Borlis Pass

Completed comfortably this mission as a level 12 ranger. Some notes:

• Martial classes are going to have a harder time than casters. Warriors especially.
  • Both ranged and melee weapon users will experience Stone Summit Mesmer's Empathy often.
  • As for the melee specifically, you'll experience Ice Golem's Frozen Bursts and Stone Summit Necro's Vampiric Touch.

• Enchantments can be difficult for many of these groups since both the Stone Summit Mesmer and Necros can remove them.

• Dolyak Rider's only heal is Heal Other, which can't self target. Therefore, focus down the Dolyak Rider before any other enemy in a group.

• At the start of this mission Line of Sight blocking can assist with most kills. The protectors use healing breeze and purge condition, but are otherwise pretty weak healers.

• Once all the torches have been lit, you'll run into a few ice golems, and a boss up ahead. This boss has some patrols around it, so keep an eye out.

• The boss that is with the two Siege Engineers doesn't need to be killed, but the two Engineers do, otherwise the gate later in the mission won't open.

• Up ahead, there are Dolyak Rider that have Remove Hex and Heal Other. There's one per group with three other enemies.

• And then further ahead you'll fight groups of three Ice Golems. After that is a cutscene and then the challenging part:

• After the first two groups, you'll see two different groups of four with a Dolyak Rider in them. Try to engage them separately. Additionally, the addons with the Riders hit MUCH harder than all previous groups. The Rider is actually casting Strength of Honor on the melee, so if you engage and re-engage the group a few times, the Rider can simply be out of energy since it only has 1 pip of energy regen.

• Once those two groups are done, there's a boss in an open field. You can skip it if you'd like. This might require an IMS to do so.

Recommended Level: 12
Recommended Skills: There's enchantment removal and empathy. Also, take something to handle the Riders.
