Feedback talk:User/Autoduelist/Make Professor Dorian more durable in D'alessio Seaboard

I know it sounds like whining "Oh noes! It's so hard!", but I do agree with this. All the other missions are tough on HM with any normal build, but are still doable without any special fanfare. This, however, is kind of ridiculous. You either have to exploit the Hero/View distance programming, or have members dedicated to rushing Dorian and protecting him. Either way, there is a bigger sense of luck involved in this than any other mission. I'm all for diversity in builds to suit the mission, but I think this takes it too far. The same can be said for... whatever his name i that starts the bonus in the town before Dorian. His survival is especially dependent on spawns and which boss happens to rape his face. ~Farlo Talk 07:07, 18 April 2011 (UTC)

The dude's name is Confessor Dorian, not Professor Dorian. He has no degree. elix Omni 07:49, 18 April 2011 (UTC)

It's not that hard to keep Dorian alive. You just have to do two things: get to him quickly when you first approach the temple; and sweep the area afterwards to clear out any stray mobs. The undead come in groups of 4 or less, which should be no trouble if you have a decent damage output. All up, I'd rate this as actually one of the easier missions in Prophecies, certainly nowhere near as annoying as Aurora Glade, Divinity Coast or The Wilds. -- Hong 09:18, 18 April 2011 (UTC)

But I think the entire meaning of this suggestion is because of the difficulty getting to him,a dn that's what I was talking about above. Oddly, I found Aurora, Divinity, and The Wilds much much easier than this one. But yeah, once you're there, it is fairly easy to defend him. I think he should have a monster skill or some other mechanic to keep him alive until you reach... the top of the hill? half-way up it? just something closer than the bottom next to the crippling dudes. ~Farlo Talk 12:36, 18 April 2011 (UTC)

Aurora, Divinity and The Wilds are no problem at all if you just want to complete the mission. It's the bonus that's the tricky part. As for this one, I've never experienced any problems with reaching Dorian before he gets killed. If you're having trouble, bring a MM or spirit spammer. That creates more targets to distract the undead, and also kills them remarkably quickly. -- Hong 13:22, 18 April 2011 (UTC)

So weird, I always have the opposite problem, haha. Divinity can be iffy sometimes, but the others rarely give me trouble, where with D'Alessio, Dorian likes to die before I can even reach his area, usually near the start of the bridge. I haven't done that mission in quite a while, so maybe they've hotfix'd it? *shrug* ~Farlo Talk 16:59, 18 April 2011 (UTC)

Whoops, I meant Bloodstone Fen, not The Wilds. That's the one where you have to avoid killing the guardians. -- Hong 17:22, 18 April 2011 (UTC)

Fen is even easier: disable minion/summons, make passive, and RUN! ~Farlo Talk 22:13, 18 April 2011 (UTC)
