Failed Bosses
Acolyte of Grenth
Reason: His avatar beats mine

.. Enchantments are striped, therefore you have no self heal and die..
Acolyte of Dwayna
Reason: She heals too much, so nobody dies.
Acolyte of Lyssa
Reason: Same as Above.

Attributes

12 Tactic
16 Mysticism (+3 +1)

Skills
1.Riposte
2.Deadly Riposte
3.Bonetti's Defense
4.Heart of Fury
5.Mystic Vigor
6.Faithful Intervention
7.Watchful Intervention
8.Avatar of Melandru {E}

Skill Usage
*Spam - Riposte / Deadly when boss starts attacking till hes dead
*Bonetti's if u mess up.. gives u chance to recover (optional slot rly)
*All the skills from 4 - 8 must be casted before boss hits you {i.e before u aggro..}
*Try to keep the 4 - 8 skills up as much as u can especially 5 & 7

Take hench / heros to clear up the annoying pests near the boss.
NOTE !! Do Not follow the Skill Usage section while with hench clearing up the area.. "But.... why not ?" theres a chance the boss dies before-hand and u can say byebye to the green and have to restart the run.

This build is very easy to use, i suggest u read the skills if u dont know wat they do.. its a mistake most ppl do wen trying new builds.. Honestly if u r using skills that u dunno what they do, then u belong in hospital..

Template
AaISFzyzghwwXE3f3yL4V+C
{For who doesnt know what to do, Open the directory where GW is installed.. theres a folder called Templates, open, create a TxT Doc, Name it wtvr the hell u want.. open the new txt doc and paste the template inside.. Done..}
Ps. if you dont have all the skills dont bother with the template lol.. it will just leave blank spaces

Weapons
Requirements:Any Sword, Max Def Tactic shield.

Recommended:

Notes:
*DONT let the boss die while hench are near.. just clear the others then flag them anywhere far away enough so that their names go gray in party list. This means all drops in ur area will drop assigned to you.

*When under the effects of DP, check if u have enough energy to cast the avatar.. If not, use a staff or anything to give energy boost just to cast the avatar ONLY. As soon as avatar is up switch back to Sword / Shield. There are other ways to reduce DP like Candy Canes or buying Morale Boost at res shrines.. (staff switching is cheapest..)

Notes:
*I picked this boss and made a build for this only.. I'm sure you can use different Elites for different bosses etc..
*The boss can be found in Sunward Marches, if u follow the same path as the mini-map provided you will find its the best route coz you dont rly fight any other mobs.
*DONT let hench kill the boss.. just clear the others then flag them anywhere far away enough so that their names go gray in party list. This means all drops in ur area will drop assigned to you.

Good comment: Good job! Nice guide

Pojnx · Dec 29, 2006, 12:06 AM // 00:06

The thread has had a nice update and i`d like to hear some more comments about my build thnks

Ecksor · Dec 29, 2006, 05:32 AM // 05:32

this looks very promising, i haven't been on the game in awhile, but i will try this soon.

Fiddlers Black · Dec 29, 2006, 12:24 PM // 12:24

pffff you suck anyway ... (good job m8 )

Pojnx · Dec 29, 2006, 01:45 PM // 13:45

meshultis · Dec 31, 2006, 01:35 AM // 01:35

still on noob island

but looks good.

vespertine · Dec 31, 2006, 03:15 AM // 03:15

well.. don't get me wrong, but what do u want to hear? "great job for soloing a melee boss with stupid ai, after taking down the mob with a whole group"?

you could easily achieve this with almost anything.. mo/me, n/any, e/any, even with a mesmer..

anyways.. nice, extensive guide..

1st of all its nice to see that theres at least 1 thread for a dervish farmer.. second of all u might wanna think twice about the "i can kill any boss i like with my eyes shut".. not all bosses are easily farmed.. there are some , yes but i`d like to see u solo (Just an example of a strong boss) Acolyte of Balthazar with a mo/me , n/any , e/any or a mesmer..
By good & also bad comments i meant like, suggesting a better skill selection or if u think theres a better way of laying out guide, like what Puebert done when i first submitted the thread.
If all u have to say is crap, with a little good job at the end to sound nice, then just don't reply

i`m sure others will find it useful and appreciate the fact i`m trying to help others instead of being selfish.

Hell Raiser · Jan 01, 2007, 01:07 AM // 01:07

Nice build, I didn't see acolyte of melundra on there, so I went ahead and tried (but I switched out Avatar of Melundra for Lyssa for extra dmg) and killed her quite quickly, although I may have been lucky, once I had the hench flagged away her avatar dropped so no extra health and she started bleeding.

Pojnx · Jan 01, 2007, 11:48 AM // 11:48

k cool, thanks for telling me, i must have skipped accidently while going through the acolytes.. i`m still trying on alot of different bosses, the listed are what i done so far

.. not much time to do so atm tho coz of new years etc.. btw HAPPY NEW YEAR !!

i allways appreciate guides for whatever subject, but especially melee boss farming is the easiest thing to do all over gw..

i admit, i had a bad day yesterday and the criticism wasn't fully appropriate, i just can't stand people who request praising comments.. but whatever.. like i said before.. gj Pojnx

for farming with ...
mo/me.. sv/av and/or diversion ftw..
me/any Ineptitude, arcane echo, empathy and interupt of choice.. you won't even got hurt
e/any blinding surge ftw..

jase the warrior · Jan 01, 2007, 05:41 PM // 17:41

Nice Guide, Detialed i like guides with pictures

i'm lazy and dont like reading :P

Tingi · Jan 01, 2007, 06:37 PM // 18:37

Nice guide and build. But just a question - is it better than the W/N grenths build? Or worse?

I wouldnt really say if its better or worse.. i didnt make this build to be better than the w/n grenths.. it was just an inspiration.. the main idea about the build is the same but its using a different profession so its a new challange..

Ok np, we all have bad days now and then.. but to be honest the picture u posted was of a 55 sv necro.. and thats 1 of the least challenging & very common builds..

And dont forget not everyone has the option to use any profesion they like,, if someone has a dervish and hes interested in a build for dervish, where is he gona find 1 if nobody posts 1.. i dont have this problem coz i have all the professions with all 3 maps but i know a few people who do have that problem.. and u might say its their fault if they want they can grab a n/mo and 55 sv it, but some people wont want to and they dont have to.. (sry if im not making any sense but i had a rough day myself today..)

i could've cleared the entire mob before and then i'd easily could take it down with ss/insidious/enfeeble and some sort of self heal..

the point i just wanted to prove is, that the ai of melee bosses is just terrible.. mo/me/rt and ele boss farming is what really is challenging..

but anyways.. i allready said enough in this thread that has nothing to do with the topic itself, so i'll just shut up and leave..

sumasage · Jan 04, 2007, 07:19 AM // 07:19

Thanks for the guide -- it worked!

I'm trying to farm Suli's Scythe and the dam boss is not dropping it (6 runs already) .... guess i gotta be more patient.

Pojnx · Jan 04, 2007, 08:12 AM // 08:12

ye been a while since i got a green too.. i checked updates to see if drops are still split even if hench are far, didnt find anything.. i guess we`re just unlucky
