Hello everyone,
I recently started gw2 again from a long long pause, (stopped playing 5months after release if i remember correctly).

But anyway back to the topic, I wanna do all my achievements and in Dry Top the achievement Quicksand Survivor. I have all classes in the game maxed to 80 and i have been experimenting with taking off all equipment that has vitality or runes / sigils that boost HP. But i still cannot make it to the 15sec mark, I have looked on youtube and metabuilds ..etc but unfortunately Specialization has come around and the builds back then when the videos or posts were made i found are using the old builds that dont match anymore :/. So can someone give me a updated guide how to make it? Please.

As a main ranger my tip is:
With a ranger equip Trolls Unguent, Signet of the Wild, Fern Hound pet and eat a Mango Pie.
All those heals stack with each other, also the strategy of removing all the Vit gear is the key for success.

You can also ask for a friend to create a water field for you, in that case equip sword/warhorn + GS, that way you’ll have a blast finisher and 2 leap finishers to heal even more.

You can try necro. Get life force to full first then jump in the quicksand. When your health is low, switch to Death Shroud. Trait to lose Life Force slower. (As well as the above suggestions about mango pie and water fields).

Be careful what you ask for
ANet may give it to you.

Hi kind sir. What i did. was use warrior and trait yourself for max damage and make sure to tick the endure pain option in traits. As well as the extra endure pain on your skill bar. The other 2 i made sure i have shouts that heal me with rampage as my ultimate.

I then popped rampage as soon as i went in giving you 40 000+ HP. I let it bleed down and as soon as it got to low health i popped 2 shouts to get me up and waited for the first endure pain to kick in and timed to get the 2nd one on teh skill bar perfectly. and I made it .

maybe try the same.

I did it on a guardian traited to support/heal. I also helped friends by tossing boons and heals at them. If you want help with it let me know (keep in mind that in 3 hours I’ll be doing beta stuff so I can’t guarantee having time to take a break thereafter )

I also did it the necro way. Built up my life force to full, jumped in the quicksand, went into DS once my health was low, and then waited for it to finish.

Aww you broke the combo, everyone was posting a different class
We need a thief, eng, mesmer and ele … I can imagine eng and ele doing it, but mesmer and thief I can’t see a good solution.

Yeah, I tried it on my mesmer to see what would happen. Bad things happened.

I wonder how well Mesmer would do it with Mantra of Recovery. You get 2 full heals with that so if you wait to use it when health is almost gone, that’s 4 health drops till you die. Add mango pie and the trait for regen at low health for additional healing.
