Harvest Temple CM | Warriors Only | How to not play Bladesworn PoV (also greens) Pentalux 2023-06-10 | Log: https://dps.report/mHP1-20230609-212439_voidFor this run we stacked Warriors and used every Elite as well as Core specialization. Bladesworn and Berserker for DPS, Spellbreaker for the Boonstrip, and a core Warrior + Bladesworn as Heal Quickness Kites. Warrior generally has access to a lot of tools to handle the various mechanics of HT CM and even without Alac and all of the other utility in normal runs (Portals, Invis, ..), the damage was still more than enough to beat it.More details can be found in the accompanied Reddit post:reddit.com/r/Guildwars2/comments/146bxx2/beating_harvest_temple_challenge_mode_withSquadPower Berserker Asterius youtu.be/nT_FtPpur0MPower Bladesworn Airen youtu.be/GGzF1Dr9Q2cPower Bladesworn Blast youtu.be/7f1_xEwxCTAPower Bladesworn Noisi youtu.be/GM_4H8KNWXcPower Bladesworn Penta youtu.be/gflOKzXwpHIPower Bladesworn RickzPower Bladesworn SilverPower Spellbreaker Minas youtu.be/bqrk8Bowm54Heal Quickness Bladesworn Bear youtu.be/ptMORSHQGmoHeal Quickness Core Warrior Lottie youtu.be/OrjDhgRQxGsDeath Compilation by Lottieyoutu.be/pZANbNFIHIIMusicVampirevania - Jeremiah KaneShe only exists in screens - DeadlifeThe Rebel Path - Cyberpunk 2077 OST
Gw2 Harvest Temple CM | Specter Kite (June 25 patch) Pentalux 2025-09-14 | Another Gw2 HT CM Heal Specter Kite PoV. Now with access to aegis! Note regarding F2: You could use it for boonstripping the boss. I was just too lazy to time it.I still play with shortbow which is personal preference. You could also play pistol/pistol for more pushing power.

Gw2 Harvest Temple CM | Thieves only | Heal Alac Specter Kite PoV Pentalux 2024-10-27 | Log: https://dps.report/V4Wu-20241026-201912_voidEven though it looks like Thief has (almost) all the tools to deal with HTCM mechanics, there are quite a bunch of small annoyances, e.g. the limited AoE cleave, some jank with invisibility (DE reveals, DD dodge being a lead finisher, ..) which made us take way longer than anticipated to get this done. We played pretty the standard strat and just supplemented Thief skills whenever needed. Portal Specters were heavily focused on utility, so additional boonstrips, cleanse well, AoE CC, while Kiters and qDE combined sacrificed some utility skills for stealth and projectile block (Smoke Screen and Blinding Powder). However, the recent changes made it also much more enjoyable and easy to actually play: 10 man portals (instead of 5), Spear (some added 5 target cleave, even though not a lot of ppl where playing it), Staff 2 animation lock removed, Scepter 2 (more comfy for Kiters) and overall dps increase compared to a couple of months ago. Comparing some older to recent logs, it's a difference of 250k to 310k+ Kralk phase squad dps.Squad:(DD) Airen(DD) Jokuc: youtu.be/glGwk0xFasU(DD) Ver(DE) Vuu(qDE) Bear(qDE) Sejter(PortalSpecter) Minas: youtu.be/v6APdWcnOX8(PortalSpecter) Silverhalf: youtu.be/5mUD9JuuEXo(hSpecter) Firiel(hSpecter) PentaluxMusic: youtube.com/watch?v=ZYv442mbzF0
Gw2 HT CM | VL Discord Condition Uptime Competition | HAM Kite PoV Pentalux 2024-07-31 | The VL Discord has organized an HT CM competition on the occasion of its 1 year anniversary.

