Talk:Duel of the Houses

Only took me and the henchies 30+ deaths to complete this. Why can't they give henchies these sort's of skills or AI? --SK 18:59, 19 May 2006 (CDT)


 * It can be very easy or very hard with henchies. Easy if YOU have the right skills, hard if you don't. :) I can farm this quest with my ele (as a fire nuker) and completely wipe out the whole party in 20 seconds, and I died like 5 times and gave up on it with my monk (being a fourth healer to Danika, Karl and the good Professor). The main problem is the Kurzick Elementalist casting Unsteady Ground which (like most AoE) totally owns the henchies. If they can get it off (more than one possibly) then hecnhies will most likely die because you can't tell them to spread out.
 * Unless you have strong AoE stuff yourself, I'd suggest you run around and make it a long battle. The drawback of course is that it would no longer be good for faction farming, would it? :) --Karlos 19:46, 19 May 2006 (CDT)


 * Taking a page from the farmers, traps or stuff like Bed of Coals (which you can precast while the enemies are still friendly to you) will do a lot for you - this is all fighting dirty, of course. Breaking their Res Signets is paramount, as it saves a lot of time and effort. I've also seen massive damage done by a smiter.
 * The nearby Wardens will fight the Kurzick duelists, at least as long as they're green, so one way to potentially do this mission with minimal resources (though not minimal time) would be to attract a whole gang of Wardens and pull them into the duelists (Duel Master Vaughn is conveniently impervious to attacks, as far as I can tell). &mdash; 130.58 (talk) ( 20:05, 19 May 2006 (CDT) )


 * Heh, with the new update it is absolutely impossible with henchies. They appear to have given the opponents unlimited rezes. Even the Vasburgs will own you now. 212.202.233.2 23:06, 19 May 2006 (CDT)
