Talk:Cold as Ice

Deadly Arts Assassin
Requirements: 12 or more in Deadly Arts.

Stay where you start the mission until the Griffon turns hostile. When it does turn hostile, run up to it and use Dancing Daggers --> Entangling Asp --> Signet of Toxic Shock, by the time you pull off Entangling Asp, the Griffon should have summoned Dissonance. Once you pull off Signet of Toxic Shock, Dissonance should be locking on to you, run back using Dark Escape or you can opt to not use it. You'd want to keep Dissonance as your target, once it throws its first attack, use Consume Soul to eat it. You don't need to eat the other spirits unless you just feel like gaining some HP back, always eat Dissonance as soon as it comes up because it's annoying to have Entangling or Toxic Shock interrupted. Continue running away from the Griffon and make sure you have Dark Escape up if your going to tank to spike again. Repeat spiking and running with the occasional Consume Soul to replenish HP, Dissonance is your main spirit to get rid of. Keep a note that the Griffon will keep summoning spirits while chasing you so they will be all willy-nilly around the map. If you lose the Griffon's attention and it runs away to summon more spirits, consume the spirits that are around you before going to spike the Griffon. The optional skills I used were YMLAD to cover for the downtime of Dark Escape (Shadow Sanctuary can cover as well), Shadow Refuge which was totally useless, and Signet of Deadly Corruption to deal extra damage with YMLAD or Entangling. It most likely will take some tries to get used to the timing, but in the end you should be kicking butt with your new "I Am Unstoppable!". CryoStatic 04:23, 2 June 2010 (UTC)

Any/R
Finally beat the griffon. Too bad I couldn't do it with my primary profession. As E/R only needed 2 skills and some time. Bring a self heal just in case and I had Ebon Assassin with me, but only used him once to get griffin away from me. All you really need is Apply Poison and Hunter's shot. The combination of bleeding and poison over comes his regen. When you spawn run up the hill to your right. Equip a Longbow for maximum range. Use Apply Poison and then click Hunter's Shot. You will auto-run to edge of bow range and fire. Back up, immediately, a few 'feet'. This is important. If you get into spirit agro range, it will agro griffin. If you agro griffin, he will chase you and drop spirits close to you, before returning to his spawn point. When his wings are up, he is summoning a spirit and won't be able to dodge your arrows. But otherwise its a wave action.. Run up, fire, back off, run up... Hope this helps. 66.66.200.130 13:19, 18 July 2010 (UTC) milo

Just used the build this guy reccomended, but with a warrior. Energy regen made it difficult, but it worked really well.

Revamped
Feel free to revert if you hate the skillbars, I thought it was less wall of text so a good change? -- Chieftain  Alex 22:39, 10 August 2010 (UTC)
 * I'm tempted to have the entire walkthrough section hidden inside a collapsable table so that you just see the raw quest data unless you unhide the section.--[[Image:User_Chieftain_Alex_Chieftain Signature.png]] Chieftain  Alex 23:22, 10 August 2010 (UTC)

Pretty sure the Primary Paragon Build is impossible. 4 PvE skills.... 90.200.54.42 22:39, 22 August 2010 (UTC)
 * I mean the second one 90.200.54.42 22:40, 22 August 2010 (UTC)
 * Good spot. I didn't write any of the builds except the primary paragon build, only wrote them into format. So I switched in a bleeding skill so that Signet of Infection will trigger. I suspect barbed signet would also work but sacrifices your own health and only triggers on GB.--[[Image:User_Chieftain_Alex_Chieftain Signature.png]] Chieftain  Alex 18:15, 24 August 2010 (UTC)

Dervish guide doesn't help at all. Redo it.

Another Version for Assassins
Well, after awhile of trying to beat this on my hubby's assassin and trying all the sin builds that are on the wiki for it already, and none of them working for me, I remembered a build a friend gave me awhile back for sins (its for pve and pvp) It kind of looks like the dagger build on the page for this quest, but its a bit diffrent. For the current dagg build, I had trouble keeping crit deff up because of only have 1 skill to keep up crit def, I changed the build to make it easier for me to keep it up. This is the build I used.

This build worked for me on the first try and was VERY easy to use. My attribute were 10 Dagger Mastery 12 Critical Strikes and 8 Shadow Arts. Its very similar for use to the other build, but You maintain All the enchants, and use way of the assassin and critical eye to help maintain crit def(like the other build, you cast the enchantments before battle). then you spam the attack skills. the blind from shadowsong shouldnt be too much of a problem if u maintain assassin's remedy. Im sure this build has been use by others, but Im just throwing it out there for an easier version of the current dagger build. Oh and I forgot, when I did it, I didnt need to kite at all antil    Swift  19:35, 24 September 2010 (UTC)
 * I did a similar build today but with shroud of distress instead of way of perfection key is to maintain crit agility and shroud and youll be golden. I recommended the two lotus attacks also for energy

Pet Tank for R/Me
I had a hard time with the primary ranger build listed, but this one worked quite well for me. I put 14 into Beast Mastery, 10 into Expertise, and everything else in Illusion, Marksmanship, and Wilderness Survival(OgUVEQLfTskLyA0S8S8wg2YV63gzAA). Keep Otyugh's and Call of Protection up as often as you can so that your pet can tank for you. Keep a fair distance, popping in and out to shoot the griffin. If your pet dies, just resurrect and keep on.

Warriors?
This is practically impossible for my warrior to complete, the griffon just keeps running back to the spirits for cover whenever he gets to about 3/4 health and waits for total regen. Any tips? And just to note - that Grenth's Balance doesn't work at all anymore, I'd recommend taking it off. It might work if you could actually get him alone but the Spirits practically just screw you over too much, you might be able to cast it twice before the spirits have you down.

Well this should work with any class... just make your secondary class Mesmer and max out Illusion Magic and use Conjure Phantasm and Conjure Nightmare. I ate a Birthday Cupcake so I could run from him faster and just hit him with the 2 skills, ran to a safe distance, waited for skills to expire and repeated. Didn't have to hit him or anything, he just degened to death. :) 69.253.39.117 15:17, 5 June 2011 (UTC)
