Default A New Way To Make More Money Than A Droks Run.

K, my ign is curse chainbreaker, n i found a way to make tons of money, in "running" a certain mission; imperial sanctum.

I mean, u can kill shiro real easy with an ss/rit build, where u let ur party members keep shiro buzy, n then do shadowsong, reckless haste, price of failure, n then spitefull spirit. this way shiri takes load os dmg cuz he attacks 25% faster, n get 50+ dmg every time he attack/misses.

offcourse shadowsong will die, n u might be the target of shiro. for that u use wailing weapon, since it has 50% chance to block. just run away n start hexing him again. your party members will do dmg too, n u will kill him in no time. a echo nuker works fine here 2, as a backup.

I started askign money for making sure they succeed this mission for the first time tonight. I made 10k in 10 minutes, and half of the party didnt pay up.

If ur good at ss-ing shiro, ur bound to get masters reward if u have non noobs in ur party, else u get medium reward, or if ur a noob whos bad at it, u get low reward or u fail.

The reason i shared my idea with all u guys is becuz i dont wanna be like the inventor of the 55hp monk, cuz some guys r bound to notice me ss shiro, n steal my idea. then i would rather just be the 1 who is known for sharing this idea, then to be some1 who claims to have invented it.

PS: some1 is bound to do this 2, but hast made it public yet.

Hope u guys make tons of money 2.

People actually pay money for getting Masters reward for beating Shiro? He goes down under a minute usually even without any special tricks, and faster if you just have a few wammos wailing at him and using Storm of Swords.

What happens during Meditation of the Reaper, genius?

This isn't running. This is nowhere near soloing. This is just using an effective skillset. This is borderline scamming.

Eh, nice attitude you got there. But he tends to go down anycase pretty fast if you just have enough people around him to make Storm of Swords work even more effectively.

Right, but if he's claiming that he can "run" the mission, he must be able to effectively end Meditation of the Reaper. What he's doing now is basically stating that he's more important than he actually is, which is misleading the foolish minded, which is dictionary-definition scamming.

Oh, I was thinking you were aiming the "genius" comment at me. I have no quarrel about questioning the OP's claim.

i dont see the running part in your post, what u charge people for? to run them from kunnavang to shiro?
they keep him busy, w/mo use storm of sword to intrupt meditation, everyone doing dmg and u doing dmg too, its just a normal team with a necro in it who is doing his job as a member of team...

to the OP, nice to see someone is willing to go out on a limb and offer advice instead of whine like the rest do.

SSing shiro is nothing new tho, SS + MM are the two most used nec builds in most PvE areas..but like i said nice to see a none whinging thread

Maybe he drains all of shiro's energy so he cant perform meditation of the reaper

Uh, I beat him in like 20 seconds the first time... this is basically a scam considering the lack of difficulty in this mission.

It's like saying you're making tons of money running people from Ascalon to the Great Northern Wall. It's easy.

I don't think there are even any monsters on the way through that run...

These are the worst scams I've ever heard.

EDIT: thought you were OP. Silver_Fang/silvershock... w.e

Hey for all of the "scamming" comments the fella *did* post what he does to beat Shiro on one of the biggest GW community sites out there and he did it without having exploited the whole "running" gig too much. At least he deserves some credit for that.

That having been said, yeah Shiro is easy to take down, so charging $ for the service is a bit like charging $ for... idk... a car wash or maybe mowing lawns. But it's done, and people are too busy/lazy to do it themselves so they'll pay up often enough. Plus it's just play money. ~_^

its not running, but providing a service for a fee.

And its not scamming.

I remember a few months after the OG chapter was out there were monks charging to complete missions. Same deal here.

And once Runners were thought of as scammers, now its an accepted profession
