They're mostly for UWSC rather than solo farming. There is a teambuild on Pvx.

A/E usually means Perma. glyph of swiftness, deadly paradox, shadow form, i am unstopable, dwaven whatever, dark escape, dash, and probably something like death charge or whatever the name is.

so they tank whilst all the cryers own everything.

I know about UWSC and perma tanks, but these are solo permas. Instead of using A/me they are a/e. i know the basics to the builds and how its used. What i'm trying to find out is if people are soloing Tomb of the Primeval Kings with Silver armor? i thought it got nerfed quite a bit and really doesn't do much now.

There was a solo a/e build but that was before the 33% damage nerf I think

I might be possible but I've never tried it so don't take my word for it

They are using A/E sliver build to solo clear the tombs.

A/E sliver can kill everything in the place, including the worms (which i believe the A/Me has trouble with). Takes about an hour and half (post-nerf)

You may be noticing more of them because of the double green drop weekend coming up. I've had up to 7 greens drop on a non-double day. Thinking of clearing once this weekend just to see what would happen.

[A/E sliver;OwZjkwf84QSf8I6MID5i8QpiAAA]

the empty slot can be anything you like: smooth criminal can give an extra 5 energy for an emergency, a speed skill can get you out of trouble if you mis cast sf, if you take a hero along recall can pop you back to the hero and out of danger, etc.

Yes it can be done solo after the damage reduction and even with the shorter duration using a perma dagger build it just takes a very long time now. The sliver farmers are probably just hitting the first group of dreamriders and dryders for ectos then rezoning.

Used to be 2 permas and an orders necro could clear tombs in 20 min or less netting about 8-10k in drops each plus the occasional ecto. I'm sure it still works but too slow now to be worth it imo.

Could also be underachieving ecto farmers. Just kill the Terrorwebs and Dream Riders, then resign.

I farm there on my assasin too and both the posts above are spot on

Some days i go for a couple of ecto runs and others i do a full clear out which probably takes about 1 hour 30 or more depending on coffee breaks

The perma sliver form and old school dagger builds nets me alot of drops compared to the older metor shower /bed of coals builds too for what it's worth...
