Vanquished! Canthan Day 8

Areas Completed:

• Mount Qinkai
  
• Tahnnakai Temple
• Xaquang Skyway
  

Mount Qinkai
Party: W, Razah (MM), Sousuke, Dunkoro, Heal Hench, Interrupt Hench, Earth Hench, Fire Hench
Foes: 144
Time: 43 min

This is becoming a recurring theme here in Cantha but beware of the channeling ritualists. Their area of effect damage is deadly on a party full of heroes and hench. Just target them first and make far pulls in case of patrols and you should do fine.

Tahnnakai Temple
Party: W, R, E, Rt, Tahlkora, Tahlkora, Master of Whispers (SS), Zhed
Foes: 125
Time: 52 minutes

This area is full of Dragon Stomp and Double Dragon mages, channeling ritualists, and Energy Surge mesmers. There is a lot of area of effect and I was not able to complete this area with a full hero-hench party because of it. Even with the friends I normally vanquish with, this area was still a bit tough due to the amount of damage the Jade can do. If you can keep the Knights (warriors) away from the backline by using a corner, the groups are exponentially easier. Unfortunately, the Knights are highly sensitive to AoE and break aggro often so keep your backline at as hard of an angle as possible so the warrior will be able to hold aggro. If even one Knight breaks aggro and you have only 1 warrior in your party, I suggest breaking aggro and setting up again. Minions help but they will not last long here as even the Knights have AoE with Cyclone Axe and Triple Chop.

Xaquang Skyway
Party: W, R, E, Rt, Tahlkora, Tahlkora, Razah (MM), Zhed
Foes: 169
Time: 49 minutes

The Jade are a bit of a pain again just like in Tahnnakai Temple but the corners here are a lot better. Use those corners and you shouldn't have too many groups give you trouble in this area. Watch out for the patrolling groups and make far pulls for the large groups since they sometimes are multiple groups that can be separated.
