Equipment
Any weapon with lengthening 20% enchantment time will work but I recommend Kepkhet’s Refuge for the extra energy given. All pieces of armor must have a superior rune on them bringing your health down to 105 which is a variation of the 55 Monk build.

Usage
Cast the last 3 enchantments when loaded into the area and take the Anguish Hunt and Quest. Cast Protective Spirit, Spell Breaker, and then Shield Of Absorption once Quickening Zephyr is up. Gather all mobs into one central area and stand very close to all spell casters and start on a cycle of casting Ancestor’s Visage and Sympathetic Visage. Maintain Protective Spirit, Spell Breaker, and Shield of Absorption at all times.
 * Note that these 2 only work when being hit with melee attacks so do not continue to keep up if there are no melee attacks on you.*

Counters and Problems

 * Casting Spell Breaker when Quickening Zephyr is not up will result in it not recharging in time which then can lead to enchantment stripping and death.
 * Not having all the spell casters in adjacent range to be hit by Visages.
 * Healing spikes from Margonite Anur Ki

Equipment
Radiant Armor with the specified runes and runes of attunement for any other slots available is recommended. Any type of Bow with additional energy.

Usage
Cast last 2 enchantments on Monk when done loading and take Anguish Hunt and Quest. Use Serpent’s Quickness followed by Quickening Zephyr when Monk is ready. Cast Famine and keep Quickening Zephyr and Famine up at all times. Cast Edge Of Extinction when Margonites are close to death.

Variants
Replace Apply Poison with Lightbringer's Gaze (depending on Lightbringer Rank) for different ways to deal with stragglers. Some people like to carry Succor in place of Balthazar's Spirit.

The Tank
NOTE: The tank must have rank 4 lightbringer or higher or this build will not work.

Equipment

 * A full set of armor with radiant insignias with a superior rune on each.
 * A +5 energy sword or axe with a 20% enchanting mod on it such as a Totem Axe or a Rajazan's Fervor and a grim cesta from the quest Cities of Ascalon.

Equipment

 * A full set of armor with radiant insignias with a rune of superior wilderness survival and any expertise rune.
 * A Insightful Staff of Enchanting with a Hale & Hearty inscription is optimal, but any weapon set will work.

Usage

 * The first thing to do upon entering the city is to cast the 4 enchantments on the tank. During this time, the ranger should be using Blood Ritual on him/her.
 * Within 40 seconds of the first person to enter the area, the ranger should cast Quickening Zephyr followed by Famine behind the gate. NOTE: The ranger should cast the spirit within range of the Margonite Quickening Zephyr. The ranger will continue to use Quickening Zephyr whenever it recharges and Famine whenever it is about to die.
 * The ranger should then use Blood Ritual on the tank until he/she has at least 37 energy.
 * One person must then take the quest The City of Torc'qua from Captain Sulahresh. The participants at this time may also take the Anguish Hunt from the Whispers Informant.
 * The ranger should stay near the gate while the tank moves forward.
 * The tank should have his/her hero window active and being able to easily click on his/her Lightbringer title.
 * The tank should then cast Protective Spirit and Spell Breaker on him/herself and engage the first group of Margonites.
 * The tank should then toggle his/her Lightbringer title on and then quickly off. This will cause a 4...8 damage reduction based on Lightbringer rank. This damage reduction does not last forever and should be reapplied every 15 seconds. NOTE: If the tank is rank 5 or higher Lightbringer, they will not gain energy due to Essence Bond, thus Essence Bond should be replaced with Blessed Signet. See below variant.
 * As soon as the tank has enough energy, he/she should use Healing Breeze.
 * The tank should reapply Healing Breeze, Protective Spirit, and Spell Breaker whenever necessary.
 * The Warrior and Dervish Margonites will then begin to attack the tank in melee.
 * The tank should then begin to use Sympathetic Visage whenever it recharges (which is only 10 seconds because of quickening zephyr). This will drain the energy of the warriors and dervishes relatively quickly. They will begin to take damage from famine, which will cause the enemy monks to heal the melee attackers. Because they use Healing Whisper, they will move closer to the attackers.
 * The tank should then try to get the monks to be very close to each other by pulling the melee attackers. Be sure not to pull backwards as this will allow the Margonites to attack the ranger, which will cause you to fail.
 * The tank should then go into adjacent range of the monks. The dervishes and warriors will follow.
 * The energy should completely drain from the monks and they will stop healing. They will later die due to famine. This will also leave the dervishes and warriors at very low health.
 * Once the monks have died, the other Margonites should be easy to kill using a similar method, although once the dervishes and warriors have died it will be impossible to kill other Margonites because Sympathetic Visage only triggers when you get hit in melee.
 * The tank can pick up his/her loot whenever he/she chooses and can pull the Margonites away so that the ranger can pick up his/her loot.

Variants

 * If the tank has rank 5 or higher Lightbringer, he/she should use a radically different build since he/she will be taking 0 damage from the Margonites. This also allows for a 2 man farm for all of the City of Torc'qua and The Foundry of Failed Creations.  An example of this build would be:


 * The ranger could put some attribute points into Beast Mastery and bring Edge of Extinction to speed up the farming a bit.
 * The ranger could bring Sunspear Rebirth Signet with the small hope that, if the tank dies, he can be resurrected and the build can restart. This is near impossible due to the fact that the Margonites will rush the area before you have time to set up again.
 * The ranger could bring some running stances such as Storm Chaser, Dodge, and Natural Stride to pick up loot.
 * The tank could also be a Mo/W who uses "Fear Me!" to drain energy instead of Sympathetic Visage and uses Balanced Stance or Dolyak Signet to prevent knockdown while using Spell Breaker. The build should be something similar to this:


 * To effectively use this build, it is advisable to set the button to use "Fear Me!" to something easily pushed. This variant of the build only works in the City of Torc'qua or any other place with massive (20 or greater) mobs.  The main advantage to this over the Visage build is that it does not require melee attackers to energy deny.  If you have Lightbringer rank 5 or higher, replace Mending with "For Great Justice!" or Blessed Signet.  Auto-attacking is also a good idea to more quickly gain adrenaline for "Fear Me!".
