User:Armond/Team - Glint Hunters

Glint is easily the most powerful single enemy in Guild Wars so far. Defeating her is the bonus objective of the Dragon's Lair Mission, and one of (if not the) largest barrier to be breached in earning the Protector of Tyria title.

Much of this difficulty comes from having the skills to actually reach Glint in addition to having the skills to defeat her. Not only that, but in a PUG, it is harder to find other characters of the profession that you might prefer - perhaps you want another warrior, but what if there aren't any more warriors at the outpost?

This article will attempt to describe effective builds for single players to defeat her. When one character from this article pairs up with a group for the bonus, he should be able to contribute significantly to the group's overall performance. When many characters team up with builds presented here, the mission and bonus should be relatively easy.

Warrior
The warrior's purpose is primarily to soak up damage while meting out as much of it as he can. He has an advantage in this in that he will not need to move very much; thus, he can take advantage of skills such as Dolyak Signet.

Because the skill Wild Blow is easily usable by any warrior, it often falls to the warriors to strip Glint's Jagged Crystal Skin. Other interruption skills are useful for interrupting Crystal Hybernation.

Crystal Haze encourages the use of adrenaline skills, and Glint's incredibly high level (31!) encourages the use of armor penetration. Thus, furious weapons are ideal, and

Distracting Tank Warrior
This warrior utilizes a number of Tactics skills to make himself much more difficult to kill. Because the warrior should be adjacent to Glint throughout the entire battle, he should use Distracting Blow, Skull Crack, and Savage Slash to interrupt her. Once again, Dolyak Signet makes for great armor bonuses since the character should not have to move.
