I respectfully have to disagree

You start by attacking the ritualist, but at the same time, you can kill the knights. The nice thing is, the knights use Triple Chop. You can spike one knight for (at 16 tactics and if you use deadly riposte as well) 37+37+84+79+bleeding when he hits you with Triple Chop. That is a STAGGERING amount of damage for having never targeted the knight. You build adren for your sword skills and and pound the ritualist while killing the knights at the same time. In fact, you will actually kill the ritualist after the knights this is so effective. If you have melee fighters in any group, nothing is faster than glads and riposte(s).

But this just displays the beauty that is Guild Wars. Many ways to accomplish the same thing.

Ghial is you target. TS helps you against Ghial when he slows you down. Riposte and D Riposte, will do nothing for you when facing Ghial. That is the reason that I wouldn't use them in this situation. Farming Melee bosses, I wouldn't go with anything but Riposte and D Riposte. But for Ghial it is best to if you use other skills. Helps against Ghial and then you can go after the Monk boss that is close to him. Get a green Drop from him too.

very nice build only no staff for me yet

i only changed final trust for silverwing slash because that wont kill your adrenaline.

Phouse · Jul 04, 2006, 03:52 PM // 15:52

Got my staff after 10 attempts

Its a pain in the ass if Ghial gets a golem though, is there any way to beat him if he does get a flesh golem?

jaibas17 · Jul 05, 2006, 01:02 AM // 01:02

move back a few steps, enough that the golem will follow and ghial will attack, but on your radar ghial is SLIGHTLY awayfrom aggro circle.

doing this, when you kill the flesh golem, ghial wont be in range to spawn another one

If he comes too finish off brotherhood that came with him first.
Kill his golem then switch to him and hit disrupting chop and finish him off.

W/N seems to work even better than the w/me build.
Even with the ritualist healing you can take him and the others down.
Don't bother going after the ritualist though.

Attachment 24389

There is much humor in that second screen shot...here I thought you had yet another Grenth's Balance build and it turns out you use consume corpse...

Question: Do you even have enough attributes in death magic to make real use of a 10e necro skill? If you only use it to remove corpses why not Putrid Explosion (5e)? With an energy intensive build like this one I must be missing something on the Consume Corpse, unless of course you are really getting alot of energy by spending alot of attributes on death.

lennymon · Jul 05, 2006, 06:29 PM // 18:29

putrid is also 10 energy and has a 5 second recharge, and consume has even at 0 death (or 1 or 2) some small return (25 health AND 5 energy at 0 death).

mikomai · Jul 05, 2006, 11:26 PM // 23:26

hi, i wanna ask that which armor work best with this build ?

sajun · Jul 05, 2006, 11:50 PM // 23:50

great guide btw, been using it for quite awhile now (it's funded 3 sets of 15k armor plus a lot of jade purchasing), i modified the build just a little for when i do it cuz i dont have healing hands

vigorous spirit
dragon slash (e)
galrath slash
silverwing slash
tiger stance
sprint
dolyak signet
mending

and i just make sure the corpses disappear b4 i pull him so he doesnt animate a golem, and if he does, you can either (a) pull the golem away from him past the 2nd bridge, or (b) i sometimes just power through him healing himself through the golem cuz im lazy

and the armor i use is gladiator's, with knight boots.. use either sskai sword or victo's blade, with merki's gaze as my shield

Stee Janz · Jul 06, 2006, 05:11 AM // 05:11

Cool. I am glad you like it and nice adjustment. I use it alot in factions. You should try your build with Darkwish to see how you do.

Jayden_Angelus · Jul 06, 2006, 05:59 PM // 17:59

Only real adjustment I did with this build, was took out Galrath slash and included Gash. You're target will already be bleeding from sever artery, and this way you hit them with a deep wound, followed by final thrust when the Rit is down half health, he'll drop even more.

I also found that going out of the market place into the budek byway to the skyway transition was easier then running from senji's corner. Just be careful of the Am Fah rangers before you get to the transition as they poison the hell out of you and watch out for spike trap. If they cripple you you're toast because you won't have enough healing (even with healing hands) to counter act the poison and their attacks.

I'm also running an attribute spread of 10 healing, 12 str, 12 sword. I thought about going with superior strength but 590 health just seemed to be more important. I've gotten Ghial to drop the staff twice, and hoping to get a few more. I also went with a Furious Falcion of Fortitude for 10% double adrenaline and +30 health. Also have Exhalted Aegis and decked out in full Knights gear with Sup Absorption and Sup Vigor.

As to what to do when you get more then one Rit coming at you at a time as well as with the Flesh Golem, run back a bit and pull one of them, just keep inching your way back and you'll have seperated them enough so that you only take on one, and he won't be getting healed from the other one. So I recommend bringing a long bow for that.

I really like this build, and I got the staff on my first attempt which was even cooler. LOL I also got Ghial to drop a gold as well as his green that time too.

Hakuin · Jul 07, 2006, 04:42 AM // 04:42

i got my staff a few days back... the 2nd time i killed him.... took me a while to get a hang of it, but once i did, he went down wasy every time.

Reject Hustler · Jul 07, 2006, 05:32 AM // 05:32

Sever Artery

Doylak Not sure if you really need...nice armor boost)
Healing Hands
Mending (Healing breeze works well too)
Sprint (For the run)

Tested this build on Royen, but wont work. You cant do enough damage, and Royen uses Troll Unguent the whole time.
2nd time i changed Tiger Stance with Distraction Blow. Didnt work either. Troll Unguent has 10 sec recharge time, Distraction 20 sec.
So i dont know how you did it then. I might try to switch to axe and use Dusrupting Blow.

Anyways, thanks for the build. Its pretty easy to get Ghial down.