Following some important changes to the Builds: • Vindicator played with Jalis/Ventari for more Taunt/Stab (if needed)• Reaper was responsible for Chill and hopefully doesn’t yeet off or getting chinned• Our Condi Herald used Mallyx/Jalis together with a Shortbow for Slow/Taunt and Resistance in Zhaitan plus some F2 shenanigans for the Fear. Changed Relic to Nightmare for more Fear• Condi Druid was there for our Immobilize and lot of other Conditions. Some special Pets to increase Fear/Confusion on Range • Both Scourge were running Warhorn/Sword Offhand to increase Fear uptime. • DPS Scourge was additionally running CPC for instant Weakness and Primordus Phase• Chrono Portals swapped Disenchanter for Defender for even more Taunt• Our HAM Kite played with Pistol/Pistol, Bomb Kit and Superconducting Signet to have easier time to apply Confusion.

Gw2 Harvest Temple CM | Rangers only | Quick Untamed POV Pentalux 2024-06-04 | 10 Rangers vs HT CMRangers have a pretty stacked toolkit and power creep has also shown its face in the meantime, most notably with how strong Maces are offensive and defensively. The plethora of available dps allowed us to run a few stance-share Soulbeasts (3 in total), who brought Dolyak and Bear Stance for additional Stability, damage reduction and condition cleanse. Druid also brings lots of boons and was also stealthing by blasting the Smoke field from the Smokescale pet. All used Ranger builds perform decent in HT CM already as well, so we didn't need to make a lot of adaptations. We of course missed Portals, but this simply meant more movement that cost some dps. It was honestly not really a challenge compared to previous stacking runs, because of how much the game and the tools you have available have advanced.Log: https://dps.report/VB7g-20240602-151949_voidSquad:(pSlb) Jokuc: youtube.com/watch?v=ZxaTyIcDFWE(pSlb) Minas: youtu.be/kKeYlt0_ahU(pSlb) Rickz(pSlb) Silver(pSlb) Wereft: youtube.com/watch?v=UjXsOc1EJgw&ab_channel=Wereft(pSlb) Xan(pqUnt) Bear: youtu.be/6qs5nYGOyzk(pqUnt) Pentalux(Druid) Airen: youtu.be/-nhVJNlBYmg(Druid) Lottie: youtu.be/PbfVgxcuvtUReddit Post (some more infos): reddit.com/r/Guildwars2/comments/1d7hvu3/beating_harvest_temple_challenge_mode_with/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web3x&utm_name=web3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_buttonMusic:Vestron Vulture - Hair on FireVestron Vulture - Motion SicknessVestron Vulture - Judas EffectTwin Tribes - Fantasmas

Harvest Temple CM | Necromancers only | Scourge POV Pentalux 2023-05-21 | Log: https://dps.report/GcFs-NECRO_STACK_BABYYYY_voidPlaying scourge on ht cm is a bit sad. The damage is basically not existent (even if you would execute an optimized rotation) and lifeforce was short as well (no signet of undeath =( )For this run we stacked Necromancer and used every Elite specialisation as part of our strategy. Necro overall does not have good Protection uptime and ranged healing capabilities, which was scary on some parts.However, thanks to Reaper shroud and especially the additional damage reduction from Reaper shroud 3, we were able to mitigate a lot of incoming damage. The Might output is also relatively low in general on Necro, at least when it comes to party wide Might, but since Reaper has a lot of self-Might, this also was not a big deal.Since we did not have any Invisibility, we had to play all of the Add/Champion phases without it and hence adapted our moving/stacking patterns in some places to better control how enemies move.Overall this was challenge was on the shorter end of time: We wiped 72 times over 3 sessions.More details can be found in the accompanied Reddit post: reddit.com/r/Guildwars2/comments/13np399/beating_harvest_temple_challenge_mode_withSquad (PoVs):Power Reaper Airen: youtu.be/erC2A0qFQ2IPower Reaper Duse: youtu.be/4ESArfm1zH4 Power Reaper Fita: Power Reaper Jokuc: youtu.be/DFaDx72f7QoPower Reaper Minas: youtu.be/1Y_4Z3PUqrIPower Reaper Subli: youtu.be/EVP_R1EFwYsTwisted Medicine Condition Harbinger Silver: Condition Scourge Pentalux: you're already hereHeal Quickness Harbinger Bear: youtu.be/eh0Nm35BQmwHeal Quickness Harbinger Lottie: youtu.be/lk-AbriB0IM Death Compilation: youtu.be/eXq5qvmz0FkMusic: Furi OST: Danger - 8.02Furi OST : Danger - 19.07Furi OST: Carpenter Brut - Enraged

