That’s pretty sick dude! I saw a Thief solo HoTW butcher patch a while back, I know they buffed the troll since then (not sure what else might have been buffed) but it should be a fun challenge if you’re interested. And then do AC

Cool. Glad to see decent pve engineers.
You can save a lot of time by skipping from start straight to hunter and crusher.
Probably undead slaying is better than battle sigil.

I’m aware of the skip, I just find the hunter/crusher fight to be annoying, so I clear the room beforehand and all of the mobs and fight the two separately

My solo/duo build in pve uses p/s to stack might and apply lots of bleeds/vuln in addition to the huge cleave damage. As such, I find that the massive gains toward power and condition damage from might outweigh the benefits of the 10% additional damage.. I don’t have any evidence to back this up, nor have I tested it, it just feels that way to me. Either way, I would end up using battle over strength one way or another because battle is on my Quip, which I use in WvW as well.

I appreciate the feedback!

If i recall correctly grenades are 3/4 direct and 1/4 condi. I might be wrong but it’s highly leaning towards power.
For hunter crusher you have to kill npc fast by letting her eat crusher’s hammer hit. After that there won’t be any bouncing shot to immobilize so hunter will have 3 attacks left: auto which is cripple(just ignore) and the poison field and the immobilize which look the same(he glows) and are always alternated. So basically you can know when to dodge.
Also never target hunter cause he dodges when targeted.
Have you tried/considered a decap build for ritual solo? I don’t have the time to test right now but I’ve been thinking about it for a while.

Yup, I understand the fight well, I just find it more forgiving to do it the way I do in the video. I’m generally a WvW roamer so my attention span / level of effort in PvE is very limited, haha. The decap build could work if you lined up the wraiths, flamethrower 3’d them back then stealthed with harpy feathers or blast finished a smoke field / tossed elixir S and capped the point. You just need mobility enough to move from point to point so that the mobs dont ever get too close to the point.

My suggestion would be rifle + bombs + flamethrower + elixir gun; acid leap is a good quick move skill and same with jump shot, as long as you’re animation cancelling the end of both so that your character doesn’t freeze in place briefly. You can also use big ol bomb to knock the wraiths back then stealth yourself to cap the point.
