Awesome idea i'm off to test it out ^^

was already looking for some solo uw or fow when i was browsing

nvm lol í get it better now :P

i didn't use reversal and the weapon spell enough previously, spamming those spells makes it way harder to get interupted with the important skills ^^

Hello ive got a few comments/questions on the build.

I deceided to give it a try earlier but havent really been able to do anything too useful with it maybe im just doing the wrong areas/making mistakes.

Ive been farming with my rit alot before but ive always used either a splinter barrage build in stygian veil or just arcane echo'd VwK in a couple of HM areas when i was bored.

I tried this build in nahpui quarter and couldnt seem to farm much there. There was a type of enemy called Star Light. I wasnt able to kill these almost. sometimes one would die if i had a big group on me and i got lucky but usually im left with these alive after the pack is dead and then they would slowly kill me by wanding with nightmare weapon and keeping themselves healed with wielders boon. I tried to ignore them and keep going with 1 or 2 alive but didnt get too far and couldnt seem to farm much in that area. Is there a specific route to go and maybe a tactic for killing the star lights. WHen 1 is left my energy is too low and doesnt increase enuogh to use reversal of damage/vengeful weapon spam.

Ive also tried it in a few other areas that i did ae'd vwk before. For example in plains of jarin HM. I was killing the ranged insects faster but the melee ones seemed no different they would still run from me although i would always kill them.

Does anyone know some particularly good areas where this build really shines. I really dont wanna do uw i dont go in there since getting my fow armor i just hated the deaths and wasted 1k due to silly things and never liked how trash the drops were as they are uninscribable and i always got really crappy mods.

About star lights.... It's simple.. you DONT kill them... just run through till they loose aggro. If there's many enemies besides a star light you stay and fight cause the star light wont be able to heal them all. If there's few enemies you go forward untill u collect a big enough mob that he cant heal.

For naphui, you want to use weapon of warding - NOT reversal of damage. WoW allows you to fight bigger mobs. IMO Naphui is not worth your time. Chances of getting a 15^50 or +5energy are like 1 in 10000000000 and the rest is merchant fodder. Do you really want to waste your time?

Luxon Assasins is the only thing that is GUARANTEED to give you at least 5k in 30 min. No other farm aside from UW can do that do my knowledge.

Farming the Djinn's, you mainly just want to kill Sapphire and Ruby Djinns, which both are pretty easy to kill. Diamond's are not worth farming, since they take along time to kill no matter what. Just kill the Ruby and Sapphire Djinn's and move on far as possible. I don't pretty sure you can't take out the whole group of Djinn's in the explorable mission. It's also best to keep Spirit Bond on with VwK active. You can also try it in NM and you might beable to clear everything out in first chamber. I haven't had enough time to try every farming place out yet. It's a work in progress, to take it and test it everywheres and see if the build works good or not. You guys can help out on that area and just let me know if the build is having a hard time killing certain monsters I mentioned or areas. The main thing about this build, is you cannot take on big mobs of enemies since Spirit Bond ends so fast with more than 7-8 enemies attacking, especially with alot of casters on top of few melee attacking. Full melee groups is easier since they run off for a bit and give Spirit Bond a chance to last long enough to use again.

By the way... Where do you farm kappa, naga, djinn, skale and insects? Never seen those farms on forums.

How do you kill the ritualists with the wielder's boon and nightmare?..the healing outdoes my damage

Edit: Err, nevermind. Missed a post about it.

