With an average team, faction rewards can come anywhere from 10k-11k a run and runs take 6-9 minutes. Groups are normally formed in the European German districts.

Attributes and Skills

<pvxbig> [build prof=Mo/Me smi=12+1+3 pro=12+3] [Retribution][Holy Wrath][Balthazar's Spirit][Vital Blessing@16][Blessed Signet][Purge Signet][Unyielding Aura][Leech Signet][/build] </pvxbig>

Equipment

  • Smiting Headgear with Superior Smiting Prayers Rune.
  • Protection Headgear with Superior Protection Prayers Rune.
  • Any armor (but max AL with extra Health is preferred).
  • Any weapons will do.

Usage

  • If the world has the favor of the gods, receive the Monk of Dwayna blessing from the shrine next to the priest.
  • Cast Retribution , Balthazar's Spirit and Holy Wrath, with the Smiting Headgear equipped, on the Beach Tank. Maintain them.
  • Cast Vital Blessing with the Protection Headgear equipped, on the Beach Tank. Maintain them.
  • Get the blessing from the Luxon Priest and follow the Beach Tank (see map below).
  • Make sure you do not get within aggro range of the tank.
  • If the tank gets Hexed by the Oni before casting Spell Breaker, use Purge Signet quickly. This shouldn't happen.
  • If the tank gets a Condition while fighting Naga, it means he's Dazed. Try to use Purge Signet on him quickly, but take care not to pull much aggro.
  • If Kayali the Brave, is still alive, use Leech Signet to interrupt Healing Signet shortly before he would die.
  • Near the end of the run, if the boss, Kayali the Brave, is still alive, cast Primal Echoes (if you brought it instead of Leech Signet) and then let the tank do the work.
  • If the tank dies, use Unyielding Aura to revive him.

Counters

  • Pulling aggro and dying.

Variants

  • Replace Balthazar's Spirit with Life Attunement. Some Tanks prefer one or the other. Consult your Tank before you head out.
  • Replace Purge Signet with By Ural's Hammer!. Purge is not usually necessary in the beach run if you have an experienced tank. Using By Ural's Hammer! you can significantly increase your damage output. Cast this in battle by casting Blessed Signet and then spamming Ural's Hammer so you can get it off just before your energy is leached by Holy Wrath.

Beach run

Usage

or

  • If Hexed by the Oni (with Shadow Shroud), move from their spawn point towards your smiter. See to it that he doesn't get aggro! Find a nice spot to die - you have 3-4 seconds - and get resurrected, when the Oni retreat to their spawn point.
  • If Dazed by the Naga, run toward your smiter so he may try and remove it. Try not to pull aggro on him though.
  • If the Assassins in Kayali's group are not dead, you may need the entire party to try to kill them due to their enchant removal.
  • Watch out for pop ups of Oni.

Counters


Variants

Very good alternative for experienced tank:

Spirit Bond Protective Spirit Spell Breaker Mantra of Resolve "I Am Unstoppable!" "Finish Him!" Balthazar's Spirit Essence Bond
  • Have your smiter bring Life Attunement and Vital Blessing.

Counters

<pvxbig> [build prof=A/E dead=12+1 sha=12+1+3 air=3][Glyph of Swiftness][Deadly Paradox][Shadow Form][Shadow Sanctuary (Luxon)][Dash][Dark Escape][Optional][Resurrection Signet][/build] </pvxbig> For the optional slot you can either add another resurrection skill such as the Sunspear Rebirth Signet, or a healing skill such as Feigned Neutrality or Viper's Defense. Shadow of haste is also quite helpfull Also try adding "Finish Him" to help the beach tank with the last stubborn wallow. (speeds up run)

Equipment

  • Weapon with +20% enchanting (such as Totem Axe and a shield).
  • Any armor can do with attunement and radiant runes. Get your energy as high as you can.

Usage

  • Follow the Beach Smiter, stopping to get the quest Return of the Yeti from Magistrate Kin near the entrance to the zone, until you come to a fork.
  • Split off and run down to where Kayali the Brave is.
  • Make sure you get the aggro of the Naga and bring them close to Kayali's group so that they primarily kill the assassins (most important part), and possibly Kayali. Your job is then done.
  • If any Smiter dies, and that group doesn't have a way to Resurrect him, you may be asked to run over and use a resurrection skill.


Counters

  • Failing to keep up Shadow Form.
  • Failing to pull enough Naga to the Outcasts.
  • The boss group containing 2 Outcast Assassins, Kayali, and a Death-hand will wipe the Naga group regardless. Make sure you kill the Assassins if this happens.

Variants
