work. I’m not sure.
I have updated the OP, with new and up to date videos contributed by strifey. I haven’t been playing as much as I’d like to, so I don’t have good recorded footage as of yet.
Hiya, everyone, i’ve made a two video from CoF, 1st and 2nd path, maybe it will be useful to someone
Party setup – 2 guardians, 2 warriors, 1 elementalist.
OST is something like Die Antwoord and crunk~ dub~ step, enjoy
Ferrah’s path – http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=skEZeWPGDHA .

For all the explorable modes, I see a strange lack of Arah.
I need Arah if someone can do it >.<
soon… alot of people from my original group stopped playing, so been finding good replacements and teaching them how to melee GL for videos.
Hopefully this week I get some up ~_~

Wethospu.
Search this on YT and you’ll find Arah Path 2 solo Video :p
Strifey just uploaded an arah path 2 guide, I’ve added it into the op.
Have Path 3 done as well, just have to render and upload it, probably tomorrow. Will probably doing my Path 1 video tomorrow as well, then finish up with the long path 4 (relative, about 45 min. is the time I’m aiming for).

Updated the op with path 1 and mesmer builds by strifey.
If your interested in using dungeons to make gold!
ahhh shameful plug :/
(edited by Scootabuser.4915)
would love some post-patch runs (ac mostly)
would love some post-patch runs (ac mostly)
Path 1 and 2 are up, the Shared Path and Path 3 will be up in the next 1-2 days after I commentate them.
I also re-recorded Arah Path 3 last night, so that will be up in the next couple of days after AC.

Like strifey said above, I have added the new links he has sent me.
I’ll continue to update as more footage comes in.
As always great work and thanks again strifey!
Guide to the brand new dungeon from a thief but it is a general guide so anyone can use
The problem I’m having with these guides is that they’re from the perspective of a co-ordinated group of players who use niche teamwork, like I notice in the arah videos you frequently have one player draw some mobs away so the rest of the group can get through, and that’s a great thing to know about if you’re playing with the guild and you’re on teamspeak but I found that in pub groups randomly formed on GW2LFG people tend to not do that kind of thing. Would be better if you went over the kind of things more casual groups are going to try to get through the content, what to expect and what’s expected of you to hold your own playing through these dungeons with a group of people you’ve never met or spoken to before so you don’t end up being that guy who holds the group back.

I dunno. He explains what every boss does and what the mechanics of every encounter are. How you solve those encounters will vary depending on your team, but the encounters themselves are always the same. Besides, most scrubs or bad pugs just use ranged weapons on everything, and nobody needs a guide for that.

That’s…really not that fast, and you have a lot of problems with your setup. There’s no point in pinging gear or having 4 warriors in that run because a rando group of classes and build could do it just as fast.
Fractals guide for guardians or just a guide how to high level fractals with an organized group (40+)
bookmarked. Many thanks for this…
Updated Sorrow’s Embrace p1 guide (4:49)
Thank you for this guide. Gives me a little peace of mind knowing how to do some of the dungeons I still have yet to complete.