Farming Naphui Quarter you only take out the Warriors and Rangers then move on. The Star lights will follow you for a bit, but just make sure you don't take on more than 6 or 7 enemies at one time. Also, when Star Lights use Nightmare Weapon, use Spirit Bond no matter if VwK is being use or not. This will keep your health. When your energy is low its best to try to run and get some aggro right off, and try to save enough energy to hit Spirit Bond and Protective Spirit. Then use VwK and let energy gain up, and not spam Vengeful Weapon or Reversal of Damage.
Any mele enemy groups that are larger in numbers will run away no matter what when in Hard Mode. This includes the bigger sized Insect groups in Plains of Jarin. Always try to pull a few out at a time, or take them all at once so they do run away and let a few attack you. That actually helps the build out by having them run away, and coming back for more.
This build really shines farming Luxon Sins, they die around the first 8 seconds. And can take out one spawn group with one VwK. Again, I'm still testing the build out in areas, and seeing what its capabilities are. There are some downsides to using Spirit Bond, mainly with big groups of enemies.

TGgold · Jul 11, 2007, 02:19 AM // 02:19

So, I have no idea where those luxon sins are. Is this supposed ot be common knowledge or something.

I watched the video..it looks like they're around eredon terrace or something...yet I still have no idea >_> Anybody want to fill me in?

Vexed · Jul 11, 2007, 05:38 AM // 05:38

This build is working great in Fahranur, the First City in Hard Mode. Clears the skales and the undead with ease (undead doubly so, retribution dealing holy damage), including the warrior and dervish bosses in the temple. Good times, tons of golds, tomes, and even a few elite tomes from the bosses and chests. Best part, it goes about twice as fast as my monk farmer.

I can't get enough, lol... knew it was gonna be worth it to hang onto my rit

Yeah, alot of people ask the same question. You have to get the quest called "The Hacylon Job" from Captian Lexis in Cavalon. Then go to Zos Shivros Channel, exit town in HM to Boreas Seabed. Run past the big ship and ignore the star on map for the quest if activated. Keep the quest in log and never complete it. Keep going north until you see the warrior boss, then go northwest and you see a bridge. Once you get to the bridge a Luxon sin group will spawn soon as you cross. Then for each NPC you approach within earshot after the bridge... will spawn more Luxon Sins, as seen in the video. Have Fun, and hopefully you didn't finish the quest.

If you did finish the quest, you can also get a quest called "Street Justice" from Emperor's Hand in Raisu Pavilion. Can only be obtained after completing the "Naga Oil" quest which is also obtained from Emperor's Hand.

oh_oh_joe · Jul 11, 2007, 06:45 AM // 06:45

Yea, its still faster than on my monk o.O, I'm using Alem's Remedy at the moment. Only good rit staff i have, besides using a +5 energy weapon without an off hand.

Or, if you're Kurzick-allied, you can suicide right outside of Zos Chivros and pop up right next to said bridge. Handy!

Ok I tested the build on Djinns. In NM, they don't attack fast enough so you have to be careful not to spam too many spells. In HM, your Spirit Bond will end in like 3 seconds so you must remember to keep spamming it. I can't kill the diamonds even with scourge healing in NM, but in HM i can but it took too long time to do so. Also, the Sapphire Djinns in HM will also heal a lot so will also take a very long time to kill (even with Scourge Healing). IMO, although this build can kill them mobs there but it takes too long so it might not be worth it.

On the other hand, I found this build to be quite effective in Vehjin Mines if you come from Basalt Grotto. Just remember to bring Scourge Healing for their healings.

Will try the build on other different areas...

Yeah, I know what you mean. Dasha Vestibule has bigger mobs, which can cause alot of problems. Definately can't clear out chamber because of that, and Diamonds not dying is a pain. There are other places to farm Djinn that have small mobs. You shouldn't need Scourge Healing... hmmm. Without a Diamond in their group they should go down rather fast. But I only tested them out once, ill give it another try when my connection is working right again.

I always popped up at the res shrine to the west, not the one near the bridge. If I get past the boat, and then die, though,I pop up at the bridge. =)

It's best just to run there without dying

So that way you don't have DP for the first 2 groups of sins. But I guess do what you want... I'll give it a try sometime.

Update Edit: I tried it out, and it works. I went and killed myself to the lower right path by ship...and it took me all the way there.

But nvm about that, thanks!
