Prophecies

The Black Curtain: Bog skales use spiteful spirit heavily, and bod reeds have numerious hexes, take hex control. Completed with Human curses Necro, human adrenaline axe spiker, hero MM, hero N/Rt healer, Hero BHA ranger, hero HB healer, hero RC prot

Talmark wilderness: No real issues here. Main mobs are oakhearts monks, nightmare necros, minotaur warriors and inferno imp eles. RC monk hero handles the rodgort's burning from the imps nicely.

Magesty's rest: Rotscale will slaughter you if unprepared. You have been warned.

Sage lands: Very straight forward area. Wind riders, maguuma spiders and plant earth eles are the flavour here.

Maguuma lagoon: Large swarms of wind rider mesmers are your concern here. Pack for heavy degen from Conjure Phantasm on the whole party.

Ice Floe: Small groups of Mursaat present little problem, and the ice imps are fairly harmless. Some large groups of Mursaat will wipe the party if ill prepared. Mursaat mesmers carry e-surge for aoe damage and e-denial. The jade armours are easily contained with echo SS. Monks will spam orison but are rendered harmless by removing their enchants.

Factions

Shenzun tunnels: The afflicted kam must be pulled and eliminated as a first task. He and his group can wipe the party with ease, even at +10 morale. Pulling him away from his pop ups solves this.
