How do you open with out dying?

Mordith

Open what? The shard chest? If so, I have never seen one have a trap on it. If not the shard chest, then I don't know what you are referring to.

ooops sorry, the curtain. I know the order of the towers can get a couple of the towers but, the 2 by the front door gives me troubles and die alot

Actually, after a little practice I figured out you can click on each pillar without drawing agro. Of course you get agro when you move from pillar to pillar, but then just get to a spot outside of agro range for each pillar. You can usually figure this out by just looking at the pillars and the mobs placement.

For the 3 pillars along the walls, you just fd next to the pillar and close to the wall but max distance from the mobs. You can then stand and click.

For the 2 pillars by the entrance to the room, you have to fd max distance from the pillars and mobs, stand and inch closer and closer until you can click the pillar. Usually once you get close enough to click (from the furthest possible distance) you may still draw agro. However, just fd, stand back up and you should no longer draw agro.

The only time I die now is if fd fails or if I get stunned before fd'ing. Hope this helps.

So you kill the 2 mobs at the entrance first or can you stand between those and the mobs near pillards ?

Mordith

You don't have to kill any mobs. I know I am not geared to do something like that! Taking the Pillars in the order of clicking, here is what I do for Pillars 3 and 4.

For Pillar 3 (in the center of the room and on the right) I fd between the guard and Pillar 2 and stay close to the wall. You should be able to do so without agro. Slowly inch forward toward Pillar 3 until you can click it. If you get agro from the center mobs, you should be able to fd and stand back up without agro. If you still get agro, you are too close to the center so back up and try again.

For Pillar 4 (in the center to the left of Pillar 3) I stand between the door guard and The Doomsmith but close to the wall. Again just keep inching forward until you can click Pillar 4. If you get agro, fd and stand back up. If you get agro after standing back up, try again.

I would imagine that well-geared bruisers may be able to click through with agro and without repeated interrupts like I get.

Once you get Impenetrable Will (Shadows Tier 4 AA), farming these shard zones becomes easier--especially opening the curtains in DF. Make use of Close Mind right before using Impenetrable Will when dashing into a packed room. When you FD, cancel Close Mind to start the recast timer as soon as possible. That way, Close Mind and Impenetrable Will can be close together on the recovery.

Thank you with the changes to my Aa and the inching forward I got the pillars )))
