The build i posted for Totem Axe farming is kinda ugly/outdated - what i would recommend is going N/E for Storm Djinn's Haste and applying AotL, Djinn's and Hexer's, in that order, to run through. That way, you can maintain regeneration - just make sure not to cancel Hexer's, or to reapply it if you have the cancel it. After that, it should be a breeze. However, don't let my template bind you - there's a million ways to do that run effectively, including wacky SS builds and N/R bow builds - hell, i'd bet N/D would work too. i'll theorycraft for a little and get back to you on that.

Well i have been trying the build for the glacial stone farm. I cant seem to keep them in a spot so they all die. they all seem to scatter, and i eventually die. Not sure what i am doing wrong, i try to get them to a wall on their left and my right, i think that is what was said. Anyway, i was wondering if someone could be kind enough to show me the trick to kill them. Thanks in advance.

haven' t tried the run since the nerf, but i'd guess that with a high health total (~135, maybe a bit more) and Spirit Bond, you should be able to score kills. The run will most likely be a lot less efficient than it once was, though.

I apologize for not updating the guide through a lot of the skill changes and other updates - I'm just too bored with GW.

On a brighter note, DNKP is now easy as hell since the Lingering Curse update.

Try Luxon Assassins in the Halcyon Job, or the first 6 Jade warriors in the Bazaar.

Hi, thx for your guide Taco!

I've farmed hydras for a long time, and now I was trying to farm Diviner's Ascent. However I can't hold more than 15 seconds against jade scarabs, chillbains rips my enchantments and they steal life more than making damage, so PS is useless. So, how you can farm them?

Also, I haven't found yet, nor drake bosses nor hydra bosses, where are they? xD

Thx, and happy new year everybody

Hey Fuzzy, Can you elaborate more on the 600 nec. I've been using it and love the concept of it. Can you list more farming areas and variants that will work. Thx - Crux x

[Protective [email protected]][Spirit [email protected]][Shield of [email protected]]
The MUST haves of the 600.
You'll want some energy, so [Essence Bond] is nice.
And since you're already speced into Prot (and your smiter is 12/12 for Smiting and Divine) you'll be the one running [Life [email protected]] and [Vital [email protected]]

That leaves you with 2 skill slots, and a huge amount of attributes.

What your elite is depends on your area. [Reaper's [email protected]] [Spiteful [email protected]] [Lingering [email protected]] [Soul [email protected]] [Icy [email protected]] [Wail of [email protected]] are some good choices just off the top of my head. With your last skill slot, bring something to add to your elite ([[email protected]] is always cool) or something to make up for what your elite doesn't have (Some anti-healing if you need to, or a cover hex.)

You can't farm areas with a lot of healing, a lot of enchantment removal, or a lot of damage that goes under spirit bond.
Just try places out. Easiest way to see if it works.

But to keep you busy, all of Vabbi can be vanq'd with a 600 necro.

[Balthazar's Spirit] >>>> [Essence Bond] if you are self targeting. BS triggers on zero damage, while EB does not.
Of course, with [[Shield of Absorption] to negate damage, either one works.

Very yes.

However, as a necro 600, your smiter (who is tied to 12 smite 12 divine in most areas) has few options for maintains, so you can almost always have both on you.

Thanks to everyone who helped in making this guild it was really helpful for me since I just started playing gw and I know nothing about efficient farming and stuff.

But I have a few questions /noob questions / :

I have problems getting these skills :

Insidious Parasite
Spiteful Spirit
Essence Bond

Since I started my hero in the Factions campaign I have no idea how to get to Talus Chute or Snake Dance for example to get SS. I can already travel to Lion's Arch but I have no idea how to get to Shiverpeak Mountains(to get ss). I also have no idea how to get to any of the trainers who teach Essence Bond. =[ And how can I go to Yak's Bend to get Insidious Parasite ? It would've been so much easier if I had started my hero in the prophecies campaign. Or if you just tell me the easiest ways to get the skills. Help please
If you guide me in any way how to get to these places I'd by really thankful.

The normal way is to do missions starting at Lion's Arch. D'Alessio is right outside LA.
If you want to just skip, then you can run from LA to Yak's, then map back to Beacon's Perch and get a run there to Droknar's Forge(2K?).
Or, you can just get 5K Balthazar faction, unlock them, and use tomes.
