Hi!

just wanted to add a comment:

1. If your suffering from degeneration after everything is dead, spiritbond can't heal you (of course) and you don't want to die, just switch to a weaponset with +60hp and pull of your 2 armorpieces with the superior runes.

2. I love this build...

Cheers MH.

Found an "area", its Eye of the North, the quest Service: In Defense of the Eye, can be used to farm HM, I got through the first 2 waves of each group. Be careful of the Trample, it can end the run.

I've managed to kill a good bunch of Fafnir's wolves in GWEN hard mode but not Fafnir himself just yet.

Hey RezDogg, you might wanna add this to the list.

Norrhart Domains, outside of Gunnar's Hold. You can only kill the groups of Frozen Elementals that don't have an Avalanche in the group. They snare you, Maelstrom you, and use Water Trident on you. Most of the time you'll get your spells interrupted, and you're stuck there also, so in the end, you die.

Other then the Elementals, you can also kill the Mountain Pinesouls. They're all ranged attackers so they don't scatter, and they're drops are slightly better. I suggest you bring Resilient Weapon or another Enchantment Removal though, because when you pick up the loot, you might step on a Barbed Trap, and the Bleeding lasts a long time, and hits you quite hard since you're in very low AL armor. Make sure you cast Protective Spirit on yourself when picking up loot also.

Has anybody found any areas further into GWEN? I've been running a couple other characters through it and have not had the chance to try out the Rit there yet... but I'm starting to miss him. Maybe those raptors or whatever in the Tarnished Coast... anybody given the build a run against Destroyers?

Note: I have found a few decent areas to farm in HM. I have scouted them since before HM came out... some where already mentioned. But I will be making Videos, and adding more farming areas to the list with maps this time, so you will know exactly where they are located. I should be working on new videos later tonight. I will make a seperate video for each area, as some are fairly long runs...

Raptors have Disrupting Stab which is pretty difficult to work with since it disables the skill it interrupted... although you can get lucky and kill a group. But, that ain't exactly a successful farm. Just sux so many melee in gwen have interruptions... im guessin there won't be too many easy spots to farm. So far the areas I have found can be alittle harder than the usual farms... but fairly easy once u get used to it.

I have tried them, and it ain't that successful. They have interruptions that disable your skills, and will easily kill you. Possible to take on acouple at a time, but ones near boss all aggro at once.

Also, if you have high enough Asuran rank and fighting melee mobs, bring radiation field. The time it takes to kill the stonewolves are just surreal. The DOWNSIDE is: you get less drop as they seem to be dying at around the same time (or may be I just have bad luck). But the time you save on killing them and them running away is enough to compensate for that.

Go go everyone go find more spots XD

You take Pain Inverter instead of RoD to speed things up for bigger groups... especially ones that run away. It will either kill them in a few seconds, or lower their health enough for them to die sooner when fleeing back and fourth. Pain Inverter is also great for taking out bosses in some areas.

I don't have any problems with Stonewolves. They go down fairly fast... just depends on how many u take on at a time. Make sure your in Hard Mode also while using the build, otherwise it will seem slow... mainly because enemies attack slower in Normal Mode.

I never said you have problems with stonewolves ^^. Yes the stonewolves by themselves go down pretty fast in HM. I was just suggesting another way to make them go down even faster. usually they're dead before they even come back from the scatter (and before my 2nd VwK ends, sometimes dun even need 2nd VwK).

but yeah even without RF(radiation field) they go down quite fast.

GJ on the build ReZDoGG!! Hope there's more places we could farm in GW:EN other than the ones you posted...

Yeah I don't think there will be too many more. Drakkar Lake would be awesome to farm Chillin Wisp, but damn stupid Symbosis screws up the build by giving you shit load of extra health. Alot of melee enemies in gwen have alot of interruption and knockdown skills.... although knockdowns can be counter with "I am Unstoppable". Kinda disappointing knowing the limitations of farming in gwen for invinci builds.
