Was not as bad as I thought it would be…I always avoided “timed” conquests/achievements because I thought I would be terrible at them and I tend to lose my patience quickly so I would give up after a couple tries. It was actually quite easy, insanely easy actually but I was on a DH and put everything I could in speed increasing effects. Also had Danetta’s set which is the main reason why I think I got it…pretty much zipped around no problem.
Most important thing for me is that it was actually fun…even if I didn’t get it a few times I would have continued to try. Forgot to mention I got it on the first try.
anyone having problems with this just try it out it’s not that bad
gl for the rest of the season

I agree. I tried to avoid this conquest for a long time, until I tried it once. It is actually pretty easy for DHs, not just since this patch or the recent buffs to UE and Shadow.
Other good option for DHs are
- S6
- regular UE with Chain of Shadows and Impale instead of Companion => Full UE-Damage and unlimited Vault.

Yeah, it’s nowhere near as bad as it sounds.
I’ve done it with an UE DH and a WW Barb the previous two seasons and am looking forward to giving it a go with a WD this time round.

The first time I tried it was with a Akkahn Crusader, with all the cooldown the set requires, all I had to do was put Swiftmount in the cube or equip it and get permanent Steed Charge. Blasted through it on the second attempt. Would have done it on the first but I got lost on the way to Adria.
When they buffed LoN a couple of seasons ago, I made a LoN Multi-shot for a DH and blasted through that conquest with 5 minutes to spare. It is supremely enjoyable. I agree.
It’s definitely a fun conquest, and everyone should give it a try. Later in the season it’s super easy - as many other conquests - but early on it’s actually a lot of fun with a group as it’s the only conquest that really requires group coordination when you do it super early in the season (like, before paragon 200). I wrote a guide for it many many moons ago, I guess it’s still relevant, as it stayed the same:

Secret is to start the conquest with Adria bounty first.
This is the longest and potentially ruining part of conquest.
Also getting Queen Araneae as bounty is almost a guarantee you will finish well ahead of time limit.
It does well to practice all the bosses to get the fastest route for all.
And my favorite is WW barb with all movement speed runes on.
Mathaiel is by far the hardest and longest. I would think you should start with him.
Na they changed that a long time ago dude.
I did this like 2 seasons ago with chicken helltooth WD and found it quite easy.
I think you’re talking about two different things. Malthael is the hardest and longest fight. That’s why you should start with him. The way to Malthael is super short, yes - just turn left from the waypoint (used to be right). Adria and Urzael are now the longest ways, I’d say.
At T10, all the bosses can be one-shot. The only thing with Maltheal and Diablo is their fithts are divided into more than one round and they have ridiculously long death animations. That is why I like to leave one of them for last.
I do that Conquest with the most-difficult-to-find or longest-cutscene bosses first.
Thus, I get the Act order, 5, 4, 3, 1, 2.
Burn time right at the beginning to make it up later if needed.
