You might want to consider www.gwpvx.com. The most editors left wikia and gone to this side. The wikia one is therefore getting outdated.

But on the new site it is still in the meta-category, so yes it should still work.

also see this note: http://http://pvx.wikia.com/wiki/News/20110206

Just used it the past weekend for Easter drops. Works great. Just don't expect a whole lot of nice drops outside of holiday events.

This is the build I roll with: http://www.gwpvx.com/Special:PvXDeco...ame=&Go=Submit

Full Blessed and Attunements other than the +4 Shadow Arts headpiece.

I use the A/Mo version, and yes, it still works well. There might be slightly quicker versions, but the A/Mo is very safe (I'm currently 5 mil into legendary survivor XD).

To comment on the gold drops, I averaged 84 this past weekend per stack of eggs and bunnies I collected.

I've never tried the A/Mo, wouldn't the AoE cause them to scatter? Or do you have to wall them?

I used both this past weekend both A/Mo and A/Me. The A/Me is faster im not good at posting bars so heres the skills list i used.

Deadly Paradox
Shadow Form
Shroud of Distress
Great Dwarven Armor
Arcane Echo
Wastrels Demise
Dark Escape
Channeling

Full blessed Armor, Shield +30/+10 vs Earth, Sword/Axe/Spear with 20% ench.

I used this with Great Dwarven Armor to ensure I dont take damage and get Legendary Survivor. I maxed my survivor during the holiday event.

Very fast, safe and easy bar to use once you get it down. If you feel Great Dwaven Armor is over kill just drop it for BYH for more damage output and faster kill.

Way of Perfection is better than GDA, IMO. It lasts longer and you'll still take 0 damage with SoD, WoP and SF up. Less upkeep to worry about.

Edit: Wasn't BUH nerfed?

I still prefer mantra of earth over channeling - dark escape i dont use but i do use 1 extra sin enchant and i also dont use Sod as its rare instance where i do take dmg .Armor i dont use blessed but full radiant and energy runes.

And i was wondering as well why BuH - somehow a rez skill isnt needed ( it was turned to res instead of dmg boost a month or 2 ago )

SoD is needed, no way will you be able to do this without it as a sin primary.

I suppose Radiant and e runes are useful but it makes life more difficult for you if not impossible(unsure) and channeling/mantra keep your energy at max almost entirely so there is no need for it.

BUH was nerfed but I wouldn't go in without GDA/WoP anyway as you'd have a difficult time living with the 36 mob ball.

Huh ?
So my sin who has been farming this since the sf changes over a year ago - infact there was a post about a/me a few days after which actually showed whats needed.

Sin has 70 ar , the 2 enchants give 10 reduction in dmg between them , gda gives extra ar and the ar from the modded shield - this when going means zero dmg and the only dmg can come from very small packets that happens between enchants which you recast an enchant.
Now you should easily have enough dmg reduction and ar to sit in the mob for an hr easily and take no dmg.
Also mantra of earth can give slight dmg reduction as well.
Also as a side note - when you say my sin cant do it then in theory me/a with same build as my sin - only difference is sin has radiant armor and mes uses blessed - then my mes shouldnt be able to farm them without sod as well ? Soz to say but she can farm as me/a with no difference in speed and has same survivability rate as sin.
I dont use sod myself because the other 2 enchants i use instead have a faster recharge and if the sf bug shows ( sometimes an enchant renewal is needed to restart dmg reduction ) then your covered without needing a heal.

Plz do try it how i suggested and you will see what i mean - it does work without sod and 2 enchants instead.

SoD isn't needed, but I like not having to keep renewing enchants when the damage reduction cuts off. Also makes it much easier and I don't see how not bringing it would speed up the runs any.

You will always make gold with whatever you do. Vaettirs isn't very profitable though, wouldn't recommend it outside event drops.

Most places will give golds but vaetires do have several factors that affects things - Your killing only 2 mobs even tho the total of foes is 60 and thats done via aoe usually which lessens drops.
Ive done raptor farming years ago on sin and even recently leeched a few runs on sin and tbh 34 foes doesnt give that many gd drops.
But raptors ( or even snowmen 1st 2 waves only ) are a lot faster than vaetires and over time will get maybe more golds than vaetires.
Its taken me before maybe 90 mins ( several inturptions in game play ) to be fully laden with golds tomes etc and used a few merch stones.
You will get runs when you get absolute crap , you will also get runs with several golds.But you will get a mix of runs that just go by luck and will be gd or bd drops - thats life sadly and we all suffer from it constantly in gw .. so welcome to the club :P
