Build Used

First try, kind of worked.
Mission Complete

nice one. i saw thief, who take solo hills. like 15 min in lord room ^^
can repeat?

Nice build. Care to share? ^^

Rabid gear? Precision / toughness / cond damage?
But I’m confused - your Power seems as high too...

Yea everything is Rabid the power comes from the Might stacks from mine and my clones Winds of Chaos.

Had a few more tries to try and work out the pulling mechanics for the tower lord and its guards.

Your build is missing 5 traits, I’m assuming that’s for Dueling to get Deceptive Evasion (clone on dodge)?

Sorry about that, yep the extra 5 go into Deceptive Evasion

You were fighting that tower lord in an absurdly sub-optimal way. You mentioned something about keeping chaos armor up, but you didn’t use a leap combo in chaos storm or feedback ever to get chaos armor. Additionally, you were using a weapon with a bouncing attack, the staff, but you were so far away from the lord that none of the attacks were bouncing, effectively robbing you of massive amounts of might, fury, and double the dps on the lord.

Yea it was only my second time going up solo against a tower lord so I was being careful with range and what have you as I wasnt sure what his attacks were.

I narrate videos after they are recorded, my build is based around keeping chaos armor up as much as possible, roughly when I say it I drop Null Field and staff 2ed out of it to keep it up, when I rewatched it while narrating I must have saw that and said it :p

Technique is improving slowly on getting these guys down solo as its so hard to get in the tower with no support.

Thanks for the feedback though

If you intend on making soloing towers a habit, then modify your build for the occasion by putting 20 into inspiration and traiting focus. As you did notice, the lords are 100% ranged. The traited focus obviously won’t do as much damage in a condition setup like you have, but once you get 2 wardens down (with illusions X as well), you have pretty much 100% uptime on projectile reflects, so you can just afk the fight.

Thanks for the tip, I usually roam then if i see the chance try a tower so I keep the build I have, It can solo towers fine as I said that was only my second try solo against a tower lord and its guards.

Very cool man!!

Thank you for sharing!

Traiting into the focus doesn’t cause your iWarden to reflect, it causes your Curtain to reflect. iWarden reflects naturally.

Unless you’re traiting for faster double warden, it’s not really useful for his build. If you are running a Power/straight damage build instead of condition damage, then this is a better method versus running WoCspam, but he’s going ConDmg so WoCspam is probably the fastest and safest method to work with. Also, if the warden is behind him, it won’t reflect. Just keep that in mind.

Wrong. Warden absorbs projectiles, not reflects. You have to trait for the reflect.

Ah, you’re right.

Had a few more goes now with my standard spec and theres no need to trait focus at all

Added newest attempt to the OP to show a different entry strategy.