Everyone who did not have one, had to create a Norn Guardian for this challenge, because we needed the Snow Leopard Elite Transformation for Invisibility.Our strategy was relatively straight forward, 2x Healbenders did the usual kiting job, with the only exception that in some phases we split them apart on each side, such that the quickness Firebrands could Merciful Intervention on top of them for the Greens. For boonstrips, we used Nullification Sigils on the Kites and on some second weapon sets. For the Orbs we used Shield of the Avenger, Firebrands F3-3 Bubble and Shield 5, to block the projectiles.Squad (PoV):Power Willbender BlastFM: Power Willbender Skippy: Power Willbender Trib Dagnar: Power Willbender Pentalux: You're already here.Power Willbender Jokuc: Power Willbender Minas: youtube.com/watch?v=ABTni1GWvsQPower Quickness Firebrand Bear: Power Quickness Firebrand Silver: Heal Alac Willbender Lottie: (death compilation only) youtu.be/gL46tQeoSUgHeal Alac Willbender Gzarig: youtube.com/watch?v=3GJ-jg_JEokMusic: GW2 OST Knight of EmbersGW2 OST Battle of the VanguardGW2 OST Here be DragonsGW2 OST The Saga of the Norn
Harvest Temple CM | Revenants only | Herald Stripper POV Pentalux 2023-03-12 | Gw2 HT CM Revenants only. Log: https://dps.report/7KKz-20230311-141119_voidI was responsible for boon stripping the boss and some champs. A few strategic issues made this run interesting in particular. We don't have portals, Revenant generally does not have far-range blinks and maybe most importantly, there is no way in the general Revenant skillset to stealth. The first two points can simply be adapted for by moving early enough for mechanics, but no stealth required some finetuning. A substantial portion of the progress was spent figuring out how we can sort of consistently handle all of the adds during the intermissions. Eventually combining specific positioning and Superspeed was enough to get the adds and most importantly the Giants close enough together to deal with them. For the Champions in the last phase we decided to transition directly on the Goliath, thereby killing it immediately and kiting the Obliterator as good as possible away the whole time. Other notable issues were that Revenant is generally quite bad for pushing Orbs, except for Kalla/Shortbow on Renegade. That is why we decided to bring a Power Renegade, which would have otherwise been just another Vindicator. The pushing power from Kalla is also used on one of the Kites for consistent fast pushing. To boonstrip the boss, we decided to use a dedicated Power Herald that strips with the Shiro F2 active. The cooldown and rotation lines somewhat up with the 20 seconds timer of the boons. For backups and some more stripping (e.g. adds) we also had Mallyx on both Kites. Overall, it was very fun to combine all the different tools/Legends that Revenant has available to tackle all of the mechanics HT CM throws at you.Thanks to Kartky, Spinerek and Wereft for backups.Squad (PoVs):(pVindi) BlastFM: youtu.be/VDR15slaieY(pVindi) Duse: youtu.be/oFavKmteeiA(pVindi) Nathair: (pVindi) Teh Azian: (pRen) Asterius: youtu.be/EW2zVc9d_Ms(pHerald) Pentalux: youtu.be/OVRDor_PF9Y(qHerald) Bear: (qHerald) Jokuc: youtu.be/QfdrUUhFmEg(aRen) Lottie: youtu.be/uM2kwbrh3BA(aRen) Minas: youtu.be/Cwk-wCy-9TIMusic: Gw2 OST - The Great Wall Has FallenGw2 OST - The Vigil Goes To WarGw2 OST - The Seraph Gw2 OST - Overture
