That said the rewards are kinda meh. I just do it because it takes little time.
guillie hm is dificult for somes clases, like berseker ( my case) , beseker have high mobility, but you need hands for get them ( no like a braler or ninja)
now full dreaht +12 im done in 5 minutes only few times, average time are 6-7, and when rng is unluck, maybe 8 minute
I don't remember when was the last time I tried this instance. Probably somewhere along previous non ninja patch. Back then I remember my derp reaper could do HM easily in a few minutes.
Ghillieglade is a dungeon that is easy on all classes given you know how to iframe, even on berserker, the main downside to them is overcharging and eating the full AoE he does, a well timed iframe on zerk should make it so you only get hit once, and zerk does have some hp recovery with non chained Vampiric Strike and the HP restoration glyph on Tenacity, both make this dungeon easy enough if you time it right, most melee classes have some glyph that might provide hp restoration and while they're definitely not recommended for group play they can come in handy in a dungeon like this, just like potions do.
Ranged DPS have absolutely no issues as the only things that MIGHT hit you, if at all, are the waves from the hand attack he does which are easily avoided by archer and gunner, not that easy on sorc if you're in the middle of nova/fireblast but they don't do enough damage anyway.
Melee DPS (except warrior since DFA used at the right time makes it so you don't get hit at all during the AoE and roll costs very little so you could do the entire thing without being hit once) might have to eat a slap every now and then but they have their ways to deal with it with either potions or glyphs.
Brawlers can enrage the boss which makes their iframe last long enough to avoid two of the AoE hits and have block while attacking, if paired with GF literally everything will be a block and the only thing you have to worry about is the AoE (their 1 min cd 50% hp restoration is quite good too if you derp a little). Lancers have Iron Will + Backstep, ideally this should make it so you take no damage from the AoE and you can block everything else, then you also have second wind if you do end up taking some critical damage for some reason.
And lastly healers can eat every single hit (except fire breath attack) and laugh it off, while they might seem to take a bit longer than other classes it's fine considering you basically get uninterrupted dps.
I'm not entirely sure if it got an HP/Endurance/Power buff to match DN being low tier or not, what I do know is that it takes roughly the same time on a +12 DN Brawler than it did with a +12 Schisma Brawler before patch... actually maybe a tad faster now.
The guardians do add stuns but the big indicator circle should be visible enough (and gives you like 2 secs or so to get out of it) so you can avoid it. I'd actually recommend you go HM with a class you're not that good at just to try it out and get used to all the indicators, remember that you can stall and kill the ghilliedus for motes if you need some healing (although they don't drop 100% of the time they die really fast), it's more about practice on the HM than playing it safe with NM first because you don't get the guardians in NM so you might be blind to circles if you do too many NMs... I know I made that mistake a few times when transitioning from NM to HM when it was released...
The thing to remember is all classes have different playstyles so practicing with one class might give you the full view of what goes on, but you can derp when switching to a different class (I find myself trying to Jaunt out of AoE when on melee classes every now and then... Sorc main has my brain confused sometimes... nothing like yelling at your screen "WHY U NOT JAUNTING YOU LITTLE POS!" then realizing you're on slayer...)
We can EASILY eat the fire-breath attack as well if we're feeling lazy. I don't even bother to dodge or kaia's it.
The last time I did it on a healer was like 3 patches ago so I kind of forgot -_-"... but yeah, I had my suspicions, although there's no reason at all you should have to eat it since hitting the crystal during first phase would put you out of range of that attack (unless for some reason you move away from it?) and there's no way you'd get hit by it once you're slapping Banyakas itself, on an unrelated note, I guess he didn't like being bishslapped so many times... he came back with a vengeance and farts lasers that fail to render 40% of the time... still gets bishslapped hard tho.
Edit... ok so farts is not censored while there's a few words here and there that are yet have no possible way to be understood in a bad/disrespectful way (unless viewed from a religious PoV maybe?)...
One per run.
Yeah I know it used to yield one per run, but then I did it a few times after ninja patch and didn't get them (think I got eases instead maybe?)
It's currently one per run, I do a few runs here and there since it's only a minute or less depending on class when nothing is going on. The other stuff that drops isn't too bad either as it still has mwa, goldfinger tokens, etc.
