im using my own build with no sprint. now after 40-50 runs i got 10 ghials staffs XD (no joke)

the trick is to use totem axe / rajazans fervor and a collectors shield with -2 +45 while ench (wajjun-basar)
for the run and use hh be4 the first group. then its no problem with some experience.

i got
10+1+2 Sword
11+1 Str
10 Heal

Sever Artery
Gash
Galrath
Final Thrust / (Factions Galrath sth with silver)
Tiger Stance
Dolyak
HH
Mending

use hh second time after u crossed the 2. bridge. be4 aggro the 1st mesmer !
then just run to the first group and kill ritu first ( use hh when the mesmer attacks u)
i got no prob to kill ghial, just pull him (with a mesmer or ritu is no prob too)
then kill the mesmer or ritu (if its mage u dont have to kill it if he hasnt got a golem)
then go back and pull the golem only, now kill golem then ghial.

What really ticks me off is the price of the staffs dropping.I used to be selling em 60k each now they are 35k-45k each.

I have sentinel's armor. That probrably helps. Also the video was from before the -physical damage deal on the armor.

But I have been out since and took a couple people. I took more damage but I still didnt have any problems soloing it.

nice build

Al Andaluz · Aug 10, 2006, 07:50 PM // 19:50

Great build... I've done 2 ghial runs so far without any major problems; bagged his staff on the second run. I've also had similar success using this build on Royen. Thanks.

thescape · Aug 11, 2006, 02:41 PM // 14:41

I haven't had the drop rates you guys have had. I kept track of the runs and found that in 28 runs I only got the staff 2 times. Thats a drop rate of about 7%. Is anyone getting drop rates like this?

Yes, I am doing it solo. Yes, I take precautions to prevent anti-farming from kicking in. What are the drop rates you guys are getting?

I also have noticed a lot of jadite shards dropping. I even got a +50 hp rune on one run. Sweet!

Hey_homies · Aug 14, 2006, 12:39 PM // 12:39

Oh yeah i forgot you can take out tiger stance and put in vigorius spirit,change galrath for gash.Vigorius helps when you pull ghial away from the others to the other small bridge.Activate dolyak and vigorius and you'll heal 15 per attack you hit.And ur taking 10-15 dmg from ghials attacks while having dolyak on.So its basically ur taking no damage from him and if you start to take to much damage or have low health use healing hands to heal up.Then just dish out Sever artery,gash,final thrust repeatly untill hes dead.

Stee Janz · Aug 14, 2006, 07:29 PM // 19:29

The idea behind tiger stance is to increase your rate of attack since Ghial slows you dow with fainthardeness. This just counters his skills he uses against you. If you are having trouble staying alive I would agree with the VS but if your like me and don't have any trouble with staying alive just kill him faster.

Also I do not have knowledge of this or if it has anything to do with the drops. Is doesn't make any since either but I get a better drop rate if I kill him where he stands instead of pulling him. Sometimes you have to pull him but I prefer to kill him where he stands. I have never got the drop pulling him farther than half way down the long bridge.

after a 1 month break from guildwars... i decided to try farm Ghial again using this build and zomg i got my first and ever ghials staff on my first run!! nice build , i have to say it worked marvelously >_< thanks for sharing.

Stee Janz · Aug 23, 2006, 12:14 AM // 00:14

No problem. Thats why we post them.

Sabrina Greavous · Aug 24, 2006, 03:04 PM // 15:04

I can not imagine this run to be any easier. I can only dream how easy it was before. Thanks Stee for the build. I did, however, substitute some spells. I use gash and vigorous spirit. VS+HH+TS FTW. So far, 1 successful run and got my first staff.

Sabrina

Oh and also a superior Vigor and Curses rune.

Rayth3on · Aug 24, 2006, 11:23 PM // 23:23

I was wondering whether anyone else is having trouble with the skill taste of pain. I used to solo Ghial a lot with a different W/Mo build to the OP and never noticed this skill. Is this a new edition, if so how do you counter this?

hawK_Wing · Aug 31, 2006, 02:43 AM // 02:43

this build relies on HH to heal you, so if the damn mesmers interrrupt you, you're screwed. =/ this has happened to me way too many times. =(

Mesmer has only interrupted me once, build works great! Although it took me 12 tries to get staff,

I still got it. Plus, you don't have to kill every single guy in Ghials group. Take out warriors, and guys blocking the entrance so you can get a nice pull. And, even if Ghial spawns a Flesh Golem, you can pull the flesh golem without Ghial even noticing!

boxterduke · Sep 01, 2006, 04:55 PM // 16:55

I think I did about 15 runs or a bit more before it dropped for me.
Too many on the market anyway to make a living out of it since everyone is farming them and its rare that it drops.

So as soon as I got one I gave it to my necro.
Might go back sometime to try it since its a nice run and gives tons of cloth and silk.

I prefer to bring HH and Vigorous Spirit. Lure their interrupt with VS then use HH. VS has a mere 4 second recharge so will be available soon enough.

Unfortunately I am something like 0/15 in my attempts, the greedy bugger

just won't drop the staff for me, even though I've gently assured him that I'll be giving it to my necromancer and not selling it.
