Gauntlet-Checklist
Defeating the Gauntlet is the pinnacle of challenges for the end-of-retail, Tier 8 content. It is especially challenging due to the 60 minute time limit and the limit of 2 fellowships per group (18 characters). Because of this, characters participating need to come well prepared for the challenge.
A suggested group make up could consist of:
- 3 Life Mages
- 4-6 Void Mages
- A balance of 2h and Missile.
- As few War Mages and 1h Melee as possible.
