Default A/Me Cobalt Talon Farm (Traveler item for the week of May 23, 2011)



Blessed insignias help. Shields with +10 vs blunt help. Other than that, it's pretty self explanatory.

Template Code: OwVSM4PTRQLB6MHQmAsixlul



Attributes:
Shadow Arts 12+1+3
Inspiration Magic 12

You can expect to kill 300-330 enemies per hour with this setup. Don't bother killing the paragons. They take too long. 18 runs/hour killing about 17 foes per run, depending on spawn.

Anything works. More is better.

I just mapped into town 10 times and ran to the appropriate exit. Including loading time, my average was a hair under 11 seconds. Also, though the video is 3:32 long, you will notice the 1st 9 seconds are an intro, where I'm not doing anything, and the rest of the non-paragon enemies die at 3:26. That is a 3:17 run, with 2 seconds to pick up the 1-3 drops from the warriors, and the 11 seconds of zoning time, that is exactly 3:30. Your 13 run/hour estimation would require you to take 78 seconds to find the door each time you map. Let's everyone chip in and buy this man a GPS. I'm just messin' with you. Have a good one.

I usually do, but I know someone would have whined about me not being solo in the video. It's a good way to go, though. Cheers.

No spells are being cast because you have SF up. If you take it off, this happens:

Stop hating, run works perfectly fine and you can manage even to do 20 in an hour if you got game.

haters gon' hate.

I dont really see any hate there in the post you were quoting. nowhere was any flame about using PvE Skills, Assassin... or even gasp Shadow Form...

Darkness was pretty objective. and comented on the video taking 3:30 to complete. This means that theoretically in 60 minutes you can complete 17,14 runs... now if you count zoning, completing the run, zoning back to town, orientating yourself intown to find the correct exit and running to the exit into the equation, then 13 runs per hour seems more realistic than lets say 20 runs which means that you are skipping all the above steps plus your runs are 30 seconds faster than in the video.

Good build anyways, thanks. Ill give it a shot later this week probably.

I am not a hater at all. It is a good way of farming nick's item. From the blackness came up with the prototype of the build, I was just suggesting to make this farm faster.
